![]() ![]() Madonna Responds to Critics of Her Prince Tributeįink - who’s part of the Minneapolis-based Prince tribute band the Purple Xperience - also echoes the sentiment of some fans online who opined that the Revolution should have been invited to take part in the tribute, not unlike the Eagles playing at the Grammys just weeks after Glenn Frey passed away. Details to follow.Drake, Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X & More of the Week's Biggest Winners (May 28) Eric Leeds played on some of the tracks and Mixing should be done by mid August. I have been co-writing and co-producing a project with Kris Vanderheyden from Brussels Belgium and Free Dominguez from LA that will hopefully be released later this year. However, it's still all about great songwriting. The digital audio workstation software available for recording music with computers has opened the doors to more creative possibilities. How does technology factor in the music you make today, as opposed to when you were making music with the Revolution in the '80s? Who do you see using your new product, and what kind of projects would you like to see them create with it?Īnyone can use the acid loops software and create music - so the more projects people do, the better. I said yes, so he put me in touch with them and they said 'let's go'. What prompted you to create the Funk Factory package for Sony's Acid software?Ī friend of mine who was doing a library for Sony asked me if I was interested in doing one too. ![]() I try to stay in touch with everyone at least a few times during the year. How often do you keep in touch with your ex-bandmates in the Revolution and the SOTT/Lovesexy band? ![]() I also mix and master projects that were not done at my studio. What's a typical day like for Matt Fink these days?ĭepending on what's booked and the client's needs, I work on all kinds of projects from songwriting demos to fully produced CD's for bands and solo artists. Since your time in the Revolution, you've recorded your own albums and kept busy maintaining your own studio and web site. No, I was unable to see the show, but I did see some TV appearances and I thought the band did a nice job doing the old songs. Were you able to check out the Musicology tour last year? What's it like to hear Prince's subsequent NPG members playing all those songs you had a hand in creating? I only played on a few tracks on the second album and then played keys for the touring act on the Sign 'O' The Times tour in Europe, summer of 1987. Madhouse was more of a collaboration between Prince and Eric Leeds. The amount of recognition and respect I still receive from fans and other musicians.ĭo you have a particular album from those days that you feel more attached to than any others - maybe one in which you had the most input, or that brings back the most vivid memories?Ī lot of Prince fans really love the Madhouse albums, and those records are some of the most highly sought-after items in the fan community. Since the days of working with Prince, what's been the most enjoyable part of having such a big part in such a pop music legacy? Jet, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Coldplay, The Killers, Evanescence, Green Day, My Chemical Romance to name a few. I'll start with one of my favorite questions to ask musicians: What music have you been listening to lately? With this new release in tow, the good doctor took a few minutes to answer some questions via e-mail for the Org, chatting about his days with Prince, what he's been listening to, and how his Funk Factory project came about. The Sony catalog describes his sound collection as "majestic polyphonic analog synth themes, payday grooves captured directly from vintage machines, realtime clavinet licks, searing solos and motifs, classic orchestral stabs." just to name a few of the offerings. Fink has designed a library of samples for Sony's Acid software called Dr. Aside from running his own recording studio in Minneapolis for the past several years, he's been producing other artists, creating music for video games and soundtracks, and creating his own music which can be found on his web site, Most recently, Dr. Fink has been up to since the end of his time with the Revolution. While his work with Prince may leave a mark in many fans' memories, a lot of folks may not know what Dr. He was a member of Prince's touring band from the early Pre-Revolution days and stuck with Prince after the disbanding of the Revolution, performing on the now-legendary 'Sign 'O' the Times' and 'Lovesexy' tours. Matt Fink has contributed a great deal to Prince's sound, co-writing and recording memorable keyboard riffs on most of Prince's most classic albums. Matt Fink is someone who doesn't need an introduction on this site.Īs a member of Prince's band from 1978 to 1991, Fink's trademark scrubs and stethoscope have been as common to Prince fans as high heels and the color purple.

