![]() There are nice options for international news, though, and we like that you can satisfy your appetite for local news in either Spanish or English. News and politics: 4/5 You can find a lot of political commentary from both the left and the right on YouTube TV, but you won’t find Newsmax or Vice, or any C-SPAN channels (which are common with most traditional TV providers). We also really like the Curiosity Stream add-on for educational documentaries and the Hopster Learning add-on for little kids. You will miss out on favorites like Science and History, but you get multiple Disney and Nickelodeon options and a dedicated channel for PBS Kids. That said, you can watch and DVR games in 4K if you get the unlimited add-on for about $10 a month.įamily and education: 4/5 YouTube TV has a lot to offer for kids and anyone interested in using their screen time to learn about the world. ![]() No MLB coverage is disappointing (2), and you’ll miss out on some regional major league games, even with the sports add-on. It comes with NFL RedZone, live poker and billiards, OutsideTV+, and FOX Soccer. We also like that you get your local channels, TNT, USA Network, and more, and the sports add-on is nice for the price. (1) Beyond pig skins, we love that NBA TV and the Golf Channel are included with the base channel price. Having the option to buy NFL Sunday Ticket is fantastic, with regular prices of $349–$389 per season for YouTube TV subscribers and $449-$489 if you just want the football and not live TV. Sports: 4/5 There are some things we love for sports fans with YouTube TV, and others we really dislike. However, you won’t find Antenna TV, and Estrella TV is available only as an add-on. ![]() You even get multiple Spanish-language local channels with YouTube TV. Local: 4/5 YouTube TV carries almost all your local networks, unlike competitor Philo, and even offers PBS, unlike Hulu + Live TV. We think YouTube TV is a good option if you want a classic live TV experience with a solid on-demand library, but we have a couple minor complaints. YouTube TV offers a well-rounded channel selection, ranging from sports and entertainment to news and network TV. You can’t get Ion or Ion Mystery either way, which is a bummer, but there are still hundreds of channels to choose from. That said, you get channels like Investigation Discovery (ID), TLC, Hallmark, and INSP with the regular package price. You’ll have to pay extra for HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, and CINEMAX, or for an Entertainment View add-on that includes NFL Network, OWN, and the Cooking Channel. If your primary reason to pay for live TV is to stay up to date, we think you’ll be pretty happy with what Spectrum has to offer.Įntertainment and lifestyle: 3.5/5 Spectrum TV’s lineup for movies, home improvement shows, reality TV, and true crime is just OK. You get national networks CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, plus all the news that comes with local channels. News and politics: 4.5/5 Spectrum doesn’t offer the hotly debated Newsmax channel at its base price, but it has almost everything else news junkies crave. ![]() It’s not great, but it’s not awful either. You do get PBS, though, plus the regular Disney channel, Family Entertainment TV (FETV), and Discovery. Smithsonian’s out, too, and Science (you can get some of these with the Entertainment View add-on, but it costs $12 extra each month). You won’t get Disney Jr., Nat Geo Wild, Cartoon Network, or Nick Jr., unfortunately. The sports pack is a breezy $6 per month, which isn’t bad, but we’d still prefer the channels be in the standard package.įamily and education: 3/5 Spectrum TV also earns a passing grade for kids shows, but it’s nothing to write home. You may be eligible for various regional sports networks, but they almost always cost extra. ![]() You’ll get national games on the local networks and coverage from networks like TNT and FS1, but you’ll have to pay extra for goodies like MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, and the ESPN College Extra. Sports: 3/5 Spectrum TV is only passable when it comes to sports. You’ll miss out on a few smaller local networks in some areas, such as Antenna TV and Estrella TV, but we have no major complaints. You get the big four-NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX-plus The CW and Spanish-language channels. Local: 4/5 Spectrum does a great job of providing local channels throughout the hundreds of markets it covers. Your exact channel lineup depends on where you live (and some areas even have unique package options), so enter your address and check the channel guide as you decide. You get more than 125 channels with TV SELECT and more than 140 channels on MI PLAN LATINO, but those are your only package options. Spectrum TV is a good choice for basic TV viewing on a budget, especially if you bundle with home internet. ![]()

