![]() ![]() ![]() Mass Effect 2 releases for the PS3 on January 18th in the US and the 21st in the UK. Xbox 360 owners, how do you feel about the Mass Effect 2 PS3 port using the Mass Effect 3 engine? Do you think it’s a clever marketing ploy to encourage double dipping or will it really make a difference? Pack in some DLC to sweeten the package and gamers have all they need for a solid gameplay experience. The interactive comic fills them in on the back-story of the first game and the second game sets the stage for the final title in this trilogy’s arc. Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 is going to be the perfect starting point for every gamer to get on the same page. At the time of this writing (August 2021) it. Instead the game got a free demo and later, on the 12th of March 2020, entered early access. Initially slated for release in the summer of 2019 on PC through Steam, but got delayed. Though most of these fixes came to Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox 360, having them installed from the start should certainly up the fun factor, especially in the mining department. The Black Masses is an upcoming game from Brilliant Game Studios, the developer behind Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. Things like planet scanning have been improved, we've rolled in all the patches, done a ton of bug fixing." "The controls are geared to the PS3 controller, you can switch it back to the old Xbox 360 style controls if you'd like. Houston was also happy to announce that BioWare didn’t stop at improving the visuals for the port but also tried to tighten the experience for the PS3 player saying: There have been no serious looks at Mass Effect 2 in action, but expect to get a better idea when the demo releases very soon. ![]() It might not be the exact look gamers will eventually see in the multi-platform Mass Effect 3, but it should provide something for PS3 gamers to hold over Microsoft supporters’ heads for a while. We took the content, the story, all the other assets that made Mass Effect 2, and we put it into the Mass Effect 3 engine. We actually created the engine for Mass Effect 3 and then used that to make Mass Effect 2 PS3. "One of the first things you're going to see is improved graphics. Houston went on to describe exactly what improvements gamers can expect in the PS3 port: While BioWare had before announced that Mass Effect 2 would carry an improved look, Houston dropped a bomb when he announced that said improved look will come as a result of the game being run on the Mass Effect 3 engine. To provide some solace for gamers, producer Jesse Houston revealed that the game has gone gold and will be featuring some vast improvements as compared to its Xbox 360 counterpart. P>In just over a month the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 will hopefully be hitting store shelves. ![]()

![]() The animated feature "Finding Nemo" swept the box office last summer, and audiences of all ages and critics alike were overwhelmed by how a seemingly simple story had made such a splash. Reviewed by Ann Millett, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ![]() ![]() Written by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds based on a story by Andrew Stanton. Directed by Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Lee Unkrike. Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios. Blue tangs should be fed a minimum of three times per week."Other" Fish in the Sea: "Finding Nemo" as an Epic Representation of Disability On their preferred diet, blue tangs stay much healthier, with improved immune systems and reduced aggression. They will eat meat-based foods as theyre fed to other fish in the tank, but this should not be their primary source of nutrition. Feeding Blue Tangsīlue tangs thrive best on marine-based seaweed and algae. Second, if youre going to introduce multiple blue tangs to your tank, try to introduce them all at the same time. First, the tank should be large enough to support all the fish in it: dont overcrowd the tank in an effort to fit in just one more friend. Two key things are recommended in order to minimize aggressive behavior. With other blue tangs, however, they can show some aggressive behavior that can be troublesome for both the owner and the fish. They get along well with a variety of other fish and can be incorporated into a large tank environment. Typically, blue tangs arent known for showing a great deal of aggressive behavior. But if youre an aquarium enthusiast, and youre willing to spend the high prices needed to maintain an exotic tank, blue tang fish could be a viable option. Even DisneyPixar recommends