There’s a bit of a MOBA element to the crafting system, as it ranks up in-match to grant you access to better crafting recipes. You’ll also find plenty of scrap, which you can use to craft gear improvements. You and your team comb the planet in search of data points to harvest, eating rations to keep your hunger bar from depleting and finding fire and shelter when you get too cold. Looting the environment is the primary objective of Scavengers. Consequently, the first few minutes play out just like Fortnite or Warzone, with you and your teammates in a mad dash to loot the surrounding buildings for weapons and gear. However, like most other battle royale games, everything else in your inventory depends entirely on what you’re able to find in the environment. Their special abilities, such as a shield bubble and a healing aura, reflect their fireteam roles and are available the instant your boots touch the ground at the start of a match (albeit with the requisite cooldown timer). The three characters available to you from the outset cover the three main archetypes of attack, defense, and support – Halden carries a special assault rifle and is the tankiest character, Valora is squishy but wields a devastating shotgun, and Tarik is the sniper. Scavengers is a character-based shooter, with each character possessing a unique special ability and craftable weapon. I got to play three matches during my time with the game, which teamed me and another media person with one of Midwinter’s developers acting as a de facto squad leader and guide. (Let’s hope it sticks around in the zeitgeist longer than that last title.) Although it will feel extremely familiar to anyone who has played Fortniteor Warzone, a match of Scavengers plays out like a hybrid of Apex Legends, Valheim, and Predator: Hunting Grounds. And even though Scavengers is undeniably structured like a battle royale shooter, that’s not an entirely accurate label. On top of all that, the world is procedurally generated, eliminating the meta-game aspect of racing to a specific landmark that tends to plague other battle royale games. There’s also a crafting system that ranks up in-match as you gather data, allowing you to construct gear improvements such as a better shield and your character’s signature weapon. In addition to enemy players, you and your teammates will have to contend with survival elements like hunger and extreme weather, as well as AI-controlled creatures and raider gangs. Scavengers is a sandbox online shooter that groups players into teams of 3 and drops them onto a hostile planet in a race to salvage as much data as possible before heading to an extraction point for evac. You were born and raised in Portland and went to Benson High. Walker: “Woodlawn” also prominently references your home neighborhood of Woodlawn Park. But it isn’t the main focus of the album. So that was definitely something I wanted to touch on. So, um, seeing him die was tragic, you know, for me and my friends. And for me, he was like a second dad that I saw on TV. You reference his influence mostly on the song “Woodlawn.” Why Kobe?Īminé: Kobe just affected every kind of young Black man in America who played sports. Walker: I think being jolted by a moment is not uncommon in your 20s or 30s, but one catalyst for you on this album seems to have been the death of Kobe Bryant. I thought I wanted to make something that I could play formy kids 10 years from now and listen to it and smile because what I say in a song really happened. That to me is what makes somebody’s legacy really cool and something that would last forever, when you could just be honest. I was inspired by a lot of albums, but one that inspired me a while ago was “4:44” by Jay-Z where I got to hear this veteran and one of the all-time greatest rappers alive be brutally honest in his music. When I started making “Limbo” I though a lot about legacy. I think it takes a lot of guts for an artist to just be honest like this on an album, because you don’t get to hear that that much in 2020 at least from a hip-hop perspective. I’m kind of 26 years old, going through a quarter-life crisis, just becoming an adult, really coming into my own. Walker: I don’t mean this in a bad way, but I think you sound a little lost - maybe existentially - on some of these songs.Īminé: I do feel lost. Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with me today. Jerad Walker: I’m here with Adam Aminé Daniel, better known as Aminé, whose new album “Limbo” came out last month via Republic Records. Listen to the interview above or read the full transcript below. The joyful quirkiness is still there, but on the album’s 13 songs (and one skit) it’s tempered with a healthy dose of what the musician refers to as “brutal honesty.” While that turn is certainly a sign of the distressing times we live in, Aminé also hinted at a deeper, existential cause in a recent conversation with opbmusic that also touched on his complicated relationship with Portland, his thoughts on the city’s protest movement, and the early musical influence of spending Sunday mornings with his parents.Īminé will be the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC this Thursday, Sept. On “Limbo,” that’s where he firmly plants his flag, establishing himself as one of the Northwest’s finest musical exports along the way. But it was his ability to deftly mix serious social commentary with irreverent humor and an almost unsinkable buoyancy that hinted at greater staying power. The songs on his debut record were marked by catchy, keys-driven beats and the kind of cutting pop culture references that involuntarily curl the corners of your mouth. Propelled forward by the summertime jam “Caroline,” he existed in a ( mostly yellow) technicolor world. In many ways, he was made for this moment.