![]() ![]() Here's where co-founder Andrew Meggs works his magic. Drawing on ancient folklore from Arthur to Yggdrasil, the world is alive with strange creatures and stranger folk to meet but your story rarely includes treasure simply found by the roadside. You must win your Realm's trust, and earn the right to wield a mighty blade by equally mighty deeds. ![]() You must consult a master craftsman, who can create items as powerful as the harsh RvR world demands. There are no real-world money shops for your hero to take the easy path. In Camelot Unchained, a player-driven economy of shops and bazaars brings you into the immersive world. You live on, to rebuild and reconquer what remains. All the world was almost wiped out when the Veilstorms tore across the land, changing and breaking it apart. Your epic story does not require you to raid a dungeon day after day, hoping the right item will drop if you kill enough bosses: your story begins with survival. If you dare to explore, know this: even after death, a player's soul can haunt and hunt other adventurers. It is a truly twisted place, a dark abyss that lives and breathes evil. While dungeon raids are not part of your daily ritual, you can fall deep into The Depths™, a creation from the mind of studio co-founder Mark Jacobs, which draws inspiration from the mythos of H.R. You will see your choices change your fate.Ĭamelot Unchained is not just about the battle between three Realms it is a world filled with rich lore, ancient yet written anew. Everything you need to succeed in Camelot Unchained requires skill and effort, not an open wallet. ![]() Camelot Unchained never tries to monetize you, never slows down, and won't be “free-to-play.” We respect your commitment to a subscription-based game in return, you won't see thinly-veiled grabs for more money. Our RvR game puts the power of choice in your hands. Fight other players for resources or land, carefully coordinate attacks and sieges with your Realm, and write your tale in letters of fire for the tomes of history. Gain power through using abilities instead of grinding experience points, and become mighty through great skill. Every adventure becomes a part of the story, raising your Realm's power and influence through combat or crafting. Whether you choose the noble Arthurians, the mysterious Tuatha Dé Danann, or the fierce Vikings, every battle changes you. This is the story of how you became a legend. This is the story of how you chose one of the three Realms and carved your name in the blood of your enemies. ![]()

The entire anime fight sequence was intended to mimic Kill la Kill, namely with the rainbow flashes that explode out every time Nicole and Yuki trade blows much the same as Ryuko and Satsuki.The contestants for the Elmore Kumite include Spike Bulldog, Master Onion, a Rock Golem, a Peckish Aristocrab, and what looks to be Rookie.Said flashback even ends with the Elmore Kumite, which is just as outlandish as the aforementioned tournament. The manga-style flashback to Nicole and Yuki's training is a direct reference to Son Goku and Krillin training under Master Roshi for the Tenkaichi Budōkai."Which school taught you? Was it Hokuto? Was it Konoha? Or was it.Yuki even has the same choppy animations as Ryu and Ken. A brief flashback of Yuki wrecking Nicole's car is a direct reference to the car-wrecking bonus stage of Street Fighter II.Senpai/Kōhai: While Yuki and Nicole were martial arts students, Yuki was the sempai, and Nicole was the kohai (Masami even uses and translates the latter term).After that fails, Nicole acquiesces under the threat of being fired and having her house foreclosed on. Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Since Yuki's husband owns Nicole's workplace, she's able to harass her with impunity for refusing to fight.Pass the Popcorn: Masami pulls out a bucket of popcorn and offers it to Gumball, Anais, and Darwin after admitting she realized she'd "get annihilated trying" to stop the fight between Nichole and Yuki.Is Serious Business: Nicole puts up with Yuki's harassment, which her kids find so baffling they spend the next school day wondering why until Masami explains their past.

Disproportionate Retribution: Yuki's constant harassment to Nicole over a childhood rivalry qualifies as this.It seems like a standard part of a training montage, until the kids are trapped by rubble and the rivals team up to split a girder in half.

Legs, arms, thighs, hands and feet of men, women and children were hung up in rows, like dried beef.Ī great many limbs lay in pickle, and a great mass of money, both gold and silver, with watches, rings, swords, pistols, and a large quantity of clothes, both linen and woollen, and an infinite number of other things, which they had taken from those whom they had murdered, were thrown together in heaps, or hung up against the sides of the den.įrom there, the family was taken into custody by the monarchy and executed for their crimes against humanity. Now the whole body, or as many of them as could, went in, and were all so shocked at what they beheld that they were almost ready to sink into the earth. The monarch led a group of 400 men, according to the book, to the caves, where they found horrors beyond their comprehension. ![]() It's a vision of how quickly and easily people can turn. Almost no one is spared, not even the dogs. ![]() Such a dreadful spectacle made the man make the more obstinate resistance, as expecting the same fate if he fell into their hands. The original The Hills Have Eyes is absolutely iconic for how graphic and unsettling it is. Though eclipsed by other big studio films including Smokey and the Bandit, it ultimately grossed more than the expensive Dino De Laurentiis Jaws rip-off Orca, which was released on the same day. A family vacation takes a bloody detour thanks to cannibalistic mutants in this unrelenting remake of Wes Cravens 1977 cult horror film. This done, they ripped up her belly and pulled out all her entrails. The Hills Have Eyes was a surprise hit with audiences when it opened in the summer of 1977. The female cannibals cut her throat and fell to sucking her blood with as great a gust as if it had been wine. Only content that has been downloaded can be watched outside of UK, Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands. Sadly, the wife did not make it through the ambush. A phrase coined by environmentalist when they try to persuade children not to dump litter on their hilly nature reserve. According to Alexander Smith's 1719 book " A Complete History of the Lives and Robberies of the Most Notorious Highwaymen," a man and his wife were attacked by the family during a journey on horseback. It is alleged that the family murdered and ate upwards of a thousand human beings over the years without ever visiting any neighboring villages.Īt one point, one of the family's victims escaped and lived - which prompted the King to send troops to find the cannibalistic group. They would capture people by night and dismember their victims in the cave, before pickling, salting and eating the body parts. The clan, much like the families featured in the films, would make meals out of clueless travelers who unfortunately came across their hunting grounds. This is only one of many bad ideas made by the California-bound vacationers (the first is to take the "shortcut" directions down an unpaved road).The exact number of children and grandchildren the pair raised in the cave is unknown, but over the 25 years they called it home, it is believed they raised and cohabitated with nearly 50 family members. He's so scared that when he makes his way back to the broken down trailer where the rest of the family awaits a never-coming rescue, he doesn't tell them what he found, concerned he might scare them. First, they kill one of the Carters' two German shepherds, leaving it for young Bobby to find. Their faces are doughy and misshapen, bodies bent and filthy, and snaggly-sharp teeth perfect for ripping flesh from bones. In the hills, a family of mutants watches the Carters, until it's time to strike. In one corner of the New Mexico desert traipse the Carters, including retired cop Big Bob (Ted Levine), his churchy wife Ethel (Kathleen Quinlan) and their mostly grown kids, new mom Lynn (Vinessa Shaw) and her liberal-leaning husband Doug (Aaron Stanford), adolescent Bobby (Dan Byrd), and slightly younger Brenda (Emilie de Ravin).