that beginning fish owners are better off with a freshwater aquarium, rather than a saltwater one. For this reason, its not recommended that beginners choose this tank for their first aquarium. The installation of saltwater tanks of the appropriate size for blue tangs alone is extremely expensive, and upkeep on saltwater tanks of that size can quickly become cost-prohibitive. They do, however, love to have great hiding places like live rocks or coral. An overcrowded tank is very uncomfortable for these fish. Its also important to note that a blue tangs tank should be kept open and reasonably free of obstructions so theyll be able to swim freely. A 200-gallon tank is highly recommended for these fish, who love to roam and need plenty of room to swim. In order to have adequate space to swim and grow, a school of blue tangs requires a tank that is a minimum of 90 to 120 gallons. Though theyre often picked up as small as a single inch when theyre in the wild, they grow quickly, outgrowing smaller tanks rapidly.īlue tangs typically live in pairs or in groups of up to ten to twelve fish. Before you know it, they can grow from tiny creatures into 12-inch fish. Unlike clownfish, however, blue tangs grow to a very large size. Like clownfish, blue tangs are saltwater fish and require a saltwater tank. If you are looking to bring home a blue tang, heres what you need to know. ![]() Still, it is something to keep in mind when choosing a fish. If demand for the blue tang doesnt grow large enough to significantly impact populations of the fish in the ocean, adopting one wont be an issue. The only problem is, scientists havent figured out how to breed the blue tang in captivity like they did with the clownfish, so, once again, population depletion is a major concern. Finding Nemo‘s sequel, Finding Dory, is out in theaters, and now people are clamoring to have their own, ∽ory, the titular blue tang fish. Luckily, scientists found a way to breed clownfish in captivity, and disaster was averted.įast forward 13 years and were facing a similar issue. As sales of clownfish went through the roof, concern grew that the clownfish population would be depleted. One of the most popular DisneyPixar movies, 2003s Finding Nemo, didnt just wow movie-goers, it also inspired hundreds of people to go out and get their own Nemo, the titular orange clownfish. Who doesnt enjoy a good DisneyPixar movie?įor years, these movies have been redefining animation, bringing amazing visuals and engaging stories to the silver screen. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless of what mode you play, the fundamentals are generally the same. ![]() I love that the latter is included – I wasted years of my life playing random skirmishes in Command & Conquer over the years and always search it out in my strategy titles. There’s also scenario generator, where you can choose the terms of the conflict you’re going into and finally there’s random map, which throws you into a randomly generated area and leaves you to your own devices. Scenario mode lets you play pre-set maps as each leader, which is effectively the story mode for lack of a better alternative. It’s first worth me explaining what’s on offer here. There’s some quite nice chill music in the background too, but you’ll rarely hear it over the jibberish talking and funny sound effects that play as units move (I particularly loved the spy’s xylophone tiptoeing as they skulk around the map which never failed to make me chuckle).Īs part of the 4X sub genre of strategy games (which stands for “explore, expand, exploit, exterminate”), Civilization Revolution 2 Plus condenses the experience to fit onto a console, but in my opinion loses none of the thrill of gameplay making for an absolute treat on Vita. At least when combat loads it’s a hilarious treat – pikemen wave their spears in the air when victorious, spy v spy battles turn into a comical jabbing match and seeing your opponents threaten you is hilarious rather than intimidating. It was never enough to be an issue but just felt it was worth mentioning here. There were also small stutter-y loading screens when things were loading in game, most notably before battles were initiated. The main menu on the flip side was sleekly designed and worked well, plus advisor text is easy to read on the whole. The UI is mainly shown with icons rather than words which makes it difficult to decipher what everything does early on, likely a holdover of its mobile roots where there’s limited screen space for everything to fit (I prefer this approach to trying to cram the whole of a PC port on a handheld screen though). I did have a couple of issues with the