These brands have boba that’s quick to make in about five minutes and you don’t even need to soak the boba first. This quick method is based on two very specific boba brands: WuFuYuan and E-Fa boba. Quick cooking method – WuFuYuan & E-FA brand pearls (Optional) If the boba are cooked, you can now choose to sweeten your boba with a few tablespoons of dark brown sugar or honey for an additional 10 minutes. Note: the longer boba stays in liquid the softer it will become and may disintegrate eventually. While this technique typically works the first time around, if you do find the center is still hard, repeat the 30 & 30 method again until you find your desired texture. Taste test your boba and see if they have a chewy consistency throughout. Then, strain the boba and run them under cold water to remove the excess starch around them. After 30 minutes, move the pot off the stove, cover it with a lid, and let it rest for an additional 30 minutes. Continue to cook for 30 minutes uncovered. Once all the boba float to the top, lower the heat to medium and keep a simmer. Once you have a rolling boil, add your dried tapioca pearls into the pot and wait for the boba to float. (Please refrain from rinsing boba before cooking because they may disintegrate) For every half a cup of dried boba, it makes about one cup of cooked boba. In a large pot, boil about ten cups of water for every ½ cup of dried tapioca pearls. This method also works for many white tapioca pearls too! So far, this method has yet to fail me. If you’ve never made boba at home before, the 30 & 30 method is a great way to start without being too confused especially since many brands have different types of boba. This means 30 minutes of cooking followed by 30 minutes of rest. ![]() If its still raw in the center, consider additional rounds of cooking and resting the pearls. ![]() If it gets too soft, reduce the cooking time. If you have a specific brand that I haven’t tested, I would recommend using the 30 & 30 method below as a starting point. This boba is my favorite because it’s super quick (it really takes five minutes) and it gives you nice and chewy boba.
I played the emulated home version repeatedly, with only 4 credits on the default difficulty setting, to see how far I could get. On the first page, I said that there was a Rocky-esque training montage for this game. That's the problem at the heart of King of the Monsters 2, you see. Most of all, don't make your game a test of patience rather than skill! ![]() Second, don't encourage- or, rather, force- the player to find the cheapest, most repetitive strategies possible (such as spamming Super Geon's Earthquake) not merely to beat the game quickly, but to have any hope of beating it at all. For one, don't rely on giving the computer opponents every possible advantage (they win nearly every grapple, they have more health than you, they don't need to charge their projectiles) and force the player to eat shit and die (Power-Downs, inability to consistently win grapples, fucking Power-Downs) to make the game 'harder'. This game is like a case-study in things to not do when balancing the difficulty of your video game. Or rather, King of the Monsters 2 - The Next Thing has beaten us. It's HIGH SCORE TABLE TIME!!!Īnd so, for better or worse, we've beaten King of the Monsters 2 - The Next Thing. SNK nuts will note the appearance of Hamachi Papa as planner and director- he was producer/director for King of the Monsters and Beast Busters too.Īnd now, to end with something we haven't seen for a while on Gaming Hell. We then have the credits, of course, complete with amusing little pictures for all the staff members. Hey, SNK, stop leaving these painfully obvious sequel hooks around, will ya? Then you get a chance to have a freeze-frame pose in the sky as you're declared the King of the Monsters.Īnd you get a pointless 100000 bonus points which does nothing except irritate anyone who wants to try and beat your high score.įinally, you get a bit of guff about how you beat the aliens, you're totally the strongest, and that in 800 years, 'a few survivors will have power'. However! If you're successful in your mission, you get blasted out of the volcano as it erupts. If there's one thing that both King of the Monsters games have in spades, it's a downright macabre sense of humour. So SNK's point is that the Earth won't be peaceful until we're all dead? ![]() ![]() King of the Monsters 2 - The Next Thing - PEACE EXISTS AT LAST.