![]() ![]() Valve and Newell both are clearly more interested in services and hardware than the traditional experiences that once typified their offerings. It would be something that reflected the community driven, market based, competitive standard Valve has built around its brand. Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, Dota. However, based on what Newell has said on the matter, there's little doubt that even if it did come back it wouldn't be as we knew it but reflect the current direction of the company. Of course, that doesn't mean the franchise is buried. He even comes out and calls doing another Half-Life a "bad choice" that it "ignores everything we've learned." Anyone still holding a torch for the series only has themselves to blame. That the company is focused on the community-based experiences that have helped make the company so successful, rather than the traditional single-player experiences that made the Half-Life series what it was. Unfortunately, Newell made it pretty clear where Valve is at right now. A scientist with a crowbar would have died in 3 mins. Considering that Gabe Newell, during a podcast with Geoff Keighley last year, specifically told him in response to questions about the future of the series that because of what Valve has learned over the years (and in particular since shipping Portal 2) that they weren't interested in doing what he called a "super classic kind of product" unless there was a significant enough demand for it within the company itself, it seems like the writing was on the wall. 3553 points 62 comments - Half life 3 confirmed - 9GAG has the best funny pics, gifs, videos.

![]() She signed a deal prior to the spring 2015 release of her breakthrough mixtape, You Should Be Here, and long before it was nominated for a Grammy. She was courted by major labels, and recorded on one’s dime, before most fans knew who she was. Kehlani Parrish is a 21-year-old singer from Oakland, though she is no stranger to the mechanics of the industry. The dawn of 2017 is at least providing an antidote. But at the conclusion of last year, these sorts of artists had piled up in a big heap at the end of the assembly line, like Christmas toys ready to be furiously packaged and shipped out for mass consumption. In fairness, this blueprint has been successfully replicated before-Bryson Tiller, a Drake soundalike who doubles as an athleisure mannequin in his spare time, became the genre’s breakout star in 2015 despite performing songs that sounded like they might be trying to escape back into your speakers. Like the Weeknd, each artist (dvsn aside) underscores their constructed anonymity with a sound that is hazy and faded, with the conjuring of a certain atmosphere foregrounded at the expense of noticeably strong songwriting. The singers were introduced to the public in meticulous fashions, but the songs, in most cases, felt empty. In listening to these artists, it was easy to feel like the music itself had taken a backseat to the marketing plans. dvsn, for instance, dropped its debut album on Drake’s label just six months after putting out its first ever song, while H.E.R.’s debut was rolled out with context-free links on some famous artists’ Twitter accounts, its major label backing only apparent if you read the small print on iTunes, leaving fans and journalists scrambling to find out anything about the singer. The suddenness with which these artists materialized was an indication of the music industry’s desire to invest money in incubating a replica of the Weeknd. À la Tesfaye-who got his start independently but was quickly shepherded up the ladder by Drake-those artists paired their enigmatic allure with major superstar co-signs, such as Kendrick Lamar (H.E.R.), Ty Dolla $ign (24hrs), Kylie Jenner (6lack), and Drake again (dvsn). Many of the year’s most heavily bankrolled R&B singers-dvsn, 6lack, H.E.R., 24hrs-emerged with fully-formed aesthetics that leaned heavily on an air of mystery, not to mention distinct post-Weeknd spellings or punctuations of their names that cemented the normalization of what was once artsy virtue signaling. ![]() With his reign well established, last year felt like the culmination of