I appreciated that his story ended with no jokes. Interesting detail about the parody: there was no ring for heart, so that's why she went on a crazy rampage against anyone killing the Earth. Of course Morty would go so far to kill them all to grab their rings to have her for himself. I loved that the Planeteers aged in real time since the 90s so they're all old and bitter. Morty falls in love with Captain Planet Planetina, hilarity ensues. I was legit impressed they put in the beard to go with the mullet.

Nice touch that Rick had to draw in a ponytail when Summer replaced Morty. That's why he and Morty got the custom t-shirts after all.

He winds up saving himself and Rick from an almost-certain death, only to be constantly berated for landing in the ocean, the domain of MR. ![]() You know those moments where you get trapped between two ghosts and can’t get away? That’ll usually be Inky and his random behaviour getting you cornered! Who is the orange ghost? During scatter mode, Inky will patrol the lower right corner of the maze. He’ll patrol an area dependent on where Blinky is at any given time – and will become more random the further away from Blinky he is. This is a strange one – though unpredictable, Inky’s behaviour is actually linked to the position of the Ghost Gang’s leader, Blinky. The most unpredictable of the four ghosts, Inky is dangerous because you can’t always know exactly what he’s going to do next! What pattern does Inky follow? The cyan ghost’s ‘official’, original English-language name was Bashful, but his nickname – and like the others, the name he’s known by now – is Inky. During scatter mode, Pinky heads for the top left corner and moves in an anti-clockwise, circling motion around the corner walls. Pinky moves around maze walls in an anti-clockwise pattern, but also roughly follows Pac-Man’s movement – targeting four spaces ahead of where the player is headed, which is designed to get out in front of them and cut them off. Like the other ghosts, she has her own, very specific patterns of movement. However, she’s more commonly known by her nickname, Pinky. Oddly – despite Blinky being the ghost known to speed up – the pink ghost’s ‘real’ name is Speedy. He’s a very tough enemy to outrun, especially as he follows Pac-Man closely once he’s on his trail – and doesn’t even cease his relentless pursuit during periods when the other ghosts enter scatter mode. With 20 dots remaining in the first maze, Blinky gets faster – but in subsequent mazes, he speeds up even sooner. Unlike the others, Blinky speeds up as Pac-Man eats more dots in the maze. Blinky is perhaps the leader of what’s known as the Ghost Gang he’s definitely the most deadly ghost – and almost certainly the most likely to catch our little yellow hero. All of this are things that you may not even notice during play, but we’re here to shine a light on each ghost and reveal what it is they do! Who is the red ghost in Pac-Man?Īccording to one of the attract screens on the English language version of the arcade game, the red ghost is named Shadow – and his nickname is Blinky.įor some reason, it’s the nicknames that stuck with the ghosts, so in general, this one is just known as Blinky. They sure do! Considering Pac-Man was originally released in 1980, it may surprise you to learn that each ghost in Pac-Man has their own behaviour and patterns that they follow, as well as behaviour that they adhere to during what’s known as ‘scatter mode’. There are four ghosts in the original Pac-Man (which we rated as top of the best Pac-Man games!): a red ghost, a pink ghost, a cyan ghost and an orange ghost. What happens to the ghosts when Pac-Man eats them?.How do you fight back against the ghosts?.I'm just talking about the images of the characters. The mirroring of the Pac-man video game of course is infringement. ![]() I know of course that legal advice from a real lawyer is the best route here but honestly I'm slightly broke so I am seeking anecdotal non-legal-advice stories from people who have been issued a cease and desist by Namco. ![]() north american electronics corp 1982&f=falseĪnyways does anyone have any experience producing designs that represent a non-identical gobbler? I intend to modify the color and facial features of the gobbler. The decision was a quick read with an entertaining comment stating video game consumers are not discerning when it comes to graphics.