presentation. ![]() Again, I loved it – it’s simplistic but gets the job done and retains that charming cartoon vibe that the characters have. It resembles a board game more than the epic large scale battles of an RTS, with armies being shown as individual units and huge towns showing their influence with coloured tiles. The in game screen is a bright mix of green plains, blue seas with different terrain elements like beige mountains and icy blue glaciers depending on where you are on the map. They feature big eyes and exaggerated limbs that give them less of a harsh edge and they’ll talk in gibberish not dissimilar to The Sims, which lends the game a brilliant charm that I’m sure loads of people will hate but I personally loved. You’ll instantly recognise them – Ghandi has a bald head and robes, whereas Condoleezza Rice wears power suits and constantly grasps her hands together. So the characters here, based on real-world leaders and advisors, have had a vibrant re-design. While you can tell its roots as a mobile title, thanks to cartoony characters and colourful visuals, there’s plenty to love graphically in Civilization Revolution 2 Plus. It’s a perfect mix of ideas that’s executed well. I really liked that Civilization tries to teach you about real world events through the Civilopedia as you uncover artefacts while playing, but equally leaves you to your own devices otherwise. You can either follow their individual pre-crafted scenarios that teach you a little more about the nation’s place in history, or dive into a random map where you’ll be placed against four opponents and can create your own legacy through conquest or diplomacy. There’s no real story included here, instead giving you free-form gameplay to craft your own tale as one of a variety of world leaders ranging from Cleopatra to Napoleon to John F Kennedy (plus new additions for this port including Himiko and Nobunaga). Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see a nation through from its birth to complete victory over its enemies? Thanks to Civilization Revolution 2 Plus on Vita, you can! ![]() ![]() An example of the former is provided by a substantial copper coin of Abydus portraying the story of Hero and Leander (fig. The magnificent Sylloge of his collection, the most significant portion of which compri (.)ģThe numismatic tenor of the times has been explored, for the third century, by Kenneth Harl, who drew upon more technical numismatic studies of the likes of Hans von Aulock and Konrad Kraft in drawing a picture of a local populace that at once asserted its individual character and its participation in empire through its coinage 1.ĤThe typical “Greek imperial” may include a portrait of the emperor on its obverse, but almost always refers to local religion, history or culture on its reverse and may promote the interests of the issuers as well. The broad phenomenon is mirrored in other kinds of sources, from Dio Chrysostom to Pliny to Dio Cassius, the senatorial historian from Nicomedia: even as more of the local gentry assimilated and became vital to the social and economic fabric of the empire at large – in short, became Romans – they continued to proclaim their hellenism with vigor, as much in their coins as in their inscriptions, their monuments and their literature. It both was a component, and for us a reflection, of the local pride in institutions and eagerness for self-promotion that subsisted at both a local and a regional level. Alongside the denarius system were hundreds of coinages, struck by different authorities and primarily in base metal, that allowed the denarial mints to restrict their activity principally to the west.ĢWestern local coinages had been suppressed already by the time of Nero, but in the eastern provinces an increasingly vital tradition of local coinages reached its zenith in the third century. ![]() But anyone who has ventured beyond the pages of Coins of the Roman Empire in the British Museum or Roman Imperial Coinage knows that there was more to the picture than this. From one end of the Mediterranean to the other – even Egypt, which was formally outside the system until the reform of Diocletian – we can find accounts kept, sums denominated, and hoards deposited in good Roman currency: aurei, denarii, sestertii and their fractions. It survived in recognizable form for three centuries, finally perishing in early AD 293. That system, devised in 23 BC included a series of denominations in four metals, fixed in relationship to one another. Sakellariou, 1904).1In the first three centuries of our era the currency system of the Mediterranean was the largest and most stable the world had ever known.

