![]() The Season 1 PSAs were pretty generic in nature, being nothing more than scenes from the actual show that were clearly redubbed at the last minute to shoehorn a lesson in order to meet the education content quota required for children programming at the time.And Knowing Is Half the Battle - Every episode, except for the pilot, ended with a public service announcement featuring the heroes teaching some kind of moral to kids, as was standard with most animated shows at the time.Alternate Continuity: The series is in a different continuity than the game series that it is based on.A coloring mistake in the episode "The Price of Oblivion" ended up inadvertently giving the Lee brothers their arcade colors for one scene, with the dark-haired brother (Billy in this case) being given a red outfit, while the blond-haired brother (Jimmy) being given the blue outfit. Adaptation Dye-Job: The Lee brothers are given the different hair colors and hair styles they had in Super Double Dragon (which in turn were based on the designs they had in the NES versions of the original trilogy), but Billy's hair is colored black like on the game's American boxart instead of the reddish brown hair he has in-game and Japanese promo art, which ends up making him look like a poor man's Kenshiro with the ensemble he's given.Initially the two brothers oppose each other, but when Jimmy is betrayed by his own men, he abandon his evil ways and join forces to fight the true leader of the Shadow Warriors himself, the Shadow Master, who wishes to engulf the world with the power of the black flame.ĭouble Dragon includes examples of the following tropes: Joining forces with policewoman Marian Martin, Billy fights to protect the city from the Shadow Warriors, a criminal organization initially led by the mysterious Shadow Boss, who is revealed to be none other than his long lost twin brother Jimmy. When the Eldest Dragon is gone, Billy becomes the new Dragon Master at the age of 18. The Code's main precepts are not to harm others intentionally and not fight if he can help it. ![]() Billy is raised in the Dragon Dojo by the Eldest Dragon, who trains him in the ways of the Code of the Dragon.

![]() They also have been systematically taught by the streets and social institutions that their voice doesn't matter, much less their creativity. Although my students enter high school with a variety of reading levels, by the time they reach me many of them are disheartened and disempowered by knowing how far they are behind. The greatest difference in my view is their reading level. This difficult shift has made me think about what my students have in common with other students in the building. ![]() As one of two English teachers that were asked back, I am charged with bringing together four very different school cultures. This spring Chicago Public Schools announced the consolidation of the Bowen campus. For several years these schools functioned as four different high schools with completely different school names, foci, uniforms, and demeanor. Six years ago, in an effort to make smaller learning communities, Bowen was separated into four distinct high school settings. Experiencing a cultural shift from a Mexican community with a gradual influx of African-Americans has caused social, emotional, and economic tension. Primarily an area of the city that was dominated by the steel mills for decades, South Shore has drastically changed in the last 20 years. ![]() Situated on the South East side of Chicago, this South Shore campus provides public education as a neighborhood school.

That is entirely what this unit sets out to do - challenge conventional poetic form while taking it seriously before turning away from it. 2 Frost makes a good point, there is something to be said for those who adhere to the rules, but I would argue there is also something to be said about the deliberate choice to selectively challenge the convention. Like a highly skilled tennis player, Frost adhered to the conventions of traditional line and meter, proving his game on the international court by winning four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry in his lifetime. In the 1947 article "Those Who Make Poems," Chicago poet Carl Sandburg challenged the status quo of poetry: "recently a poet was quoted as saying he would as soon play tennis without a net as to write free verse…The poet without imagination or folly enough to play tennis by serving and returning the ball over an invisible net may see himself as highly disciplined." 1 The poet he referred to was Robert Frost, a serial practitioner of iambic pentameter. ![]() Side to decrease the value, and the right-hand side to increase the value.