Abel Tesfaye’s influence over the genre he was eventually able to transcend completely. You can trace this back to the rise of the Weeknd, who grew a sweet-sounding, disembodied coo into one of the most commanding and visible voices in pop. In 2016, R&B as an industry revealed itself to be deeply image obsessed. ![]() Meggyilkolják egy szegecselővel Vicky Westlake-et. ![]() Martha megtudja, hogy egymillió dollárt örökölt Chet után, és azon gondolkozik, hogy mire költhetné végül (Beckett tanácsára) úgy dönt, emléket állít Chet számára, de ez alapján Castle kitalálja, hogy mit tenne Beckett friss lottónyertesként. Az eset persze jó alkalmat ad arra is, hogy mindenki elmondja, mit csinálna, ha ő nyerné meg a lottót egyedül Beckett nem hajlandó elmondani. A gyanúsítottak között felbukkan az inas, egy drogdíler és két korábbi rabló is, akiket az áldozat juttatott egykor börtönbe, viszont nehéz azonosítani a gyilkost, mivel az áldozat két kézzel szórta a pénzt a rászorulóknak - és olyanoknak is, akik nem érdemelték meg. Kirabolnak és meggyilkolnak Jay Hixtont, aki egy évvel azelőtt 100 millió dollárt nyert a lottón. Raglan régi kollégája és barátja nyomán eljutnak egy drogdílerhez, akinek sikerül annyira felbosszantani Beckettet, hogy a nő elvesztette az önuralmát, és ezért Montgomery kapitány eltiltotta az esettől, Castle-vel együtt. ![]() A halálos beteg Raglan ki akar tálalni Beckettnek, de csak annyit tud elmondani, hogy évekkel Johanna Beckett halála előtt kezdődött minden ezután viszont végez vele egy mesterlövész. Raglan nyomozó, aki Johanna Beckett halálának ügyében nyomozott, felhívja Beckettet, aki Castle társaságában el is megy a megbeszélésre. Castle egyre többet veszekszik Ginával, ezért azt javasolja Esposito-nak, hogy ne szűrje össze a levet a munkatársaival annak az Esposito-nak, aki viszont éppen összejött Lanie-vel. A lehetséges gyanúsítottak között szerepel a volt munkatársa, az ikertestvére, és frissen feltörekvő milliomos is. Megölik egy ismert bűvészbolt tulajdonosát, és megpróbálják öngyilkosságnak álcázni, sikertelenül a búcsúlevelet a tettes véletlenül arra a papírra írta, ami egy C4-es robbanószer megrendelőlapja volt. Beckett kezdetben kijön Natalie-vel, egészen míg Natalie nem kezdi el Beckett stílusát. E miatt Natalie is részt vesz Castle-ék jelenlegi gyilkossági nyomozásában. Később kiderül, hogy Donnynak rejtélyese módon pénze a nagy üzletre, és hogy a város alatti járatokban rejtőzik egy olyan kincs, amiért sokan öltek volna.Ĭastle regényét megfilmesítik, és a Beckettről mintázott Nikki Heat-et Natalie Rhodes fogja játszani. Hullát találnak a folyóban, aki nemrég vásárolta meg Castle kedvenc bárját. Időközben a rejtélyes jelenségek egyre többször fordulnak elő. Castle persze azt gondolja, a gyilkosok földönkívüliek, az eltűnések mögött pedig titkos ügynökök állnak. Kegyetlenséggel gyilkolnak meg egy asztrofizikust, aki kapcsolatot tartott egy ufókutatóval. „ Close Encounters of the Murderous Kind” Később megtalálják a második holttestet, így Castle és Becket gőzerővel dolgozik, hogy megmenthessék a harmadik áldozatot. Castle a helyszínen felismeri az áldozat halála alapján a Háromszoros gyilkos néven elhíresült ember módszerét, és később kiderül hogy a feltevése igaz, és a háromszoros gyilkos visszatért. Holtestet találnak találnak a sikátorban. A lehetséges gyilkosok között szerepel egy ápoló, sőt egy drogbáró is. A tárcán található ujjlenyomat alapján előállítják a gyanúsítottat, de ő gyorsan tisztázódik, amikor kiderül: az áldozatot egy 200 éves golyóval ölték meg.Įgy temetés közben véletlenül felborul a koporsó, és a résztvevők megdöbbenésére a halott férfi mellett egy halott nő is kiesik belőle, aki, mint kiderült, orvos volt egy helyi klinikán. Meggyilkolják egy tanácsadó cég egyik alkalmazottját egy New York-i parkban, ráadásul a ruháit is ellopják, de az áldozat pénztárcáját megtalálják. (Az első Beckettnek szól: a nyomozónőt meg fogja menteni egy Alexander nevű férfi, akivel szoros kapcsolatba kerülnek.) Az epizód végén megtudjuk Castle teljes születési nevét, amit az íróvá válása után változtatott anyja vezetéknevéről Castle-re. Az esetet végül Vivien lánya segít megoldani, aki maga is médiumi erényeket csillogtatott, és