![]() ![]() The TH vehicle might even be a bit better than the Blok Squad one, as its open back provides extra playability.ĭon’t, however, expect the TH effort to be too much better than the previous one. Whereas the the Blok Squad HUMVEE was fairly realistic, I think it’s safe to say that the True Heroes one isn’t based on any real military vehicle. The True Heroes HUMVEE is completely different from the Blok Squad one. One has to wonder why MB opted to downgrade the figures. The True Heroes heads are flat, while the Blok Squad figures get fully sculpted heads. The figures are based on the Bloks Squad soldiers and their only deviation from the formula is their heads. (link to picture.) While I’ve complained about the lack of compatibility between Command Ops-style guns and Blok Squad-style figures, I’m happy to announce that the FAMAS’s grip does, indeed, plug into the back of a figure! We also get four guns: two Command Ops MP5s and two Command Ops FAMASs. Even though the True Heroes soldier is my first black minifig (Thanks a lot, LEGO.) I have to say that I prefer the Stealth figure. The True Heroes figure gets a boring badge and camo design printed on his chest, while the Stealth figure gets a bandoleer and bulletproof vest. We get one True Heroes trooper and one Stealth soldier. The figures are about what one might expect from this kind of set. Maybe the real price difference between True Heroes and HALO lies not in the bricks or figures, but in the number of CPU cycles Mega is willing to spend on the packaging. ![]() The other problem is that the back uses the exact same render as the front. It should be interesting to see how the secondary market deals with this, if at all. ![]() First off, a large area of the back is dedicated to letting the customer know that, yes, this set is exclusive to Toys R Us. The back of the box is only worth mentioning for two reasons. It may be eye-catching, but it certainly doesn’t look very militaristic. This would only be par for the course if it weren’t for the bright green True Heroes logo spreading over the top. It shows one lone Stealth trooper running from his base to attack the True Heroes HUMVEE with all the necessary explosions and gunfire going off. Let’s start with the larger of the two sets.īloks Forum Topic (Original topic: Dec 19th, 2011) I eagerly purchased the Army Assault and Rescue Rover sets, but school kept me from writing up reviews until now. While most of the set designs weren’t quite as good as those from the Blok Squad army sets, it was clear that this line wouldn’t be plagued with supply issues like Blok Squad was. When the True Heroes sets were found, I was excited. ![]()

![]() The value of the Affinity Diagram game increases when two conditions are met. Your visual may end up looking like the one below. If the players produce categories that are significantly different, pay attention to which category gets the most approval from the group and write that one. If there’s disagreement over “Facilities” versus “Infrastructure,” write them both. Don’t let the players spend an inordinate amount of time agreeing on a name for a category. Once the content is sorted, ask the group to suggest categories that represent the columns you’ve created and write the categories they agree on at the top of the column (or near a cluster if you chose a cluster rather than a column display). At this stage, ask the players to try to avoid searching for higher categories and simply to focus on grouping the information based on the affinities.Ħ. It’s helpful to leave repeated ideas posted since it indicates to the group how many people are thinking the same thing. Redundancy in ideas is OK don’t discard sticky notes because they’re already represented. Create a sticky-note “parking lot” close to the display for ideas that don’t appear to fall into a natural category. Have the players approach the wall to post their notes-it saves time-and allow them to do an initial, general sorting in columns or clusters.ĥ. Involve the group in the process as much as possible. Based on guidance from the players, sort the ideas into columns (or clusters) based on relationships. It should end up resembling the following figure.Ĥ. Collect the ideas from the group and post them on a flat working surface visible to everyone. Conduct this part of the process silently.ģ. Use index cards on a table if you have a group of four or less. Ask each player to take 10 minutes to generate sticky notes in response to the question. Conduct this game only when you have a question for the players that you know will generate at least 20 pieces of information to sort.Ģ. On a sheet of flip-chart paper, write a question the players will respond to along with a visual that complements it. Use an affinity diagram when you want to find categories and meta-categories within a cluster of ideas and when you want to see which ideas are most common within the group.ĭuration of Play: Depends on the number of players, but a maximum of 1.5 hoursġ. It can also give us a sense of where most people’s thinking is focused. ![]() ![]() Using a simple Affinity Diagram technique can help you discover embedded patterns in your data (and sometimes break old patterns) of thinking by sorting and clustering language-based information into relationships and sexual health. But it begs the follow-up question of how to gather meaning from all the data. ![]() Brainstorming works to get a high quantity of information on the table. Most of us are familiar with brainstorming-a method by which a group generates as many ideas around a topic as possible in a limited amount of time. Affinity mapping, originally uploaded by dgray_xplane. ![]() ![]() I will put down below what I think makes the exploit possible, in case the developers want to remove it from the game. This allows