The open world feels very appropriate for the Diablo series without steering off into other MMORPG territories. Diablo 4 really takes the series to new heights while keeping the same core dungeon crawling, loot hunting, monster slaying concepts. I am a Diablo 2 purist, no matter what the series does, I think that is a timeless formula, so I am always a little rough to accept change in the series, even if it takes it in the right direction. I purchased it on PC and on PS5 to do couch coop with my wife. Needless to say, I was beyond excited for Diablo 4. In addition to those, I messed around with several of the Diablo clones over the years - Path of Exile, Torchlight, Titan Quest, among many others.

The Prologue isn’t the best story arc, but it’s fun to watch. In the manga, we don’t meet a lot of the characters until chapter 34. These three get tossed together into a team with the elite ninja, Kakashi (all above). We meet Sasuke, Naruto’s rival, and Sakura, a Sasuke fangirl with a giant crush. Of course, the audience knows the truth, that Naruto is the orphaned son of a great leader, and that he has the powerful Nine-Tailed Fox trapped inside of him. He’s a practical joker, unpredictable and sort of a loser. Naruto’s epic story starts so low and humble, that people don’t even bother to give it a name - it’s just the prologue.

In these stories, Naruto goes from ‘number one hyperactive, knucklehead ninja’ to a great hero of the Fourth Shinobi World War and beyond. Along with the series came many story arcs. It makes sense, since the anime and its sequel Naruto Shippuden ran for 15 years from 3 October 2002 to 23 March 2017.

A:M has a reputation for not playing well with polygon-based programs, but I think you just have to understand the limits and work around them. I just wanted to try it and see what happened. I’m not sure if I will use this technique on some of the gear, or if I would just model from scratch in A:M. I dragged and dropped it into an Action and it perfectly aligned with the Hyena model! All I had to do was add a translate to and orient like constraint to the head controller and I was done: In A:M I imported the helmet and assigned a rusty steel DarkTree material to it. I then sculpted some detail–though not too much, because I wasn’t sure it would work…īefore exporting the helmet, I ran the Decimation command on it to reduce the polygon count, then exported an. obj and imported it into Zbrush, painted a mask for the helmet and extracted the geometry. I had an idea this evening to see whether I could combine Zbrush and Animation:Master by using the extract command in Zbrush to create equipment (in this case a helmet) and bring that geometry back into A:M as a PROP. The new render time was only 2 minutes per frame! I eliminated global illumination, ambient occlusion, and multipass–relighted the scene with Z-buffered shadows instead of ray-tracing. I started rendering the shot (in HD, 1280 x 720), The first couple of frames took over 1-1/2 hours! With over 400 frames in just this shot, that was way too long…I knew that I was going to have to make some compromises…. The dust particles are Sprites emitted with each step, and are drifting off to the right as though blown by the wind (actually there is a fan Force Emitter creating the wind). I set the ground plane to Front Projection Target and Flat Shaded. Then I added extra detail of the rocks and scrub as an overlay layer. ![]() I added the dunes in the distance, and the sky, as layers underneath the rendering. So I decided to render the landscape by itself to get the lighting, and retouch it in Photoshop to create matte paintings to use as background rotoscopes in A:M. Unfortunately, the maximum texture resolution in Sculptris was too pixelated when rendering up close. ![]() The detailed rocks in the pass is where the main action of the scene is, so I figured that I could just drop the landscape in as a PROP and render everything in A:M… The reason I wanted to use Sculptris is that I could use the Reduction brush to simplify the geometry in the distance. In this case, I used Zbrush to generate the geometry, but I exported it to Sculptris to work on the detail and textures. Using the greyscale values, it is pretty simple to generate a terrain mesh. The DEM files and software are available for free here. I started with a Digital Elevation Map (DEM) and exported a greyscale image from MicroDEM. After doing a number of tests each way, I felt that a hybrid matte painted look was going to be better for the introduction of this character… I have been a little torn between using somewhat realistic CG landscapes or digital paintings for this project. ![]() ![]() ![]() He's the league's highest-graded short-area receiver by a considerable margin. ![]() He led the league in receptions (88), yards (709), combined first-down and touchdown receptions (41) and contested catches (13) in the short area. X factor for 2019: Michael Thomas was targeted the most on passes in the short area of the field (1-9 yards past the line of scrimmage) last season, seeing 97 such throws come his way. The Saints also drafted Erik McCoy out of Texas A&M, and he could see some snaps at center this season. For his career, Easton has an overall grade of just 57.5, which ranks in the bottom sixth of guards since he joined the league. Kirk Cousins was second at 79.5%.