Roy demeo mobster9/25/2023 Yet he eventually acquiesced on the strength of Roy's ability to negotiate with the troublesome West Side gang, and finally Roy DeMeo got his "button." He was a member of the Gambino family. When Paul decided to make some changes in the family roster, Nino once again advanced Roy's name for the status of made man, and Paul once again refused. Nino told this to Big Paul, who could not help but be impressed. He made deals with the Irish gangs on the West Side, bringing in ten percent of their business. Roy thought it was just a matter of turning more money over to him, so he redoubled his efforts in his illegal businesses. He told Nino he did not want Roy to become a made member of the family. He wanted no "cowboys" in the family, going off and killing for the hell of it. Castellano listened to the rumors about him with concern. Making money was one of them, but the otherkilling peoplehe developed into such a grisly art form that stronger men with greater status actually feared him. Becoming a made man was his goal, and that meant getting attention for his feats. Although Castellano despised Roy, since he was a Neapolitan and therefore considered by the Sicilian gangsters as unreliable, Nino kept putting in a good word for him.īeing a man with a strong sense of duty, Roy had no trouble showing that he had what it took. That was one more good thing for Roy, because the person closest to Castellano was Nino Gaggi. Inevitably, power shifted and the new godfather was now Big Paul Castellano. In 1976, when DeMeo was 34 and had been training his killing crew for over a year, Carlo Gambino died.

Warzone new map9/25/2023 This newfound route contains several moored ships filled with loot, alongside some smaller footpaths that lead back towards the island proper. However, with the launch of Season 3, another path has been uncovered leading up to the Lagoon. Lagoon up until now has been a solitary POI all the way to the west of the map, with a singular bridge leading in and out of the location. As such, expect to find a larger selection of loot coming alongside a great influx of battle-hungry players at this spot.īear in mind, that much of the wilderness and natural cover has been removed in this region to make way for these additions, so you won’t be as obscured as you move to and from the new and improved Runway. To help make this spot a bit more exciting, runway is getting a bunch of new buildings including new hangars and barracks. Runway always felt like the smaller, less impressive brother to the airfield at the south of the map. However, it’s clear this POI isn’t due to become any less popular with the launch of the new season. Whether or not the cavern beneath Peak, a common runoff point for those who decide to evacuate from the action-packed spot, will remain as barebones is hard to tell since we currently haven’t seen inside this newly reinforced location. Finally, with the launch of Season 3 the construction of Peak is complete - so say goodbye to the scaffolding and say hello to a newly built silo at the centre, structures around the perimeter, and a fresh coat of paint. One of the most popular spots to start a hectic game on Caldera is also getting an upgrade. This region fills up a previous empty spot on the map, and thanks to the multiple major structures either man-made or skeletal is a great place to drop if you’re looking for an action-packed early game. At this location, digging equipment has uncovered several giant skeletons between the Mine and the Ruins. The Dig site is a whole new point of interest being added to Caldera with the launch of Warzone Pacific Season 3. Be sure to check them all out once you check out the update April 27. To help you make your way in this brave new world, we’ve detailed each and every major change coming to the map. In response, multiple areas across the map will be significantly different by the time you drop in. Check out the full list of new features on the official Call of Duty blog.With the release of Warzone Pacific Season 3, Caldera is undergoing some serious changes thanks to the emergence of gigantic monsters all around the tropical island. The Push Dagger, a small blade that is held between two fingers, and the Vargo-S assault rifle, which will be part of the seasonal reinforcements, will arrive soon after.ĭuring this fourth season, you can expect new game modes, vehicles and much more. Both serve as serious alternatives to the best weapons in their groups, especially in the first few weeks. At launch, the battle pass incorporates the Marco 5, a submachine gun, and the UGM-8, a light machine gun. The armament will be expanded with four new weapons. Visibility has also been improved by reducing the overall vegetation by 50%. Storage Town, one of Verdansk's best-known districts, is now integrated into the Pacific. In the case of Caldera, modifications have been made to some places of interest on the map. Raven Software assures that the three maps will coexist "through weekly playlist updates," suggesting that some of them will not always be available.

Terra nil abandoned quarry9/25/2023 With plant life and climate re-established, we must now construct an Airship by Recycling our buildings.