Ī book that mentions the case. (Think: variations on asteroids but the spaceship is a completely different color, shape, etc). Per my research, in 1982 a court declared that the copyright for a video game does not extend to its visual representation except in cases where the design is completely identical. I have an idea for a shirt-design that is loosely based on the gobbler from Pac-man. ![]() How did that change the way you performed? One of the inventions for your first tour was the headset mic. I wonder if, as I was exploring a technique of dance, I was also sort of exploring a technique with my vocals as well. It was very much a phase that went with when I was working in dance. The more you work, the more a certain type of character evolves. ![]() It's a bit like how you develop a certain style as a pianist: It's just something that gradually evolves. You have a very distinctive phrasing and intonation to your singing. Considering that this was one of a very small handful of interviews she’s done in the past 25 years, it’s no surprise that she never gave up control. In our hour-long conversation, her responses were thoughtful yet precise (she politely deflected enquiry into the personal motivations behind her music). When I reached her by phone on a drizzly November day, she spoke in warm tones while reflecting on her storied career. Two years on, Bush is releasing a live album, Before The Dawn, that captures the magic of those shows. Bush threw herself into elaborate theatrics, in a virtuosic show which finessed theater, pop, and performance art. ![]() Titled “Before The Dawn,” the show brought her best-loved hits and most innovative compositions to life. That all changed in 2014, when she put aside a deep embedded fear of live performance for a 22-night run at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Her one-off 1979 “Tour Of Life” was described by Melody Maker as “the most magnificent spectacle ever encountered in the world of rock,” but for many decades it was the only time Bush translated her bold visuals to the stage. One area in which she fell behind her peers, however, was in live performance. Later, she retreated from London to the countryside to create her 1985 masterpiece Hounds of Love, which contained her most iconic pop epics as well as her most accomplished experimental work with Side B’s cinematic song suite, “The Ninth Wave.” Buoyed by the creative control afforded by her Fairlight synth sampler - first used on 1980’s Never For Ever - Bush produced all of her albums herself starting with 1982’s progressive The Dreaming ( a Björk favorite). As an artist, she’d inked an EMI deal at 16 as a piano prodigy, and by the early ‘80s Bush’s hands-on hunger for new sounds led her to double down on the production of her music. Her work behind the scenes was just as pioneering. In the video for her indelible baroque pop debut single “Wuthering Heights” she traversed the Yorkshire moors with ecstatic fluidity, while the “Running Up That Hill” video is modern dance at its most powerful. Unlike the stiff-hipped rigidity of the punk singers that had been Britain’s alternative icons before her, Bush’s seemingly elastic body found strength in sensuality. From the very beginning of her career, as a 19-year-old from the London suburbs with two years of dance training under her belt, Bush used the whole of her body to express her art. Three decades on, our political leaders still hate what is “other,” which often makes watching a Kate Bush video feel like an affirming few minutes of self-care.Ĭontemporary artists who’ve probably done just that include FKA twigs, Solange, and Christine and The Queens, all of whom don’t use movement as an adjunct to their music, but as a core expression in itself. In the ultra-conservative Thatcher/Reagan era of the 1980s, her embrace of theatrics made Bush a beacon of individuality for LGBTQ people, art freaks, and anyone who didn’t like their culture served straight-up. She’d shift from playing a steely seductive warrior in “Babooshka” to donning military fatigues for “Army Dreamers,” as at ease with folklorish fantasy as post-Vietnam social commentary. In her most prolific period - from ’78 to ’86 - these rivalled the visual innovations of David Bowie and Prince. Her press engagements are few and far between, and for the last four decades she’s chiefly communicated through dazzling self-directed music videos. Like today’s most powerful stars, Bush has always rejected the idea that pop artists had to pander to the media. Unfazed by a lack of precedent to her visions, Bush’s genre-spanning music didn’t just push pop forward with its embrace of avant-garde styles, her work also left the tools for other artists to do the same. For her debut tour in 1979, she helped invent the headset mic, which allowed her to move onstage with the same freedom as her distinctive high-register vocals. Long before anyone had ever swiped right, her late-’80s song “Deeper Understanding” detailed the erotic pull of technology. Two decades before Lemonade, the British pop auteur wrote, directed, and starred in the first-ever