a második jóslata hamar bizonyítást lel. Chat megkéri Martha kezét, aki gondolkodik az ajánlaton, de végül nem neki kellett döntenie. Közben kiderül, hogy Vivien, a halott médium kiderítette egy korábbi haláleset körülményeit. Castle és Beckett vitát folytatnak arról, hogy valóban volt-e jóstehetsége, mivel Castle-nek már korábban is sikerrel jósolt, de Beckett nem hisz a médiumokban. Meggyilkolnak egy neves New York-i médiumot. Ott viszont, általános megdöbbenésükre, csak a lelőtt szobrásznő hulláját találják - és Rick Castle-t, egy pisztollyal a kezében. A tanárnőnél egy címet találnak, ami, mint kiderült, egy szobrásznő címe. Közben egy gyilkossághoz riasztják Beckettéket: egy kémiatanárnőt megöltek és kidobtak egy ablakon. III.évad _Įlérkezett az ősz, de Castle még nem jelentkezett Beckettéknél, akik egyre jobban hiányolják, de ugyanakkor dühösek is rá, amiért még csak nem is telefonál. ![]() NEW: OPTIONAL SIGN IN - You no longer need to create an account or sign in to use the GoPro app. Nice!īug fixes and performance enhancements. + Bug fixes and performance enhancements. + Media loads and downloads faster, and photos and videos on your Cloud tab display more quickly.

![]() ![]() It is critical to ensure good cleaning and pretreatment of metals and power washing and solvent wiping of plastic parts. The defect usually is due to dirty or otherwise contaminated surfaces. Unfortunately, when the coating is baked, any volatile contaminant such as a hydrocarbon or silicone oil is liable to be driven off in the oven This leaves nothing to analyze or such a miniscule amount that it takes expensive techniques like x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS or ESCA) or secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to identify it. However, contaminant identification is anything but easy and usually requires examination of individual craters by optical microscopy and analysis by techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIR), and/or infrared microscopy. If the contaminant can be identified, then there is a good chance that its source also can be found. Rigorous inspections of paint shops have turned up sources such as poor substrate cleaning, oily overhead chains, smoking ovens, oil in the compressed air, and dirty paint booths, but often there is no obvious cause. Unfortunately, it is difficult to identify contaminants and their source. The majority of cases that I have encountered in auto plants have involved contaminants falling on the wet coating during or soon after application, but the other possible causes always must be considered. Craters vary in size and appearance, even from a given contaminant. Shallow craters often can be polished out, but deep ones require sanding and repainting. This produces a surface tension gradient that causes flow away from the low surface tension area, resulting in a circular low spot (see Figure 1 for an example). Craters are caused by low surface tension contamination that is on the substrate being painted, is in the paint, or falls on the paint. Nearly all coatings people are familiar with craters, but they may not know much about them. These include craters, dewetting, telegraphing, picture framing (fat edges), and poor edge coverage. Many of the common day-to-day defects seen on car bodies are surface tension driven. Repairing of defects can lead to more problems, so the best strategy is to prevent them from occurring. All defects hurt appearance and some also can interfere with the corrosion or weathering protection aspects of the coatings. Craters undoubtedly are the most infamous and cause the greatest panic in the auto plant, but a number of other defects can occur. This article surveys some of the defects that automotive coatings experience when they are applied. Spraying is the worst possible way to apply automotive coatings if minimization of surface defects is desired, but it is the only way to obtain the gloss, color effects, and outstanding appearance that car buyers demand. ![]() As he vividly discusses in his lyrics, Jay Z also became a street hustler around this time, doing what needed to be done to make money. Known as 'Jazzy' in his neighborhood, he soon