īiggest weakness: Center is a glaring weak spot along the offensive line, as New Orleans will bank on Nick Easton transitioning from guard in his first season with the team after two injury-filled seasons with the Vikings. Brees threw a catchable pass on 82.2% of his dropbacks, by far the highest percentage in the league. PFF's adjusted completion percentage removes outside factors that hurt general completion percentage that are not the quarterback's fault, such as drops, spiked balls, throwaways, etc. He led the league in adjusted completion percentage in 2018, setting the PFF record at 82.2% during the regular season. Goff's clean-pocket passing ability ranked third in overall grade in 2018 and is an extremely strong and stable metric for looking at year-to-year production.īiggest strength: Drew Brees continues to be one of the league's best quarterbacks. The NFL is a quarterback-driven league, and if Goff can continue to improve, the Rams might get back to the big game. The Rams have an excellent coaching staff, a loaded roster and Super Bowl experience, but they will get only as far as Goff allows them to. X factor for 2019: Jared Goff is coming off a great season in which he earned an overall grade of 84.3, ranking eighth among quarterbacks, but struggled mightily in the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. That was Ndamukong Suh, who has left town. Aside from Donald, only one other Rams front-seven member earned a run-defense grade above 80.0 last season. Consider that the Patriots gained 154 rushing yards in the Super Bowl, and forced seven missed tackles. ![]() Sure, they have Donald, but it wouldn't hurt to get better against the run at other positions. He is a one-man wrecking crew, which will continue in 2019.īiggest weakness: It's tough to find a weakness on the Rams' loaded defense, but collective run defense is probably it. And last year was Donald's best season yet, as he earned a monstrous overall grade of 95.0 and recorded a mind-boggling 113 total pressures to lead interior defensive linemen by a handsome margin in both categories. The tools are there, though, as he generated pressure on 16.7% of his pass-rush attempts while winning 18.0% of his pass rushes during his final season at Arkansas back in 2016.īiggest strength: Aaron Donald finished each of the past four seasons as the league's highest-graded interior defender. is set to lead the Patriots' edge group in Year 3 despite recording just 80 career pressures over two seasons, winning just 12.1% and 13.3% of his pass rushes, respectively. ![]() Outside of Flowers and Clayborn, no Patriots edge defender had more than 30 QB pressures a season ago, as the returning unit brings back only nine sacks, 12 QB hits and 42 QB hurries on a combined 697 pass rushes. Coupled with the loss of Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborn this offseason, this unit once again sticks out. His game might have changed over the years, but his ability remains high-end.īiggest weakness: The Patriots have long lacked a true pass-rushing threat along the edge. The defending champs will lean on their quarterback who, even at 41 years old, showed off all the throws in 2018 and finished with an elite PFF grade (90.7) for the fourth straight season. Projected starting lineups on offense and defense are provided, including our player grades from the 2018 season.īiggest strength: Perhaps the greatest quarterback to play the position continues to produce at an elite level, as Tom Brady led his team to another Super Bowl victory a season ago. PFF grades every player on every play of every game of the NFL season, allowing us a comprehensive look at what each player has to offer for the upcoming season. We dove into the Pro Football Focus database and ranked every roster as it stands right now, focusing on the expected starters. The 2019 NFL offseason saw many personnel changes for all 32 teams, and each roster looks a bit different than it did a year ago.

