It’s a game that neatly divides itself into explorable scrolling screens and set-piece situations, (admittedly somewhat lengthy) loading screens acting as markers between chapters. The compulsion to return, again and again, to the trials of these five souls is great indeed.Īnd you really should take a second trip to Edwards Island, to see those trials find a semblance of finality – and what with Oxenfree now on Switch, you can do that anywhere. The resulting atmosphere is thick and sticky, then, and impossible to shake once you’ve set your Switch down to sleep. There’s a worn fuzziness to much of it, like its edges have blurred, its seams frayed but there’s no warmth, even the more bucolic passages undercut by a distinct vein of dread. The work of Andrew Rohrmann, aka scntfc, the Oxenfree OST is a cornucopia of uneasy avant-ambience, constantly getting under the skin of the player and forcing the hairs atop it to stand to attention. Nobody who took the last ferry the night before will return to the mainland quite the same.īut it’s not the visuals that really shake the player up – it’s the sound, and the music. ![]() A very clear malevolence can be felt, however, as the game delights in showing us, great detail and personality rippling through the diminutive avatars of the affair as their bodies are tested in ways that daren’t be spoiled. The radio – which is later upgraded to one able to pick up many more frequencies – gives Alex and company a way to communicate with whatever else is on the island alongside them, a force that’s apparently all around them at all times, and yet unseen. ![]() Look, listen and learn carefully enough, and it all might just come together – but probably not on a single playthrough. There are also a number of photographs taken across the course of the night, by different characters, that contain clues and audio anomalies, snatches of conversations from a time before now, that can be tuned into. Greater detail as to the island’s past, and how that’s impacting the night’s events, can be gleaned from discovering letters, scattered around the island during the game’s later stages – they go some way to describing a pertinent disaster that occurred not far from the island’s shores. Ultimately, the divergent plot narrows to a linear path for a high-stakes subterranean climax, at which point your earlier choices are going to have consequences. This takes in a series of branches, directed by an excellent dialogue system that allows for player interruptions and very natural-feeling exchanges (and is made all the better by impressive voice acting), permitting the player’s character, Alex, a pronounced sense of agency in proceedings. The mystery of Edwards Island – home to a decommissioned military installation and, until recently, a sole elderly recluse – can be unpicked to some extent by simply following the main story. To dive into the particulars is to spoil a wealth of surprises, a raft of compelling beats that resonate with genre originality, that keep coming on a second playthrough – and even then, you might meet the credits with unanswered questions. The game’s uncommonly palpable eeriness is filtered through a story of possessed teens and glitches in time, loops in reality that see a group of high-schoolers try to survive a night stranded on an island that isn’t quite as deserted as they believed. Not that you’ll see the real ending if you go around Oxenfree’s relatively brief running time of about five hours only the once. ![]() It’s mesmerising while it plays, and memorable long after it’s finished. But Californian indie studio Night School’s debut production, originally released in 2016, is deserving of investigation by anyone delighting in disquiet. Granted, they’re a rare breed, the genuinely spooky video game, experiences that aren’t so much played as permitted to crawl across your skin, cooling the blood and yet quickening its flow. Oxenfree is one of gaming’s greatest ghost stories.

She just did the two jumbling steps and that was basically it. So basically for this last episode, what we did is I did was all the dance stuff and my stunt double didn’t learn the dance routine at all. But its definitely added pressure having to wear a leotard.ĭo you perform any of the actual routines yourself, or is that all done by the stunt people?ĪYLA: I do only dance stuff. ![]() I’m naturally an active person, so it’s not hard for me to stay in shape for the season. But, on top of that, I always make sure that I stay active outside of it. So we just try to keep up with them and sit with them on set, and that keeps you from getting lazy and just sitting around and eating craft services all day. How hard do you have to personally train to look like somebody who is going to go for Olympic gold?ĪYLA: Well, we have gymnasts on set all the time, and they are constantly working out because that’s their life. So I know I’ve done my fair share of hard routines to make sure that Payson made it back to being eligible for Olympic glory. I was cheering for her!ĪYLA: I had to work hard physically to get back to that place too. She’s had to work really hard to get back to that place. Then I got to fight my way back, which I think was really so much fun to get to do because a small part of you starts to feel like you’re achieving something when your character achieves something. I know what its like, so I love getting to play the devastated character because there is so much emotional range you get to go through there. I had a bad injury, so I relate to it completely. Do you find as an actor that it is easier to portray a character who is injured like that, or is it harder to actually play a healthy character?ĪYLA: I actually love it. She’s had the broken back storyline she injured her ankle in the championships. Payson has had to go through quite an ordeal. So it’s a really exciting season for that because you get to see her come through this whole transformation. That comes around this season when she’s forced to kind of get out of her little emotional box that she puts everything into - her little gymnastics box. She’s always so up tight and holds a lot in. If you could give Payson one bit of advice, what would you tell her?ĪYLA: Relax, I think. She also seems like she listens to own voice. I think that’s such a great message for girls watching the show that you can achieve great things if you keep your mind at it and keep to it. She knows what she wants so much that nothing can stop her at all. ![]() As you play Payson, the quasi-good girl on the show who works really hard to achieve her dreams, what do you admire most about her?ĪYLA: I think it’s great that she’s so gung-ho and so go-gettum about achieving her own big dreams and that she never lets anything stand in her way. ![]() Is one pumpkin drawing going to be enough?