shortened his nickname to Jay Z and did all he could to break into the rap game. Without a man in the house, he became a self-supporting youth, turning to the streets, where he made a name for himself as a fledging rapper. After his self-declared retirement from rapping in 2003, he assumed the presidency of the seminal rap label Def Jam and, as an industry executive, embarked on another phase in his illustrious career.Born in 1969 and raised in the rough Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, New York, Jay Z underwent some tough times after his father left his mother before the young rapper was even a teen. ('Brooklyn's Finest') and DMX ('Cash, Money, Hoes'), to the best rappers from the South (Ludacris, Missy Elliott) and the West Coast (Snoop Dogg, Too Short). He similarly collaborated with the hottest rappers, everyone from East Coast contemporaries like the Notorious B.I.G. He consistently worked with the hottest producers of the day (DJ Premier, Teddy Riley, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz), and if they weren't hot at the time, they likely would be afterward (the Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder). Jay Z and his Roc-a-Fella associates greatly influenced the industry and established many of the trends that pervaded during the late '90s and early 2000s. He retained a strongly devoted fan base and challenged whatever rivals attempted to oust him from atop the rap game, sparring most memorably with Nas. In the wake of his 1996 debut, Reasonable Doubt, Jay Z's albums sold millions upon millions, and his endless parade of hits made him omnipresent on urban radio and video television.

Stardew Valley is different from other relaxation sims because of its in-depth character list. All of the Covenant siblings have disappeared for some time now and Jeremiah thinks that his staff all fear some sort of 'Covenant curse'. He explains to Patrick that some recent phenomena has spooked most of his staff and they have fled from the manor, sometimes stealing things along the way. ![]() Jeremiah says his condition is thanks to an old war wound. Upon entering the Covenant estate, Patrick discovers Jeremiah to be living semi-comfortably but he is in a sickly state. Patrick feels indebted to Covenant for saving his life during World War I. Patrick's friend, Jeremiah Covenant, has sent him a letter asking for his assistance in some unexplained matter. Galloway, by his own account, is a man steeped in occult knowledge and is often hired to investigate matters relating to superstitions and other phenomena. In October of 1923, a man named Patrick Galloway arrives in Ireland by ship. ![]() The trans-dimensional unspeakable horrors fell to Lovecraft while the inner-machinations of the haunted family estate fell into “ The Fall of the House of Usher” -territory according to Barker. Patrick would later refer to him in passing as 'the shaman whose life I took', a reference to the way he replaced Wolfram as the protagonist.Ĭlive Barker viewed the project as a whole as taking heavy influence from H.P. The character model for Magnus Wolfram was used in the game, however, as a shaman in the opening cutscene, the previous owner of the Gel'ziabar Stone. Barker's goal was to create an approachable lead role that players could easily assume. He then created the more realistic protagonist, Patrick Galloway. Barker supposedly turned to the design team and said 'How many of you know a count?'. This original character design struck Barker as hard to relate to. DreamWorks' original lead character design was named Count Magnus Wolfram, who was bald, tattooed, possessed superhuman strength, and was heavily stylized in a “comic book hero” type fashion according to Barker. Once Clive Barker was attached to the project his first and most notable change was with the games lead protagonist. The game was originally slated to be part of a Steven Spielberg project. DreamWorks Interactive had invested some time into the game's development before Clive Barker's involvement. Horror writer and director, Clive Barker, best known as creator of the “Hellraiser” film franchise, was brought in by the developer to consult on the story and characters.
