![]() The mechanics in place here aren’t the thing that causes Crimson Shroud to really stand out, despite its unique use of tabletop RPG elements that are rarely seen on the surface level of most video games. Overall it's my favourtive 3DS game (but I'm also a big fan of Matsuno's games so take this recommendation with a pinch of salt).Follow the tale of a young “Chaser” named Giauque, as he and his team find themselves drawn into the mystery of the Original Gift, the Crimson Shroud.The combat, while competent, is hardly the selling point of the game. Better stuff costs more points but you also get more of them if you fight better (finish the battle faster and with little damage take, …). BP are used for loot selection after a battle. Bonus dice: you can add these to hit% and damage or, at the end of a fight, trade some of them for more Barter Points.There is also an element based combo system where you have to chain together different element based attack to get bonus dice (it all gets explained in the game). You start each battle with full HP (no need to use curative items outside of it) but you also lose MP for each step outside of battle while gaining MP for actions in battle and taking damage.I really like the art direction but other people did't like it too much and you get a minimum of animation as your characters are displayed as gaming pieces on a little base/stand so when they act they just wiggle around a bit to indicate who is doing what (and they topple over when they lose all their HP). ![]() You get to actually roll virtual dice and they tie into other mechanics of the game.There is a simple behind the scenes EXP system but that gives you only skills and no stats. The combat is intense/involved, even normal enemies can be hard if you don't pay attention and you will need to select your equipment carefully, also your equipment is the only thing affecting your stats.Penny Arcade made a comic about it here.Your weapons have many stats but they don't change stats by fighting and there is only a very simple crafting system. If you have played Vagrant Story (action RPG dungeon crawler) then Crimson Shroud could be described as a simplified JRPG version of this. No shops, it's a dungeon crawler where you get your loot directly from enemies.You don't get much grinding to do, there is one moment in Chapter 2 where they designed something (don't want to spoil stuff) a bit strange and you just need to grind for an specific item which drops totally randomly (and rare).If I remember correctly it costs 8,99€ but it's also a short game (about 8 hours but has a New Game+ mode that works quite ingeniously with the story, it's quite nifty).Here's a link to the soundtrack (warning: youtube auto-plays).It was directed by Yasumi Matsuno (Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story) and has all the usual tropes that can be found in these games (nice pseudo-archaic english translation, adult protagonists, you don't just drop into save the world mode, interesting art direction, great soundtrack).It's a JRPG (turn based combat) with visual novel elements (how the narrative is built) that looks like a tabletop RPG (or Heroquest/similar RPG board games).Here's a nice review of the game and a list by me: Do not include any spoilers in a post title.īrowse these all at once or browse the full directory Use the tag in the beginning of your title and give a general description of its contents.

