A hugh patch on the Activision web page fixed this. (I have graphics and screen res set to default settings on a Dell Dimension E521 with duel-core processors and an N-Videa G-Force graphics card) After multiple saves in the course of the game, it eventually would not load. Also, when there is a lot going on, my gameplay got slow and clunky. I think that many players would give up on the game due to the difficulty in some areas so if you are considering buying this game, you might want to set it to easy. He is no help when the bad guys butt in so beware. Very often, you are assigned to protect a specialist who is with you. I noticed that if you have some commrades with you when entering a new area, you are usually best off to let them handle most of a shootout and then proceed. (thank God for quik saves) Lots of eye-candy throughout. Theres a decent balance of health and weapons throughout although some additional health would have helped in many areas. The game sets you up with a series of missions, some easy some rather difficult. Anyway, in the single player mode, its you and a few commrades battling through enemy strogg territory. It probably features mods, maps, cut-scenes etc. It also comes with a bonus disk that I could NOT get to run even though I have a valid cd code. This review covers "Quake 4 - DVD Edition" and features single player and multiplayer. I had been away from the Quake PC games for awhile but recently bought a beefed-up computer and decided to revisit one of my favorite titles. Experience some of the most enjoyable multiplayer gaming there is with Quake 4: Special DVD Edition, and play through the Quake universe as Kane, Bitterman, Joker, and Stepchild. With plenty of content and videos for Quake series and first-person shooter fans to enjoy, this special edition of the game has plenty of replay value. In Ground Zero, which features weapons such as the chainsaw, explosive-tipped flechette rifle, tesla mine, and plasma beam, players are tasked with destroying the gravity well technology that has Earth’s fleets trapped. In The Reckoning, players assume the role of Joker, an elite Marine on a mission to gain access to the Strogg-controlled Moon Base. Each also expands upon the story of Quake II’s original release. Each of these features a wealth of new content, from single-player levels to death match arenas as well as new weapons, power-ups, enemies, and even music. The two expansion packs included on Quake 4: Special DVD Edition are the Quake II Mission Pack: The Reckoning and Quake II Mission Pack: Ground Zero. These include a male or female Marine and a male cyborg. ![]() Quake II’s legendary multiplayer game features a range of arenas based on the campaign environments and a choice of player characters. In Quake II, players can enjoy another sci-fi single-player campaign against the Strogg, cast in the role of the Marine, Bitterman, a lone survivor of a failed offensive on the Strogg’s home planet. Representing a larger capacity than comparable games, Quake 4 allows up to 16 players at a time in multiplayer mode. Players can discover some other ways to interact with the map to gain an advantage with further options, including bouncing grenades against jump pads and gaining extra height by leaping from the top of ramps and other objects on a slant. Unlike previous games, an enhanced physics engine in Quake 4 allows players to fire weapons through teleporters to place strategic shots against remote enemies. ![]() Also included are fan favorite maneuvers like strafe and rocket jumping, designed to optimize the fun and dynamism of the gameplay. The multiplayer mode, for which the Quake video game series is best known, features all the fan favorite modes, including Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Tourney, ArenaCTF, and DeadZone. In addition to its engaging campaign play in the role of Kane, the game has been widely praised for its cinematic visuals, voice acting, and soundtrack. As Matthew Kane, players take part in an attack on the aliens’ home world of Stroggos and a bid to try to end the war. ![]() Set in the middle of the 21st century, Quake 4 for the PC is based around a counter-attack against the barbaric Strogg, who have been at war with Earth with the nefarious goal of harvesting the dead to expand their own ranks of their interplanetary cyborg zombie army. Packaged in a striking special edition box set, the game is also a must-have for Quake collectors. Comprising the full Quake II game for the PC along with two expansion packs, a Making of Quake 4: Behind the Scenes feature, developer interviews with id Software and Raven Software, and concept and production art, the Quake 4: Special DVD Edition is great for fans of the franchise and PC gamers in general. ![]()

This prefix shows up a lot in UNIX and C-based programming languages (like Arduino!).Ĭolor references in HTML and image editting programs. ![]() Am I channelling my inner Sam Elliott ( McConaughey?), or expressing my hunger for the decimal number 48879? To avoid confusing situations like that, you'll usually see a hexadecimal number prefixed (or suffixed) with one of these identifiers: Identifier Once you've reached F 16, just as you would roll from 9 10 to 10 10 in decimal, you roll up to 10 16: DecimalĪnd once you've reached 1F 16, roll up to 20 16 and keep churning the right-most digit from 0 to F. Once a digit place becomes greater than "F", you roll that place over to "0", and increment the digit to the left by 1. Counting in HexĬounting in hex is a lot like counting in decimal, except there are six more digits to deal with. ![]() Subscripts are just the most literal system we can use. Hexadecimal 10, indicated by a subscript 16, is equivalent to decimal 16 (notice the subscript 10).