Tales of symphonia chronicles test12/29/2023 If you haven?t played either of the originals it wouldn?t be too obvious, but to people more attuned to noticing things like that it could be picked up on fairly easily. This is definitely noticeable when playing the game, especially for someone like me who was used to the GameCube version. The one problem this brings is that the PS2 version of Symphonia ran at only 30 fps instead of the 60 fps on the GameCube. The Symphonia included here is a remake of the PlayStation 2 version (not the GameCube version) and Dawn of the New World (DotNW) is a remake of the Wii version. This game is an HD collection of the two older Tales games included, which originally came out in 20 respectively. It took me roughly 10 minutes total to install both games. The first time playing either will require an install on your system. When you first start up the game you are taken to a screen where you can access either of the included games. There is also a Collector?s Edition for $99.99 (whose features I discuss later) though I am not sure if much stock for it is still available. These games are also offered individually on the PSN for $19.99 each. The release includes both Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for $39.99 on a single disc. Namco Bandai have recently been showing a lot of love to their North American fan base and the new Tales of Symphonia Chronicles release on the PlayStation 3 is a great example of that. Progress: 9 hours of playtime in Symphonia, 6 hours of playtime in Dawn of the New World (Previously beat both original GameCube and Wii versions) Launch Price: $39.99 (both games on a physical disc) or $19.99 (each on the PSN store) Players: Symphonia 1-4, Dawn of the New World 1-2

Bitdefender blocks ctivo12/29/2023 Mercifully, she is nothing like the horrid child actress that Dakota Fanning was - Fanning always over-acted or constantly over-emoted and ruined many movies in the process! (However, luckily for movie addicts, Fanning has grown up finally understanding what tolerable acting is all about in "Push" and "New Moon"). The child actress Ferland is suitably creepy and understated at times and menacingly over-the-top at the right moments. We can only hope she attends therapy regularly after being so frazzled playing the role. Case 39 sees, Zellweger (who, incidentally, looks like she has those chipmunk cheeks that are full of nuts, or whatever!) giving a good leading lady performance. What transpires as a result and what Lily is capable of make for an intriguing watch indeed. Oh, and a few people around Emily either die or are murdered under suspicious conditions soon after. Lily, is a little maestro at mind games and before you can say, "Emily you stupid fool.", Lily's parents are jailed and Emily has already taken the girl into her very own home. Yes, literally, as her parents go completely Middle Eastern on Lily and try to "kebab" her. The acting, of course, has to work for such directorial devices to work and the cast is rather up to the task.Īnyway, not following departmental procedure, Emily pokes her nose into the Lily family's affair and ends up rescuing the little girl from being roasted alive. The tension during these moments are so, well, taut, in fact, if you were a musician, you could pluck the spooky Psycho violin tune during these times! Provided you could un-tense yourself, in the first place, to pluck the strings. The opening scenes that extend to include Emily's visit, are excellent with really, REALLY tight shots (so tight, you feel like saying out aloud, apologetically, "Oh, so sorry Miss Zellweger - I didn't mean to be so in your face! Oops, you two too - Mr and Mrs Lily's parents!"). If that is the case, could Emily perchance do something to help the poor child?įollowing departmental procedure, she pays Lily a visit and finds her parents' behaviour odd. She wonders if poor Lily is being abused in anyway at home. But the real fun is in watching this film - it is rather well constructed.)Īnyway, it should come as no surprise at all that a child welfare woman Emily Jenkins (Renee Zellweger) is terribly concerned when she reads the case file numbered 39. (I know, I know - that comparison with Sadako gave pretty much a lot away. These are her own BIOLOGICAL parents - and they are very biologically intent on killing this sweet child. And mind you, these are not her foster parents. You'd be distressed too if your parents are trying to kill you all the time. Sadly, she is having a troubled young life. Lily (Jodelle Ferland) is just an ordinary child who is so very sweet. Well, if dear departed and supremely demented pre-teen Sadako had an American kin, she would probably be very much like Lily in Case 39. Remember that fabulous modern Japanese horror classic The Ring ( Ringu) from 1998? If you are a horror aficionado, you probably do. (SPOILER ALERT: The first paragraph pretty much reveals what the film is all about. Starring Renee Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Kerry O'Malley, Callum Keith Rennie, Bradley Cooper, Adrian Lester, Georgia Craig, Cynthia Stevenson, Mary Black Shenmue 3 forklift12/29/2023 This game did a lot of things new for its time and is now a cult classic. The camera does a great job for the most part and it's controls are good and responsive( the only down side is the walking controls which can be a bit awardward at first but you can adjust to it over time plus the rest of the other game modes are fine)The pacing is a bit slow but then gets better as you progress through the game Shenmue is a fantastic experience and something I recommend to people who like sandbox, fighting, RPG