![]() "As long as there is none of my traditional overturning-of-the-tea-table, we should be on schedule," he added. Miyamoto concluded by confirming Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be released next year. But while you can expect new stuff, don't expect more of it - "This game contains pretty much roughly the same amount of content as Super Mario Galaxy did." New features will include the drill you can use to open up stages, and the ability to muck about with Yoshi. "More than 90 per cent of what you see in Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be brand new," said Miyamoto. They decided to develop a fully-fledged sequel instead, one that will feature plenty of unfamiliar content. But once we got started, the team got so excited and started making all of this new stuff." "So we thought what the heck, let's make Super Mario Galaxy 1.5. "There was so much more gameplay we weren't able to use, and we were a little disappointed," Miyamoto continued. He said that when the first SMG game was completed, the development team was left with "tons of ideas" they hadn't been able to squeeze in. Miyamoto was speaking during a behind-closed-doors presentation at E3. The Korean and Taiwanese releases of the game contain more leftover folders.Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that "about 90 per cent" of the content in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is new - adding that the figure could be as high as 99 per cent. In order to progress through the game, Mario will need to be Collecting Stars.In Super Mario Galaxy 2, there are 7 'Worlds,' each containing 5-7 galaxies. There are unused, empty, folders for scrapped/test galaxies and zones in the StageData directory. In addition, the grassy hedge wall curling around the wooden platform is taller in the level select banner. Giant Goombeetles do not exist anywhere in the game's files.Ĭloudy Court Galaxy Level Select Banner Level Select BannerĬloudy Court Galaxy's level select banner lacks a few aesthetic features, such as the green vines growing up the planets, and the little yellow flowers on the trees. The zone containing the second planet of Supermassive Galaxy is called SmallBigMetboZone, indicating that it was meant to have Goombeetles (Metbo) instead of three giant Koopa Troopas. There is another zone in Rolling Masterpiece that actually has Flipswitch Panels, but that's a separate zone called tamakoroPanel02Zone. Its name TamakoroFlipPanel02Zone, references Flipswitch Panels. Bob-omb (BombHei) is not used anywhere in the level.Īccording to its name, ChaosBossBussunZone, the boss section from Flipsville Galaxy was originally meant to appear in Upside Dizzy Galaxy. ![]() The topmost section of Upside-Dizzy Galaxy's first room is called SwitchGravityBombHeiPlanet. The bonus room full of steps, featured in Puzzle Plank Galaxy's purple coin run and other galaxies, is named IslandFleetCoinRoomPlanetZone, despite never appearing in Sky Station Galaxy. These things together hint that this planet must have received a graphical overhaul at some point, and was likely re-purposed to fit earlier in the game. What's more, there are two empty objects that were meant to go with it, DrumSeparateRocketPlanetGravityStep and DrumSeparateRocketPlanetMoveParts. The second planet in Sky Station Galaxy, which features a grassy path to a curvy house, is called DrumSeparateRocketPlanet despite not looking anything like a rocket. Level Design Changes Sky Station Galaxy Planets The internal project name for the game is, amusingly, Super Mario Galaxy More.

![]() ![]() It also gives the speaker a more durable feel and even though it doesn’t look it, it survived a few drops with not even a scratch.Ĭonnection strength is fairly standard for this speaker, and I experienced minimal issues unless testing range.Īs far as connection goes these never had a dropped signal in average usage. Naturally, this now makes it perfect if you want to bring it to the beach or a pool party. This means that instead of being just splash-resistant, it’s entirely waterproof and can be submerged for up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter. The rubberized plastic gives it a great grip and the fabric covering makes this one IPX7 waterproof, giving it a one-up on the original which only had an IPX4 certification. Start here: What makes a good Bluetooth speaker? On the front is also where you’ll find the signature UE Boom + and – buttons that control volume. A fabric covering surrounds the speaker save for the plastic that makes up the top, bottom, and front of the speaker. In fact, it’s almost identical to the original. Anyone who is even vaguely familiar with the original UE Boom will find this one very familiar. We’re looking at the “Lost Time” special edition speaker by James Reka, but whichever one you get will have the same build and design just with a different color fabric. UE does plenty of collaborations with artists for limited edition speakers, and this one is by James Reka. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two SAMRC Collaborating Centres on TB or HIV research, with collaborators based in other UCT departments or South African institutions: ![]()
![]() ![]() The quest where my Sim's cat decided he was going to take over the whole world was my favorite. ![]() The Cry Havoc and Feral Possession Karma powers were some of the funniest things I have ever seen on any Sims game! Both games have Quest missions that do not appear in the PC version. Some of the game-play features, especially the Karma Powers system, can be very entertaining. They are still fun to play, especially Sims 3 Pets, but the graphics are extremely dated. I expect hardware limitations of the XBox 360 console was a factor in all this. There is a good amount of CAS items in both games but not much as far as color customization goes. You can do some Build/Buy modifications to the lots but the game puts a limit on how much you can change. If you travel between two neighborhoods there is a loading screen like Sims 4. The worlds in these games are broken up into smaller neighborhoods, much like Sims 4 is today, and not the open worlds of Sims 3 on PC. Game saves and Sims will not transfer between the two of them.īoth are very different than the PC version. There are no expansion packs, Sims store items, or real DLC for either one. They are completely separate games, the Sims 3 Pets is a stand-alone game and not an expansion pack. ![]() The TS3 section of the official forum doesn't have many (or possibly any) active console players you'd probably have better luck somewhere have both The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 Pets for XBox 360 but I haven't played them in years. But you could always ask about languages on a dedicated gaming site. There aren't any regular posters here who play TS3 on console, at least as far as I know. Which languages are available might depend on where you buy the game, but at the very least, it should say what's available on the back of the box. If you're interested in more details, here are a couple of useful links:Īs far as supported languages go. It also has a few features not present in the PC version.