įour years ago, Aminé experienced a meteoric rise, almost entirely bypassing Portland’s local music scene on the way to mainstream success. COVID-19 has killed nearly 200,000 Americans, civil unrest has gripped his hometown for months, and wildfires are burning largely unchecked throughout much of the West, including the musician’s adopted home in Southern California.īut coming from the Portland-born rapper, it’s entirely plausible. Thanks for listening,” Aminé says.It’s a bold proclamation given the current state of the country. It’s an opportunity to create for my day one fans the way I used to in my bedroom. “The POINTFIVE projects are the breaks in between albums where I give myself the freedom to make music without expectations, focusing instead of spontaneity and the best of what comes from stream of conscious creation, which is why they arrive unexpectedly without a long rollout. TWOPOINTFIVE acts as the second act to Aminé’s 2018 project ONEPOINTFIVE, which arrived in between his debut album Good For You and sophomore album Limbo, and solidified Aminé’s status as a hitmaker in the modern hip-hop landscape with tracks like “REEL IT IN” and “BLACKJACK.” TWOPOINTFIVE takes inspiration from various strains of club and dance music, synthesized in a way that feels distinct to Aminé and his brand of clever lyricism. Like its lead single “Charmander,” the video for which was lauded by GQ as the “Most Menswear-y Music Video of 2021” for its incredible styling and featured by Pitchfork as one of the best music videos of October 2021, TWOPOINTFIVE finds Aminé using the project to explore new sonic territory. The twelve-track release is set to arrive this Friday. Today, Portland-born rapper Aminé announces the imminent release of his new project TWOPOINTFIVE. Same basic technique as above, but from a side saddle. You can do this from belt pouches, your stock, or a side saddle.Ībout 3:40 in. And, most competition gear is not designed to stand up to the rigors of combat - roll down a hill with some of these and you'll have shotgun shells all over the place.Ībout 48 seconds in. Some of these are cool but less useful outside of competition - keeping eyes up on target and maintaining mobility are important. All of these will require special shotshell carriers and lots of practice to get any good at-but that's part of the fun, right? non lethal shotgun ammo 12 gauge shotgun loader 410 speed loader shotgun ammo belt chemlight dispenser shell holder From the manufacturer Ammopal The Ultimate Shotgun Dispencer Ammopal Shotgun Dispensers are tough, versatile, and hold up to prolonged use so you can focus on your game and your aim. From the firing position, I bring the stock off my shoulder and down next to my hip. Brass Down Shotgun Reload For this first technique, I’m starting with the primers, or brass part of the shells, oriented at the bottom of the sidesaddle. Here are a bunch of YouTube videos to showcase some of the techniques. So both of these techniques include topping off the gun and loading an empty gun. The video below shows the Speed Load Plus feature in action on the A5 semi-auto shotgun. Three gun and cowboy action shooting, both prominently featuring scatter guns, have helped push the envelope in terms of shell carrying gear and reloading techniques. A speedloader is a device used to reduce the time and effort needed to reload a firearm. The gun-mounted Match Savers used for 3-Gun permit the lightning-fast reload of a single shell. Not covered are devices intended for high-speed gamesmanship. More range (and punch) will require a switch to a slug. The latest craze to hit the competition shooting world is the load two method of shotgun loading, and now even the load four load. A Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver, displayed with two speedloaders. Effective range, depending on the gun and load, will max out at around 3540 yards. Then there was the 4-shell caddy reload, which took a ton of practice but was quicker than the sidesaddle. It worked, and it was cheap, so people liked it. When you've only got a few rounds to work with, you need to be fast at topping off in an emergency. First, there was the sidesaddle reload method. Given their comparatively limited capacity, reloading is an important skill for combat shotgunning. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the. It should appeal to those of high intellect who read the works of Lovecraft in spite of the many short comings in literary style ( I love the themes but how many times can a man us "cyclopean" or "unspeakable, unnamable" "eldritch" "ichor" laden horrors and in every tale?) Better writers then me have noted that his style is ponderous yet his influence and contributions to his genre cannot be missed. The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. The effects are what they are but even a stop motion of Mighty Cthulhu and classic film tricks don't take away from the challenge, a film adaptation of Lovecraft that is true, this is it. Of course those jaded folks who need their horror served up with heaps of blood, guts and slick CGI effects are in for a disappointment. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird. The story takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1928 and is written in the first-person past tense.