Having done that, you can now place Beehives on your freshly grown trees you just create to generate Fynbos Flower and thereby Fynbos Biomes.įinish filling Biomes Gauges to complete Step 3 of Phase 2. Lastly, place an Arboretum on ashes so you can begin creating forests. Then place a Solar Amplifier near one of the newly created Dry Bushes to start a fire on it. This unlocks rain and will help us to fully green the map.īegin by placing a Dehumidifier on a rock. Next we will use the Cloud Seeder to achiever the 70% humidity cap. This will not only add a wetland but also add Humidity. To progress further, you will first need Wetlands which will get by placing the Hydroponium near our base lake. Let’s make things simpler by further dividing this phase in 3 steps each with its own objective. Hmmm, that sounds like we may have a handful on our plate. Now that our ecosystem is beginning to thrive, we need to increase the diversity of plants by introducing fynbos, wetlands and forests all while paying some attention to our local climate as well. Phase 1: GREENERY (Abandoned Quarry) Phase 2: BIOMES Once you’ve done this correctly, you should have greenery evenly spread all over the map and a base lake. Begin by placing Turbines, Toxin Scrubbers, Water Pumps and Irrigators evenly yet strategically across the map. Your first objective is to try to create and increase as much greenery as possible to restore water and plant life. Here is a 3 phase strategy to reclaim this map.

Plexamp quality9/25/2023 Every once and a while it really nails it for me. It can also make decent "mood" playlists. I guess that is the other great thing is that the settings are pretty easy to navigate and lets you change defaults for download speeds and playback quality. I use it all the time, but my wife doesn't and just uses a preset she liked. This is really great feature that lets me have an EQ for the car, my earbuds, my audiophile headphones, etc. Not only that, a really good 10 band EQ no less. My another favorite feature, is an EQ for every connected device. It saves me Data on my phone and I like that. I think I got higher resolution because one of my favorite features in Plexamp is that I can download my songs to my phone (a Pixel 6) and play them with or without internet. Without getting into to many details, I could tell well enough that I re-ripped a bunch of old CD's to FLAC.īut. I rendered a song into 3 different resolutions, including FLAC to see if I could tell the difference. I've been using Plexamp for about 6 months. Is this the case? I suppose my question is does Plexamp actually playback my music at "native quality" using Plex as some kind of pass-thru? I'm going to test the app regardless but I was wondering if others could share their experience in using it, whether they've noticed any such enhancement or that it improves the overall Plex experience. Some claim the sampling/resolution limitation is eschewed, meaning I can listen to my music files the way they are recorded at 24/192. I recently came across some intel on Plexamp, which looks like a really slick app. This is why I often use Foobar, but there is a middle-man involved (BubbleUPnP) so there is that weakness. My understanding is that Plex locks in at 44.1khz/16bit (in spite of what my phone apps tell me). With that, I am an audiophile with good equipment and am committed to hearing the best quality sound, and yes I can tell the difference in my recording studio. It is bulletproof and am in favor of the convenience and dependability that it offers. I have an extensive audio library and use Plex to stream my FLAC files locally over my wifi and remotely when I travel.

Flamingo lake bbq festival9/25/2023 I generally recall the words of my great-grandmother who was known to say, “It’s different. I joked with G that maybe we should do the wine bar during the winter months and start up our own BBQ food truck for the summer months to show how it should really be done! (Apologies if I sound like an annoying expat, but pulled pork is where I get fussy. Plus, it was getting really hot! Still, despite the complaints, it was fun and still more than edible and I hope we get some more food festivals like this. I really was tempted, but after a less-than-healthy food weekend, I figured I’d be good. Next time maybe I’ll stick with the Dutch classics, including croquettes, poffertjes, and the ubiquitous saté. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE chicken fingers and they may have done a great job, but for €6.50, I just didn’t feel like taking the chance. Don’t mess with comfort foods! Having seen what was being served, it looked more like chicken fingers. Because if you’re going to make fried chicken, you’d better do it right, especially when you call it the ultimate comfort food. There was one last southern staple that I was tempted to try, but I was hesitant after the first dishes that weren’t as hoped for, and the slightly higher cost eventually stopped me from giving it a shot. Still, definitely different from what I’m used to in the US. They did have bottles of hot sauce available, though. Nice enough, but definitely needed some deeper, richer spices and some heat. This is serious stuff in the south! The nachos weren’t quite Doritos with salsa (as is common here in the Netherlands), but it was all a bit sweet, particularly the salsa. I may be extra picky, though, as I’ve spent a lot of time smoking/cooking pork on the grill and making my own rubs and sauces. It needed a proper rub and the BBQ sauce was pretty unnoticeable, too. The only drawback is that I think it was lacking in seasoning. The pulled pork was cooked in a proper big smoker/BBQ and was moist and soft and really quite good. Instead, G and I tried a couple of other American classics: pulled pork and nachos. I’d really been hoping to be yet another American making a beeline for their truck. Although I was sad that the Mac & Cheese truck that appeared in Leiden didn’t make it here. There have been a number of food(truck) festivals taking place in other cities for the past few weeks, so it’s great to see Utrecht get involved. The four-day festival has been a delicious way for Utrechters to enjoy the long Pinksterdag holiday weekend. But Utrecht’s first proper food truck festival is called TREK, and it’s been going on since Friday and finishes up tonight. The festival is so close I can smell the BBQ inside the house.

