Pin the ARMS and LEGS to the BODY PIECES, matching the pattern markings. Pin the other BODY PIECE to them then sew the BODY PIECES together along the top, with the SPIKE in between. Pin the BACK SPIKE to one BODY PIECE using the pattern marking at the front of the BODY PIECE to guide you. TIP: This will make the wings ‘stand up’ and stop them flopping forwards. ![]() Pin each wing back, flat against the BODY PIECE and sew a line of stitching across the base of each wing, sewing through all layers (the BODY PIECE and the WING PIECES inside. Pin the WINGS in place.įold the BODY PIECE, fabric right sides together, and sew the WING inside the slit, using the pattern markings to guide you. Sew the darts in the BODY PIECES (1 on each side).Ĭut the wing slit in the BODY PIECES to create a dart for the wings. Sew the other BODY PIECE to the TAIL TWO PIECE, don’t worry, IF you have followed the layout diagram you can only pin them together the right way! □ Sew one BODY PIECE to the TAIL ONE PIECE. (I use Fraystop to make sure these stitches don’t come undone at the start and finish). Using the pattern markings as a guide, sew the top stitching lines on the wings. Clip the seams very well so they turn nicely. Sew the WING PIECES together in pairs, leaving the straight edge open. Clip the points well, turn and pin the TAIL SPIKE so it lies flat. I use lots of pins to keep the spikes flat but you can also use a cool iron to press them very lightly. Clip the seams very well then turn right sides out. Sew the LEG PIECES together then turn them right sides out. Pin the FOOT PAD PIECES to the LEG PIECES, matching the 3 toes, use lots of pins so the pieces won’t slip as you sew, then sew them together. Remember to leave the gap open for stuffing. Sew the ARM PIECES together in pairs, leaving the gap open for stuffing, and turn them right sides out. I added an ¾ inch/18mm FELT circle behind the eyes to make them stand out against the fabric. If you are using craft/safety eyes insert them now. Sew the CHIN PIECE to the SNOUT & FACE PIECES matching points F, H and K. Sew the dart in the CHIN PIECE (only 1 at the front) then cut the slit at the back of the CHIN PIECE. Sew the darts in the FACE PIECES (1 each side) and the SNOUT PIECES (1 each side)… There are 4 darts in total! Trim the seams well at E and use a blunt object like a wooden chopstick to turn the seam well at E (this is the dragon’s nose!). Sew the SNOUT PIECES to the FOREHEAD & FACE PIECES matching points G and H. Clip the seams like you did with the EARS. Sew the SNOUT PIECES together from G – E – F. Repeat Step 2 – Step 4 for the other EAR. Sew the FOREHEAD PIECE to the FACE PIECE from B – A – D (with the ear in between).įold the EAR and pin it to the FACE PIECE matching point C.

Granted all such game features are common today, yet they were unprecedented and shockingly realistic in this hallmark game of games. Strengthened characters carried more supplies and useful objects. New spells could be learned through experimentation, new fighting techniques developed through use of weapons. Given time and practice their abilities did indeed grow. Over a dozen from warrior to wizard, elvish type to monstrosity, but only four of these could be restored to life as your avatars.Įach character's unique strengths were an asset, their magical abilities, weapons they carried, but you quickly realized your revived champions were puny compared to the challenges ahead. Eventually they stumbled across portraits hung on the dungeon walls, portraits of heroes and creatures from previous failed expeditions. Players began as a disembodied spirit drifting through stone corridors for some unknown purpose. "Dungeon Master" was the first truly interactive computer adventure game offering a real time 3-D experience. Too bad FTL never ported the sequel Chaos Strikes Back to the PC.ĭungeon Master has an addon available: Dungeon Master: Chaos Strikes Back - Expansion Set #1, don't miss it! External links Don't consider yourself an RPG fan if you've never played this classic. ![]() ![]() For an in-depth dungeon crawl, there's no better game in town. Although the game's depth and scope may scare beginners away, its adventure-game style puzzles that take precedence over pointless combats should entice them to try it out. Overall, Dungeon Master is one of the most addictive RPGs you'll ever play. The game's anal-retentive attention to detail, such as the fact that you must always pay attention to your party members' thirst and hunger levels and feed them when necessary, may be a nuisance to beginners or casual RPGers, but for anal-retentive gamers, it's a dream come true. Many races in the game had hitherto been unavailable in any RPG, and high-level spells are very imaginative (these are not your run-of-the-mill Lightning Bolts). The game's immersive atmosphere is achieved by a combination of real-time play (allowing the monsters to attack you by surprise, for example), great sound effects, and depth of role-playing features. on nights that I wasn't hooked with the game far into the wee hours of the morning, that is. I fondly recall the number of nights I've laid awake in bed, thinking about how to past that blasted mysterious door. No matter how difficult they are, though, they are very logical and addictive. The puzzles go above and beyond simple "find key to unlock door" puzzles of a typical RPG- they include fiendish riddles, physical puzzles, and inventory-based puzzles that fans of adventure games will appreciate. What Dungeon Master lacks in terms of storyline and writing, it more than makes up for with sheer playability, ingenious puzzles, and incredible atmosphere. It's a dungeon crawl, nothing more, nothing less, played from a first person perspective. There are naturally all sorts of encounters along the way that will enable you to improve your character's strengths and skills, and pocket a few nifty magical items. The premise, which isn't one of the game's strong points, is very tenuous and simple: you control a party of up to four adventurers of various races who must find their way through a 12-level dungeon and defeat its owner (an evil wizard, of course). Few, however, could match the game in sheer addictiveness. At the time when the game was released (whether Amiga, Commodore, ST, or PC), there were many better looking RPGs on the market. More than anything, the game epitomizes the "gameplay over graphics" tenet that is fading fast in today's preoccupation with 3D accelerated games. Without a doubt one of the best RPGs ever made for any computer, FTL's Dungeon Master is an epic RPG masterpiece that revolutionizes and rejuvenates the genre in much the same way as Baldur's Gate did over a decade later. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are a number of others such as school buses, and trucks. You’ve seen a couple different Poly Bridge vehicles in the images I’ve shown so far. You can also create suspension bridges, or come up with something uniquely your own. In short, hydraulics allow for some very interesting structures. You can make draw bridges as well, and the hydraulics can be set to either expand or contract so they move the way you want them to. Using hydraulics, you can also make bridges with an entire road section that elevates to let a ship through. Jumps aren’t the only interesting things you can make in Poly Bridge, though. Poly Bridge lets you build crazy jumps, too! These limits can all be set in your custom levels that you create in Sandbox mode as well. In addition to funding, you also may have limits on certain types of building materials in each level. There is also an achievement for clearing each world with all levels beat while staying under budget. It makes it much more challenging to try to win the level while staying under the set budget. You can exceed the funding limit, but only by so much. There is also a funding limit in each level. Don’t think that will make this game easy, though! In most cases, if your bridge is going to fail, it will do so well before you meet the level objectives, anyway. In fact, your bridge can even collapse, but you still win as long as all vehicles reach their destinations and all ships pass by without colliding with the bridge. You may also notice the van flips as it reaches its destination! This still counts as a win for you. You can see how the bridge parts change color in real time to show the changing loads on each beam. The animated gif above (and the one below) are from the Poly Bridge online gallery that is full of user-shared replays, which the game exports as animated gifs. The stress view shows that this bridge is in good shape, as all parts are green. This is important in later levels, as placement of joints can make all the difference between a bridge that stands, and one that fails in epic fashion. ![]() You also get the option to toggle grid snapping off for finer control of where things are placed. You can also change the simulation speed and watch your bridge in slow motion, allowing you to better see where the problem begins when things go terribly wrong. If a part turns bright red, it’s close to failing. You can toggle on stress view, which highlights bridge parts in different colors to show how stressed they are. The game includes features to help you in your bridge building endeavors, though. All of these materials have their limits, though put too much stress on them and your entire bridge may come toppling down. Building materials include wood, steel, road, cable, hydraulics, and suspension. Building your bridges is simple and intuitive in Poly Bridge. The music is catchy and fits well with the visuals. The game has a cartoony art style that gives the game a fun and playful feeling to it. This is the suspension bridge level from the tutorial. Constructing your masterpiece bridge is simple and intuitive. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, that is a small issue, considering how strong all the other factors are.There are two ways to go about realistic games. Also, the music is basic dubstep that you can easily change out for your own playlist. The hum of the engines do not quite grasp the intensity of an actual race. The only other aspect that can be deemed below average is the soundtrack and overall sounds. The graphics do a wonderful job pulling you into the world and making every race feel like a new experience. It’s not necessarily that a crash wasn’t possible at the moment, but the simple way your bike tilts over makes it feel even the slightest fault will send you over.Īll of that aside, everything in the game feels extremely polished. However, there are still some moments when hitting another player (especially when landing) that will cause you to go over the bars. This is huge step forward compared to earlier versions where you might just get shot off the course for a slight bump. You can bump into riders and keep riding, albeit you will be slowed down. MXGP3 demonstrates an improvement over its predecessors. That’s not to say that you can’t overshoot a jump or land short, but it’s safe to say that once you’re in the air, it’s a little bit like auto pilot.Īnother struggle is the crash physics. One should be aware that the aerial physics are a little pre-ordained and can make a jump feel like you’re just floating along. You really feel each bump as the camera bounces around. This camera angle definitely immerses you into each race, but it is much harder to control and can easily make you dizzy. These factors can be somewhat problematic when taking on a first-person view though. All of this really shows intense attention to the track and the way a ride should feel. In general, you have to be careful with leaning, as not being careful will easily have your bike toppling over. If it’s raining, you will need to have a handle on throttle control in order to ride with any grace. ![]() You can hook into ruts that riders have made themselves, which shows great development in terms of ground physics. This difficulty is due to a lot of in-game mechanics and features, which happen to be the same reasons why MXGP3 goes above and beyond other motocross games, even its predecessors. Earning such places is not too terrible, as you will earn enough experience to level up and actually do better bit by bit. If you are used to racing games, you will probably be able to maintain