![]() ![]() I suspect Josh Sawyer (who is about my age) felt the same and that's why we have that unusual ending. But as the most probable "default" ending? Nah. I mean if it would have been one of many possible outcomes: fine with me. ![]() I actually found it kind of refreshing to have a somewhat surprising yet anticlimactic ending and not the typical "you're important and you get it all" stuff. ![]() I don't watch the same kinds of movies anymore. But I don't read the kinds of books nowadays that I read back then. I was much younger and liked that "I'm so special" treatment. That was cool when it happened with Ultima IX or Throne of Bhaal or something back then. That would be the same as usual (in fantasy CRPGs) and feels a bit like an appeal to everybody's secret delusions of grandeur. I think an ending where you absorb the souls would have been really cool. Still though, I think an ending where you absorb the souls would have been really cool. I thought the skeletons in the machine Eothas was punching were Kith but they were artificial constructs built and jammed with souls. Their atheist's believe the Gods are jerks and we should do away with them" which is how the atheist replies in this game always are.Īs for the other part you are correct. I specifically said in the beginning " atheism in this world is not the same as ours. I get the feeling that he is also atheist, since he obviously understands that they exist, but doesn't worship or think people needs them. My PC never insists they don't exist. Obviously "gods" exist in this world. Whenever the "atheism" icon shows up for Xoti or Eder, it's because I either insulted them or insisted that we don't need them. ![]() Ok so throughout both games, every single "atheist" comment that the PC makes, it's basically denouncing and insulting the Gods, not insisting they don't exist. On another note, why would people generally entertain the thought when priests in Eora have, you know, distinct magical powers. And the majority of those that do are probably due some "mysterious circumstances" from the Leaden Key or the Hand Occult. Anyway, you realize like 99.9% of the world has no hard evidence that the gods are fake. Besides, I am sure there's an actual word for wanting to get rid of gods that doesn't need to be a kind of not believing in them. Iovara's movement was about the gods being fakes, not about their attitudes. Options are: do you want to do this God's errand, this God's errand, or end the world completely. I really thought that the game would let you take vengeance on these JERKS (all the gods are jerks, every single one and they all deserve to be smitten) Nope. I really thought that with the revelation about the Gods being created through absorbing kith souls, it was setting up a scenario where we absorb the souls and become a god, just as Engwithans sacrificed souls to make themselves the Gods. I thought that would be an option. But no, no matter how atheist my character is, no matter how much I piss off my party members by bad talking the gods, at the end of the day my character is an errand boy to the gods. So what? Why even include it in this game? I thought there was going to be a badass ending in POE1 where you absorb the souls and become a god yourself and smite the other gods (like age of decadence). Their atheist's believe the Gods are jerks and we should do away with them. What is the point of atheism in this game besides making Xoti mad a few times? I understand that atheism in this world is not the same as ours. ![]() ![]() ![]() If a player lands on the last property while it’s in the Free Parking pool they may not buy it. The next player to land on Free Parking wins the property. The last property to be sold is placed into the center of the board as soon as the penultimate property is purchased. I would suggest starting with paying $20 into the pool each time you pass Free Parking. Adding larger amounts is more fun, but it can make the game more luck-based rather than skill-based. With this rule, you may wish to experiment with different amounts. ![]() When a player lands on Free Parking, they collect the cash. When a player passes Free Parking without landing on it, they must pay a set amount into the pool. If you did that, the game would become much more about luck and less about skill in other areas. This is a significant amount of money, so you probably wouldn’t want to play this in combination with collecting fines in the Free Parking pool. One $500 bill, one $100 bill, one $50 bill, one $20 bill, one $10 bill, one $5 bill, and one $1 bill adds up to a healthy jackpot of $686. When a player lands on the Free Parking space, they collect one of each bill from the bank. When a player lands on Free Parking and claims the reward, you immediately refill the pool with another $100 bill and continue to use it to collect money from fines. To do this, you place $100 from the bank into the center of the board at the start of the game, in addition to adding any money paid from fines. You can play the $100 Rule in combination with the Cash Rule if you wish. When a player lands on the Free Parking space they may collect $100 from the bank. Others return them to the deck after use and only place cash into Free Parking.īefore you play Monopoly with this extra rule, you must also decide whether players moving out of jail are entitled to the Free Parking jackpot or not. Some players choose to put used ‘Get Out Of Jail Free’ cards into the Free Parking pool. ![]() This gives the player collecting the money a lifeline when funds are low, or a huge cash injection to help build houses and hotels on existing properties.Īs there is more and more Monopoly money in the middle of the board, the game can sometimes become a race to land on Free Parking and claim the pot of cash. This cash pool can be as low as $15 from a speeding fine, but can easily exceed $1,000. When a player lands on Free Parking, they collect it all. Free Parking Cash RuleĪll money paid in fines and taxes from Chance or Community Chest cards, or from paying to get out of jail, is placed in the middle of the board.