Here is my experience with the biggest bowling center in Abu Dhabi. ![]() The combat pattern goes like this: approach target to ~450m, fire missiles, reposition while reloading, repeat. Otherwise you're just handicapping yourself with lower damage. ![]() You have to use that to your advantage and stay at 400-500m. It doesn't have the damage of the Orkan/Pinata setup, but it does have an extra 200m range, out to 500m. The Tulumbas/Pin setup is like the Orkan/Pinata setup, except even more of a skirmisher. ![]() You'll likely lose a solo fight against a Taran/Magnum Gareth because of its physical shield, even though it's a light robot. You're best to stick close to teammates and focus anyone with an energy shield. Dual thunder robots (carnage, natasha, and raijin) win at closer ranges. You can take out most robots 1v1, especially at 300-350m. The range is relatively low, so you'll have to get in close. The Taran/Magnum setup has a much higher sustained damage. Avoid spawning in an Orkan/Pinata Griffin if the enemy has 2+ carnages alive. A carnage with it's shield up is probably your worst enemy. Be careful to not jump on top of an enemy you can't kill since once you fire your rockets, you're a sitting duck for the next few seconds. One the enemy is low enough to kill in a single volley, you can rush in. Pop out, fire a volley, then go back to cover to reload. Try to keep behind cover about 250-300m away. You'll need 2-3 volleys against heavy robots though. That's enough to kill all light and most medium robots. A full volley where you hit all your rockets will do about 85k damage. You can upgrade everything to level 7 in about a week. The Orkan/Pinata setup should be played as more of a skirmisher. Try to save it to jump up to harder to reach areas, jump away to safety, or jump straight up to get a sight line for a volley of missiles. It's got quite a long downtime between uses. Avoid the temptation to just jump whenever you can to move around faster. It's not the sturdiest robot, so you have to use your jump wisely. Depends on the spread.The Griffin has 2 main things going for it: a jump and heavy offensive capabilities. (Tridents are not a good Heavy Weapon equivilent of a Tulu) ![]() He's got the most health out of the lot after the Raijin, and can potentially dodge the Tridents. IF you're equating Tridents, Tulus and Pins, advantage Bulgasari. IF the Exodus scales properly, you'd get the same results for Exodus/Orkan. He does more damage and take more hits than any of your options. tarans) and the Raijin wins He trundles out into the middle of the map, more than 400m from cover and waits. But if you must be serious, energy weapons (e.g. So a knight of legend ought to be able to handle a Rhino, but Bulgasari probably eats Lancelot du Lac (not entirely sure as my Korean is not strong, but it appears that Bulgasari is capable of eating iron, and that's a bad thing for those western fellows wearing metal suits.) Either way, Raijin and his thunder, storms and lighting - He'd crush whoever survived. Lancelot: Heroic Knight of the round table, adulturer. Once again, please do remember that this match is supposed to be a theoretical one in which all shots are a direct hit to a shield or the robot, not a realistic one in which players can easily dodge with dashes.īulgasari: Korean/Chinese mythological monster Please vote in the poll and comment below as well. Thinking about it myself, I find myself gravitating heavily towards the Raijin due to the fact that it has the most durability.Īdding on, the dashes/rushes of Bulgasari and Lancelot won't matter as all shots are given to be a direct hit, while the Bastion ability of the Raijin will increase its firepower by 30%, stated as above. What I mean by full potential is in a theoretical game in which its 1 vs 1, with the same types of weapons (taran for medium slots, redeemer for heavy or orkan for medium, exodus for heavy, etc) in which all bots are withing range, all shots hit, all abilities are used (however none except Bastion will help as all shots are direct hits), and all the hitpoints of the robots are taken before they die (all physical shields are destroyed before the robot itself is killled).Īs a Legend League player and a tester myself, I clearly know that there is very rarely a situation such as described, however, it seems like a fun thing to think and debate about. As a curious player having played the game for a few years now, I came to notice a few robots with exceptional durability - Lancelot, Rhino, Bulgasari, and the Raijin especially.Īll of them seem to be nice robots to have despite some dislike for them, but out of curiosity, I wondered which bot would win at their full potentials. This KitchenAid mixer is also equipped with a baking pan, mixing blade and dough hook. It’s not a lot of horsepower power wise, but it’s enough to mix cookie dough and make breads.

