Both FEAR and Halo enemy AI is pretty good. I have to give the win to FEAR though but that's because the level design and the AI designer worked together. The AI in Halo has good movement and tactics that they'll use against you. However in FEAR they will use aspects of the environment semi-unscripted. They will pull down book cases to use for cover and crawl through low hanging areas to try and get the flank on you.
I like that particular remake :(
Calling it Xbox 360 graphics is quite the compliment if you know how old the original Deus Ex is .
Anyways the true terror if the seeing the remake Deus Ex compared to a high rez fan mod is look at character models. Seeing the security robot in that picture isn't bad but the characters is where it's really a ugly fest.
You could also watch the anime movies too lol. They don't really emphasize on the science fiction aspects the books have. You see clues of it though, like D having a cyborg horse and characters running around with laser rifles.
Pretty much. They're available on Audible.
I'm going through the Vampire Hunter D audiobooks. They are AWESOME!
I love the idea the vampire lords are so old that they have gathered the knowledge of science and technology to the point they are able to travel to space. All the creatures of mythology like werewolves and dragons are just the results of their genetic meddling. It's been this awesome mix of sci-fi, fantasy and Western....and all this from a Japanese author.
BORING!!!!!
The art looks borderline AI, and it also copies a more cartoon look like it's Steven Universe or something. Practically zero genuine shading, and a lot of flat colors. Good job having so many characters in one picture I guess.
Me and my mother don't talk about movies all that much but that film cracks her up, so I have a little fondness for that movie.
It's so juvenile isn't it? There is one little art piece out of countless others that makes it ambiguous, so there fore SHE MUST BLACK!
Didn't this start because of one particular panel in the old TMNT comics? Didn't even the creators confirm that April was not black?
Do any long lasting characters have son's?
Last I can think of is Luke Skywalker back when Star Wars was good with Ben Skywalker.
I don't know what's in season and a weird part of me doesn't care. However.....
I finally finished Thunderbolt Fantasy. Yes I call it a anime because puppetry is a form of animation, and it's from Japan. However it was just a visual delight, the characters were really fun too, I never imagined seeing so much action and motion in a show that uses PUPPETS!
I am going to try and finish watching Golden Kamui, I enjoy it and the outrageous rogues gallery it has but I must of missed a few details because there are some characters I don't know and events happened that went over my head.
After all these years I finally finished Macross Frontier, and I heard some things about Macross Delta that got my attention so I'll give it a chance.
I'm aching for more mech anime though, maybe I'll see 88 but at the same time I kind of don't want to see that one? Maybe I'll finally finish watching Victory Gundam, lol.
What sucks is that corporate cigar smokers will think people don't want a stealth action adventure game in Fedual Japan and we won't see more content like that for a long time.
Currently, it's a case of.. everything that has ever been bad is because of conservative/right wing, but everything that has changed and that is good is liberal/left wing.
Either way, modern wacko liberals of the now are acting like the wacky conservatives of the 90s. They want to censor and inject political corrections into everything, then inject acting like what was said or done is awful so they can assert dominance and control. Congrats, they're acting like their parents.
You have got to be fucken kidding me.
I'm only interested in BO7 because it's about Mason kid who's a Navy Seal. BO2 was my favorite Call of Duty campaign and I hope the weapon selection and branching story paths are still a thing.
Probably not but I can hope.
So if the trailer was just the last 15 minutes that enough tells me it's a boring movie. A boring movie is worse than a bad or good movie.
So female samurai were a thing, the old lady in the first game is the best example, they were all about protecting the house/family, protecting honor, and basically serving a lord.
We don't see too many "hero" female samurai in these kind of stories or games, they're all just psychos with a really fancy machete.
The more I have been playing (Tsushima that is), the more it seems to that Jin is the man that's trying to keep the world anchored and sane while every other character is falling apart into despair and madness. I guess my opinion might change in the third act but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
This is weird. Am I watching comedy? In this year? I thought that was a dead art.
So the guy had to reach so low for material, that he had to go for a scrotum joke?
You should care in what job you're going to. Being a younger person gives you a advantage with landing in a job or field you genuinely want to be in. I've seen too many people not be happy with just letting the military place you in wherever. I can't speak for the other branches but the USAF has a program called the DEP (Delayed Entry Program). Where is the positions you want isn't available yet, you just wait longer, you still have to make sure you are healthy and fit for the job (such a terrible thing right? Lol). Some DEP trainees had to wait more than year to get the job they want. You still have the make ends meet in between, the military isn't going to help you out yet.