DDR4 will give you better performance overall, but DaVinci Resolve doesn’t depend on it, so only choose this if your budget allows for it.įinally, the brand doesn’t matter too much for DaVinci Resolve. So think about the kind of projects you’ll be working on and aim for something within your budget that reflects your needs. If you want to edit more than 4K, and into the 6K to 8K range, plus do some heavy-duty color grading then we’d recommend 64GB of RAM or more.32GB of RAM will help you step up to 4K editing and let Fusion run a lot more comfortably on an HD project.16GB of RAM is good for HD video editing and some simple color correction, but you might find yourself frustrated when using Fusion.Depending on what you’re working on it might not be easy for you to just add some extra RAM, but as a rule of thumb: The more RAM you have, the more your computer will be able to handle multiple processes at the same time. The 4 core minimum will be fine if you’re doing simple editing such as cuts, but if you will be using DaVinci Resolve with Neural AI and Fusion then go for a CPU with as many cores as you can afford. This is because your CPU will be doing encoding before your GPU gets involved.Ī general rule of thumb is to have a minimum of 4 cores, and the more cores, the better the performance-if your budget allows it. Your CPU will also be important if you’re working with the new H.265 codec. If your budget can stretch, an Intel i9 12 or 14 core, or an AMD Ryzen 9 would be even better.īut if you have more than one GPU and want to get the most for your money, the Intel i9 10980XE 18 Core or the AMD TR 3970X runs DaVinci Resolve exceptionally well. If you have a single GPU, a CPU like an Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 will be just fine. The CPU is the overall controller of the computer and will be responsible for running Resolve and other tasks you instruct your computer to do. Once you’ve prioritized your GPU, the CPU is a very important component for using DaVinci Resolve. Learn more about the differences between DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Resolve Studio here. The free version is handicapped and can only use one graphics card at a time. You could also look into an AMD product for your GPU.Ī benefit of using the paid version of DaVinci Resolve is that the software will use all of the GPU resources efficiently. And if that’s still out of your price range? The GTX1660 Super is a budget option that will give you a solid performance. For something a little more wallet-friendly, consider the RTX 2060 Super which is still a superb product. If your budget stretches, the RTX2080TI has unbeatable performance per dollar, but the cost represents that. Simply put, go with the best graphics card your budget can afford.įusion, color grading, effects, and the Neural AI engine are all heavy graphics-related functions and simply won’t be able to manage if your computer has an inadequate GPU. The GPU is the most important component when it comes to DaVinci Resolve. Part 2: Main Computer Requirements to Run DaVinci Resolve 17 1.

Thanks to prophecies noting Fenrir's growth and ferocity, the Gods decided he must be bound. Mutually Assured Destruction! FenrirĪnother of Loki's delightful children, Fenrir the Wolf is the fiercest and most vicious of all the creatures. He will be slain by Thor who then drops down dead from being poisoned by his venom. Ragnarok – the End of Days – begins when Jörmungandr releases his tail and comes out of the ocean to poison the sky. Jörmungandr's arch-enemy is Thor, the God of Thunder. The serpent grew so large that he was able to surround Midgard and grasp his own tail. Jörmungandr is the child of Loki and the Jötunn Angrboða, along with Fenrir and Hel, and was tossed into the ocean by Odin. Also known as the Midgard Serpent, he encircles the Earth keeping everything in place. Jörmungandrįor humans at least, there are few creatures more important than Jörmungandr. So now we have our classes of being, let's look at a few specific examples of Important Norse Creatures. ![]() They spend their days protecting the treasures in their graves and crushing people who attempt to rob them, or who wronged them in their lives. ![]() Perhaps most importantly, they can swim through solid rock, which perhaps explains how they exit their tombs. They can also increase their size at will and shape-shift into other creatures. What mythology is complete without some kind of zombie story? In Norse mythology these are the Draugr.ĭraugr are undead beings, with superhuman strength and the stench of decay. Read more: The Role of Women in the Viking Age Draugr They don't simply choose who gets in to Valhalla, they also choose who lives and dies in battle! It's certainly true that the Valkyries carried the slain to battle but their name – Choosers of the Slain – hints at their more sinister side. A good story but, as always, it's not quite that simple! They're Odin's female helping spirits who are depicted as elegant maidens ferrying the slain to Valhalla. ValkyriesĪ stirring rendition of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries has adorned many a film to good effect but what are the Valkyries? We'll get onto a few specific Jötunn later in this article but they include Hel – the Goddess/Giantess of the Underworld and Ymir who is a hermaphroditic entity that is the first being in the Norse creation myth. Often said to be at war with the Gods of the Æsir and Vanir, nevertheless, many of the Norse Gods themselves are borne of one or more Jötunn. It's perhaps better to consider them as ‘devourers' chaotic spirits of night and darkness and winter. Despite generally being translated as ‘Giants', they are usually the same size as humans. The Jötnar (singular Jötunn) are an odd bunch, and difficult to define. The four Dwarfs Austri, Vestri, Nordri and Sudri – East, West, North and South – hold the sky aloft by its four corners, a testament to their incredible strength. This is disputed by many scholars, and the Dökkálfar could either be an attempt to introduce the ‘good vs evil’ concept or they may be Dwarfs under another name.ĭwarfs are highly knowledgeable, very wise, extremely skilled and magically powerful. Some sources distinguish Elves into two different groups – Dökkálfar and Ljósálfar – Dark Elves that are ‘blacker than pitch’ and Light Elves that are ‘lighter than the sun’. Read more: Norwegian Mythology & Folk Tales Elves were often portrayed as morally ambivalent. They were a very fluid race and did not subscribe to the normal gender roles of humans. On the whole the Elves kept themselves away from the affairs of humans, appearing only occasionally to either cause or cure illnesses, based on their whims. Said to inhabit the realm of Alfheim, under the rule of the God Freyr, the Elves were tall, slim demi-gods with pale skin and hair, who were more beautiful than the sun. Here, we take a look at the best of the best – from races such as elves to individual creatures such as the mighty Kraken – so for everything you need to know about the fantastic beasts, we’ve got you covered!