plus a good storyline. there is a lot of variety in it's gameplay from detective work, Fighting up bad guys, riding a forklift, QTEs and buying items from various shops. The game has so many things you can do to by pass the time with being able to play arcade classics like Space Harrier and Hang on, play darts, buy drinks, listening to music tapes and practicing martial arts to get better. Shenmue 1 & 2 are my favorite games of all time, I loved these games because of the atsmphrere, graphics/art design, music, sound effects, level design, storyline, characters, voice acting that's funny and cheesy(which imo adds charm and likability to the game) in English but sounds great in Japanese. The game starts out a bit boring and slow, but soon afterwards, it begins to pick up pace and Shenmue then reveals it's shine. It's story, interactivity, logic, and fun makes a pure gaming experience. Shenmue is a game that may attract gamers and non-gamers alike. These events are in the form of controlling a cinematic event within the game, and provides a better experience. This may sound simple but is actually fun, and heart-pumping. There is also "QTE" (quick-time event) in which you must press a certain button in a certain amount of time. The fights in the game are challenging and fun, with wonderfully animated moves that look like they belong in a kung-fu flick. In the process of gathering clues, you will go into fights that will play as a 3D fighting game, mostly like Virtua Fighter. Shenmue provides a progressing storyline that will keep you mystified and addicted to it's gameplay. You can open ever drawer and closet in your house, buy and drink a soda, play in the arcades (with two full versions of old-school classics), raise a kitten, talk to every person, ride a motorcycle, and even take a part-time job with riding a forklift. The game's environment is fully interactable in a legal fashion (for example, you can't just barge into a house.you'll knock first). Shenmue is the closest a game has ever come to reality. One spirit book club12/29/2023 Here’s a quote from a chapter in Foolsgoldcalled, “Freeing the Creek:” Beautiful, beautiful! And, of course a book that may save your life.” My mom (who is featured in the book) says, “Read it!”īe sure to check the calendar for readings or workshops near you.

It’s all about your objectives. Regardless of whether the fund beats the market in a given year, you’ll have to keep paying the fund’s annual expense ratio. But beware-a number of studies have concluded that, in a typical year, most funds fail to outperform the broader market. If you’re buying a fund with a high management fee, you are essentially paying for alpha, or the fund’s ability to beat the broader market. Or you may be willing to pay a higher 12b-1 fee if you’re buying the fund on a platform that offers research, support, and guidance of real value to you. You may be willing to pay more for a fund managed by a person or team that you believe understands the markets. Is a Higher Expense Ratio Worth It?įees aren’t the entire story when it comes to mutual funds. For example, in 2021, the average expense ratio of actively managed equity mutual funds was 0.68%, versus just 0.06% for equity index funds. Index funds typically have much lower expense ratios. Other funds simply invest according to an index that covers an entire market (e.g., the S&P 500), or a market sector, such as U.S. For such funds, the management fee is by far the largest component of the expense ratio. One reason for the wide discrepancy in fees is that some funds are actively managed, meaning they have a portfolio manager and team of analysts who actively research, select, buy, and sell securities in the portfolio. That’s why it’s important to examine the fees charged by a given fund before you buy. They come out on a regular basis, regardless of how the fund performs, and can vary widely from fund to fund. But the fees charged by the mutual fund are known. “Past performance does not indicate future results,” as the boilerplate disclaimers say. No one can predict future returns on a given fund. Google forms vs jotform12/29/2023 Just click on the paint palette icon in the top right of the editor to bring up the menu. Google Forms has a super-easy customization menu where you can change the colors and fonts of your form in seconds. Because it’s free and doesn’t include a lot of advanced features, there’s nothing really complicated to learn. Even if you’re not, the intuitive editor is user-friendly (and beginner-friendly, too). If you’re already familiar with other Google Editors like Docs or Sheets, then using Google Forms will be incredibly easy for you. Available add-ons for forms include formLimiter (which puts a limit on the number of times your form can be submitted) and Form Notifications (to customize email notifications of form submissions). Apps are free to install but some require you to subscribe to a plan with the third-party provider. These are mostly third-party apps that add extra features to the form builder. Add-OnsĪs with other products in G Suite, Google Forms supports add-ons. This makes filling out a form more intuitive for your visitors – meaning they’re less likely to abandon the process. Google Forms offers basic conditional logic as part of its feature set, so you can automatically have respondents skip sections of your forms depending on the options they select. With some form builders, conditional logic is a feature that’s only available on paid plans. This is particularly useful for managing your customer relationship list and keeping track of event registrations. Not only does this save you the time of manually