![]() However the ability to change the seat in so many directions is great. ![]() The seat was at first a … little tight for me the wings on the back do jet out in a way I was unused to. That being said, all of the driver assist and safety functions are great, surrounded by a quiet cabin, comfortable interior, and decent quality surroundings I do not regret my purchase of this car. Before that I have been driving used or older model cars without a lot of trimmings that are standard today. The 2020 Equinox is my first "modern" car purchase. These are available through the Confidence and Convenience II and Infotainment II packages. The latter is worth getting for its power liftgate, heated front seats and blind-spot monitoring.įinally, the range-topping Premier includes the above packages in addition to LED headlights and taillights, a hands-free liftgate, driver-seat memory functions, and wireless device charging.Įven the top-trim Premier leaves some goodies on the table such as a 360-degree parking camera and a premium Bose sound system. The LT offers two notable feature packages: the Infotainment package and the Confidence and Convenience package. Stepping up to the LT gets you xenon headlights, an upgraded information display, auxiliary rear-seat release levers, satellite radio, and a power adjustable driver's seat. The LS Convenience package adds a power-adjustable driver's seat and rear privacy glass. The next-level LS is pricier and adds only a handful of features, though it does open the door to an expanded range of exterior colors and availability of all-wheel drive. Standard safety features include automatic high-beam control, a rearview camera, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning and mitigation. ![]() The L trim is well-equipped, and it comes standard with features such as automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, height-adjustable front seats, Bluetooth, OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and a Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch touchscreen, and a six-speaker audio system. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available on all but the base L model. A more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (252 hp, 260 lb-ft) is optional and comes standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder (170 horsepower, 203 lb-ft of torque) matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Notably, we picked the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox with 2.0T engine as one of Edmunds' Fastest SUVs for 2019. The new Ford Escape is also worth a look and offers more powertrain choices than any other vehicle in the class. The Mazda CX-5 is a pleasure to drive and, like the Equinox, has a powerful optional motor. If you're in the market for a crossover with fewer drawbacks, consider the Honda CR-V, which has more cargo and passenger room, plus a more satisfying 1.5-liter turbo engine. (Thankfully, this is a stand-alone option at all trim levels.) Finally, even moderately sized passengers will balk at the limited rear headroom afforded by the panoramic sunroof. It feels slower than rival powerplants, and its fuel-saving stop-start function is annoying in operation and cannot be disabled. We're also not huge fans of the standard turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. The high cost of entry is a theme that repeats since the Equinox is more expensive than competitors when comparing trims on a feature-by-feature basis. The next-level LS costs thousands more and doesn't add much. It's special-order only, so you're unlikely to find one on a dealer lot. ![]() Don't get thrown off by the seemingly affordable base L trim level, either. The Equinox is priced higher than many of its rivals, for instance. Things, however, fall apart in execution. We also like that the Equinox is one of the few entries in the class that offer an upgraded engine. ![]() It also delivers a smooth, comfortable ride, and the seats are shaped for all-day comfort. There's plenty of legroom all around, and cargo space is definitely better than what you'll find in a comparably priced sedan or hatchback. Certainly, the Chevrolet Equinox does the SUV thing well. ![]() ![]() It also has a fuzzy breakdown (not in a good way) at the end of long ringing notes so I'm pretty sure it needs a cap job. Not that I'm complaining - I don't play bass so this thing makes an awesome guitar amp. ![]() I'd think a bass amp would be a little cleaner than this. If I backed the volume on the guitar down to about 5 with the amp volume around 5, I could get it sort of clean but not what would pass for Fender spanky. It has very little in the way of clean which kind of surprised me. Very touch sensitive with a really rich balance of tone. Man! A Strat on the neck pup does Little Wing like I've never heard (or played) it before. Plugged it in today and let her breath a little. Kind of like Chris Farley used to say "Fat guy in a little coat.". The tiny magnet with the big frame threw me off. You're right of course - not a 15 in there, it's a 12. ![]() I might do it just to post more pics!Īll 3 of the tubes in this are dated 78-28 :: 28th week of 1978. Soooooooooooooooooooo, by the serial number on the chassis & speaker codes can this be dated? Do I need to get the the tranny numbers? From the looks of this, if I open up the chassis it will likely be the first time that's ever happened to this sweetie. Mic it up through the PA with just a hair back through the monitors to fatten it up (not that a 15" Jensen pushing guitar in a power trio needs a lot of fattening up). I gig miced up so I bet this will sound awesome with a Strat or SG, my homemade Bluesbreaker pedal, with the amp's tone on 5 and volume up around 7. Here are some hastily taken shots on my ancient Mavica thrown up on Photobucket. Basically, the story told to me by the seller looks to be 100% correct by the look of the amp in person. Grill is flawless with just the slightest of normal darkening with age (as it should be IMHO). Handle is pristine and all the hardware is dead mint. Faceplate is perfect with maybe 4 scratches from plug inserts and not a single mark anywhere on the printing anywhere. Tolex looks like it's never been touched with just the slightest of lifting on a couple edges in back - probably just from age since there's no fraying to be seen anywhere at all. "Hey - first one's on me!"Īll original looking right down to the Fender labeled tubes & 15" speaker. He was thrilled to learn that I play in a gigging band and his amp will see stage time as a result of the sale. He said it sounds great but he never really learned to use it so someone else should put it to it's intended use. ![]() I drove the 40 miles to his place out in the country and bought it for cash on the spot without even plugging it in. He bought it to learn to play guitar brand new years ago but never did figure out how to play guitar so it's sat in a closet "for years". Guy calls me back and says it works fine but has sat in the closet pretty much since new. The post was about an hour old and I figured it was probably already gone but what the hell. I hit reply & sent a message simply stating "I'll take it" as well as leaving voice mail on both phone numbers listed in the ad. On a whim, I hit the local CL to see what was posted this morning.ĭay-um!!! A SF Musicmaster Bass amp for $100?! I took a personal day off to get some things done like hitting the DMV for replacement plates (oh boy), bank stuff and other errands I never seem to have time for. they hit the speaker.I work 6 days/week every week + play in the band + do some web design work on the side so I don't get a lot of time to myself. One thing tho - I have heard from a few who just want the cab for their own chassis, but the clearances are so close that different transformers probably won't work. Just get a better sound than the stock CTS 12 most all of these had. Rolled off sound or spiky treble with the wide range of the tone control. We added kool tiltback legs, installed a Jensen Neo 12 and found a This is the smallest cab you can stuff a 12 into and it's only 2-3 inches taller than a Champ plus badass back grille cloth w/ white piping. Make a custom one-off cab that’s a few inches shorter than their normalĬhamp cab and the only one like it. So I had the chassis fully restored over $200. And a 12" speaker has it over the Princeton's 10". But it’s not quite up in Princeton range. Gets loud and I am sure has the distortion all goin’ on but haven’t tried it Lo-volume clean players like me, Champ w/ the little 8” speaker just don’t cut itĪnd not loud enough staying in clean range. ![]() Watts is the sweet spot right between 6 w. I realized a while ago that the 2-6AQ5 Musicmaster Bass 9 I spent a smallįortune on all this and won’t nearly break even but that just comes with being a Wear, and junky original speaker in the cheap cab, etc. Sure you can get one of these amps, unserviced, with cosmetic This Musicmaster Bass amp is like no other. ![]() ![]() But, if this does not happen, then you would get a chance to apply to more suitable companies as per your personality. ![]() If the recruiters deem you to be the right fit, then the chances are you might get the job and would enjoy a long and fruitful association with that company.