Īpparently, by not killing the itty-bitty Famardy clones, you doom the entire Earth and it essentially collapses in on itself. ![]() Each character is unique, has its own pool of abilities he can learn.Īll additional stats are from your gear. When you cast debuff spell on your opponents you roll dices, dices, dices, dices. You get into new area, there is something happening like fog and you have to roll dices to get out of that fog or have visibility impaired. If you enjoy either RPGs or table top games then you should definitely check out Crimson Shroud on the 3DS.Game is basically table top RPG and it plays like one. This price point and the above average quality of the game is why I say Crimson Shroud is a good sign for the things to come on Nintendo’s eShop. Adding to the game’s length is a game+ mode that lets you start with all of your gear. Doing the high level math, that works out to about a $1 per hour of play. And since this is designed after a D&D RPG there will be a lot of reading.Ĭlocking in at a little over 8 hours, Crimson Shroud is not long by RPG standards, but the silver lining is that you can buy it for just $7.99 on the eShop. The lack of voice characters in a modern RPG may annoy some, but I honestly didn’t mind reading everything instead. ![]() The sound is another area that is serviceable. Visually Crimson Shroud is good for an eShop game, but it’s not up to the same level you would expect from a full retail release. Each area of the map will present you with options, do you want to try to ambush the monsters that don’t see you yet or sneak around them, is that odd looking chest in the corner worth opening? The outcome of decisions like these all depend on the dice roll. The interesting thing here is not the plot itself, but instead it’s the choices given to you throughout the story. Instead you mostly deal with the three main characters and their quest to find a valuable artifact called the Crimson Shroud. The game does have a storyline to follow, although I wouldn’t call it epic on any scale. The fact that both the characters and the monsters look like table top figures, complete with a base to allow them to stand up, only helps add to the board game presentation. On top of that you will be presented with several choices throughout the game the outcome of those choices will rely on the roll of the dice. ![]() Dice rolls determine the effectiveness of magic attacks and abilities. Crimson Shroud literally displays the dice on the bottom screen, where you can either swipe them with your stylus or hit a button to begin the dice roll. Since Crimson Shroud is designed to play like a table top RPG the dice roll plays a large part in the game. Mastering this system and then knowing which elements to use against which monsters will determine your success in battle. Almost all of the magic and abilities in the game are tied to a certain element, stringing together attacks that complement other elements can create devastating combo attacks. Adding to the strategy is the game’s chain attack system. Certain weapons will enable players to utilize different types of magic and abilities. The main character’s themselves do not level up, instead you gain stats and powers by equipping better weapons and armor. However, Crimson Shroud does offer a very deep and strategic combat system. Add to that a story that gives you choices, with a narrative that is designed to emulate the Dungeon Master role, and you have a unique RPG for the North American market.Ĭrimson Shroud is not an RPG for beginners, but the familiar turn based system means that it will be accessible to most gamers. This is a true RPG, complete with turn based battles, a diverse cast of characters, monsters galore, but with the added twist that a d20 dice roll decides the effectiveness of your decisions and the battle. Developed by Level-5 and acclaimed RPG director Yasumi Matsuno, Crimson Shroud is a very good digital rendition of the D&D table top genre. ![]() Crimson Shroud represents a very promising sign for the future of the Nintedo eShop. ![]() ![]() This will allow your carrier to leave your order if you are not available.Įxpedited packaging supplies can be shipped via Priority Mail® service within 1-3 business days for a fee.