Īs you'll see further down, subscripts aren't the only way to explicitly state the base of a number. Remember long division? Remainders? Quotients? Products? Sums? Exponents? Those all come back to haunt you when you're learning about hexadecimal and its relationship to decimal.īeyond brushing up on your arithmetic, we'd recommend reading through our binary tutorial before (or along-side) this. You should know a thing or two about decimal numbers before delving into this tutorial. Conversion Calculators - Here you'll find a simple, automatic calculator to switch between hex, binary, and decimal.Converting To/From Binary - This page shows how you can convert between binary and hex.Converting To/From Decimal - This page covers our preferred methods of converting between hex and decimal.This page covers the 16 digits of hex, how we represent hex numbers, and how to count in hex. This tutorial covers everything hex-related that you might encounter in electronics or programming. It's important to understand how hex works, because, in many cases, it makes more sense to represent a number in base 16 than with binary or decimal. Hex, along with decimal and binary, is one of the most commonly encountered numeral systems in the world of electronics and programming. The base 2, binary, system uses just two digit values (0 and 1) to represent numbers. Binary (base 2) is also popular in the engineering world, because it's the language of computers. There are many (infinite!) other numeral systems out there. Hex uses the standard 0-9, but it also incorporates six digits you wouldn't usually expect to see creating numbers: A, B, C, D, E, and F. It just so happens that hex uses a set of 16 unique digits. Hex, like decimal, combines a set of digits to create large numbers. Decimal is a base 10 number system (perfect for beings with 10 fingers), and it uses a collection of 10 unique digits, which can be combined to positionally represent numbers. In that way it's no different than the most famous of numeral systems (the one we use every day): decimal. Hexadecimal - also known as hex or base 16 - is a system we can use to write and share numerical values. Once you understand hex, the next step is decoding the matrix! ![]() ![]() ![]() "Good morning, children," he says, and "Good morning, papa," the children reply in unison.Īs the camera moves down a creepy tiled corridor outside the hall, with doors spread out like in a prison or an asylum, the man tells the kids "I have something very special planned for you today", and as they cheer him on, the camera stops and zooms in on a door labelled '11'. The scene goes on, till a man walks through the door, into the hall of the playing kids, kids that refer to him as 'papa'.

Have them create a revised list of rules or criteria for different categories.Īfter they have created a new list, have students create a flow chart which will allow them to name compounds. Have students perform a gallery walk, where they walk around and look at other groups posters. Say “On your poster, include the criteria or rule used to place compounds into each group.” no roman numeral or suffix of anion, such as “ate, ite, ide” etc.Īfter the groups have organized their cards and you have met with the group to discuss their organization, have them glue them to a large piece of paper or poster board in their groups. For example, “Why did you put this compound in this group?” Some examples of how students may choose to group compounds are based on roman numeral vs. Monitor and observe the groups working, asking questions as to why and how they decided on the groups. Students just need to create the criteria or rules to explain the groupings).Īllow students time to organize their cards. Be prepared to explain/defend your groupings.” (For ELL or special education students, who may need additional help, the cards can already be placed in groups based on teacher criteria and Provide and /or read the following instructions: “Arrange the cards into groups according to their formula or names. Finally by creating a teaching brochure or poster, students are developing a deeper understanding. The initial sorting and creating rules is teacher-facilitated, moving to more independent applications of naming compounds on their own. ![]() Provide an additional challenge by not providing the names of compounds on the cards, but rather providing the cards with the formulas and a list of names separately. Higher-level students can work more independently. Students who need additional help can be provided with more assistance, have the cards pre-sorted/organized, and be provided with a skeleton flow chart. They can self-evaluate using the rubric provided, as well as comparing flow-charts with other Students will express their understandings through their rules/criteria/flow-charts as well as their teaching brochure/poster. When students are asked to review other groups’ rules/criteria and create a flow chart, then use that flow chart to name compounds, students will be reflecting, revisiting, revising and rethinking the rules/criteria that they have used. ![]() Scaffolding can provide success for all students. By having students practice what they have learned, the understandings will be more lasting. Providing everyday items as examples will give students a context and purpose for this lesson. By working in small groups and providing real world examples, students will be To engage students at the beginning of the lesson, have students do a think-pair-share: “Why is a name important? What does your first name tell about you? What does your last name tell about you? How is a chemicals’ name important? What would happen if scientists did not have a consistent method of naming compounds?” Throughout the lesson, encourage the students as they are working and ask questions to keep them moving towards the goal. By providing rubrics ahead of time, students