Arial has become the default font on Excel, Word and PowerPoint. It can also be used to design logos and posters. The typeface is great to be used in the body texts. All the individual styles have been created with about 144 language support capacities, which allow them to be accessible across the globe.Īrial font family comprises many versions, including Arial Black, Arial Narrow, Arial Light, Arial Rounded etc. The font contains more than 30 distinctive styles including Medium, Regular, Bold Italic, Narrow Italic, Excess Bold Italic, Extra Bold, Condensed, Condensed Medium, Black Italic, CE Regular, Light-weight and more. It has rounder, fuller and softer curves, has terminal strokes in diagonal cuts and displays less mechanical appearance. Arial font was created to be metrically equivalent to the Helvetica typeface so it can be used to display and print documents without owning a license for Helvetica.Īrial has more humanist characteristics than most of the nineteenth-century faces. Later, the font became available for Mac OS X and all Postscript based laser printers. However, the font became popular through Microsoft after being included in the Font Suite of the Windows 3.1 operating system since 1992. Arial was initially developed for IBM’s 240-DPI 3800–3 laser xerographic printer and IBM changed the name of the font to Sonoran Sans-serif to avoid licence restriction. It was designed by a team headed by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders for Monotype typography in 1982.

![]() ![]() It is important to have the smooth side of the leather on the inside of the cup. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole in a 2 inch square piece of leather and fastened it with the machine screw at the end of the pump rod through the spacer and the crown and tightened it up. The thickness is really important as the inside of the pump barrel is 3/4 of an inch and the fittings at the end of the pump rod were 5/8 of an inch wide. What to do? So, I went to the local leather/shoe shop and got some scraps that were 1/16 of an inch thick. You can get a complete seal kit, but they cost more than 10 times than this gun, which originally sold for $8.00 new and the only part I needed was a pump cup. ![]() After searching for a new pump cup on the internet I found several but they again would not ship to Canada. That is the spot everything is zeroed at, so probably no one else can accurately shoot this gun as my sight picture is weird after cataract surgery. The peep sight which I installed many years ago was getting loose at the peep, so I epoxied it at the sweet spot for 20 yd. The gun was always well oiled but the leather pump cup was just wore out. Finally the pump action became very weak. Again not pretty but it never broke and was stronger than original. The bolt handle broke at the thread, so I Brazed it back on as I couldn't find the part at the time. The kids managed to break the solder on the barrel so I moved the barrel over with a piece of wood trying not to bend the barrel and cleaned the top front of the pump chamber with some acid and silver soldered it with some flux and a propane brazing torch at the front sight support. Amazingly most of the original bluing remains and the shiny brass parts lend character. Lately it was showing signs of age and I had extreme difficulty in getting any parts into Canada and have had to cobble together some bush/basement fixes. ![]() Over the years it has suffered its fair share of damage, drops and wear but it has always been a shooter and held air without leakage. Even then, it was too stiff for them to pump more than a couple of time. My two boys were taught safe handling and respected firearms from using this gun at an early age. It has the tootsie roll fore stock and the screw in bolt handle, if that will help and no serial number anywhere. A friend who bought it new claimed he bought it around 1956. This ancient pumper BB gun has been a trusted gun in my possession for over 50 years. ![]() ![]() ![]() They initially had it as a section in their own magazine The VIP of Gaming, but it soon became a separate publication again with the previous numbering and format, but with the name Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer.

We'll still be heavily involved-but SJ Games won't be the publisher any longer. The change to bimonthly publication was not enough to allow SJG to focus on new games as they wished, and in 1985, it was announced, "We've sold Space Gamer. Like Metagaming before it, the effort of producing a magazine became greater than its publisher was willing to bear. As it has for the past year, Space Gamer will appear bimonthly, giving us the time to get some games done, as well." The best way to do this was to merge Space Gamer and Fantasy Gamer. We had to find some way to preserve what little sanity we had left. "You see, we were churning out magazines - Space Gamer, Fantasy Gamer, Fire & Movement, and Autoduel Quarterly - at the rate of two a month!. Fantasy Gamer ran six issues before being folded back into Space Gamer: In 1983, the magazine was split into two separate bimonthly magazines published in alternating months: Space Gamer (losing the definite article with the split in Number 64), and Fantasy Gamer the former concentrating entirely on science fiction, and the latter on fantasy. from on, it'll be a monthly magazine." The magazine stayed with SJG for the next five years, during which it was at its most popular and influential. ![]() After the change in ownership Metagaming feels comfortable with the decision it was the right thing to do." In the same issue, Steve Jackson announced, "TSG is going monthly. In the first Steve Jackson Games (SJG) issue Howard Thompson wrote a report on Metagaming and stated "Metagaming's staff won't miss the effort. When Steve Jackson departed Metagaming to found his own company, he also secured the right to publish The Space Gamer from number 27 on. By issue 17, it had grown to a full size bimonthly magazine, printed on slick paper.