Read online: The Call of Cthulhu is one of H. What could have been its down fall make sit work. The Call of Cthulhu is divided into three acts. Being a huge Lovecraft fan and been very disappointed in just about every film adaptation of his works I skeptically found this gem a refreshing change. It seems that too many people have little or no appreciation for the art of film making and its history. Team members in Denmark maintained full control of the weather programming, though halfway through the 61-day experiment they yielded to Aristotelis and Sorensen’s desire to exaggerate the spectrum of the colors to better imitate the overwhelming and intense experience of observing a sunset or sunrise from outside.Īccording to Aristotelis, there allegedly exists a myth that if one could control the entire climate, he or she would make every day like the best day in Hawaii. When asked if an optimal lighting environment had been determined, Aristotelis told AN that no such environment existed the inability to control or predict the weather patterns simulated by the panels was more critical than finding an optimal setting. The LUNARK habitat when fully folded down and compressed (Courtesy SAGA Space Architects) To further combat monotony, they were programmed to vary between days, employing different light intensities to mimic weather conditions such as sunny and overcast skies. The custom-sized LED panels were designed to be able to emulate the phases of a natural light environment, simulating dawn, sunrise, daylight, sunset, and dusk. The bottom section contained storage, food, a urine tank, and workout equipment the middle cylinder contained desks, toilet, and a heater, and the top dome portion contained the sleeping pods and circadian light panels.Īfter identifying two key challenges which threatened the psychological and physical well-being of astronauts on the International Space Station, insomnia and monotony, SAGA worked closely with lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen to develop an artificial circadian light system for the interior of the LUNARK habitat. The deployed habitat reached an inner volume of 607.4 cubic feet, a 750 percent volume increase on its initial folded storage volume of 77.7 cubic feet, and was partitioned into three main areas. In pursuit of hygge within the habitat, SAGA employed soft interiors, comfortable lighting, colors, surfaces textures, and carefully configured spaces. A prototype of the circadian LED lighting panel (Courtesy SAGA Space Architects) Aristotelis described how “hygge is this feeling… imagine that you are inside a tent and it’s raining but you’re underneath a blanket, completely dry and comfortable and you can hear the sound of the rain outside.” Hygge can mean something different to everyone, but it’s a feeling that can only come if one’s basic primitive needs, such as food, shelter, and protection, have been met. To embody the feeling of comfort, Aristotelis and Sorensen refer to the Danish word hygge. What distinguishes mere survival from living well? Aristotelis told AN that they set out to create a home, not just a space station for survival in a laboratory-like setting. Unlike Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and ICON’s Project Olympus, or Skidmore, Owings & Merrill’s Lunar Village-proposals designed to meet astronauts’ basic needs for surviving on the Moon-SAGA’s LUNARK instead focused on how humans might live comfortably, assuming those basic needs had already been met. Pull standing lines of mainline and leader and cinch tight. Pull the tag end of the mainline tight, then pull the standing end of the mainline tight.ĥ. Wrap 10 turns of the mainline over the other three strands and run back through the loop.Ĥ. Wrap the mainline back around itself and the leader.ģ. Form a loop in the leader and run the mainline through the loop, parallel to the leader, giving yourself 10 inches of extra line to work with.Ģ. The shock-leader knot is the easiest to tie, while the Albright may offer a slightly higher break strength.ġ. Both of these knots work well in either case. While some catfishing situations call for a similar set-up, other instances may necessitate a thinner superbraid leader. The Bimini Twist is the only (read best) knot to use on saltwater gear (trolling, deep dropping, etc.) On light spinning gear, best knot (for braid to leader) would be the FG knot. The common scenario in saltwater involves a lighter mainline tethered to a heavy monofilament shock leader. It's wise to learn a few methods of joining line to line and how to snell a hook - remembering to also moisten lines before tightening knots to prevent knot damage, and to tightly cinch down each knot from both the tag and mainline ends.Īmong a host of alternatives, two knots best known to surf casters, the Albright knot and the shock-leader knot, both provide strong connections between mainline and leader. Too few might mean line slippage or knot failure. Too many wraps may cause excess friction, letting the line play against the knot until it breaks. Braided superlines neither stretch nor contract, providing a rock-solid connection, yet they're susceptible to slippage should the wrong knot be applied.Īnother overlooked consideration is the number of wraps tied into knots. These qualities make mono (and fluorocarbon) vulnerable to friction burns when cinching knots dry. This building, with a boardwalk and patio built over the water (the perfect place for a stroll or to watch sunsets), also houses the restaurant Queen Anne’s Revenge, a tee shirt store, and an ice cream shop. Monofilament stretches and gives, allowing line to grip itself and prevent slippage. This special part of McLaren Vale is renowned for producing wines of. Understanding how different lines react to knotting yields a clearer idea of the best knot for each situation. Bimini Twist Ros is sourced from the cooler elevated sub-region of Blewitt Springs. It's why great anglers know and regularly use a half dozen or more. The right knot is what knotting is all about - why there are so many to choose from. Using the best catfish knots for the situation might be the reason you land rather than lose that monster cat. The proper knots, and the care to craft them well, are often lost in the wash of each new fishing innovation.