Applewin games sierra9/25/2023 Honestly, this is one of those games more interesting for the fact that it exists than anything else. If so, business is going to be great for him when he comes back. I never found Joe the gravedigger’s body. The next thing I needed to do was in the study. I got stuck here and had to resort to a walkthrough. I found nothing useful there it’s the game’s own Maze of Twisty Little Passages, but I did find that you can return to the kitchen by moving “up” from the forest’s starting screen, if you can even find your way back there.Įxploring the house again and keeping my eye out for anything looking like doors, I found that the attic had a door leading to a storage room with a locked chest that my key could open. So I went to the forest in case I could find anything of value there, using my collection of items as breadcrumbs. I explored as much of the house as I could, but still couldn’t find a use for the key. I think at this point we’re supposed to conclude this and not think too hard about it, or consider possibilities such as that maybe Joe strangled Bill with some nylons that he found in a bedroom drawer, and then killed Sally and left one of Bill’s blond hairs on her body to throw the detectives on the wrong trail. That much I can remember from my previous playthrough. I’ve so far refrained from mentioning that I already know Daisy did it. Tom the plumber, Joe the gravedigger, and Daisy the cook are left. Mystery House had no instruction manual other than the blue reference card, but there are ingame instructions, which seems to be a common thing in early Apple II games.įour down. Even there, the title is “High-Res Adventure #1.” Did the Williams' already know there would be more? Or is this a re-release, and might there be a lost, older version where the ingame title is simply “Mystery House?” The fact that color is not used anywhere in the game except the title screen makes me consider this as a possibility. There’s also a curiosity in the title screen. ScummVM has a monochrome mode, but it renders everything in an unattractive green.ĪppleWin has an actual black-and-white mode free of any color artifacts, and it’s also possible to switch to it and back without quitting the game, unlike ScummVM. This should be white-on-black, but the vertical lines are green and purple! This is due to the Apple II’s unusual method of drawing colored pixels, where pairs of horizontally adjacent pixels generate artifact colors, only appearing as white when both pixels in the pair are "on." ScummVM renders a sharper display in color mode, but aside from the title screen, Mystery House is a black and white game, and the Apple II video chip handles color strangely. In replaying Mystery House, I opted to use AppleWin rather than ScummVM, due to the way colors are handled. This kind of situation is exactly why I have my method of identifying and playing notable ancestors, of which Mystery House certainly qualifies. Even Mission Asteroid, a kid-oriented adventure with barely ten minutes’ worth of content, has whale status at 27 votes. For Data Driven Gamer, I intend to replay the whales, but not necessarily go beyond that.Īnd so, I’m a little bit surprised that Wizard and the Princess, a game mainly known for being Sierra’s second graphic adventure ever (and often incorrectly cited as the computer game seen in Big), meets whale requirements with 36 votes, while Mystery House falls short at only 23. I played all of them, though not very much about them sticks in my memory. It’s there where I first heard of Colossal Cave Adventure, which was mentioned frequently as the game that inspired Ken and Roberta Williams to make their first game, Mystery House, which, according to Sierra, was the first graphical adventure game ever made.Īt some point during the Windows XP era, when I was comfortable with computer emulators, I decided to go on a Sierra retrospective, starting with the Apple II High-Res Adventures. I re-bought the series on CD-ROM when King’s Quest Collection came out, replayed everything and some games I missed (such as the 1990 KQ1 remake), enjoyed the additions like the making-of videos and the King’s Questions trivia game, and read every design document, history, and article on the disc again and again. I had played Zork once before, but King’s Quest for DOS was the first adventure game I ever owned, and the first I had beaten. Sierra games were my introduction to adventures. Mystery House is public domain, and can be downloaded in DSK format for use in an Apple II emulator or in ScummVM.
