There is also a a more serious side to this, once you've established a connection to one of these fake "peers", your IP has been logged and will most likely be sent to the RIAA, MPAA or your ISP to inform them what you have been downloading. This usually happens because Anti-P2P organizations are polluting P2P networks with fake peers, which send out fake or corrupt data in order to waste bandwidth and slow down file transfers.

This build uses two pieces of Primordial Malzeno armor, Risen Chameleos arms, and two pieces of Risen Kushala Daora armor. If you can get Buildup Boost to Lv.3 through augments or a talisman, the Risen Mizuha arms can be swapped out for Primordial Vambraces to max out Blood Awakening and make more space for decorations.

You can also use Stickink to stick an enemy into a glue ball, preventing it from moving or killing you.īouncink makes you bounce very high from any paintable surface, be it the floor, wall, or ceiling. Stickink makes you stick to surfaces so that you can move along walls and ceilings. Note that the drop coins are important to free the Golden Splasher at the end of each level. Water allows you to perform primary actions, such as activate mechanisms with small treadmills, damage enemies and also collect ‘drop coins’ by cleaning golden dirt. So in Splasher you jump (yep), but most of all YOU FIRE LIQUID PROJECTILES EVERYWHEEEEERE!!Ĭombining these different abilities with skill is the key: Over the next 3 years I created all the game code and level designs, while my artist friend Richard Vatinel (aka Gromy, the other half of the Splashteam) crafted all the graphics and animations. Well, I wanted those kind of mechanics but in a good ol’ 2D action platformer.īoom! Splasher was born. But I thought ‘why not turning it into something you can interact with’? A proper gameplay feature? So I started to think about paints with different physical properties depending on their colour, and of course I remembered another well-known game and its clever 3D puzzles using paints… You know, its name starts with a ‘P’ and ends with ‘rtal’. Initially it was made to be… blood splatters (what a creative mind…). One day I created a surface painting system. Initially the idea was to reproduce my favourite gameplay styles for training purposes. The concept of Splasher popped up while I was prototyping random stuff back in 2013. Your mission if you shall accept it : Put an end to the despicable projects of the weirdo CEO, a scientist known as “Le Docteur”, and rescue all the Splasher’s buddies.įrom salary dev to indie dev: Splasher was born You don’t want the below happening to you…Īs you splash your way through the 22 levels, your cannon will grant you more and more abilities, such as sticking to walls, bouncing high in the air or even throw your dumb opponents into their own traps. Armed with your loyal paint cannon, you’ll face the many dangers of Inkorp in order to save your buddies from an ugly destiny. Splasher is a fast-paced 2D platformer in which you play a purple haired dude who rises against the authority of a massive paint factory named INKORP. I can’t tell you how much I’m proud of it! It has been such a crazy obstacle course to make it happen. Four years ago I left the big industry to go indie and now here I am, announcing that my first game is coming to PS4. Hi! I’m Romain Claude, former game designer at Ubisoft Montpellier, who worked on Rayman Origins and Legends. ![]() And guess what? In Splasher, you play this guy… So who best to defeat him than a young hero ‘chosen by destiny’. Ok let’s make it simple: You know when you say your boss is a paint in the neck?

So what makes the NexStar 127SLT different? The SLT stands for “star locating telescope.” That means it has a built-in computer. It’s an advanced telescope that you can buy for way less than a thousand dollars. You also get a tripod accessory tray, tube rings, a collimation cap, and Starry Night astronomy photography software.Īre you a beginner with some money but don’t want to break the bank? Then you might want to take a look at the Celestron NexStar 127SLT. It includes a 1.25-inch rack-and-pinion focuser and a tripod. It allows you to track stars manually with precision. That means you can take it to remote areas without much struggle.Īnother great feature of the SpaceProbe is its equatorial mount. The whole set also only weighs 27 pounds, which isn’t substantial for telescope equipment at all. Its 24-inch tube makes it portable and ideal for long trips. The SpaceProbe has a 5.1-inch aperture that lets you view and photograph distant planets and nebulas. ![]() That’s significant, especially since astrophotography demands high-quality optics-which Orion delivers. What makes the SpaceProbe 130ST special is its quality materials. The one that we like best is the Orion 09007 SpaceProbe 130ST. But it also has budget-friendly options that are perfect for astrophotography beginners. It has tons of products that are pretty expensive. Orion is a high-quality brand of telescopes. And it includes a star diagonal, database, and SkyAlign software. It’s light, portable, and straightforward to use. Some other options have a focal ratio of f/4, which is much better for astrophotography. In other words, you may have to use longer exposure times when taking pictures. That means it doesn’t let in much light for your camera. Perhaps the only issue with the Nexstar 8 SE is its focal ratio of f/10. It also features a database of more than 40,000 celestial objects! This automatically locates and tracks objects for you. The Celestron NexStar 8SE has a fully-automated, built-in GoTo mount. To take full advantage of the telescope’s excellent optics, you should add a few good eyepieces. The Nexstar 8SE comes with a simple red dot finderscope and a basic 25mm eyepiece. The Celestron NexStar 8SE is for experienced astrophotographers because you need a long focal length for a narrow field of view. It has excellent optics and computerized GoTo tracking. This telescope is one of the most expensive ones on our list. After all, it’s not a bad idea to invest in a good piece of astrophotography equipment early on. It includes a tripod and Starry Night astronomy photography software. You need to be familiar with telescopes to use it to its full potential.īut that doesn’t mean you can’t buy it even if you don’t have the experience. It’s challenging to set up and use even without a camera. The only downside of the Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ is that it’s not a telescope for a beginner. It also features an equatorial mount with two slow-motion control knobs, ideal for fine adjustments. ![]() With an aperture of 114mm, it’s perfect for photographing planets and constellations. It has most (if not all) of the features that only more expensive options offer. What if you’re experienced in astrophotography but on a budget? Then the Celestron AstroMaster is for you. The Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ is a great option for anyone looking to get into astrophotography.