you to get level 32 extremely quickly (from level 1), with only maybe 1% of map control. Without further ado, on to: The Exploit Summaryīy completely surrounding your entire territory, you recieve full experience value for the entire territory taken over, while only recieving score value for the new white space taken over. When coming against strong opponents, just stay safe, don't make too ballsy moves, and surround as much as possible. It wont take as long as you think to consume everything. Now just keep going along the outside of your base, constantly building your way across the map. Start on side and completely gain control of that side. So, if you don't surround the whole map, you're only option is complete domination. The only situation you die here, is if you play daft. Eventually, they'll either escape and run away, or you'll kill them. ![]() Once they are inside your base like this, keep cutting the room they have to move around in half. If you can kill their tower in one shot, their dead. If they go too deep, just cut them off and surround them. If they can't destroy large amounts of your base quickly, then you can simply go to where you are being attacked and trench up, building additional defenses. Even if someone is higly aggressive and attacks in to your base, you are at a high advantage. Build along the outside of your own base (an extension of the exploit described below) so you allways have somewhere to retreat to. Instead, constantly build along the outside of your base, always building within sight of safety, which ensures that you cannot be cut off and killed inside someones base, or away from your own.įocus on two things: Expansion, and staying safe. The outside wall is important to all strategies, as it prevents surround, but surrounding the entire map is something I don't do until the very end of the game, when I've taken over almost everything anyway. When trying to take over the whole map, it is tempting to try and surround the entire map along the outside wall. Feel free to vary any of the given stats above by 2 points in either direction, but always try to point at least some points into all these. The same cannot be said for tower shields.Īfter build distance, get the remaining in the order of your choosing. Side, Side note: Bullet range is pointless unless you have max bullet speed, which is just better than bullet range in every way. If you've never used it before, I recommend playing a game with max tower health, max shields, max distance, max player speed (put the remaining 4 in reload) with speed steroid. It basically allows you to be inside your base while outside of it. SIDE NOTE: Build distance might be the best stat in the game. After health and shields, get some build distance. Don't play this game without a bare minimum of 20 take Speed Boost (double shot is good too, that's a different build)Īlways get your health/shields first so that all the tower you build will be at that level of health. Tower Shields:6 Keeps you alive (and your base safe) Reload Speed:5 Necessary for destroying towers of strong opponents. Want more range? Get more bullet speed instead. However, I prioritise as the following:īullet Range:0 Speed is better. I highly recommend you spend your first 6 points into tower health, then you can build whatever you want. Even a few points in health is enough to keep you safe. ![]() I don't care if you are maxed out with 8 reload and double cannons, if you have no tower health whatsoever, I can and will kill you, most likely by surround. My General Strategy for Winning the Game Statsīefore deliving into the exploit, I suggest you utilize this strategy along side it. I discovered this on accident while trying a new strategy that actually led, eventually, to my first win. One thing I attribute some amount of my success to is my early game exploit. I consider myself pretty decent at the game, I get top spot almost every time I play, and I've won a time or two as well. Played Diep for ages until I found Defly. I have been playing these io games for a while now. Soon, I will show you da wae, but right now you do not know da wae. ![]() ![]() If your broken collarbone is fragmented, fractured in more than one place, or badly aligned, surgery may be recommended. In some cases, you may have a bump on your skin above the break. You may need further treatment, depending on how malunion affects your arm function. One complication of conservative treatment is that the bone may slip out of alignment. Once your bones have healed, your doctor can advise a rehabilitation program to help your arm gain strength and flexibility. A doctor or a physical therapist may show you gentle exercises to prevent stiffness as your bones are healing. A doctor may recommend ice packs to help with pain for the first few days. A doctor may prescribe over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. It’s important to restrict movement until your bone has healed. Your injured arm will be immobilized in a sling or wrap to keep the bone in place. With nonsurgical treatment, here’s what you can expect: Both studies called for more research to determine what kinds of breaks benefit most from surgery. But in the last several years, a 2016 study reported, surgical treatment became predominant.Ī 2015 meta-analysis of surgical and nonsurgical treatment noted that complication rates were 25 percent, no matter which treatment was chosen. In the past, nonsurgical treatment for a break in the middle part of the clavicle was thought to be best. It’s best to fully discuss your treatment options with your doctor. There are risks and benefits to both nonsurgical and surgical treatments. Treatment for a broken collarbone depends on the type and severity of your fracture. ![]() ![]() ![]() Man their community management all have god complexes.