managing your form submissions, it also makes it easy for you to share submissions with others. When someone submits a form created with Google Forms, a new entry is automatically saved into a Google Sheets spreadsheet. When you want to share your forms, you can share a link, send in an email, share via social media, or embed your form into your website by copying and pasting the HTML code. Google Forms has an interesting feature where you can convert your form into a quiz and enable auto-grading, so respondents will receive a “grade” according to the number of points they score. There’s no limit to the number of questions you can add to your forms, and you can arrange your questions in sections, too. There’s no direct way to offer Google Forms in multiple languages – form respondents who don’t speak the language will have to make do with the “translate this page” option.įorm fields (or question types) include short answer, paragraph, multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown, file upload, linear scale, and date. It’s likely to meet most of your needs for basic business or personal forms, but, of course, it’s not going to give you the full set of advanced features like you’d get with JotForm or Cognito Forms, for example. For a completely free form builder, Google Forms has a great set of features. Zoiper no audio12/29/2023 DD-WRT does not have a SIP ALG feature that I'm aware of. That server's purpose is to circumvent SIP ALG issues. It has nothing to do with Rogers specifically. You might want to contact the developer or support team and provide them with log files from Zoiper to help you troubleshoot. I notice Zoiper has a community forum located at. If the problem is the RTP stream isn't even reaching your router in the first place, then the issue likely involves SIP headers (possibly RTP packets are being sent to a LAN IP instead of your WAN IP from FPL's server). Port forwarding is a security risk and should only be attempted when all else fails. If the problem is a NAT firewall issue, according to their Zoiper Windows screenshot, you'd have to port forward UDP 8000 and then the entire UDP port range from 32000 to 65535 to the LAN IP Zoiper windows app uses random UDP port range between 32000 to 65535. If you can't hear incoming audio, then RTP packets (audio stream) aren't reaching your device. If you're using multiple VoIP devices simultaneously, ensure they're not all using the same local SIP port and RTP port range. Stun servers introduce an additional point of failure (when they drop, so does your service). There's no need to specify outbound proxy. My Freephoneline accounts work fine using Acrobits Groundwire (smartphone app) and the Freephoneline desktop app (Windows 10).įreephoneline doesn't proxy outbound audio.

The issue started around January 28th, 2020 (plus minus a day). Is there anything I can do? I've tried different ports, using an outbound proxy, stun server, RTP signalling, basically everything I could think of, and the same result. However, when I call FPL/Fongo numbers, it's working fine. I get one way audio (they hear me, I can't hear them) when calling landlines or mobile phones. It's not app specific, or ISP or wether I'm on 3G, LTE or wifi, since it is happening on both my Android phone and my Windows machine. Never had issues with one way audio until about 2 weeks ago. Always been using the server, sometimes voip2 when things go down. I've been using different software, but find Zoiper for Android, and Zoiper classic for windows works best. Never had issues running it on my Android phones and windows PCs. In case you need any additional support, please write back to us.Been using FPL (paid for unlock key) for years.

Power-ups can be equipped at the purple/pink lightning bolt on the map after you purchase the stores from the wizard in an area. They're both relatively easy, but there's also an optional third event that you can do just for the sake of having one of the power-ups unlocked, but it's not necessary for the achievement. There are technically only two events that you'll have to complete. So to start things off, most of the power-ups are unlocked by participating in events, which are marked on the map with a green square with a flag. My guess is that you would likely have to go through the process of completing all of the events with the host as a way for the game to recognize that you earned them, or the game really just wants you to buy that DLC. Equipping all of the power-ups after that worked for other people that were having problems.ĮDIT: Several of the comments have stated that they didn't get the achievement even if they joined someone else's lobby and equipped them. I can further confirm this since I helped one person get it that was unsuccessful when it first came out.ĮDIT 2: If you don't have the DLC and the achievement isn't unlocking for you, try completing each of the events on a local save prior to joining any public lobbies. As of now, it seems like you'll either have to purchase it or wait for another update that potentially fixes it.ĮDIT 3: According to FFX Brotherhood, they updated the game, and people that were previously unable to complete the achievement are actually getting it to pop. Before proceeding, note that you'll either have to purchase the Stunt Sets and Dress Code DLC, or you'll have to join a lobby in which the host has the DLC otherwise, you'll be unable to equip several of the power-ups.Īs of 10/7/22, equipping a host's power-ups does not pop the achievement if you don't have the DLC yourself.ĮDIT 4: They did yet another update that broke this achievement for those that haven't purchased the DLC.
