![]() Given what happened shortly afterwards, it was probably a good call. However, he possibly realized that sorting out payment with the IMC over Coopers' life would have taken so long that BT would have likely recovered by the time payment had been agreed upon, so didn't even attempt to, and instead opted to leave. If he really wanted Cooper dead (which he logically would), he could have negotiated a new contract there-and-then to kill him. All his talk of "If you wanted me to kill him, it should have been in my contract" may have also been him being savvy, too.For Blisk, a man who's explicitly Only in It for the Money, Cooper just did him a huge favour. Considering the high stakes of the Typhon operation, the contract was probably worth a lot of money, money he had just received moments earlier. Not just that, by killing the rest of the Apex Predators Cooper has ensured that Blisk is the sole recipient of their paycheck from Marder and the IMC for delivering the Ark core, instead of splitting it six ways had the rest of the team survived.As such, how exactly does killing Cooper now, when he can't fight back, prove that Blisk is better than him? It's not a case of not killing him because he has no reason to (fiscally or otherwise), but a case of he won't kill Cooper in anything less than a fair fight, in order to prove that he's better than him. I kill you, I'm better", which implies that killing another person is a show of superiority to him. Blisk believes "You kill me, you're better. Cooper's wiped out most of his unit more-or-less single-handedly, so he's a Worthy Opponent. Why doesn't Blisk finish off Cooper after the Fold weapon knocks out BT with Cooper still inside, helpless? It's part of his philosophy.Still, given the circumstances surrounding the two possibilities on how she died (crushed in BTs' hand, or being inside her Titan when it explodes), she can't have been in good shape when they found her. How exactly did Ash come back to lead the multiplayer function, given that she died inside an IMC facility that exploded, on a planet that also exploded? Sloan mentions finding both Ash and Kane before the planet explodes (more specifically, during the mission to repair the communications tower so the Militia troops on the planet can contact their forces safely), so its' possible they recovered Ash then, a good while before the planet explodes.So, possibly that calling card is a sincere job offer to Cooper. ![]() He'll need people who've proven themselves effective and lethal. Another possibility is that Blisk is very much aware that his outfit is dead and if he wanted to take on another big contract, he'd need a new crew again and he doesn't want to waste obvious talent.And, by letting Cooper stop Marder's plans and destroy the Fold Weapon, Blisk will keep the Frontier War going, giving him more opportunities to ply his mercenary trade. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Cowering's Good Tools includes a tool called GoodSV, which catalogues 69 Supervision games as of version 3.27. Like many consoles, the Watara Supervision has lived on through emulation (see MESS).

Sound: 2 Tonal and 1 Noise Channel plus additional audio DMA stereo output channel.There was no hardware video acceleration, graphics had to be drawn by software to a framebuffer. CPU: 8-bit 65C02 processor, running at 4 MHz.Quickshot's UK version of the Supervision was heavily featured for a time on ITV's gaming show Bad Influence! Presenter Violet Berlin could be seen playing a Supervision in many of the show's publicity photos. It was also offered as a prize on the premiere of the similarly short-lived The New Price is Right in 1994. In the mid 1990s, the Supervision was once offered as a final prize on the television game show Legends of the Hidden Temple (as well as Masters of the Maze). This version was also the initial release in North America, although without the QuickShot branding. The QuickShot version differed from the original Watara format by having the console body split into two parts enabling the screen to be tilted in relation to the control section. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, it was released as the 泰可BOY (Tiger Boy). To keep their costs down, Watara farmed out the international marketing and distribution to third parties leading to various versions including the QuickShot Supervision, Travell Mate, Hartung SV-100, and Electrolab in Argentina, under two different models: the Supervision (in a form factor resembling Nintendo's Game Boy) and the Hipervision. Up against Nintendo's list of popular franchises ( Zelda, Mario, Metroid) and those of its third parties ( Castlevania, Mega Man) - all of which eventually surfaced on the Game Boy - the Supervision's games were of little interest to most. ![]() Only a tiny handful of games were developed by third parties, including Sachen and the British developer B.I.T.S. ![]() Yet another problem was that most of the games that were available were developed in Taiwan or Hong Kong, meaning that fans of big-name Western and Japanese developers were underwhelmed by the apparent lack of support from these companies. Reasons commonly cited are the poor quality screen which was prone to blurring and made following the action difficult, a general lack of games and the simplistic nature of those that were released. Though the machine garnered some attention at launch (mainly due to the low price for the machine and its games, which many felt might enable it to make inroads into Nintendo's market share) it was ultimately unsuccessful in unseating the Game Boy from its position as the world's most popular handheld. ![]() The Watara Supervision with tilting screenġ60×160 pixel resolution, 4 shades of grey ![]() ![]() ![]() Parabolic dish microwave antenna with what appeared to be a variable directivity pattern Karlson US 2586827 “Directive Radiating System” Filed Maa KARLSON AND KARLSON-RELATED SPEAKER PATENTS One excellent audio example of that waveguide X15 speaker which employed a similar slotted waveguide.