Suggested read: 16 Little-known Monopoly Rules That Everyone Gets Wrong The Official Monopoly Free Parking Rules Whichever version you choose, it’s important to always agree on the rules before starting the game to avoid arguments. While not everyone deviates from the official rules, these alternative ways to play Monopoly can add variety and a ‘wildcard’ element that keeps the game feeling fresh and exciting. Such is the popularity of the Free Parking cash rule, that in 2015 Monopoly creators Hasbro added it as an optional rule into the game guide.Īs well as this commonly-played Free Parking cash rule, there are a number of other variations that have become popular over the years. However, many players use a Free Parking ‘House Rule’ whereby all fines are collected in the middle of the board and are claimed by anyone who lands on the Free Parking space. What happens when you land on Free Parking in Monopoly?Īccording to the official Monopoly rules, when you land on Free Parking absolutely nothing happens. ![]() ![]() Then we sort of refocused on, “How do we make sure that we tell every story we can with them with the time we have?” And then if we are ever lucky to have future spinoffs, we will have to be clever enough to find a new story. There was a bunch of times, especially Seasons 2, 3 and 4, when we were saw all of the potential of these characters. Especially once we made Maze a bounty hunter, all that stuff, we fantasy-created that show in our heads. I mean, honestly, especially early on, yes - and then one of the big things we focused on making sure we told as much story with all of our characters, knowing this was our one shot, as possible, and then finishing the season and then discussing any spinoffs after. JOE | There are always talks about spinoffs…. One, was there once talk of a Maze spinoff? TVLINE | I’ve heard two things on the grapevine I want to run by you. JOE | I have one other: An entire episode of just Lucifer and Father Frank (played by Colman Domingo) playing dueling pianos the entire time. Or, the thing that used to do in the ’70s and ’80s is go to Hawaii! I feel like the Lucifer cast in Hawaii would be goofy. It’s all centaur people there, is what we always said. ![]() ILDY | I wouldn’t have minded going to Mom’s World where Mom and God are now, and save some horrible situation from happening there. The problem is that Kevin Rankin is a very busy man because he’s a very excellent actor, but as our first villain, that would have been great to explore. JOE | I would love to do an episode where we revisited Malcom’s character from Season 1 (corrupt homicide detective Malcolm Graham), because Kevin Rankin was a great actor and actually there were a couple times we came close to revisiting the character in Hell in some way. TVLINE | If I had a genie and could give you one extra episode… what would it be about? ILDY | “He f–king shot me.” What was funny, too, is that our actors were like, “Hey, we’re on Netflix!” So even if it wasn’t even in the script half the time, they’d just be like, “I really think I should say ‘F–k you’ here.” Then they’d say it and we’d just go, “I think we shouldn’t use it here.” That’s where the genesis of us finally using it in Season 5 came from, us going, “OK, if we’re going to make this a very special thing, how do we hear it in the least special way possible?” - in as much as it’s just Lucifer being as petty as possible. So, we wanted to sort of maintain that tone and that world while also still playing with our new toys. JOE | We should pitch it to Matt as a “deleted scene”! In Season 4, we played around a lot with saying f–k because it was sort of that question of, “How edgy are we, how dark are we?” So, we have a bunch of deleted scenes of the actors dropping F-bombs almost everywhere, because what we realized is we’ve got three seasons of show that consistently doesn’t use that word, and also we have a show that people do unexpectedly watch with their family. ILDY | We did have that orgy scene that we cut. TVLINE | In all your time on Netflix, was there anything you ever pulled back on even though maybe you didn’t have to, like language or sexuality? Episode 3 is 42 minutes, which is just under the network run, and Episode 8 is an hour five, I think. Not the shortest ever, but it might be the shortest ever. JOE | It’s funny, Season 6 has the shortest and longest episode. TVLINE | Especially with your unlimited Netflix running time! We were wracking our brains trying to remember what we cut because we used almost everything. There’s a couple great shots of Lesley Ann in her awesome costume with the blue contacts and everything. TVLINE | Is there any Maze goodness among them? but in particular it’s an episode that has a bit of talkiness to it, so I think it was “momentum trims” to keep things moving forward. They’re a little more texture, a little more character. There are three scenes from that, and they’re good scenes, too. JOE | They all came from Episode 8, “Save the Devil, Save the World” (the “bottle episode” in which Lucifer & Co. These just happen to be longer scenes that were deleted. I think that in the case of Episode 8, which is where the scenes are cut from, they were just big enough to actually be their own deleted scenes, but so often when you’re sort of going through the connective tissue of episodes, you’re trimming the tops and bottoms of them when you realize you don’t necessarily need as much to set up where you’re going.

