Within days, the full game will be out and millions of new people will be exposed to Spore. In each case-except for a few who didn't manage to finish their creations-they've presented a YouTube video of their work so that you can see not only what it looks like but also how it moves, and in many cases, what smaller versions of it look like. Some of them clearly put thought into their creations, and the results are often rather impressive. Regardless, it's nice to see the participation by some of these very well-known and respected people. Rock star Carlos Santana got in on the act, as well, with this creature, called Batuka.Īnd those at the bottom of the list-whether because people just weren't interested in their creations or perhaps because the interface for this project is a little bit unwieldy-got just hundreds of views. Yet, Lee's creature, a tall, upright, drink of water with four arms and four legs got about a 10th the number of views as DeFranco's. And certainly, you would think that someone like Stan Lee would get a ton of views, just because of who he is. His creature is very well conceived, to be sure, a refined red beast with a large mouth and intimidating horns.īut others on the list made very nice creatures as well. It's hard to tell why that would be the case. As of when I looked at it, it had gotten 134,961 views and 112,922 "likes." It seems that the various celebrities and their Spore creatures are sorted by the number of times people have viewed them, and it's not clear whether they were presented in this order or whether they self-sort by the number of times they've been looked at.Īnother popular creature is this one, by video game blog Kotaku editor Brian Crecente.Įither way, the most "liked," and viewed, creature is known as DeFranco, by Philip DeFranco, the host of the online hit, the Philip DeFranco Show. In each case, fans can see the celebrity's creation, how many times others have looked at it (on YouTube, where they can rate it), and how many people have "liked" it. It was made by online TV show personality Philip DeFranco.Īmong the well-known and maybe not quite so well-known among the group recruited by EA are Spider Man and X-Men co-creator Stan Lee "I Kissed a Girl" pop star Katy Perry Carlos Santana baseball pitcher Curt Schilling actor Elijah Wood Digg founder Kevin Rose TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington Spore creator Will Wright himself video game blog Kotaku editor Brian Crecente film director David Lynch Virgin Group mogul Richard Branson celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse Laughing Squid photographer and blogger Scott Beale Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, and many others. This creature-and a couple of little versions of itself-is the most viewed of the dozens created in the promotion. In less than a week, Electronic Arts' hotly anticipated evolution game will launch, most likely to large initial sales and significant excitement.īut since June, fans of the game-which was first announced and has been the talk of the video games industry since 2005-have been able to play with the Spore Creature Creator, a free, downloadable editor, that allows anyone to craft their own creature and upload it to what is known as Sporepedia, a vast, sharable, database of millions of other people's creations.Īnd on Tuesday, EA said that it had lured dozens of "creative celebrities" into making creatures, each of which is now viewable online in a bit of a fan-voting popularity contest. It seems everyone is getting in on the Spore fun these days.

"camera stopped working completely, said to see dealer on screen. "I WOULD GLADLY TRADE THE GAP SENSOR FOR A FRONT PARKING SENSOR! FRONT COLISION ALARM WORKS ONLY FOR TURNING TRAFFIC!" Super pissed off that i spent $46,000 on a new fully loaded car and my backup camera isn't working." So I tell people, if a vehicle is coming at us upside down, then it's still coming at us. It stopped working 5 years in, and no longer under warranty. My trusted auto mechanic said only dealer can do this work. Took to dealer, said i need a whole new camera $800 plus install. 90% of the time the image appears upside down on the screen. "It works OK when you first start the vehicle, yet after that, it does not work until the vehicle has been turned off for awhile." It will work for a few seconds and then gives me an error message. Hopefully, I can have the car serviced this summer (2020)." Due to relocation issues, have not been able to get the car in for repair, although when I mentioned it to the service department, they did indicate this could be a costly repair. Does works intermittently, sometimes full screen, sometimes upside down picture, and often the screen is covered in lines. "Back up camera failed around a year ago. Very upsetting FORD! Next compact SUV will either be an Audi or a BMW." I used it everyday when backing into a parking place, so I didn't back into the cement wall. Also, I park in a covered garage at work. We have to because of the way we park in our garage. Of course we always look behind the vehicle before getting in. We have children and the camera gave us a sense of security. I realize this is a convenience kind of item, but once you become dependent on it, it doesn't really seem so. Sometimes the camera stays on for several minutes when we put the Ford Edge in drive. It would throw an error code to go see your dealer. Then the picture was upside down or the screen would go completely black. First he alignment lines stopped showing up. "Backup camera worked great for the first year. I thought it should have lasted longer especially for as little as Zi use this car." Sometimes a black screen, sometimes an upside down view, sometimes no screen at all. When I took it in they just said its old and gets that way" The system performed well in Euro NCAP's tests, with a collision against a stationary car being avoided at almost all test speeds."The camera is very blurry, even though I have cleaned it according to Ford's directions. The Edge has an autonomous emergency braking system that operates at the low speeds, typical of city of driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision and a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection there, too. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib compression indicated a marginal level of protection for the chest. In the side barrier test maximum points were scored, with good protection of all critical parts of the body. However, readings from the rear passenger dummy indicated poor protection of the head and chest, with injury parameters for both body regions exceeding safe limits. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good apart from the chest, protection of which was adequate. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies. The passenger compartment of the Edge remained stable in the offset deformable barrier test.

