![]() The range of enemies you’ll come across is vast, and each type has its own strength and weakness. Using them requires a certain amount of energy, and are best saved for moments of desperation. Each Wild Fire ability also lets you call upon one of the three ‘Dudes of Trichoma’, who act as temporary familiars to aid you in battle. It comes with a massive trade-off, as your defence against these enemies also takes a big hit, so while there’s undoubtedly a temptation to run in with reckless abandon, you’ll need to be careful and keep your guard up at all times. Activating these enshrouds Narita Boy in flames, boosting his attack damage against enemies of the same colour type. Naturally, this takes up precious bullets that slowly reload over time.Īs you get further into the game, you’ll then gain access to ‘Wild Fire’ abilities, which come in red, yellow, and blue varieties. ![]() Alternatively, you can hold down the ranged attack button and fire off a devastating beam of energy that will wipe out most enemies in one swoop. In addition to standard melee attacks, you can also utilise the techno sword as a shotgun, unleashing major damage upon one enemy. Attacking enemies feels fluid and intuitive, and the dodge mechanic not only lets you avoid enemy attacks, but also places you behind the enemy, giving you a great opening to launch a counter-strike. Early on, you’ll pick up the Techno Sword, and from there you’re gradually introduced to more and more moves and abilities. Where the game truly shines is in its excellent combat. In addition, the NPC dialogue is purposefully vague and obscure, which for the most part is great, but there are definitely a few moments where you wish a character would just say “go here, do this… off you pop!” When half the game entails collecting Techno-Keys and gaining access to new areas, a map – or at the very least some sort of guide – could make all the difference. For example, there’s absolutely no map to speak of, and while the environments are hardly as complex as your average Castlevania, for instance, there are quite a few doorways and passages for you to get lost in. On the flip side, there’s absolutely no doubt that the game could have made a few quality-of-life additions to the gameplay and structure to make things a little more digestible. It can all feel a tad overwhelming at first, but as you make your way around, each narrative thread starts to fall into place, and you’ll find yourself thinking “ah, so that’s what that is!” There’s an abundance of seemingly nonsense names and phrases like ‘Son of Trichoma’, ‘Creator’s Tears’, and ‘Citadel of King *NumStr the Horseman’ (no, really). It drops you in with almost no build-up or introduction, and you’re left to explore the environment and meet its many weird and wonderful digital inhabitants. Narita Boy wastes no time in easing you into its surprisingly complex world. HIM deploys its minions known as Stallions throughout the world, and it’s your job to obtain the legendary Techno Sword, take down the hordes of corrupt enemies, and restore The Creator’s memories. The overarching narrative sees you take on the role of Narita Boy, who must traverse the Digital Kingdom within a video game to battle the forces of HIM, a virus that has stolen the memories of The Creator, the game’s, uh… creator. For newcomers of the Metroidvania genre, Narita Boy isn’t the most accommodating title to start with, but it’s certainly one that rewards patience and exploration.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) The pixelated visuals feel retro and yet distinctly modern at the same time, with beautiful animations, bold environment design, and an optional CRT filter that enhances the overall tone of the game (though can occasionally feel a bit too much). ![]() It’s an action-oriented Metroidvania that absolutely leans into a heavy ‘80s, Tron-like aesthetic, but never lets it overshadow the world or its characters. Let’s be clear right from the start: Narita Boy is a great game. Thankfully though, with so many ‘80s-themed books, movies, and games to choose from recently, it’s gotten incredibly easy to filter out the great from the poor. Unfortunately, nostalgia has often seemingly taken precedence over good storytelling, resulting in some rather questionable throwbacks (looking at you, Mr. ![]() We’re at a point in time where those who were born or grew up in the ‘80s are now expressing their love for the decade through the arts, resulting in cultural behemoths like Stranger Things and Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One. It’s 2021, yet it somehow still feels like we’re in the 1980s. ![]()

That is, unless you don’t own a microwave or are against using one. But just in case I haven’t done my job, allow me to convince you with these Vegan Hershey Kisses. I hope that I have proven to all of you up to this point that there really is no food that cannot be remade into a friendly version into what you can enjoy. The holidays are quickly approaching which means we can find ourselves feeling bummed about that fact that there are less things those of us who are sensitive or allergic to certain foods can enjoy when that dessert plate is passed around. The good news, however, is that we are not limited–we just have to spend an extra minute in the kitchen to create the same foods we know we can love. Hershey Kisses are my favorite chocolates because they are the perfect size when you have that sweet tooth nagging at you to devour something tasty.