![]() ![]() I could change things I didn't like with a few quick clicks. It didn’t matter if my "real" family was fighting or a boy I liked didn’t text back, because on-screen, I was in control. You need to have a blend file per every character in the animation, as well as a blend file with just the object.įor a blend file to be correctly exported into the game, it has to contain only one rig file that will be interpreted by Sims4Studio.Ĭheck the ' Converting Blender Animations to Clips’ tutorial on how to turn blend files into clips and clip headers to use them in the game.The first time I played The Sims as a kid, I was hooked. Removing an actor means removing its rig from the file. Then open each copy and remove other actors from it, leaving only one actor per animation file. For example, if you have two characters (a male and a female), create two copies. To select multiple things hold the Control key and click the things from the list.Įvery rig has its own timeline with keyframes which means that you can’t export one whole animation with multiple characters at once using Sims4Studio.Įvery actor has to have its own animation file, so once you’re done with your animation, save and close Blender.Ĭreate a copy of your animation file per character and object. Open 'Object’ folder and select all rig and body parts (rig, head, teeth, tongue, top, bottom, feet), which is usually everything except lamps and cameras.Select blend file that contains the chracter/object you want to add (for example the female rig).To add additional characters or objects to your animation: You can import up to 10 characters, 1 object, and 10 prop objects in one animation. Note that you can’t export the animation with multiple characters and/or objects, you will have to separate them into individual blend files later. Importing characters and objects allows you to align everything properly in one whole animation. The tutorial by SouthernShotty is actually a more advanced look at keyframes, but it should help you refine your knowledge on keyframes to improve quality of your animation once you learn the basics. Keyframe Animation for Beginners by SouthernShotty Manipulating models, animating camera, or rendering isn't useful for animating for The Sims 4. The beginner tutorial by Ryan King Art will explain to you how to use the timeline, add keyframes, edit keyframes, keyframe interpolation, how to use the graph editor. This is general knowledge of using Blender for animating, so check out the linked video tutorials to learn before proceeding. You have to know how to move the camera, what a Timeline is and how to use it, what bones are and how to manipulate them, and how to combine all that knowledge to be able to animate characters. If the male is animated with testicle movement, make sure to not allow animated vagina or prevent the role from being occupied by a female Sim.įor anybody who have never used Blender or never animated in Blender, it's important you learn the basics first. By default all animation actors DON'T use the animated vagina model to prevent issues with unwanted vagina movement if a role was designed for FEMALE+BOTH with testicle movement due to the bones being shared. The body used depends on the variable set in the actor XML ("animation_has_animated_vagina"). Female Sim body has two dynamically switching models, one that has an animated vagina and one that doesn't have an animated vagina. The vagina is animated using the 'b_Penis_Testicles', 'b_Penis_L_Testicle, 'b_Penis_R_Testicle' bones.The rig comes with double usage of certain bones depending if you're animating a male or female Sim. FlowersSimFactory Melodine control rig (doesn't support all WW features)ĭownloaded files with extension ’.blend’ can now be loaded directly to Blender.Īnimating for WickedWhims purposes requires the 'b_ROOT_' bone to always stay in the default position (0,0,0) and rotation (90,0,0) for all characters and objects. ![]()

But if you’re worried about your kid, if he or she already plays a console, you don’t have to worry they’ll see it there, because the makers of consoles - Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo - won’t even greenlight happy relationship sex games. Clearly some pervs somewhere are playing it on their PCs. Kids very, very likely are not playing it. So what I’m saying is, ban or not for "Rapelay," which sounds pretty awful, don’t confuse its rareness for general gaming at large. After that brief bit of consensual sex, you in "God of War" go on to do hours and hours of non-sexual killing. In "God of War" games, in one scene only, you see some topless women trying to get your attention, then you press some buttons on your hand controller, the viewpoint changes to a side table next to the sex, you hear a few moans, and it’s all over much much quicker than any woman would want, consensually. The one game with concensual sex I can think of, for PlayStation consoles, are "God of War" titles, and in those "God of War" games, you don’t see anything sexual. Two of those three game series with consensual sex that I mentioned are not available for those systems. Not one of those systems has ever greenlighted a game with a rape, as far as I know, and I’ve been reviewing games for all five of those platforms since they hit the market years ago. I fact, I managed to trace the game on a particular site which also included the game mechanics. You were right, game was released and translated years ago and yet no faq. This includes the Xbox 360, the PS 3, the Wii, the handheld DS and the handheld PSP. Thanks for the effort Yusaku but, any individual with an average IQ could get this game running by simply googling it. Everyone started buying console game systems. A Japanese videogame developer that specializes in pornographic games. Do you see what I’m saying? Game companies just don’t make games like this, except apparently for the maker of "RapeLay" in Japan. OK, you say, then what about this "RapeLay?" Well, "RapeLay" is a PC game available from Japan, just as "Faces of Death" was not a mainstream movie that you would ever find at a Blockbuster. The reason I bring this up is that parents and politicians often hear of one thing about one insanely rare video game and wish a pox on the whole house of video games. And those three games were not graphic about it. I can count three (if you count the "God of War" series as one title) where you actually control a male main character in a quest to bed a woman consensually. I can count on one hand the number of those games that included even naked breasts. I have reviewed hundreds upon hundreds of video games in the 2000s. So please, parents and politicians, feel free to dog "RapeLay" but leave regular gaming out of it. While "RapeLay" does sound repugnant and beyond, I would like to strongly urge everyone to realize this: "Rapelay" is a very rare - unique in fact - video game, in that games hardly ever deal with soft sexual themes, let alone rape. ![]() ![]() The game was made by a company that previously made "Battle Raper." "RapeLay" was for some time available for purchase on Amazon, until someone alerted Amazon to what "RapeLay" was, then the site stopped selling it.