will understand how they will be evaluated. ![]() The teacher can provide examples of everyday items that use IUPAC names in their ingredients (for example, sodium fluoride in toothpaste, etc.) to show the importance of naming compounds. The essential questions and objectives let students know that the goal is to be able to name compounds. Inquiry-based learning, Gallery Walk, small-group learning The rats then throng all over his body ravenously gnawing at the bandages. Using his left hand, he takes what spicy food he is able to rescue from the rats and smears it all over the bandages that bind him. With all of "the keen, collected calmness of despair," he conceives of a plan. It seems as though it is days before the pendulum comes so close to him that the "odor of the sharp steel forced itself into my nostrils," but eventually it does, and when the pendulum vibrates within only three inches of his breast, he calmly reasons that the pendulum will cut his bandages before it will cut him. Now he "can no longer doubt the doom prepared for by monkish ingenuity in torture." The sweep of "the pendulum was at right angles was designed to cross the region of the heart." The vault and the bottomless pit are just as horrible as the very pit of hell itself might be. After watching the rats for about thirty minutes, he again looks at the pendulum and is horrified to realize that the sweep has increased considerably and even more disturbing, it has descended. Turning to survey the rest of the vault, he sees enormous rats running across the slimy floor. He is bound to a "species of low framework of wood." Looking upward, he sees a huge razor-sharp pendulum swinging in an arch, criss-crossing his body. But to his horror, he is now completely bound head and foot, except for his left hand up to his left elbow. He knows that he is in the same place because of the horrible, dismal circular pit. ![]() Logically, he tries to determine how he originally made such an error. After drinking deeply, he realizes that the water must have been drugged since he immediately loses consciousness again, and later, when he is again awake, there is a sulfurous light which reveals that the walls are one-half their original size. A few steps more and he would have fallen to a horrible death.Īrousing from a sleep, he finds by his side a loaf of bread and a pitcher of water. His body hits the floor and he discovers that his head lies on the perimeter of a seemingly bottomless, circular pit. He then begins to traverse the vault, but he slips on the slimy floor and falls. The floors are covered with slime, but carefully feeling his way around, he calculates that the vault is about fifty feet wide. After feeling around, he determines that it is in the shape of a vault. ![]() Since he has heard so much about the horrors of the dungeons, he is certain that he is in one of those dungeons. ![]() He knows that he is condemned to death but the method and the time for his execution are unknown to him. This concept often appears in Poe's fiction - that is, a person will be physically dead, but he will still retain the mental ability to know things after the death of the physical body.Īfter many moments of suspense, he investigates his situation. ![]() At last, his worse fears are confirmed: "The blackness of eternal night encompassed me." At first, he wonders if he is dead yet still mentally conscious. After swooning, the narrator awakens in total darkness before opening his eyes, he imagines the horrors that await him. The story begins with the trial of the narrator, as he sits before seven very severe judges he is "sick - sick unto death," because the judges have an "immoveable resolution - of stern contempt of human torture." The narrator is so completely obsessed by the horror of the proceedings that he cannot even hear his sentence as it is being pronounced instead, he recalls all of the horrible tales of "monkish tortures" which awaited the victims of the Inquisition. In "The Pit and the Pendulum," Poe apparently had in mind the effects of unrelieved torture and suspense. As Poe repeatedly maintained in his critical views, the most successful story occurs when the author decides what effect or effects he wants to achieve and then decides what techniques to use to achieve that effect. ![]() It looks like instead of covering my dark circles, I'm putting makeup over a black eye. This, in a way, makes it look worse even though I'm technically covering it up. A lot of the time, when I'm using foundation or concealer under my eyes without color correcting first, you can still see the darkness peeking through whatever base I'm using. Why? Every time I've worn No Filter thus far I haven't color corrected under my eyes, which I always do (with Urban Decay's Color Correcting Fluid in Peach, my ride or die). That's neither here nor there, but I prefer the coverage of ColourPop's to UD's. Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer: Urban Decay's concealer formula is thinner than ColourPop's I've always thought it's almost serum-like. No Filter Concealer's Finish is more natural while Shape Tape gives you a more Barbie doll fantasy finish - BOTH of which I am down for. ![]() Tarte Shape Tape: It's not as pigmented as Shape Tape, but then is anything? It's also easier to blend by far, but Tarte's dense, ultra-pigmented formula is part of Shape Tape's magic. ColourPop's No Filter Concealer is easier to blend and I don't want to say the coverage is better in terms of pigment and all that, but it covered my skin better and stayed where I put it. ![]() It has a luminosity similar to Nars and the coverage isn't far off either. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer: If there's one similar product, it's this, but ColourPop's is in no way a dupe. Compared to a few of my favorite concealers: |
