![]() ![]() Find a way to blow a hole in the side of said water bubble, and you'll unleash a torrent across the map, sweeping up any worms that happen to be in its way - which is especially useful when combined with a slope. ![]() Scattered across most levels, you'll find random holes in the map full of water. ![]() The biggest change, at least on the surface, is the addition of water that can actually be used as a weapon - and worms that don't instantly drown when submerged. Meanwhile, the other major change here comes courtesy of the physics engine. Having your worm march into battle with a "Challenge Accepted", or "Hide your kids, hide your wife", before missing with a grenade and lamenting "Son, I am disappoint", never fails to raise a smile. Whilst sadly missing some of the series classics (it used to be very heavy on regional accents - Scouse versus Geordie worms made for an entertaining evening), a new voicebank called Memes quickly became our team's favourite. In fact, the fact you can customise your teams so much is one of the best parts about the game, as you can really make your team your own, choosing an accessory (handlebar moustaches, eyepatches, pirate hats), victory dance ("the worm", natch), gravestone (although sadly, no flowers), and, best of all, a voicebank, full of comments and insults your worms will hurl at your enemies while you're playing the game. Luckily, if the ideas of classes really makes you feel uncomfortable, there's no need to use them, either - you're in charge of creating your own team, so if you'd rather play with a team of classic worms against another, you can set it up yourself. While we were initially worried the classes would make things feel disjointed, or unbalanced, in truth, you're never met with a load out that can "always win" - and the randomness of Worms ensures there's rarely ever a guaranteed winner anyway. Meanwhile, the weedy, yet incredibly fast Scout can zip around the map, leaping huge distances, but pretty much combusts as soon as it sees a weapon, whilst the soldier is your normal, average, everyday worm (at least in the context of the games). There's also a new class system for the Worms, letting you stock your team with your choice of four types of worms - Scientists, who, despite their giant noggin, are fairly weak, but let your team regenerate health for each round they survive Heavies, who, as the name may suggest, may have eaten one too many dirt pies and can absorb plenty of damage, but can't really jump all that well. For starters, the game features nice, 3D environments and characters, yet the gameplay is still 2D - you can only move left and right, making movement, and aiming your weapons a lot easier than when the series chose to dabble in 3D. Concrete Donkeys plummet from the sky with a deafening EEH HAIt's worms.īut as the title may suggest, Worms Revolution brings with it a few changes, some of which are welcome, others less so. Along with the standard bazookas, shotguns, and machine guns, comes a few more unusual additions. With tongue firmly in cheek, the range of weapons on offer here is nothing if not impressive. You get to use a single weapon per turn, so make it count! Take control of your worm, position him, fire, and try to do as much damage as possible to your opponent. And, of course, you've still got a variety of crazy weapons with which to inflict death on your pink, squishy opponents. There's still support for four player, same console multiplayer, which has you playing into the early hours. Your pink pals still squeak helium-induced insults as they squelch around each course, cracking one liners as they decimate their opponents. we hesitate to say strategy game, because that's not really what it's all about - perhaps "blowing up game" would be better suited - the game stays fairly true to the series past, with the idea being to dish out as much damage to the worms of the opposing team as possible, as you pick them off, one by one. Worms Revolution, then, is the latest instalment in the worm warfare game. ![]() ![]() The song made it popular and all that, but it was still just our neighborhood store." "After Claude, someone else turned it into a neighborhood game room and sold cigarettes, so we had another generation," Hill said. "That store played a very important part in our lives. He said the building was important as a place for the neighborhood kids to hang out. ![]() "No, there was never an actual Black Curtis Loew," Hill said. Shorty is the grandfather of current Skynyrd guitarist Rickey Medlocke. He said he has heard that Hamner may have been the inspiration for the fictional Curtis, but he's also heard that there might be a bit of Shorty Medlocke in there as well. Scott Hill also grew up in the neighborhood and ran with Van Zant's younger brother, Johnny, and cousin Jimmie. When Ronnie was putting the song together, Claude Hamner was a baldheaded old white guy, but you couldn’t write a blues song about a baldheaded white guy," Odom said. Hamner was the one who would pull out his flat-top guitar and play for the neighborhood kids. Odom said his memories of the store go back to the '50s when he and his lifelong friend Van Zant would hang out there.īut there definitely was no old "Black man with curly hair" hanging out at Claude's and playing the blues. "It's been closed for years and years and years." "I don’t imagine it’s been used since the '80s or early '90s," he said.