So my question is, what was the real inspiration behind the Karlson Coupler? Could John Karlson have stumbled onto the the same patent I did? Now, I have visited some of the most popular Karlson forums, and have read a few long winded theories about how the tube was designed that actually make acoustical sense, some of which I have repeated and demonstrated to my colleagues, but a search of three Karlson patents revealed that the patent number for the nozzle never appeared in any of them. ![]() The image and description of it's operation bore a striking resemblance to the Karlson Coupler.

This direct sequel to the original 1974 slasher follows a group of idealistic young friends who accidentally cause the death of an elderly woman when they move into a remote Texan town. ![]() It completely misunderstands what audiences want from a horror film - watching characters run for their lives from a chainsaw-wielding maniac is only fun when we’re actually given a reason to care about these people, which this film completely neglects to do. The film rejects everything that made Tobe Hooper’s original so great, instead opting to sideline its underdeveloped and unreliable characters in order to highlight the film’s excessive brutality and meaningless kills. And sadly, Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre is just the next in a long, long line of carelessly constructed and thoughtlessly executed attempts to recapture the magic of their predecessor. And now, as we firmly enter the 2020s, horror is moving in a different direction - the legacy sequel.Īlthough the legacy sequel wasn’t strictly born within the horror genre (franchise revivals like The Force Awakens and Jurassic World arguably created the fad first), it’s quickly growing synonymous with the genre thanks to our unrelenting enthusiasm to bring back beloved franchises and characters to cash in on the nostalgia and sentimentality of their cult-classic status. After the flood of sequels and remakes in the early 2000s came the emergence of ‘elevated’ or ‘social’ horror, with intelligent and revolutionary films like Get Out and The Invisible Man leading the way for horror to be a catalyst for social and political commentary. The 90s brought a resurgence of subversive, psychological horrors such as The Sixth Sense and Ring, alongside the iconic horror/comedies of Scream. In the 1980s, we had slashers - gory masterpieces like Friday the 13th and John Carpenter’s Halloweenfranchise, which introduced audiences to the thrill of raw, bloody violence and unpredictable kills. ![]() If there’s one genre that’s constantly reimagining and reinventing itself more than any other, it’s horror. ![]() ![]() ![]() BINGE has a host of drama, comedy and HBO shows on offer, along with a wealth of other great content.

With concerns about the company’s jurisdiction and how they implement their security, I took a close look at the IDrive Terms of Service (ToS) document, which was last updated April 24, 2015. It is something you need to pay close attention to if you want your data to be completely secure. We’ll talk more about this situation later in the review. The AES 256 encryption the company uses is secure if you have control over your encryption key, but that is not always the case when you use IDrive. This is definitely not ideal since the company is also based in the United States, part of the Five Eyes surveillance network. IDrive stores your data on one or more servers in the United States. Since IDrive does offer optional end-to-end encryption, we decided to investigate further. If a service offers strong end-to-end (E2E) encryption, this can mitigate most concerns about the US jurisdiction.

Camo was hugely popular among hip hop artists like Tupac, but also became super popular with the youth based on how inexpensive and accessible it was. If you really want to be inspired by the hip hop artists of the 90s and 2000s, you can’t lose with a camo jacket.