In reality, the legendary guitarist was at his height in the ’40s and ’50s and can be considered one of the pioneers of American popular music. “On the Nature of Daylight” – Max RichterĮpisode 4 – Please Hold My Hand “Alone and Forsaken” – Hank WilliamsĮllie, bless her born-in-the-post-apocalypse heart, thinks that Hank Williams was part of Joel’s era.“I’m Coming Home to Stay” – Fleetwood Mac.It’s the first time that we get to see the two bond over music and a reminder of the beautiful love story we just watched. We hear the song again when Ellie discovers a Linda Ronstadt tape in Bill’s truck as she and Joel set off on their journey west. Frank finds a Linda Ronstadt music book in Bill’s piano, and after slightly butchering the song in an earnest attempt to play, Bill takes over and shows us, and Frank, a much softer side to this lone-wolf survivalist. In this episode, we get to see the relationship of Bill and Frank develop over decades, and this song is one of the first things they bond over. That’s even more so the case when that song is “Long Long Time” by Linda Ronstadt. When the title of the episode is also a song title, you know you’re likely in for an emotional ride. Episode 3 – Long, Long Time “Long, Long Time” – Linda Ronstadt Translated, the lyrics are about lost love and feeling empty without the person you care about – sentiments that echo throughout the series as Joel tries to fill the emptiness he feels from losing his daughter Sarah (Nico Parker) at the onset of the outbreak in episode 1 and losing Tess later on in episode 2. This song plays softly in the background of the restaurant where mycologist Ibu Ratna (Christine Hakim) is enjoying her last normal meal before the Indonesian government informs her of the Cordyceps outbreak and asks her how to contain it. While there’s really only one lyrical song in episode 2, and it’s hard to notice unless you’re looking for it, the inclusion of Ari Lasso’s “Hampa” still shows how much thought goes behind the music of the series. “I Can’t Believe You’re Back” – Jad Mhanna, Roy Abdallah, Carole Aoun.If they weren’t around to update the system after a certain amount of time, an ‘80s playlist would automatically broadcast. We learn in episode 3 however, that the song played not because Bill and Frank were in true danger, but because their deaths triggered a system failsafe. At the time, we think it means that Bill and Frank are in danger as per the code they’ve established where ‘60s music means that they have nothing new to trade, ‘70s music means that they have new stock in, and ‘80s music equals trouble. The radio that is used to connect with Joel and Tess’ friends Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett) kicks on playing this song long after they’re gone. The first few trailers for the show feature songs and music from the games in the background, and the series itself has gone even further by incorporating different songs into the fabric of each episode.Įpisode 1 – When You’re Lost in the Darkness “Never Let Me Down Again” – Depeche Modeĭepeche Mode’s “Never Let Me Down Again” plays at the very end of the first episode after Ellie (Bella Ramsey), Joel (Pedro Pascal), and Tess (Anna Torv) have left the Quarantine Zone to meet up with the Fireflies set to take Ellie west. Ellie also sings A-ha’s “Take on Me” to her friend and love interest Dina when the two are in Seattle together – a touching moment amidst all the violence in the game.įrom the beginning, HBO’s The Last of Us showed us that it was going to continue using music as an important thread in its story. At the beginning of the game, Joel sings Pearl Jam’s “Future Days” to Ellie, and it becomes a song that she uses to remember him later on. The Last of Us Part IIshows us how Joel and Ellie use music as a way to connect with and understand each other and even allows the player to strum along via the controller when both characters play guitar. This article contains spoilers through the most recent episode of The Last of Us.įans of The Last of Usknow that music is a key part of the video games’ story. |