the sixth or tenth position out of 22. It is extremely hard to take the lead and to keep it. From the get go, you’ll realize that this game does not pander to those who do not have any history with the franchise or sport. However, how do you unlock all these nice little touches? Well, you are going to have to win, and to win you need to ride better than a good chunk of the competition. ![]() It is nice being able to build your bike to your exact preferences. The cherry on top is the fact that there are more than 300 components for complete customization of your ride. For lovers of the sport, it can be a truly awesome experience to be going face-to-face with pros they have watched race. You can even join all the riders and their bikes in the MXoN from the 2016 MXGP and MX2 seasons. Then there are 18 official tracks for you to take on, each with their own unique twists and turns. The video game not only showcases top bike builds from Yamaha to KTM, but also gives you the chance to be sponsored by names like Bihr and so many more massive companies. The first things to take note of are the accurate details taken from the actual industry. MXGP3 – The Official Motocross Videogame – Announce Trailer – PS4 The one thing to be aware of is that this video game is not for the uninitiated, or if you are a complete newcomer to the video game and motocross in general, then you will have a tough time adjusting to its parameters. The actual gameplay is also realistically portrayed, and chances are you will spend countless hours moving up the ranks and improving your bike. You are gearing up with actual brand names that you have probably watched and drooled after for years. For people who love motocross (fans and riders alike) the video game offers a lot to sink your teeth into. From the get go, this video game has you picking your number and font for your jersey, your bike, and your sponsor. Every single aspect of it is developed in such a way that entrenches you into the motocross world. MXGP3 – The Official Motocross Videogame is all about giving you a legitimate motocross experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Selection of clips as short as a few frames, or as long as all the chapters in a movie.Summary of Cinematize 2 for Windows Main Features: Cinematize offers a very simple user interface with good documentation and thorough technical support for novice users, as well as comprehensive features and great performance for professional users.

Plus 2 seperately configurable alarms that go off every day at whatever time you set them (and easy to turn them on and off). I agree with everything there except instead of dual alarm:Ī dial with each day of the week and configurable alarm for each day (including the ability to turn them on and off easily). The closest I came to something with the list from above was this unit, but it was lacking good sound quality and looked kind of cheap: It's still difficult to read a backlit LCD from afar.

The sound on it was very impressive, I was comparing it with the Phillips AJ300D sitting next to it and was frankly blown away by the TEAC. The Teac Digital Dual Alarm Clock & Radio offers the best of both worlds. Costco has one at a very good price, it's the TEAC SR-L230i and it comes in white and black.

Both his radio program and his concert business thrived. Suddenly, the press was talking about rock 'n' roll and its evils.įreed's popularity soared after the Moondog Ball. The local newspapers gave the incident front page coverage and the wire service spread the story around the world. Despite Freed's denial that the show was oversold, he was accused of exposing his young audience to danger. City Council immediately passed an ordinance making it illegal to oversell the capacity of a public building. It took the CLEVELAND POLICE and the CLEVELAND FIRE DEPARTMENT several hours to clear the Arena and to stop the fighting. Inside, fighting broke out in the audience and the concert ended after the first song. When the music started, the huge crowd outside broke down the Arena doors. After admitting the capacity of the hall, there were still thousands outside waiting to get in. Neither Freed or the Arena staff were prepared for the large crowd that showed up the night of the concert. Advertised as "the most terrible ball of them all," the event was called the "Moondog Coronation Ball" because Freed intended to crown himself the "King of the Moondoggers." The show featured Paul Williams & The Hucklebuckers, Tiny Grimes & The Rockin' Highlanders, the Dominoes, Danny Cobb, and Varetta Dilliard. After a few dances in Akron, Canton, and Vermillion, they promoted a large show at the ARENA on 21 Mar. After a few events, with promoter Booker Brooks, Freed formed a partnership with Lew Platt. They were attracted to the music, but it was Freed's Moondog persona that created a very loyal audience, the Moondoggers.Īfter several months at WJW, Freed began promoting dances that featured the R&B bands he played on his radio show. Freed's radio style, howling and yelling "rock & roll," while pounding on a telephone book, his wit and his ambition were the sparks that fueled his popularity with the teens in the black neighborhoods. Although disc jockeys across the country were playing R&B records on the radio, Freed was the only one calling it rock 'n' roll. With Leo Mintz sitting in the studio at his side, handing him records, the music mix evolved into the first rock 'n' roll radio format. radio program, "The Moondog Rock & Roll House Party," started as a mixture of popular hits and R&B records. With the sponsorship of Record Rendezvous, Freed started at WJW-AM in July 1951. Freed entered the Cleveland market in April 1950, when he became the host of an afternoon movie program at WXEL-TV (Ch. Freed was impressed with Mintz's customers' reaction to rock 'n' roll and began playing a rock 'n' roll record on his afternoon show as a novelty song sometime in early 1949. Mintz finally met a young, brash disc jockey from WAKR-AM in Akron, ALAN FREED. A poster announcing the “first” rock concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball at the Cleveland Arena, March 1952. ![]() |