Monsters are not normally present in teamplay, as they serve no purpose other than to get in the way and reveal the positions of the players. Players frequently implement mods during teamplay. Deathmatch modes typically consist of either free-for-all (no organization or teams involved), one-on-one duels, or organized teamplay with two or more players per team (or clan). The most popular multiplayer modes are all forms of deathmatch. Similarly, items that have been picked up previously respawn after some time, and may be picked up again. When players die in multiplayer mode, they can immediately respawn, but will lose any items that were collected. In multiplayer mode, players on several computers connect to a server (which may be a dedicated machine or on one of the player's computers), where they can either play the single-player campaign together in co-op (cooperative) mode, or play against each other in multiplayer. After all of the runes are collected, the floor of the hub level opens up to reveal an entrance to the "END" level which contains a final puzzle. The ultimate objective at the end of each episode is to recover a magic rune. Episode one (which formed the shareware or downloadable demo version of Quake) has the most traditional ideology of a boss in the last level. Each episode starts the player from scratch, without any previously collected items. Upon completing an episode, the player is returned to the hub "START" level, where another episode can be chosen. The game may be saved at any time in the PC versions and between levels in the console versions. If the player's character dies, they must restart at the beginning of that level. Quake 's single-player campaign is organized into four individual episodes with seven to eight levels in each (including one secret level per episode, one of which is a "low gravity" level that challenges the player's abilities in a different way). The fourth skill level, "Nightmare", was "so bad that it was hidden, so people won't wander in by accident". Before accessing an episode, there is a set of three pathways with easy, medium, and hard skill levels. Switches or keys open doors, and reaching the exit takes the player to the next level. In Quake 's single-player mode, players explore levels, facing monsters and finding secret areas before reaching an exit. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions were released in October 2021. A remastered version of Quake was developed by Nightdive Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks and was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One consoles in August 2021, including the original game's extended content and two episodes developed by MachineGames. Due to creative differences and a lack of leadership, the majority of the team left the company after the game's release, including co-founder John Romero. Despite its critical acclaim, Quake 's development was controversial in the history of id Software. ![]() Quake is often cited as one of the best video games ever made. Quake featured music composed by Trent Reznor and his band Nine Inch Nails. Online multiplayer became increasingly common, with the QuakeWorld update and software such as QuakeSpy making the process of finding and playing against others on the Internet easier and more reliable. After Doom helped popularize multiplayer deathmatches, Quake added various multiplayer options. Unlike the Doom engine before it, the Quake engine offered full real-time 3D rendering and had early support for 3D acceleration through OpenGL. The successor to id Software's Doom series, Quake built upon the technology and gameplay of its predecessor. ![]() Quake takes inspiration from gothic fiction and the works of H. In the game, players must find their way through various maze-like, medieval environments while battling monsters using an array of weaponry. The first game in the Quake series, it was originally released for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux in 1996, followed by Mac OS and Sega Saturn in 1997 and Nintendo 64 in 1998. Quake is a first-person shooter game developed by id Software and published by GT Interactive. ![]() ![]() ![]() Order online for delivery or Click & Collect at your nearest Bunnings. ![]() In the last photo you can see the chicken coop I built for these homeowners last year. Shop our wide range of wire fencing & gates at warehouse prices from quality brands. I also used a spring-loaded gate latch cable pull for easy unlatching.

It was also the option with the most support from community members who attended past public meetings. Option one featured an underground parking garage, a civic center, and other mixed-use development. Last month, Charleston City Council reviewed three different proposals for the empty lot which used to be home to a Piggly Wiggly before it’s demolition in 2018.

![]() ![]() The nursing homes themselves typically report the staffing and quality measures. Medicare requires on-site inspections every 12 to 15 months. Nursing Home Compare gets its data from three sources: the federal government’s health inspection database a national database of resident clinical data and Medicare claims data. When I did a Yelp search for nursing homes near me (I found 22), most had fewer than five consumer ratings. And even if a nursing home is rated on Yelp, odds are there won’t be many reviews. (You can modify your search by number of miles, the name of a nursing home, star ratings and whether the facility accepts Medicare or Medicaid.)īy contrast, it’s harder to find many Yelp ratings for a particular area. When I looked for facilities near where I live in New Jersey, I received 160 ratings. The Medicare Nursing Home Compare ratings are geographically comprehensive. ![]() Put another way, Medicare can help show how well a nursing home is run and Yelp can show what nursing home residents, or their families, say it’s like to live there. Rahman and her colleagues found that most Yelp reviews commented on “intangibles” like staff attitudes and responsiveness. Yelp’s reviews are more personal and qualitative. The biggest one: Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare star ratings measure facilities based on quantifiable data. Why the 2 Types of Nursing Home Ratings Are So Different “We found the Yelp scores did not align well with the scores on Nursing Home Compare,” Rahman told me. Rahman and her fellow researchers looked at 51 Yelp-rated nursing homes in California they previously reviewed the Nursing Home Compare tool. So much so that Anna Rahman, an assistant professor at the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology who has studied them, recommends reading the Medicare reviews as well as the Yelp reviews to get a complete picture. But the two types of ratings are done very differently. ![]() |