Math Order of Operations - PEMDAS, BEDMAS, BODMAS, GEMDAS, MDAS If you incorrectly enter it as 4/1/2 then it is solved 4/1 = 4 first then 4/2 = 2 last. Then the division 1/2 = 0.5 is performed first and 4/0.5 = 8 is performed last. For example, in the equation 4 divided by ½ you must enter it as 4/(1/2). If you want an entry such as 1/2 to be treated as a fraction then enter it as (1/2). 5r(1/4) is the 1/4 root of 5 which is the same as 5 raised to the 4th power.If your equation has fractional exponents or roots be sure to enclose the fractions in parentheses. You can try to copy equations from other printed sources and paste them here and, if they use ÷ for division and × for multiplication, this equation calculator will try to convert them to / and * respectively but in some cases you may need to retype copied and pasted symbols or even full equations. ^ Exponents (2^5 is 2 raised to the power of 5) You can also include parentheses and numbers with exponents or roots in your equations. ( PEMDAS Caution) This calculator solves math equations that add, subtract, multiply and divide positive and negative numbers and exponential numbers. But as yet, they've only been able to prove that the answer is at least as big as the answer you get that way.Solve math problems using order of operations like PEMDAS, BEDMAS, BODMAS, GEMDAS and MDAS. Mathematicians suspect the equation is M=1+2 N-2, where M is the number of dots and N is the number of sides in the shape. ![]() More importantly, there should be a formula to tell us how many dots are required for any shape. It's a mystery how many dots is required to create a heptagon or any larger shapes. But for a pentagon, a five-sided shape, it turns out you need nine dots. The gist of this theorem is that you'll always be able to create a convex quadrilateral with five random dots, regardless of where those dots are positioned. Assuming the dots aren't deliberately arranged-say, in a line-you should always be able to connect four of them to create a convex quadrilateral, which is a shape with four sides where all of the corners are less than 180 degrees. Make five dots at random places on a piece of paper. ![]() Essentially, the problem works like this: The happy ending problem is so named because it led to the marriage of two mathematicians who worked on it, George Szekeres and Esther Klein. But they also haven't been able to prove that such a box doesn't exist, so the hunt is on for a perfect cuboid. This is called a perfect cuboid. Mathematicians have tried many different possibilities and have yet to find a single one that works. The goal is to find a box where A 2 + B 2 + C 2 = G 2, and where all seven numbers are integers. But there are also three more diagonals on the three surfaces (D, E, and F) and that raises an interesting question: can there be a box where all seven of these lengths are integers? ![]() Just as there are some triangles where all three sides are whole numbers, there are also some boxes where the three sides and the spatial diagonal (A, B, C, and G) are whole numbers. The first three are the dimensions of a box, and G is the diagonal running from one of the top corners to the opposite bottom corner. In the image above, they are A, B, C, and G. In three dimensions, there are four numbers. Let's extend this idea to three dimensions. In a Pythagorean triangle, and all three sides are whole numbers. Remember the pythagorean theorem, A 2 + B 2 = C 2? The three letters correspond to the three sides of a right triangle. All together, we know the sofa constant has to be between 2.2195 and 2.8284. We also have some sofas that don't work, so it has to be smaller than those. Nobody knows for sure how big it is, but we have some pretty big sofas that do work, so we know it has to be at least as big as them. The largest area that can fit around a corner is called-I kid you not-the sofa constant. What is the largest two-dimensional area that can fit around the corner? Here are the specifics: the whole problem is in two dimensions, the corner is a 90-degree angle, and the width of the corridor is 1. This is the essence of the moving sofa problem. If it's a small sofa, that might not be a problem, but a really big sofa is sure to get stuck. If you're a mathematician, you ask yourself: What's the largest sofa you could possibly fit around the corner? It doesn't have to be a rectangular sofa either, it can be any shape. The problem is, the hallway turns and you have to fit your sofa around a corner. So you're moving into your new apartment, and you're trying to bring your sofa. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s also nice that you can give your clicker finger a break. ![]() I will warn you that this is not a game for children to play as it is too hard for them but I’ve got to tell you that my daughter has loved watching me play it since it was the original Super Granny. This game has quite a ridiculous premise that actually works fantastically well. However, there is nothing as funny and silly in the gaming world as seeing Granny smack a bad guy with a whip or throwing items from her handbag. With that she is able to dig holes to trap the bad guys. ![]() She has a variety of weapons available at times, but most important is her trusty shovel. Super Granny 6, as with its predecessors, has Granny running around gathering all of her kitties while protecting herself from enemies knocking her down. And if it’s been awhile since you played a Super Granny game, this is a great one to come back too. So if you haven’t tried Super Granny yet, give it a shot you’ll be in for a treat. There are some tricky parts, but that’s what we’re here for. As far as I can tell, this game is not incredibly more difficult than other versions. Each storyline stands on its own and doesn’t build on the prior game. Super Granny is not a game series where you need to start at the beginning and work your way up to game 6. This packs that much more fun and challenge into many of the levels. The biggest change to the prior games is the addition of multiple screens in many of the levels. In this edition, Granny will fend off dinosaurs and other unusual animals in various prehistoric environments. Super Granny 6 is a wonderful addition to the Super Granny franchise. This time she heads into a prehistoric world to save her kitties from danger. Super Granny is back in another adventure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Luckily for Ellie, she had elder sister Becky to lead the way. Navigating the gymnastics universe with aspirations to make it on the global stage is an adventure not intended for the faint of heart. Just ask world medalists, and sisters, Becky and Ellie Downie. The full review, which was set up by UK Sport and Sport England in July 2020, is not expected to be completed until after the Tokyo Olympics.To borrow the term “mental gymnastics” and add new context to its meaning, training for any gymnastics event is just as much-if not more-a mindset practice as it is a physical one. The British team in Tokyo will comprise the 2019 European beam champion Alice Kinsella, 20, the 2021 European uneven bars bronze medallist Amelie Morgan, 18, and the identical twins Jennifer Gadirova and Jessica Gadirova, who are 16.Īn ongoing review into abuse by Anne Whyte QC revealed in March that British Gymnastics received 300 complaints a year on average between 20. “I would say it comes as a shock but after how we’ve been treated this year it’s not really,” she tweeted. However, Downie’s sister Ellie, who withdrew herself from consideration following the family tragedy, made her displeasure felt on social media. He added that independent members of the panel had observed the decision, including the BOA and British Athletes Commission, and that Downie’s subsequent appeal had been rejected. Thomas said that Downie had missed out after the number of places in the women’s team went down from five to four, and a decision was made to prioritise all-rounders for the team event rather than those with individual specialities. “For me I’m very confident the team were considered on their gymnastic merits and nothing else,” he said. He also denied that Downie had been punished for speaking out. “The panel viewed that based on current form they hadn’t seen the level of performance required to win a medal.” “Many will have seen some very good performances from Becky in 2019,” he said. ![]() ![]() However, the British Gymnastics performance director, James Thomas, insisted the decision was based purely on merit. With Becky having criticised the culture in British gymnastics, it’s hard not to assume that their motivation in effectively ending her career is a sinister warning to those who might speak out in future.” “It is incomprehensible why the bars specialist has been dropped in a year she achieved a 6.8 SV in training in what has been touted as one of the most difficult routines in the world. “The decision to exclude her from the Tokyo team is a total shock. “Becky Downie is on world-beating form and easily one of the most talented women’s artistic gymnasts of her generation,” its statement said. The decision was immediately condemned by Gymnasts for Change, a group of former gymnasts – including the Olympians Jennifer Pinches and Hannah Whelan – who are making a group-claim lawsuit against British Gymnastics, alleging physical and psychological abuse. However, a selection panel overlooked her for a place on the four-member team and she has not been named among the three reserves. Last month Downie was granted an additional trial following the sudden death of her brother Josh. ![]() |
