The worst part of this review, as it stands, is that it is one my favorite fighting games. Oh one more thing.currently the online matchmaking does not work, at least for me. Still it is fun, when it works, and at $40 it is priced reasonably so pick it up if you don't already have a previous version. So there are problems with the game, whether its the controls, the crashes or game freezes it is in dire need of an update patch asap. ![]() I know there are problems with the game crashing but in all honesty, I haven't had this problem (I rarely play online, that seems to be were the most problems start) but I have noticed the game will freeze up at times, also some of the challenges (in the training section) were automatically completed without me doing anything, and finally I've had issues with the controls (again this was in the training section) where I just mash buttons rapidly and regardless of the on screen prompts-I got a success and completion of the challenge. The game is fast and furious and very fun but I can't see much difference graphically between the older PS3 version and The Xbox One version. The game is fast and If you have DOA5 on the last gen systems, there really is no need to buy this, just upgrade the version you already have.

![]() The big prize in the LEGO Lonely Mountain 79018 set is beyond a shadow of a doubt the LEGO Smaug dragon! We’ve had to wait almost a full additional year to get our grubby mitts on a LEGO Smaug the Dragon toy, but he’s finally ready to dive-bomb in and fire-breath on our minifigures! won’t even allow images of the other 2014 LEGO The Hobbit sets circulate until October 2014, whereas the LEGO Lonely Mountain set will likely be in stores before we can see photos of the other set at all. While LEGO 79018 The Lonely Mountain is bearing the “The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies” logo on the box, the set itself is clearly based off of scenes from last year’s “The Desolation of Smaug” and not this year’s film. ![]() And now, the set that many Hobbit fans have been waiting for will be arriving earlier than we expected–in mid-October 2014! While LEGO hasn’t officially stated that this will be the only LEGO The Hobbit set released in 10/2014, I’m reasonably confident that it will be. ![]() More street-oriented or “gangsta” acts may have gained notoriety and respect (and infamy) but they weren’t exactly expected to dominate the radio or sell several million units. Biggie’s approach would prove to be wildly successful and hugely influential on how New York rappers would approach the mainstream in the post-Death Row Records landscape.īefore the success of Death Row, hip-hop’s most mainstream, crossover-friendly artists tended to be pop-rap superstars like Salt-N-Pepa and Heavy D. That development was significant, even as the East Coast’s latest wave of emcees were coming to the forefront. ![]() The first verse would become as ubiquitous as any in hip-hop, and it made The Notorious B.I.G. The classic breakthrough single was a fixture on MTV and BET in the late summer of 1994, with its Mtume sample (and uncredited production assist from superproducer Pete Rock) carrying Biggie’s semi-autobiographical rags-to-riches tale. “Juicy” would be a major success for Bad Boy and for Biggie. to Have Brooklyn Street Named After Himīiggie would definitely blow up. “When Puff tells me he’s selling this amount of records a week, I’m like, ‘Is that good?’ All I know is Gold and Platinum,” Biggie told Interview magazine in 1994 after his career was heating up. Vernon’s Craig Mack, but it would soon become apparent that Puff saw Big as the label’s cornerstone. Big was looking to get back to the streets, but Puff’s ambitions were set towards launching his own label, Bad Boy Entertainment. “And it had a lot of personality - like a light on his feet kind of big brother.” But Uptown dropped Biggie after Combs was fired, setting the rapper’s career in limbo. “He had a voice that just sounded like it was heavy, funky and rhythmic,” Harrell would tell the New York Times in 1994, just after Ready To Die went Gold. Uptown CEO Andre Harrell was immediately impressed with B.I.G. The MC would land some noteworthy early guest appearances on tracks by artists like Super Cat ( “Dolly My Baby”) and Heavy D ( “A Buncha N-as”), working closely with Combs at Uptown Records. From there, word got to upstart mogul-in-the-making Sean “Puffy” Combs about the gifted lyricist from Brooklyn. The story is well-known: Big Daddy Kane’s DJ Mister Cee heard Biggie on a tape and invited the burgeoning rapper to a showcase for The Source. ![]() Is a Real Simulator too expensive?