But there are moments of playfulness here too, moments of humour that need to be acknowledged, even if that humour is tinged with the loss of a memory and brain that lifted and carried the stories of a nation for so many years. In its review of the album, the Toronto Star warns that “Introduce Yerself” will haunt listeners. He announced this album in September, surprising everyone other than those who work on it with him. Whether we want to admit it, we all knew our time with Downie was short and to be treasured. What sets apart this album from David Bowie’s “Blackstar” is we knew Downie was sick we didn’t know about Bowie’s cancer until after the album was released days before he died. So much has been written about the album, called everything from his parting gift to fans to a love letter. The misunderstood world.It’s been nearly two weeks since we lost Gord Downie and just a few days since his last solo album, “Introduce Yerself,” was released. Downie takes the final moments of the song - which closes the album - to focus on hope: “Let’s turn our faces to the sun and get whatever warmth there is in the unnoticed world. “They’re parents without kids, without parents,” he says. Downie tells of his mindset of “keeping things real and keeping things day-to-day” while he learned more about “life of the North, in a Canada we should’ve never called Canada.” He sheds light on problems that are “over 100 years old” and the scars left by residential schools. “THE NORTH” - After last year’s whirlwind summer tour the Hip embarked on a trip to James Bay with Canadian novelist Joseph Boyden and a group of Indigenous guides. She rejects his advances and tells him off. ![]() “You had long blond hair to your waist and didn’t give a damn.” Eventually his lust takes over and Downie tries to make a move. “You read books all the time and made me want to read books over my head,” he sings. He frames their connection with a cinematic vigour. “MY FIRST GIRLFRIEND” - Dipping into nostalgia deepest here, Downie reflects on his first relationship, with someone six years his senior. “We talked about other stuff nearly every day too, with the B’s you could never lose.” Percussion was recorded with a hockey stick on the driveway outside the studio. “We talked about them nearly every day, for over 40 years now,” he sings. His younger brother Patrick shares the spotlight in this memory, with Downie singing about their shared love for the Boston Bruins. ![]() ![]() “YOU ME AND THE B’S” - Downie’s hockey obsession was no secret, so it’s completely appropriate that one of the album’s most upbeat songs pays tribute to the sport that brought him so much joy. But the tattoo shop was closed and the phrase was never inked, though Downie immortalized his idea on the album cover. On Christmas Eve, he decided to tattoo the words on his hand. Downie talks about how that moment stuck with him. He writes “Introduce Yerself” on his hand and pokes his friend, hoping the suggestion might ease the tension. His memory is deteriorating and he’s struggling with the name of his driver, even though he feels he should know him. “INTRODUCE YERSELF” - One of the songs Downie wrote after his invasive brain surgery, it begins while he’s riding in the backseat of a vehicle with a friend. He finishes with a lesson he took to heart in his final days: “You said, ‘What you do is you.”‘ “First person to lean down and kiss me goodnight.” The song then drifts towards Downie repeating “goodbye” against the haunting sound of a piano and an intensifying kick drum that evokes the sound of a heartbeat. “First person, this is the gift of my life,” he sings. “FIRST PERSON” - Setting a sombre tone, Downie offers flashes of what seem to be early memories of his mother, Lorna. Here are five notable tracks and their back stories: The album is best experienced on a set of headphones, which commits the listener to hanging onto every word of each story from Downie, who died last week at 53. Sometimes the context is hazy and who he’s speaking to is often a mystery. ![]() “Introduce Yerself” pays homage to the good times Downie shared with friends, moments of emotional intimacy, and perhaps even ties up a few loose ends.