From Odin’s mighty horse to a world-circling serpent, Norse Mythology has a cacophony of crazy creatures! The regular attack is not just closing your jaws. ![]() The game systems work quite well to guide you. Nevertheless, it was no reason for me to switch. It’s still doable with the mouse but it can be awkward. The only scenario I can think of where this might be the case would be certain underwater battles against other predators, where decoupling the movement and camera panning could come in handy. I had little trouble with the kbm setup and didn’t even consider switching to the pad. Movement is very intuitive even though you have to navigate in all three dimensions. The biggest issue for me was the lack of laser eyes that would let me larp Doctor Evil’s pet and turn into a mecha shark. In the beginning, I hoped that you’d start by mutating into other real sharks – like the hammerhead or the great white, with sci-fi options appearing a bit later. I found the number of mutations to be quite lacking. Each mutation can be upgraded up to five times using nutrients. Abilities include a sonar (sixth sense for finding objects), regeneration, land walking and so on. While body parts are mainly about combat, generic mutations can be adjusted more to your needs. The only customization provided by the game is through mutations, which are more like equipment that you can swap freely in your cave. Mutations aka character development & inventory management While providing facts about aquatic wildlife, he also shares some info on the local setting, politics and so on. Eventually he becomes more and more involved in conspiracy theories and starts seeking the truth.

The DM is like glue bringing both the parts together, even though we never see his face. Will Pete try to break the cycle of animal cruelty? Will he find common ground with his son or lose him forever now that he is also on the path of vengeance? Pete is a burly man, much like his father before him (also a shark hunter and one-armed your mother appears to have had some history with him), while his son is a frail marine life student joining his dad for summer, hoping to bond with him. In a number of interviews that follow, we learn of his relationship with his son, and its far-from-perfect dynamics. Scaly Pete doesn’t get over the loss of his hand.

The Kobolds were fast and rather good at slipping past my defenses. I was pleased to see new enemies too, as they add a bit of variation. I used Spring Traps and Floor Scorchers to knock enemies back, though I wished for a faster reset on both! The new defenses included Wall Blades, Spring Traps, and the Floor Scorcher. for these I set up lots of traps down one path while I fought enemies down the other, rather than try to take them all on nearer the Rift. Some of these had numerous routes for the enemies to take, meaning there was even more ground to cover. The demo had limited maps, so I was keen to look at the new ones on offer. or shatter when a trap goes off, rather than relying on you being able to shoot it in the middle of a horde of Orcs. These were easier to use than the Boom Barrels, as they detonate with a right click. including some throwable acid pots which were very nice against small enemies.