Ī writer for Slate points out that this game comes not from the United States but from Japan: "It’s an old cliché that the more repressed a society, the more extreme its pornography."īut there is something far more important to consider, I suggest. And frankly, the details don’t take up much ink. I don’t want to go into all the nitty gritty details. " RapeLay" came out three years ago, but is now suddenly getting some press, as a New York politician denounced the game and called for its banning - thus making it more widely known, so don’t be surprised if sales start upticking. I’ve watched bits of non-sexual video of the game to get a feel for it. "RapeLay" is a PC video game where gamers portray a guy in Japan who revenge-rapes a female, who had turned him in for groping her on a subway, and other females in her family. ![]() ![]() “For the Damaged Coda” also became a meme, playing over clips of Fortnite fails and dopey characters getting clowned on SpongeBob SquarePants. The most streamed song by punk godheads Fugazi, whose member Guy Picciotto co-produced Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons, is at just over 16 million. For some more perspective, the most streamed song on Spotify by Sonic Youth, the indie rock pioneers and the band that Blonde Redhead was most compared to in 2000, is at close to 18 million. Today, “For the Damaged Coda” has been streamed over 27 million times on Spotify, which is 23 million more times than the second-most streamed Blonde Redhead song. Over the course of their career, the music of Blonde Redhead has been used in movies, commercials, and TV shows, even getting a coveted placement on Grey’s Anatomy back in 2007, but none of these syncs had a cultural impact anywhere near what happened with Rick and Morty. 15 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs chart, 17 years after it was first released. In the following weeks, “For the Damaged Coda” was streamed and downloaded so many times that it reached No. ![]() Then during last year’s third season, after Rick and Morty had amassed a now fanatical fan base, “For the Damaged Coda” played once again as it became clear that Evil Morty had engineered a conspiracy to get himself elected as the leader of the Citadel of Ricks and murder anyone who might challenge his power. The song soundtracked the revelation that (okay, bear with me) an Evil Morty was the mastermind behind a plot to travel across alternate dimensions, killing Ricks and kidnapping other Mortys to get the attention of the show’s central Rick, and now that Evil Morty was roaming undetected in the Citadel of Ricks, an intergalactic society governed by the Council of Ricks. Makino says she only vaguely remembers being approached to approve it. Once that’s done, you realize, ‘Wow, this is actually going to go out there.’ And beyond that, basically it’s out of your hands.”įourteen years later, “For the Damaged Coda” was used in the final moments of an episode of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty during the cartoon’s first season. Just over two-and-a-half minutes long, it was named “For the Damaged Coda.” Thinking back to that late night in the studio, Makino says, “Because you’re in such a cocoon, you have this very strong sensation that no one is going to listen to this music. This new song would become the album’s eleventh track, so it went unlisted on the back of the packaging. Makino figured they’d probably end up with ten songs, so she wrote out a convoluted run-on sentence and chopped it into ten parts for the track titles. The project had been behind schedule, and earlier in the recording process, their label Touch & Go told them they needed to get the album art done. Instead they layered about 20 takes of Makino doing it herself, becoming, as she says, “an army of my voice.” Makino originally envisioned it being done by a choir with lots of children, but they couldn’t afford that. Then either Makino or her bandmate Amedeo Pace - they can’t remember which - had the idea to add wordless vocals of the song’s melody: aaaaah-aah-aah-aah-aaah-aah-aah. ![]() They’d also recorded a more dramatic, extended piano vamp for the song, but weren’t sure what to do with it. They had already finished a melancholy song called “For the Damaged” where co-lead vocalist Kazu Makino sang resignedly over delicate piano and a sparse acoustic guitar. The New York–based indie rock trio were almost done making their fifth album, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons. Late one night in early 2000, the members of Blonde Redhead were in a barn outside of Seattle that had been converted into a recording studio. ![]() ![]() Demolition Derby - The Fair Grounds *Demo | BeamNG Subscribe View ingame Download Now 36.7 MB Demolition Derby - The Fair Grounds *Demo 10.8.1 DEMO Derby and Racing Scenario - Figure 8, Grass, Concrete, Mud and More Tags- car demolition derby scenario Overview Updates (27) Reviews (123) Version History Discussion What is a demolition derby?.