PPG has had a long-standing relationship with Lowes, which provided a primary sales channel for a number of PPGs brands, including its time-honored Olympic brand paints and stain products. 27, 2018, Lowes informed PPG that it will discontinue the sale of Olympic brand paints and stains in its U.S. PPG today announced that late in the day on Feb.

As part of the move, Lowes said Sherwin-Williams will become the only nationwide supplier to Lowe’s U.S. Pittsburgh-based paint giant PPG responded to Lowes previously reported decision to expand its relationship with Sherwin-Williams. ![]() Given the ease of ordering things online, it shouldnt impact convenience much when trying to obtain Benjamin Moore paints. While there may someday become a point where they are available in the major retail stores, that hasnt been the case thus far. That may not make fans of Lowes or the Home Depot very happy, but that is how it remains to be.īenjamin Moore maintains that they can provide the best availability and service of their paint and that is why they continue to sell it through their individual storefronts as well as online. When purchasing online, the selection is far greater, and you can have it shipped to your door for maximum convenience. Outside of that, you will not find Benjamin Moore paints at any other retailer for the time being. Right now, the only place to buy Benjamin Moore paint is through their individual storefronts or through their website online. So, lets find out, does Home Depot sell Benjamin Moore Paint? Where Can You Buy Benjamin Moore Paint The company offers an excellent selection of paint brands at reasonable prices. Home Depot offers innovative paint mixing technology and is a great place to shop for paint and other DIY products. And why not use Benjamin Moore paints, which are known for being high quality and easy to color match? But if you have something in IKEA white, and you want to match it closely, then don’t waste your time trying to find a matching paint colour.Are you planning to give your home a facelift? If your walls are starting to look dull and dingy, repainting them is a quick and easy solution. If you don’t actually have an IKEA Hemnes piece of furniture and you are just trying to copy the look, any one of these would work. The closest Behr match, Clear Moon, PWN-30: So just to compare the paint companies’ colours with the matched paint on the end of the wooden stir stick, here’s what they look like.Ĭlosest Benjamin Moore match, Acadia White, OC-38 (but not really a great match): The closest Valspar match was 7002-8 and I would say out of all the colours by the paint companies, this was the winner, but even still, it wasn’t bang on.Īnd then I remembered that all of these hardware stores can do colour matching! Duh! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that sooner!? So out I trekked to Home Depot with the front of the dresser drawer to have the paint colour matched. Then I compared the CIL colours, but none of those were even close: Definitely closer than any of the Benjamin Moore colours, in my opinion. You can see above that Acadia White by Benjamin Moore is fine, but it’s definitely not bang on.Īnd then holding the swatches up to the dresser drawer (the photo directly above) you can compare the closest match, which is Clear Moon PWN-30. I started with the Benjamin Moore paint chips: I pulled out one of the drawers from the dresser and started setting up paint chips on it. It was surprisingly difficult because without the dresser in front of you, the paint chips closest to its actual colour look way off! Who knew the IKEA white is actually very cream rather than white? I went to Benjamin Moore, Home Depot and Lowes and picked up as many white/neutral paint chips as I could find. But I wanted to see for myself – and it’s a good thing I did, because Acadia White isn’t nearly as close to the IKEA white as I would like. I did a few Google searches and the most popular matching paint colour was Acadia White, OC-38, by Benjamin Moore. The IKEA Hemnes White Colour Matching Challenge But what paint colour is IKEA Hemnes white? You know the IKEA Hemnes 8 drawer dresser I was talking about last week that was a lot bigger than I thought it would be? Well, there are a few other things I’d like to paint to match it. ![]() ![]() If you're a football, fantasy, or Warhammer fan, Blood Bowl II could possibly be your new favorite sports game. Blood Bowl is a game of skill and agility, but do you know what beats fancy footwork any day of the week Nine feet of muscle, fury, and harpoon-like horns embodied in Grashnak Blackhoof, also known as the Great Black Bull. If you find yourself consistently losing against a particular squad (especially if you're in the midst of a losing streak in a league), you