You lose the storage that comes with it. Unless you have good cable management, you may also see wires hanging down from the telly to the power socket. It’s also important to remember that you may also lose easy access to ports on the back of the TV – so connecting a set-top box, streaming device or wired soundbar may be more difficult. Failing to do it properly can result in damage to your TV (and wall). Installation is always fairly easy, but may require a helper and you often have to use a drill. The biggest is that doing so requires more effort than just popping on the feet and setting it on a cabinet. Of course, there are also downsides to mounting. 70. If you do have children (or if you’re just slightly clumsy) having the TV on the wall is safer as the set can’t be toppled over and cause an injury.Īt the same time, using a tilted or a motion mount gives you more flexibility on how the screen is positioned, letting you swivel the display away from glare pouring through the blinds. Universal TV Stand/Base Tabletop TV Stand with Wall Mount for 32 to 70 inch 4 Level Height Adjustable, Heavy Duty Tempered Glass Base, Holds up to 110lbs. Even better, you no longer have to lay out all of your furniture and sofas facing the direction of your TV. This opens up another exciting possibility for more snug homes: using a wall means you can shop for larger screen sizes. Use on drywall or a stud wall may not be possible, or need extra support with professional installation.įor us, the biggest pro of wall mounting your TV is that it saves space – getting the telly up high means you don’t need a large stand or cabinet taking up valuable square inches, giving you more room for sofas, accent chairs or a children’s play area. Try to stick to sturdy brick or concrete walls if possible. Lastly, your wall has to be strong enough to support both the weight of your TV and the bracket. Common sizes are 200 x 200, 400 x 400 and 600 x 400, but every telly is different. So, if your result is 100 mm across and 100 mm high your VESA is 100 x 100 mm. If you can’t find the details in the manual or online, you can measure this yourself: it’s the distance (in millimetres) between the two horizontal holes and the distance between the two vertical holes. What exactly is a VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)? This refers to four pre-built screw holes you will find on the back of your TV – used to connect a mount. Read the spec sheet for the bracket and make sure it handles your screen size (this is measured in inches), weight (measured in kilograms) and the size of VESA mount (measured in millimetres). Once you have picked the type of wall mount that works best for your home, you will need to make sure it fits on your telly. Interested? Here’s our pick of the best TV wall brackets in 2023: Some keep the telly in a fixed position, while others let you swivel, tilt or turn it within 180 degrees. Wall brackets are available to fit all sizes – whether it’s one of the best OLED TVs or a more affordable set under £500 – and are installed relatively easily using pre-built holes on the back (you will see this called VESA, more on that below). Mounting your telly lets you change the angle of the screen, gives you more room for furniture and, as the set is less likely to topple over, it’s safer for kids too. In fact, there are plenty of reasons not to use the feet that come in the box and instead take advantage of your wall space. There’s no rule that it has to go on a TV stand. There’s more to setting up your new TV than fiddling with the menus to get the best picture quality and downloading your favourite streaming apps – where you place your telly in a room has a big impact on your viewing experience. ![]()

Hurricane Ian pummeled the state on Wednesday with crushing storm surge, obliterating wind speeds and torrential rainfall, leaving a swath of devastation from the southwestern coast across the I-4 corridor. “Hopefully, that will assist with some of the connectivity issues,” DeSantis said. Ron DeSantis on Saturday said that SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk was helping Southwest Florida regain internet connectivity through his Starlink satellite service.ĭeSantis said Musk was positioning the satellite to improve coverage in the region and also providing 120 Starlink ground station units to help people nearby to gain internet connection. | Elon Musk helping SWFL with internet connectivity That's a slight improvement from Saturday morning, when 40% of Collier and 73% of Lee woke up without electricity. Lee County had 166,000 FPL addresses without power Saturday night while the Collier tally was 77,650. When including other utilities, Collier had 97,819 unable to turn out on their lights or 37% overall. Frankly, many homes and businesses will not be able to accept power when that power is restored."

Once the desired blood vessel is found, blood flow velocities may be measured with a pulsed Doppler effect probe, which graphs velocities over time. The first uses "B-mode" imaging, which displays a 2-dimensional image of the skull, brain, and blood vessels as seen by the ultrasound probe. Two methods of recording may be used for this procedure. The tests are also used for research in cognitive neuroscience (see Functional transcranial Doppler, below). The tests are often used in conjunction with other tests such as MRI, MRA, carotid duplex ultrasound and CT scans. The equipment used for these tests is becoming increasingly portable, making it possible for a clinician to travel to a hospital, to a doctor's office, or to a nursing home for both inpatient and outpatient studies. The tests are possibly useful for perioperative monitoring and meningeal infection. The tests are effective for detecting sickle cell disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformations, and cerebral circulatory arrest. These relatively quick and inexpensive tests are growing in popularity. ![]() They are used as tests to help diagnose emboli, stenosis, vasospasm from a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm), and other problems. These modes of medical imaging conduct a spectral analysis of the acoustic signals they receive and can therefore be classified as methods of active acoustocerebrography. Transcranial Doppler ( TCD) and transcranial color Doppler ( TCCD) are types of Doppler ultrasonography that measure the velocity of blood flow through the brain's blood vessels by measuring the echoes of ultrasound waves moving transcranially (through the cranium).