I have seen people make reference the "PROCESS procedure created by Preacher and Hayes" or the "Preacher and Hayes PROCESS macro" (or similar language), citing our 2004 or 2008 papers published in Behavior Research Methods. If you have this paper archived on the internet somewhere where it is publicly accessible, you'd do the world a service by removing it as its presence is causing confusion in many. I stopped circulating this paper in 2013, and it is now outdated and not a sensible citation for PROCESS since it corresponds to version 2. Unfortunately, many people cite a 2012 white paper I wrote that you will find circulating online that has been posted in various places without my permission. These mistakes are easily avoided by reading the documentation. I have seen many instances of researchers reporting results from the output of PROCESS that are inconsistent with what PROCESS actually is doing. It may not be doing what you think it is doing. I don't recommend using PROCESS without familiarity with what it does, described in the book. ![]() Good academic practice is to cite something only if you have actually read it and are familiar with its content. Question: How do I cite PROCESS in a manuscript or publication?Īnswer: The official documentation for PROCESS is Introduction to Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional Process Analysis. ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s not to say that the game is bad or unplayable when not on the TV, it’s simply that it is not the ideal way to see what this game has to offer. The precise nature of the combat also lent itself better to a more traditional controller configuration. ![]() The game is perfectly functional when played in handheld mode and the art still looks nice, but the art–especially when Thora is a blip on the screen–is much more enjoyable on a large television. It doesn’t add much to the game, but it does provide a fun bonus for anyone looking to get the most out of those fights.Īnd as this is the first time the game is being released on Switch it obviously offers an entirely new way to play the game. If you really want to test yourself, they are truly difficult (the original versions of the fights were already tough) and the game will then keep track of how quickly you were able to best these variants. This mode just lets you square off against more difficult versions of the boss fights. This Valhalla Edition of the game then also offers Valhalla Mode which unlocks after you finish the story. The fights start calm and slowly build to a harried frenzy of smaller enemies and huge area-of-effect attacks that slowly whittle away at your health. Fighting the more difficult bosses is a culmination of your ability to utilize all of those mechanics while also wrestling with the dangers all around you in the boss arena. In combat, Thora has a light attack, a heavy charged attack, and her god abilities that you’ll unlock by praying at statues of the gods. Outside of their impressive stature and incredible animation they all offer a fun and finely-tuned challenge.Įven though she is barely visible, you never lose control of Thora. It is those boss fights against the titular jotun that make the game worth playing though. It’s a shame because Jotun’s ability to scale its art from a close-up on the player character to an enormous vista or towering boss encounter that dwarves her on screen is stunning. Once you’ve taken in the art–which, admittedly, is striking and unique in each area–it begins to wear on you as you slog through the maze-like levels with little to do outside of avoiding environmental hazards. It mostly serves as a distraction where you can find useful new abilities for use in the boss fights. Exploring the varied environments can be interesting, and is often breathtaking, but where the game falters is in providing a compelling gameplay reason to navigate these areas. ![]() You explore the five areas inside Ginnungagap that each house a different jotun, enormous elemental giants that reside at the end of the areas you’ll be trekking through. ![]() When she dies an inglorious death, she is cast into the void called Ginnungagap where she must again strive to prove herself, this time to the gods so that she can reach Valhalla and live up to the standards she feels she’s failed to meet. Hers is a journey for acceptance and validation, the former from her father as a proven warrior and the latter as the younger sister living in her brother’s shadow. You play as Thora, a woman whose life is defined by her father naming her for the god of thunder. Rarely is Thora this close, but her hand-drawn style is consistent with all the art in the game. ![]() ![]() I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)ġ1. ![]() As well as in United States, the album and the first single, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)," were hits worldwide, topping the charts in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and mainland Europe.ġ.