ROM carts were much faster than the 2× CD-ROM drives in other consoles that developers could stream data in real-time from them. ![]() This can be observed from the loading screens that appear in many PlayStation games but are typically non-existent in N64 versions. Primarily cited was the ROM cartridges' very fast load times in comparison to disc-based games, as contemporary CD-ROM drives rarely had speeds above 4×. Nintendo cited several advantages for making the N64 cartridge-based. Much of this success was credited to Nintendo's strong first-party franchises, such as Mario, which had strong name brand appeal. ĭespite the difficulties with third-parties, the N64 still managed to support popular games such as GoldenEye 007, giving it a long shelf-life. Most of the N64's biggest successes were developed by either Nintendo itself or by second-parties of Nintendo, such as Rare. New Nintendo 64 game releases were infrequent while new games were coming out rapidly for the PlayStation. Konami was the biggest example of this, releasing only thirteen N64 games but over fifty on the PlayStation. ![]() Most third-party developers switched to the PlayStation, such as Square and Enix, whose Final Fantasy VII and Dragon Quest VII were initially pre-planned for the N64, while some who remained released fewer games to the Nintendo 64. Especially for the latter, it was costly and difficult to develop for ROM cartridges, as their limited storage capacity (64 MB or a mere 9% of a Compact Disc 700 MB capacity) constrained the game's content. Most of the cartridge's advantages did not manifest themselves prominently and they were nullified by the cartridge's shortcomings, which disappointed customers and developers alike. The selection of the cartridge for the Nintendo 64 was a controversial decision and a key factor in Nintendo's being unable to retain its dominant position in the gaming market. ![]() Then click Accept on the licence screen that follows, and then the tool will check for updates, which will take a few minutes. ![]() If you don't want to have data about your Windows set-up collected, untick that box.

Other special effects include split-screen, soft focus and sepia tone. You also can superimpose pictures and other graphics, perhaps to show a product package while other action is taking place onscreen. With most editing programs, this can be accomplished by adding a text layer to the video at certain points, typically the beginning and end of the video. For example, most businesses want to add their website URL or toll-free phone number to the video, which you can do by superimposing that text onscreen.

I was never a fan of it and find the Arctis 1 more comfortable than the Arctis Pro + GameDAC that includes the elastic band. The elastic band that some SteelSeries headsets come with is absent, and I’m fine with that. It’s the first headset I can recall in recent years that’s too big for me if I fully extend the headband. ![]() Everyone wants a headset to fit well, but I’m often passing on quality options because they don’t fit my head while fully extended. One of the major factors in my choice of headset comes down to how it fits. Users should be ready to go in about five minutes, if not less. Overall, the setup wasn’t as simple as the Sennheiser GSP 370 wireless gaming headset, but it wasn’t bad. The SteelSeries Engine 3 software was already installed thanks to my SteelSeries Apex Pro mechanical keyboard review, which streamlined the process a bit. This also required the SteelSeries Engine 3 software, so that appears to be mandatory. ![]() Next, the headset needed to be connected to the PC through a second USB port in order to pair the headset with the wireless adapter. The setup for the Arctis 1 involved first connecting the transmitter to the adapter cable, then plugging it into a USB port on my PC. The transmitter itself won’t fit into a standard USB port on a PC, so the adapter is required. That means Discord tested it and believes it’s a good headset for use with their app, essentially.īeing I’m a PC gamer, my first dip in the Arctis 1 pool saw me use the wireless transmitter and adapter cable to test the headset in its truest form, wireless. ![]() ![]() There’s also a detachable mic that is apparently Discord certified. Opening the Arctis 1 package, gamers will be met with the headset itself, a USB-C wireless transmitter, a USB-A adapter cable, and a 3.5mm audio cable for those that don’t need to take advantage of wireless capability while PC gaming or prefer Xbox One. Today, I’ll be looking at the SteelSeries Arctis 1, a wireless gaming headset that boasts multi-platform compatibility as its main selling point. Recently, this journey has taken me through stops with Razer, Sennheiser, and SteelSeries.