For this reason, I determined to show it to my colleagues at University College London (UCL), preceded by a short talk about ‘bridging the gender empathy gap’.ĭecember the 8th 2021 is the fifth anniversary of the first showing of The Red Pill at UCL in 2016. (Incidentally, the term ‘red pill’ is borrowed from the film The Matrix, and refers to the idea of choosing to swallow a red pill in order to be able to see reality clearly instead of seeing only an illusory version of reality).Īlthough this film has been written about in the mainstream media in a way that has smeared it in controversy, in my opinion, watching it should be a routine part of the training programmes of clinical psychologists and other therapists, most of whom have little or no realistic training in how do deal specifically with male clients. Unfortunately the field of psychology has been slow to take notice of this issue in relation to men, despite calls for it to do so, and despite the development of possible solutions, such as Martin Seager’s ‘Man Talk’ workshop series, which has received little attention.īut there is potentially a barrier intrinsic to addressing this issue: if the empathy gap is an evolved cognitive distortion shared by all people, is there any realistic way we can overcome it? One possible answer is demonstrated to us in The Red Pill, which is a documentary record, and a powerful real-world demonstration, of how the gender empathy gap can be bridged. In fact this is a very important issue for therapists of all kinds, because empathy for your client is key to developing a good ‘therapeutic alliance’, which in turn has consistently been found to contribute to successful outcomes from therapy. when someone is a victim of violence, their gender is more likely to be highlighted if they are female.Īs can be guessed, the gender empathy gap is a problem that effects everyone, psychologists included. This evolved tendency might also partly explain the cognitive distortion called gamma bias, the tendency to magnify some gender differences while simultaneously minimising other gender differences e.g. Thus feeling less empathy for men could be a psychological defence which evolved to protect people against being overloaded with grief for men’s suffering. This relates to how it is normal for men more than women to risk their lives to protect the community and to perform dangerous work, and thus it is normal that we sense that men more likely than women to be routinely injured or killed. Warren Farrell proposed the notion of ‘ male disposability’. ![]() There are probably evolutionary reasons for the existence of the gender empathy gap. Note that if the group identity is supporting a specific football team or serving in a particular combat unit, men show the ‘in-group favouritism’ typical of other group identities, but men don’t tend to help other men just because they are men. This means both men and women tend to prioritise the needs of women more than men. The difference between the degree of empathy for men and women has become known as the ‘ empathy gap’.Įxperimental research in social psychology since the 1970s has found that people tend to favour other people if they are of the same group identity, but since 2004 we have known that male identity is the exception to this rule. Empathy has become a topic relevant to male psychology, with various commentators highlighting everyday examples of a of men receiving less empathy than women, even when they experience the same type of problem. ![]() At the heart of The Red Pill is an important lesson: it is possible for people to increase their empathy for men.ĭeveloping one’s capacity for empathy is an important part of a person’s social and emotional development, and is linked to helping others and having good relationships. 75% of suicides are male mental health issues due to child access and family court issues) and need help with them. The documentary film The Red Pill follows the psychological development of Cassie Jaye, feminist and Hollywood actress, from being initially sceptical about the good intentions of the men’s rights movement, to someone who begins to see through the myths about men’s rights being about misogyny, until eventually she realises that many men are genuinely facing serious problems (e.g. ![]() ![]() ![]() You need to fly and meet him in orbit of the planet.

Cat paws help a kitty sweat Cats sweat through their paw pads. Kittens typically begin grooming with their front paws before they’re 4 weeks old. Usually after a few paw swipes, they pause to lick and moisten their paws again and repeat the process. They accomplish this by first licking their paw several times and then wiping it on those areas that they can’t directly lick.

Cats paws help with grooming Cats groom themselves with their paws. They also help cats move and hunt silently. Paw pads cushion and soften landings when cats jump and when they walk on rough ground. Cat paws act as shock absorbersĪnother job that cat paws excel at is acting as shock and sound absorbers. This is why cats sometimes get stuck up in trees. Additionally, front legs and paws are weaker than their more muscular back legs. Cats back down trees because their front claws face in the wrong direction for a head-first downward climb. Although this is handy for climbing up trees, it doesn’t help with the descent. This helps them maintain stability as well as pull them up and around branches. One of the reasons cats are so adept at climbing up trees is because their front paws are designed to turn inward in order to sink claws into branches. The ability to bend and turn helps felines climb and hunt. Cat paws are flexibleĬat paws are incredibly flexible. The soft pads are not insulated and can be severely injured by hot pavements, frozen sidewalks and ragged surfaces. Although cat paw pads are strong enough to protect cats against some environmental damage, they are very sensitive to temperature, pressure and pain. Because of these receptors, cats feel texture, pressure and possibly vibrations through their paw pads, helping them evaluate the liveliness and close proximity of their prey. They contain large concentrations of nerve receptors, making them finely tuned sensory organs that aid in hunting and maintaining balance. Those little cat paw pads are extremely sensitive. There’s a reason why most cats object to those adorable cat paws being rubbed and fiddled with. Cats are also quieter on their toes, making it harder for prey to detect them. Walking and running on toes ups the odds of having a successful hunt by boosting speed and lengthening the strides. That means they navigate through their world on tippy toes.