Its first four singles-" I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", " Didn't We Almost Have It All," " So Emotional" and " Where Do Broken Hearts Go"-all peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her the first female artist to achieve that feat.

The album remained at the top for eleven consecutive weeks, creating a record the most cumulative weeks (25 weeks) at number one on the albums chart by a female artist during the 1980s. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart the issue of June 27, 1987, becoming the first album by a female artist, and only the fifth album by a solo artist to do so.

Read on only if you’ve read the other books. Warning: Contains spoilers from the other books. They dive so humanity survives… but will they survive the ultimate betrayal? When a mysterious distress signal calls the Hell Divers to the surface, Michael and his loyal team begin to uncover long-buried truths and the secrets Captain Jordan will do anything to keep. But unrest stirs under his strict leadership as a prophecy of hope sweeps the lower decks. While Michael dives to help keep the Hive in the air, Captain Leon Jordan rules with an iron fist at the helm of the ship. Michael Everheart - the boy once known as Tin - has grown into a man and the commander of Hell Diver Raptor Team. Those he left behind went on without him aboard the airship he once called home. Ten years ago, Hell Diver Xavier “X” Rodriguez fell to Earth. Now waiting anxiously for it to be released. Is this book as good as the first one? Hell yes! And I’ve already pre-ordered the third one. And the character’s grab hold of you and won’t let go. Suspense has you chewing your fingernails. Man, I hope they make these books into movies. And…what horrors waited below, on the surface. When disaster strikes the sister ship and a risky rescue is attempted, no one could have foreseen what was to come. They don’t have much of a life expectancy and recruits are always needed. It’s many years later and there’s some new divers in town. ![]() I got all silly, talking out loud to myself about how good this was going to be. But there’s something down there that’s far worse than the mutated creatures discovered on dives in the past-something that threatens the fragile future of humanity.Īfter the ending for the first book, which nearly killed me, I was clapping my hands in stupid glee when I read the beginning for this second book. When one of the two surviving airships is damaged in an electrical storm, a Hell Diver team is deployed to a hostile zone called Hades. Enter the Hell Divers-men and women who risk their lives by diving to the surface to scavenge for parts that keep their homes in the air. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to earth long ago. More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search for a habitable area to call home. While there, I went ahead and pre-ordered the third book. Say it isn’t so! I had to know what would happen next and rushed right over to grab the next book. While I try not too choose a favorite character so I can enjoy them all, one just wouldn’t stop popping into my head. And I used my imagination and several movies to visualize the story. Real life characters, danger and action leaping off the pages, and some nasty mutant creatures. This had everything I could have hoped for. If they make it to the surface without being fried by lightning, they have to worry about the mutant life forms that now call the planet theirs. From the moment they jump they have to worry about massive storms. They make dangerous dives to the planet to scour for anything that could be used to keep the ships afloat. The remains of humanity reside is large air ships that are slowly falling apart. The Earth is now scorched and uninhabitable. ![]() Genre: Science Fiction / Post Apocalyptic It’s actually two books from the Hell Divers Series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith.

Idioms such as ‘be-all and end-all’ and ‘one fell swoop’ - both from Macbeth - and the ‘unkindest cut of all’, which appeared in Julius Caesar, might never have entered the popular lexicon if not for this literary masterpiece. Margaret Ford, Christie’s International Head of Books & Manuscripts in London, says the exhibition will not only tell the story of the Folio’s publication, ‘but by bringing together multiple copies, it will chronicle the life of one of the most important books printed across the centuries’. It will be the largest exhibition of First Folios ever assembled in the United Kingdom (surpassing the display of four copies at the British Library a century ago). To mark the 400th anniversary of their publication, Christie’s is bringing together six copies of the First Folio and exhibiting them from 2 to. The folio edition contains 36 plays, including 17 that were printed during his lifetime, one that was printed after his death, and 18 that might otherwise have been lost - among them Macbeth, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure and Julius Caesar. Published 400 years ago, in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare’s death, the First Folio brought together the author’s collected plays for the first time. Oft-quoted, imitated, and acted on stages throughout the world, many of the words of Shakespeare could have been lost for ever had it not been for John Heminge and Henry Condell, the writer’s friends and fellow actors, who compiled Mr William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, often referred to as the ‘First Folio’. ![]() ![]() No one in history has had such a colossal impact on English literature and language as William Shakespeare. ![]() |