As the creators continue to develop the product, I hope Openvid never gets more complicated than “click, click, talk and browse, click.Twitter GitHub Glitch Mastodon Homepage IntroductionĪudio/Video capture has been the "Holy Grail" of web development for a long time.įor many years we've had to rely on browser plugins ( Flash or And, as of June 2016, it’s a great example of a simple, easy-to-use tool with few features. Openvid is the sort of tool that if you need it, you know you need it. Want to know how well a college student really understands a concept? Ask the student to create a video response as they scroll through to a long post. Run into problems with a site? Record a video and explain your struggle while you show the problem. Want to know how well your site really works? Have a person record a video of their experience while trying to complete a task on your site. Openvid also works well for videos that explore questions. Screen recordings can also serve educators working in a “flipped classroom”–where a teacher records a video that students can view outside of the classroom. A video walkthrough can explain how to use a web app, or show product features, functions, and benefits. The most obvious uses for screen recording with commentary are videos that explain a concept or process. SEE: Five good apps for editing video (TechRepublic) Record to explain, or explore (And when you no longer need your video, you can delete it from the site with a click.) Another click lets you download the video file as an MP4, which you can then save, edit, or store elsewhere.

The first three link to your saved video page: You can share the link via Facebook or Twitter, or copy the link to share elsewhere. The system gives you five ways to share your video. All videos are public, but accessible only with an obscurely long link. Stop recording and the web page with your saved video appears. You don’t have to remember to save your file and there’s no additional “upload your video” step. Openvid automatically saves your completed video in WEBM format at. You just install the extension and create an account. It works on any desktop system that runs Chrome: Chrome OS, macOS, and Windows. Openvid is free to use.įinally, since Openvid works as a Chrome extension, it doesn’t require a complicated setup. Your recording shows exactly what you recorded–nothing more and nothing less. The system doesn’t insert a logo or watermark into your recording, either. With Openvid, you record without worrying about a time limit. Openvid also doesn’t limit recording time, unlike some screen recording tools that restrict recordings to 10 minutes or less. The extension records only the contents of the browser window, not items elsewhere on your screen. But, none of those show when you record with Openvid. I typically hide my bookmark bar, system toolbar, extra browser tabs, and extra Chrome extensions. With a full-screen recording tool, you need to hide things before you record to eliminate unnecessary viewer distractions. Most notably, Openvid records the site, not the entire screen. Much of the appeal of Openvid is what it doesn’t do.

The חידוש here is that this a fact in psychological theory as well. That something else is a dedication to something other than yourself. The only way to be happy is as a side effect of something else. Paradoxically, we can never be happy if we try to. The goal is “ones personal dedication to a course greater than oneself”. The mistake is in thinking that happiness is the goal. When it doesn’t, they pursue other avenues that they believe will bring them happiness such as money, honor, etc. Many people get married thinking that marriage will bring them happiness. While there is much to delve into here, one concept is key here. For success, like happiness cannot be pursued it must ensue… as the unintended side effect of one’s personal dedication to a course greater than oneself” (Viktor Frankl) “Don’t aim at success- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. There is a quote from Viktor Frankl that helps elucidate this. At the foundation of many of these themes is a single principle. However, there are often common themes that are dominant in many struggling marriages. There is no one problem nor one solution that will completely address this issue. It behooves us all to understand the causes for this and to begin finding a solution.Įvery marriage is unique and so are its challenges. After speaking to many Rabbanim and colleagues, it’s clear that this is the norm. As a therapist, the one universal struggle that almost all of my clients have in common is marriage. Many couples that look fine are not doing fine at all. There are also many that suffer in silence.

I have this story I tell people about the shift to rap music around 1990 - I had a high school friend who was a white hispanic girl from our middle class suburbs. The Library of Congress even recognizes Straight Outta Compton as being worthy of preservation! But their artistry has gained wider appreciation as time has gone on. So yeah, they were popular in the late 80s, early 90s but you had to be in the right circles. I'm now a 50 year old women who worked 20 years at an Episcopal seminary. But aside from my brother I've never met anyone else who appreciates or even knows much about NWA. What can I say? It shot me right in the heart.Įven today I have Straight Outta Compton on my ipod. When the movie Boyz n the Hood came out (starring Ice Cube, who had left NWA by then), my bro and I had to see it. He was afraid a female floor mate would pop in and conclude he was a sick twisted misogynist. My brother listened to them at low volume in his dorm room. I only listened to them when I was alone in my car. Needless to say we were not in NWA friendly environments. Is it okay if I touch your thigh? Do you mind if I kiss your neck? May I run my hand over your left breast? The kind that tried to teach us that in any sexual encounter you should ask permission to make your next move. My brother and I both went off to fancy progressive colleges. I copied my brother's Straight Outta Compton and Eazy E's solo album (loved the song 8 Ball enough to try the featured drink - ugh, nauseating IMO). Anyway, they were in the news and gained notoriety. I think their most controversial song was Fuck tha Police because it "promoted violence against law enforcement." But really, it expressed the justified rage over being repeatedly hassled by police for just being young, male and black in a poor neighborhood. There was just something about the beat, the anger, the rebelliousness and provocativeness, and of course the humor. I warmed up to them quickly even though my tastes ran to REM, Kate Bush and Depeche Mode. When my brother first had me listen to NWA I was shocked but amused. His memorable quote about music: "Melody is stupid." Or maybe they made a "clean" showing on MTV's "Yo, MTV Raps", a favorite of my bro's.