can always attempt to upgrade your athletes or purchase special inducements to make your squad stronger. But a passing familiarity with American football isn’t going to be enough for most players to sit down and find success with Blood Bowl 2. This is why defensive efforts are often short-lived, unbalanced, and fragile. Obviously, eleven players are insufficient to lock down the pitch and deny opportunities to the opposing coach. Sure, the game offers a series of tutorials for new players, via the Blood Bowl 2 campaign. Every Blood Bowl coach can only field a maximum of eleven non-stunty players in order to keep or gain possession of the ball. Sure, some teams (such as the Chaos squad or the Dwarves) may attempt to cheat or cripple your team, but even their violent tendencies can be overcome. Blood Bowl 2 isn’t exactly the most newbie-friendly game of 2015. This level of unpredictability makes gameplay shockingly even among every team, even though they all have their advantages and disadvantages. The current priority is to deliver the console update, in order to bring all fixes and improvements made on PC through 4 patches and servers updates to PS4 and Xbox One, but more updates with improvements are coming. Someone is getting flattened when Grashnak gets up to speed. This special rule helps him steamroll most muscly opponents, and even gives him a leg up against equally massive rivals. You can influence these dice to a degree (and even purchase re-rolls for catastrophically failed attempts), but the simple fact is there are no guarantees. We are constantly working on ironing out your Blood Bowl 2 experience. The Great Black Bull is in his element charging across the pitch to deliver his signature twin-horned Blitz, leaving unfortunate players Gored by the Bull. If Lady Luck is with you, your squad can create large opportunities on offense or defense, but one bad roll could cause you to cough up the ball, miss a throw, or get one of your star athletes brutally injured. This can be both exhilarating and infuriating at the same time. In fact, a roll of the dice affects every action you take, so you may need forethought, planning, and luck to succeed. But under the blood sport (which shows very little blood), there's a lot of strategy waiting to be found. Blood Bowl 2 is a smashy, satisfying, irreverent combat-sports melee that leaves just a bit too much of the outcome up to the six-sided dice. True, the on-field violence is stronger than other football games because you can stun, injure, or even kill opponents with punishing hits. Fan Factor: the Fan Factor represents how popular the team is, and can have important effects on the results of some special events during kick-off.Despite the carnage-filled title, this high-impact football simulation is a surprisingly deep sports game.The more assistant coaches you have on your team, the more likely you are to win the "Brilliant Coaching" special event at kick-off for an extra team re-roll. Assistant Coaches: assistant coaches include offensive and defensive coordinators, special team coaches, personal trainers for your legendary players and numerous others.The more cheerleaders you have on your team, the more likely you are to win the "Cheering Fans" kick-off event… you could get a free, extra re-roll out of that! It's the team's cheerleaders’ job to whip the fans into a state of frenzy and lead the chanting and singing as the crowd’s shouts and howls build up to a deafening crescendo. Cheerleaders: most Blood Bowl teams have a troupe or two of cheerleaders both to inspire the team's players and their fans.Good thing you can choose between both the old and new result! Keep in mind though, his medical license is probably forged, and a broken leg could very well turn into a painful death. Having an Apothecary in your team will give you the opportunity to change the result of a casualty roll, one time per match, hopefully saving from certain doom one of your downed players. ![]() Apothecary: injuries, casualties, and even death is common on a Blood Bowl pitch.Team Re-roll: the Team-reroll lets you do exactly that: re-roll a failed dice roll! However, keep in mind there is no guarantee the new result will be better than the previous one.These are some of the extra services you can hire or afford for your teams: ![]() ![]() ![]() Over the counter pain relievers like Aleve, Tylenol, and Advil can address these symptoms.

But If the toe is bent and held in one position long enough, the muscles tighten and cannot stretch out. Usually, muscles work in pairs to straighten and bend the toes. The toe's abnormal bending is the result of an imbalance on the muscles, ligaments, and tendons that usually keep the toe straight. This condition resembles the head of a hammer, hence its nickname.