No effect on dry matter consumption or acceptance percentage was observed when different concentrations of flavorings were used. When comparing the inclusion of any flavor with respect to an unflavored control treatment, no significant differences were observed in the consumption of dry matter or the degree of acceptance. The goats consumed 68.28% of the amount of offered forage when the bitter flavor was used, but only consumed 56.43% of what was offered when the forage was acidified. The forage intake on a dry basis showed by the animals when the acid flavor was applied, was 0.977 kg/d, when the sweet and salty flavorings were used the intake was 0.855 and 0.822 kg/d, respectively. Goats showed the greater preference for forage mixed with a bitter flavor, and less preference for sweet and salty flavors. A coffee-shop test was used in a block crossover model. Pennisetum purpureum cv King grass mixed with four flavors (acid, bitter, sweet and salty) in five different concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0%) was supplied to a group of goats. The research was developed at the Dairy Cattle Experimental Station “Alfredo Volio Mata” of the University of Costa Rica, in Ochomogo, Cartago, Costa Rica during October 2015. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate different sources and concentrations of flavoring on forage intake in goats.

The biggest improvement in the 2023 Mac mini is storage speed. Only compare version 6 results with version 6, or version 5 results with version 5. Monterey, which was running on the 2018 Mac mini, is too old to run Geekbench 6, so I ran GeekBench 5 on the older Mac mini and both Geekbench 5 & 6 on the other computers to help us compare the four units.īIG NOTE: Geekbench 6 results can not be compared to Geekbench 5. There is no doubt if you are using an older system you’ll see a marked improvement by migrating to this gear. In terms of benchmarks, the new Mac mini averages 2-4 times faster than the 2018 Mac mini or 2017 iMac. ![]() In all cases, it was the M2 Pro Mac mini. The green cells indicate which system was the fastest in each test. The setup and operation of the 2023 Mac mini is identical to all other Macs. I used three other Macs as comparison systems for these tests: ![]() NOTE: They also loaned me an Apple Studio monitor. The unit Apple loaned me is the high-end of the M2 Mac mini line: While the Mac Studio is still an object of serious editorial lust, especially due to its RAM capacity, connectivity and cooling, the M2 Pro Mac mini is faster than just about anything else you could compare it to - at a fraction of the price. But, if you own an Intel system, the performance benefits of the M2 Pro Mac mini are striking. There’s no compelling reason to upgrade unless you like the form factor. If you own an M1 system, the M2 Mac mini is about 8% faster when editing in Premiere. ( Here’s my review.) The Thunderblade has a maximum speed around 2,500 MB/second. These tests used the OWC Thunderblade, an 8 TB SSD RAID connected via Thunderbolt 3/4. NOTE: To deliver this level of multicam performance, you’ll need really fast external storage or opt for a larger internal drive. If you want to future-proof for 8K media, this will easily edit 8K single camera or stream up to six 8K streams until the bandwidth speed of Thunderbolt gets in the way.If you are editing HD or 4K multicam, this system easily handles more than 25 streams of 4K ProRes 422 without dropping frames more if you use proxies.If you are principally editing SD, HD or 4K media shot single camera, this system handles it with ease.While I still need to test effects processing, here’s what I’ve learned so far: While the unit gets warm to the touch when all CPUs are pumping data, it never gets hot. As well, multicam performance is also improved. The media engine in the M2 Pro shaves time from renders and exports and, when coupled with fast storage, it improves single camera editing of HD, 4K, even 8K clips. NOTE: In this article, I use the term “SoC” (System on a Chip) because this one chip contains the CPUs, GPUs, RAM and Media Engine.ĭepending upon which benchmarks are important to you, the new Mac mini is 2-4 TIMES faster than either the 2017 27″ iMac or 2018 Mac mini. While both systems are easily capable of video editing, the high-end Mac mini is optimized for it. In January, 2023, Apple released a significantly updated Mac mini featuring their latest SoCs (System on a Chip) – the M2 and the M2 Pro. The design of the Mac mini remains essentially unchanged. ![]() |