Your Dad sounds like he might of been in Knowledge Operations, those would be my coworkers depending on the squadron/unit. Their job mainly was to build websites or share point sites to fit the needs of the various other squadrons at the base. Those access portals that you would use had to come from somewhere. They also handled some degree of access management for users on various programs but I don't know which.
Glad to hear you took the ASVAB. Anyways my branch is Air Force. I originally wanted to have a military career but until after college. That part didn't work out with the college. There was a lot of tech based jobs and electrical jobs I wanted to do but the availability wasn't there and cut off date for my age was getting close, 28 years at the time, I think it changed to 34. So because the date was getting close I rushed to pick the first set of jobs available, one was aircraft mechanic, another security forces, and the last was like a fuel administrator job. I forgot the name of the specific fuel job and "fuel administrator" might sound silly, but keep in mind the Air Forces overall mission is getting aircraft moving and in the air. Almost everything done in the USAF is about ensuring aircraft and their crew accomplish their missions.
Anyways my dumb and urgent self decided to go and be a aircraft mechanic, I'm not a very big person and I'm not very well mechanically inclined. I got to work on a few different types of C-130s while stationed in Japan. Most of the time the job was a 9 hour shift, but aircraft have 24 hour service nonstop, sometimes the shifts would be changed to 12 hour shifts just to complete aircraft generation or ready to fly status. Afterward my shift, I was pretty much welcome to do whatever I want to do, as long as I would be back by curfew time per Japanese mandates and be on time for my shift. I'm not much of a party guy or spend too much time going out, I do a lot of gaming. Being a mechanic was not for me. I'm glad I had the experience and the friends I had but I wasn't going to stay as a mechanic. The job was stressing me out, and getting me depressed. I do admire the very high standards military mechanics have and their can do attitude they have for their aircraft but I couldn't keep up.
So I retained, some call it cross training. It wasn't easy because you have a limited window in which you can get all of your retraining requirements addressed and being overseas makes it harder, as there are two timing windows you have to align. You also have to have a certain amount of retainability. The military doesn't want you to change your job, do all that training and then you just leave a few months later. So I extended my contact for about two more years, this is different that a reenlistment. I got retrained in Information Technology (IT). Probably one of the best decisions I've made, I love doing tech support, it's fun for me. I use to work at a tech support call center and compared to working there and working with military clients, the military clients are a lot more patient, respectful, but maybe a little needy, because from the lowest Airmen to General's, they need their computers up and running. Air Force also have high standards for their networks so it's interesting to work within those requirements. Working in IT has also given me opportunities to be stationed at more bases than just regulated to a set amount of bases determined by the aircraft I work on. I can also be put in positions like combat communications where you're setting up network infrastructure in remote areas.
The Air Force does have the more relaxed physical standards than most other branches, because you're hired for your technical skills than grunt work. If you're in a job that does require more physical demands like Security Forces or Special Warfare, then you have to maintain higher physical goals. Otherwise the rest is up to you and how you want your physical health to be, just pass that PT test.
Sorry to hear about the experience you had with the recruiter. That shouldn't be the conduct they should be having. There is a part of me that thinks it was a RAP (recruiter assistant program) member and not the recruiter themselves. Doing RAP is a nice way to take some extra leave and not have it use up your leave days for a little bit of work, but I wouldn't be surprised if some RAP members act like they don't want to be there. At the time I visited my recruiter the first time they said I probably couldn't join because I had metal plates in my arm. It was some three stripe airman, he didn't know, in hindsight I should of waited to talk to the NCO (four stripes or more aka a E5) there to get my recruitment started sooner. I have never heard of a E4/three stripe recruiter before.
As far as the DEI stuff that might on your mind, I have met more people that care about doing their job well than having to worship a politically driven mandate. The military takes in people that can fit their standards and fits them into the needed positions. We get just as many talks about sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct as any corporate job that's been going for decades now. I will say that the military is very big on resiliency, basically being able to cope with stress. The military has had too many sad stories of people harming themselves. I lost a friend to that, it was extra painful seeing my other friend loosing his mind for a little while because of what happened, he got better at least.
I don't have autism but I have my share of anxiety (and major depression)and had to go through tons of learning disability classes during my time in school. If I can make it, because I wanted it, you can too. I don't want to act like a recruiter but I'd gladly share my experience if you have any questions.
After going through the book, I'd say first movie was rough but I appreciate it more. It nailed the pacing very well but just could not hit some of the deeper science fiction concepts, just not enough time for a movie. The first book is so friggen cool .