![]() ![]() Worth noting that Ballou's grievances on the Helix were addressed by Ben Adrian of Line 6. His amps are based on modelings chasing a Diezel (Das Benzin Mega) and PRS Archon. He does use a phase looper for the song “Eye of the Quarrel” that allows him to play both guitar parts featured on it. All of these are engaged and omitted by Ballou as if they were pedals on a standard board. Another perk is that his setup is in a stereo configuration, and the Helix’s direct-out function allows him to run front-of-house a stereo signal without having to worry about miking cabs (and possible phasing issues) that inevitably happen when mics and cabs get bumped and moved during Converge’s chaotic performances.įor these “Converge Classic” ** headlining shows, Ballou operates the Helix in stompbox mode with a “Kvrt Preset V6.” Some of the pieces of the puzzle include a Centaur-style distortion, two separate noise gates, a Tycoctavia Fuzz, a Dual Pitch setting, Ping Pong (turning on stereo delay and reverb at the same time), and a Searchlights reverb patch. ![]() He says it gives him a consistent, reliable sound each night that can be stored as a carry-on.

Ballou has even developed a gear brand ( God City Instruments) that includes guitars, pedals, and pickups, all in the pursuit of turning ideas into art.ĭuring our conversation before Converge’s sold-out performance at Nashville’s Basement East on May 22nd, Ballou dove into his Line 6 Helix spice rack and shared how 30 plus years as a guitarist and in-demand producer have informed his guitar-design philosophy. His sonic temple, God City Studio, is the destination for artists looking to make their rawest, heaviest, brutalist work. He’s been on the leading edge of aggressive guitar sounds since 1990, and Converge’s fourth album, 2001’s Jane Doe, is still seen as a game-changing release, with its ferocious performances and masterful production. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Goth rocker Pandora, rockabilly Eddie Knox and classic rocker Clive Winston were all absent from this entry into the franchise. Despite these additions, some characters did not make it into the game. Joining them is newcomer Midori, representing the J-Pop music genre. In addition to the celebrity characters, fictional guitarists from the first two Guitar Hero games also make their return. As well, each of the celebrity guitarists recorded their own original guitar pieces to be played during a guitar duel against them in career mode. Each had their faces scanned and did their own motion capture work for the game. Brett Michaels also makes an appearance in the game (excluding the Wii and PS2 version). A huge addition was the inclusion of Slash (of Velvet Revolver/ex guitarist for Gun N' Roses) and Tom Morello (Guitarist of Rage Against The Machine). Charactersįor the first time in the Guitar Hero franchise, GHIII saw the inclusion of real-world celebrities. Five gold stars are earned upon completing a song without missing a note and reaching the required point threshold. The number of stars earned corresponds with the score achieved, higher scores earning more stars. At the end of each song the player is shown their "notes hit" percentage as well as being shown a score and a star rating out of five. ![]() Long notes can also be whammied using the whammy bar, which alters the pitch of the note and earns the player more points and/or more star power if the long note is on a star path. ![]() When the player has enough Star Power, they can activate it and further double the scoring multiplier either by tilting the guitar controller vertically or by pressing a specific button on the controller. Special sections, marked by starred notes, can be used to build Star Power. A string of ten consecutive correct notes earns a multiplier to increase the player's score, which can occur up to four times. When the meter drops too low, the player fails the song, represented in-game by the band being booed off the stage. Missing a note causes the performance meter to drop. The game simulates hammer-ons and pull-offs for sections with a rapid series of notes, allowing the player to forgo strumming on specifically marked notes. Notes can be sustained, during which the fret button is held until the note is complete, and they can also form two- to four-note chords. To hit notes using the guitar controller, the player hits the strum bar while holding down the corresponding colored fret buttons. The player hits notes as they scroll down the note highway towards the bottom of the screen in time with music to maintain their performance and earn points. Gameplay for Guitar Hero III is similar to previous titles in the series. Guitar Hero III maintains the previous modes of gameplay from the earlier games (Career Mode and Co-op career mode), and introduces Battle Model, which tweaks the Battle Power sequences of Guitar Hero II by allowing players to earn attacks through superior performance that they can use against their opponent. Just as in previous Guitar Hero games, players control the game by using a guitar-shaped controller, and use the strum bar while holding down appropriately colored fret buttons to strike notes as they scroll to the bottom of the screen. Released in 2007 by Neversoft and Activision, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock brought the addictive gameplay of the original two games to a wide variety of platforms. ![]() |