The focus is on time-boxing and delivering value-driven products to customers. It is an iterative and incremental process. As each Sprint completes, the review and feedback from the previous Sprint form the basis of the next Sprint. In Agile, especially in the Scrum Framework, the entire project gets divided into smaller pieces called Sprints which usually last for 30 days or lesser. Delivering the finished product and implementing the same.Īgile work is composed of two elements - time and teamwork and it includes many frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, SAFe etc.Documenting and gathering information to start the development work.The typical phases involved in software development include: This kind of methodology is good for projects that have more or less a fixed scope. In the traditional approach, it is assumed that the requirement of the client will remain the same while the budget or the cost and the time are variable. Between two major phases, there is a time-period where reviews happen and approvals are taken from the customer before proceeding ahead. So, you can say that the traditional approach goes in a predictable sequence. The Waterfall methodology is a linear approach that has different distinct phases where one phase starts after the one prior to it completes. What is the Waterfall Project Management? Let us start the discussion by understanding briefly what both the methodologies mean and stand for. Only 1 in 5 software development professionals say that they use traditional methods for software development.Īt least 81% of organizations use Agile methodology.Īnother research by HP says that 54% of people who use Agile are of the opinion that they use Agile methodologies with Scrum Framework because it facilitates enhanced teamwork and collaboration.

Memorizing loosely related facts is of little utility. You will drastically reduce the time it takes to learn and memorize if you’re able to slot each individual piece into a coherent structure. Remember, performing well on a test isn’t just a matter of knowing the information, but also understanding its context and how to apply it. Equally important, you’re also less likely to adequately apply the information come test day. If you don’t first understand the information, you’re much less likely to remember and recall it. There is little utility in memorizing a string of information if you are not able to adequately conceptualize and place it within a mental scaffolding. And when the big exam comes around, you still remember most everything.Ī surprising number of students succumb to the mistake of trying to memorize something that they don’t comprehend. By the time you’ve moved onto the next class, the intervals for your previous subject are much longer, meaning it takes far less time to maintain the already-consolidated information. ![]() But therein lies the beauty of spaced repetition. Many students are concerned that they’ll be wasting precious time reviewing older information at the expense of newer information. Remember, for spaced repetition software like Anki to work properly, you must regularly review information. With a fragmented deck, this just doesn’t happen. Second, and more importantly, you’ll be in the habit of reviewing the entire deck, which is very good for your larger exams, whether that’s the MCAT or USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX. First, you’ll waste less time organizing and structuring your deck. Structuring your deck in this manner serves two main purposes. Within each deck, I tagged cards by organ system, like cardiology or pulmonology, and also by other useful pieces of information, such as whether they included a mnemonic or other memory device. My Step 2CK deck included everything from my third year. In medical school, I had a single deck for Step 1 that included everything from my first two years. My general recommendation is to create a single deck for large exam. This fragmentation simply complicates the task of reviewing the necessary information. These are the best practices in creating effective flashcards.ĭo NOT have a sub-deck for each week in a class. It wasn’t until the end of medical school and while I was in plastic surgery residency that I began using it most effectively. When I first started using Anki as a medical student, some of my cards were good, but most were garbage. But as a tool, there are those who use it well, and those who misuse it. Spaced repetition software, like Anki, is one of the most powerful learning tools available for medical students. If you haven’t already, be sure to first check out part one on how to improve your memory. These are the best principles to make Anki easy and effective. If you fall into the latter, I’m willing to bet that you’re not creating good flashcards. Chances are that you fall into one of two camps – you either love it, or you’ve tried it and decided that it wasn’t for you. If you’re a pre-med or medical student, you’ve likely heard of Anki. ![]()