He was a great student and later studied physics, meteorology and astronomy in Berlin. He was born on the 1st of November 1880 in Berlin, Germany and was the youngest of five children to a clergyman and his wife. He was buried there and is still there, although he is now about two metres further away from his birthplace in Berlin.Alfred Lotha Wagener is best known for his work in geology that led him to propose his theory of Continental Drift. During an expedition in Greenland, he left the camp for supplies and was found frozen months later. But Wegener died in 1930, long before his success was recognised. Today we have all learned at school-or even before, in cartoons-the theory of continental drift. ![]() In addition, thanks to geolocation satellites, we are now able to detect that Europe and North America are moving apart, although at the same speed that a fingernail grows: two metres in a lifetime. This new theory- plate tectonics-also explained that earthquakes and tsunamis occur when two plates rub against one another, and that when they collide head-on, large mountain ranges are formed. ![]() The idea took hold that the Earth’s crust is a jigsaw puzzle of plates, which move as whole pieces and not just the highest parts, the continents. ![]() The 1964 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica still did not believe Wegener, but that year many geologists began siding with him, in view of new evidence. Tests were done, but with the most reliable instruments of the time no movement of the continents was detected. That was like saying that a plough can move on its own and leave no furrows. It is also true that he made some blunders, calculating that Greenland was approaching North America at a rate of 1.6 km each year, and saying that the continents were moving over the seabed but without explaining why. And for geologists he was an outsider who dared to question the foundations of their science, so most of them rejected his ideas with the backing of figures like Einstein, who wrote the prologue to a book that ridiculed Wegener. He was a difficult scientist to pigeonhole. With his multidisciplinary calling, Wegener had started out as an astronomer, being correct when he stated that craters on the Moon are the work of meteorites and not of volcanoes later, he combined meteorological studies in Greenland with his geological theories, and did not have a steady job until after the age of 40, when an Austrian University created a post for him. Nobody had thought of relating all these facts, but Wegener saw in them the evidence of continental drift, thanks to his interest in different sciences. For Wegener this was only possible if the current continents were once concentrated around the equator forming a supercontinent, which broke apart some 200 million years ago and which he called Pangaea. Pangea, the supercontinentīut no matter how many bridges were dreamt up, the most renowned geologists were unable to explain why in Africa there are marking of glaciers or why near the North Pole there are remains of tropical vegetation in the form of coal. He found research on identical fossils on the coasts of Africa and South America, something for which geologists, convinced that the world map was immutable, had offered a more implausible explanation: land bridges that had vanished after permitting animals and plants to travel from one continent to another. Alfred Wegener (1 November 1880 – November 1930) looked for other connections. Thanks to his hypothesis, any child today knows that the continents are slowly moving and were joined together at the time when the dinosaurs appeared.Įver since the appearance of the first world maps, many people had noticed how well Brazil fits snugly under the belly of Africa. If this sounds shocking today, you should put yourself in the shoes of geologists back in 1912, who were much more troubled when a 32-year-old German meteorologist, Alfred Wegener, launched his theory of continental drift. And also how Africa will merge with Europe, with the Mediterranean disappearing and a mountain range emerging in its place to compete with the Himalayas-although Everest and its neighbouring mountains will still continue to rise. If there were a “geographical forecast”, analogous to the predictions of meteorologists, it would show how over the next 100 million years the Atlantic Ocean will continue to expand, until it is much larger than the Pacific. ![]() ![]() Then check out the competition - Sebulba and Gasgano. ![]() And it's your job to help him!

If your skin is on the drier side, or you prefer a dewy finish, opt for a setting powder with hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid. As Zeinali notes, "People are normally the oiliest in their T-zone." ![]() Those with combination skin types can use a similar formula, though they may only want to apply the powder to shinier areas. If you have oily skin, you'll want to look for a highly absorbent, talc-free setting powder that keeps shine at bay.

Other than that, it's mostly a matter of preference. If you have particularly oily skin and are looking to control shine, look for something that delivers a mattifying effect.

Many formulas also contain various minerals like zinc, calcium silicate, and iron oxide, which can offer complexion-enhancing benefits. ![]() Bear in mind that talc can be hit or miss with oily skin, so you might want to steer clear to avoid caking and creasing.