Real-life reports of unidentified flying objects, alien bodies and strange creatures are plentiful in historic accounts of the American West. Other gruesome notables in this genre include The Crossings by Jack Ketchum and Shadow on the Sun by Richard Matheson. Lansdale has written prolifically in this area, and his novel, Dead in the West, is one of the classic tales of zombies in the Old West.ĭeadlands: Ghostwalkers by New York Times bestseller Jonathan Maberry, tells the stories of monsters and mayhem in the setting of the well-known role-playing game (RPG). The adventures of anti-hero, hexslinger Jonah Hex is one prime example. Though far too many to name, several stories in the genre have stood the test of time. The Weird West blends easily with horror elements, with a glut of stories centered on cursed lands, haunted mines and other unsettling backdrops. Alternate history is also often seen in the Weird West (e.g., what if the Civil War outcome had turned out differently?). Weird West tales generally fall into the broad categories of horror, scifi and fantasy. ![]() What genre mashups make up the Weird West? Recently however, more writers and creators are embracing Weird West fiction and bringing a breadth of fresh perspectives. Landsale and Stephen King have both made indelible marks early in this genre.ĭespite the success of many of these tales, the Weird West has been a relatively unknown genre. Since, Weird West stories have appeared in popular culture in graphic novels, movies, TV shows and games, such as Deadlands, BraveStarr, The Goodbye Family, The Wild Wild West, Preacher Jonah Hex, Cowboys & Aliens and Doomtown. The term “Weird West” emerged in popular culture around the 1970s, when DC’s Weird Western Tales debuted. Where did the concept of the Weird West come from? In Weird Westerns, the supernatural emerges from the shadows and steps into the spotlight in the form of monsters, zombies and sorcerers.” Senior Librarian Tara Bannon Williamson in “ Wanted, Dead or Alive or Undead: The Weird Wild West“ Mystic forces have long lurked in the background of Westerns, often embodied by nature or native forces American tall tales and legends demonstrate this with their larger than life and otherworldly characters. “Set in the American West, or in a similar off-world environment, and written in the gritty yet descriptive language characteristic of the Western genre, what sets the Weird Western apart is the presence of supernatural and often mythic elements or forces. Stories of werewolves, demons, zombies, ghosts, aliens, magic and otherworldly elements seem right at home amidst wild mountains, endless desert and a vast, unforgiving landscape. It has been around as long as the “old west” aesthetic itself. Simply put, the Weird West genre mashes western elements with other genres ranging from horror, scifi and fantasy. Both readers and writers can tap into fresh perspectives and fantastical elements in a Old West that never fails to, in equal parts, inspire and terrify. Rather than another story romanticizing Wyatt Earp or the Lone Ranger (as fun as those can be), the Weird West offers a new frontier of exploration. In the deluge of today’s reboots and retellings, audiences hunger for original stories. The scene is all too familiar in old western stories, along with iconic characters ranging from outlaws, gunslingers and law-keepers.įor better or worse, the stoic cowboy hero archetype helped set the foundation for some of today’s superheroes and modern American fiction.īut the Weird West genre offers a fresh take on the iconic-and sometimes overused-imagery and caricatures of the Old West.

This prototype was discovered by a group of fans called Sega Extreme in the summer of 2000. Sonic the Hedgehog CD prototype 510, referred to as CD Sonic the Hedgehog on the title screen, is among the first prototypes of the game Sonic the Hedgehog CD for Sega CD. The Sonic CD 510 Beta has many differences that were seen in early screens, with changes in the graphic details, removed level sections and unused monitors (S and Gem monitors that transform Sonic into Super Sonic and a Timer monitor that would have stopped or slow down the time). It seems that various Sonic CD Betas were leaked online, as the ones labeled 510, 712 and 920. A couple of removed Levels were know as R2 and Final Fever. Rumors also had it that Tails was going to be in the game but it was later removed. The UFO was originally a baloon which Sonic would have to pop.Various unused sprites can also be found in the game’s code. In the beta version of the Special Stages, the background had a large mountainside and planet instead of the usual dark space. Īn early version of one of the bosses in the game had pinchers instead of bumpers on its hands. However, during development, Sonic CD evolved into a vastly different type of game. Initially, as revealed in interviews and magazine clippings, Sonic CD, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System and Game Gear were supposed to be the same game. Meanwhile in Japan, Sonic CD (or at this point, “CD Sonic” as it was first known) was handled by a separate development team, headed by Sonic creator Naoto Ohshima. With half of Sonic Team and two of its most important creators present, the Sega Technical Institute eventually got the job to develop Sonic the Hedgehog 2. ![]() ![]() Incidentally, a large number of the original design team of Sonic also left for the U.S., to help instruct the American developers.