The main options are whether to use melee combat or ranged combat, which creatures to summon to assist, and the choice of weapons to use. Talking to NPCs is the primary way to initiate and progress main quests and side quests.Ĭombat is real time rather than turn based. The interact/activate button is also used to talk to NPCs that are found on the local maps. Within a local map, movement in and out of buildings and rooms is achieved similarly, by going to the entrance or exit and pressing the interact/activate button or key. Once unlocked they are accessed by going to an exit of the current local map and pressing the interact/activate button. These local maps may require player action to unlock. For example, Houton has the local map itself, plus the local maps of Fairyhaunt Forest, Houton Forest, and the Bugbear's Lair. Within each World Area are one or more local maps. The Bard can travel to other world locations on the strategic Map if there are available world areas that are unlocked (via encounters and quests). The largest unit in the game map is the World Area. For example, Shield Talents require the player acquire a shield of some type. Some Talents require that the player possesses a relevant item in order to be able to make use of the Talent. One Talent can be selected at start, and additional Talent is granted at each odd numbered Level (3,5,7 etc). There are also other Talents available such as finding more loot, or training the Dog companion to attack. These primarily confer new combat abilities such as the ability to use additional weapons, combinations of weapons, or use weapons in additional ways. Rhythm - affects the statistics of summoned creatures - +1% damage and a few % more Health per point of Rhythm.Charisma - affects prices paid for items, in the region of 2% reduction per point.Dexterity - affects ranged combat - +1 damage per point.Vitality - affects health - 5 Health per point of Vitality (plus 10 per Level).Strength - affects melee combat - +1 damage per point.There is only one character class, Bard, and the starting equipment is always the same: Sword, Lute, and Padded Armor. Statistics start at 8, 6, or 4, depending on the Difficulty level selected - Easy, Normal or Old School, respectively. Pre-game, you generate a character by allocating a total of 12 additional points to the 6 Statistics of Strength, Vitality, Luck, Dexterity, Charisma and Rhythm, and by picking one Talent. Some objects and map features may even go unoticed unless one knows exactly what they are looking for.Ĭutscenes are animated in a more 3D style. The game features a "birds eye view" camera setting that resembles old arcade style games, while this is useful for battling the large groups of enemies that attack The Bard regularly, it does not always suit the three dimensional style of the game very well. Unfortunately for him, destiny has other plans, so he becomes a reluctant hero who explores the islands in order to face (though not necessarily fight) the evil that is bothering the land. The sole aim of this anti-hero is to drink alcohol, frolic around with women and generally have a good time - seeking "coin, cleavage and carnage". The original Bard's Tale 1-3 titles are also bundled with this release.Ī nameless character called The Bard arrives at Houton, a village in a mythical version of the Orkney Islands. The release is subtitled "Remastered and Resnarkled". This version includes in-app purchases by which in-game items and advances, and media content (cutscenes, concept art, etc) can be purchased for real world money. This edition is also available on consoles including XBoxOne and Playstation (PS2, PS4).

Ubisoft seems to have been InXile's partner for distribution in Europe. It is an action-adventure with lots of humour. Apart from the name, the game has little to do with the old RPG saga. In 2004, a new "The Bard's Tale" was published by InXile for X-Box and PS2. Her husband was deposed as king of Sweden the following year. Isabella served as the regent of Denmark during Christian's stay in Sweden. She was to be the last Queen of Sweden who was also Queen of Denmark during the, but she in fact never visited Sweden pregnant at the time of her spouse's accession to the throne of Sweden, she did not follow him there.

From 1516, was head of her court.In 1520, Christian took the throne of Sweden, thereby making Isabella Queen of Sweden. This angered the Emperor, and caused some diplomatic strife between him and King Christian, but the matter was resolved when Dyveke died in 1517, and Isabella's relationship with her husband improved vastly over the next few years her relationship with Sigbrit Willoms improved as well, and both women acted as political advisors to the king.

Some teachers/counselors are better recommendation writers than others. Don’t penalize a student for what is not said. Do not penalize a student whose recommender’s writing style is not strong. Watch for recommenders who use the same basic text for every student for whom they write, or who write inappropriate comments. Watch out for the “halo effect,” where a parent or other relative of the applicant may be on staff at the same or another school or be a VIP in that community. Do they corroborate or contradict one another? Note if there is consistency among the recommenders. For many of our private school applicants, hyperbole can be more the rule than the exception guard against over-rating such comments. “In general, our candidates receive good, solid support. (PSA: The rubric is about 15 years old, but Martin thinks it can still shed some insight on the evaluation process.) Here’s a rubric and some instructions admissions representatives used to follow to assess recommendation letters for students (courtesy of Martin Walsh). Well, your letter may get a sort of grade that will (hopefully) bump your student up in points. Yes! (To the first question) Your letter will be read and rated, sometimes by multiple admissions reps at each school. Special circumstances beyond the classroom that impact the studentīut does anyone actually read my recommendation letter? (Or am I just shouting into the dark, dark void?) The student’s abilities in context, over time-how do they fit within the school’s overall demographics, curriculum, test scores? On the other hand, a counselor’s letter should describe: The student’s personality, work ethic and social conduct The impact this student has on the classroom Teachers, according to Martin Walsh (former assistant dean of admission at Stanford) and a presentation co-led by Sara Urquidez (executive director of Academic Success Program), your recommendation letter should describe: If you’ve ever seen or written a counselor recommendation letter, you’ll notice some similarities.īut know this: While the format for these two letters of recommendation may be very much the same, the content should differ. All told, they’re kind of a big deal.Īs teachers, you provide a key source of information about something that test scores and transcripts can’t-your student’s role in the classroom. Our buddy Chris Reeves, a member of NACAC’s board of directors, has another way to read this table: “If you consider ‘considerable importance’ AND ‘moderate importance,’ the teacher letter is also more important than demonstrated interest.”īasically, if it comes down to your student and another candidate-all else being equal-your recommendation letter can get your student in or keep them out.Īnd, according to a presentation co-led by our friend Sara Urquidez at a 2017 AP conference, rec letters can also help decide who gets scholarships and who gets into honors programs.