visual album, 1993’s The Line, The Cross, & The Curve. I’ve never worked with either, but just the name Cool Agar makes me think it’s an agar that would keep the crystal clear appearance and not turn cloudy like regular agar powder does. I think that the recipes that call for the larger amounts of agar are using a special agar, even though the recipes just say “agar powder.” I noticed a few videos talk about using a Japanese-style agar or a Cool Agar. I’m still puzzled by how the recipes work with the large amounts of agar, but I do have one theory. It would set within an hour and it did not dissolve in my mouth. When I used a larger amount of agar, the mixture was cloudy and the end result was very firm. Some recipes called for a few grams (which is the equivalent to a few teaspoons) and some called for barely 1/8 of a teaspoon. When I started reading through recipes, I found big discrepancies in the amount of agar used. However, based on all the descriptions I read about the raindrop cake, it’s supposed to be very delicate and only hold its form for about 30 minutes before dissolving. Normally, agar-based desserts have a somewhat firmer, jelly texture. It is commonly used in Asian desserts, especially any that have a jelly consistency. Agar is a a gelatin-like substance that is derived from algae. I’m documenting my findings here, so that hopefully you won’t have to go through the same trial and errors and can have success on the first try.Īgar. Before attempting to make it, I did a lot of research. ![]() (Even with the toppings, you’re looking at around 50 calories per serving.)Įven though the raindrop cake is only two ingredients, it actually took me several trials before getting the right proportions. The dessert is apparently also very popular in Japan because the raindrop itself is almost zero calories. The end result is a surprisingly refreshing dish which I really enjoyed. But it’s paired with roasted soy bean flour (kinako) and black sugar syrup (kuromitsu), which add sweetness and texture. The raindrop itself is made out of only two ingredients: water and agar. The dessert is very delicate and is supposed to only hold its form for about 30 minutes. When you bite in, the dessert dissolves in your mouth, like eating rain. The name Raindrop Cake comes from its appearance– which looks like a giant raindrop– as well as the taste. Since then, the unique looking dessert has become very popular. ![]() Inspired by a traditional Japanese dessert, Mizu Shingen Mochi, the dessert was introduced to the US by Chef Darren Wong at Smorgasburg in New York. Over the last few months, I’ve been very intrigued by the Raindrop Cake. This low calorie and popular food trend can be easily made at home with just a few ingredients! ![]() And the results certainly don't appear to offer any advantage over any other effect.Ĭorel PaintShop Pro 2023: Raw photo editing It seems more like an algorithmic application of an effect without any scene or object recognition that we'd associate with AI. There are sliders to make adjustments, and I can't tell where the AI comes into play. However, these seem to be no more AI-powered than any of the effects that other software uses. On double-clicking to apply the AI-powered effects, the screen is overlaid with 3D Mesh grids twirling around, implying that some AI power is going on in the background. ![]() It allows you to apply Instant Effects to an image, such as an Aged Effect or Watercolour. Those used to Photoshop will need to grab a coffee and have a play around but should be able to easily work out where everything they're used to can be found. And within the Effects menus are a vast number of image editing effects. ![]() Layers can be created with various opacity, masking, and blending options. Everything may have slightly different names or sit in different places, but all the essential tools exist. There are Selection and Masking tools, including Smart and Auto selection options, and the usual text and brush tools. Without going into every menu item and aspect, enthusiast image editors should be able to find everything they need. You can switch individual panels on or off, or move them around to customize the workspace. However, in the Edit workspace, you can add an Organiser panel that's effectively a filmstrip bar for easy search access to images you may need. Selecting Manage opens an Adobe Bridge-style experience for viewing and organizing your image. If you're a beginner, there's a Learning panel that outlines everything in easy-to-understand language.Īt the top of the Complete workspace are the sub-workspace options of Edit and Manage. The language of the user interface is familiar and understandable, and anyone with knowledge of Photoshop or similar image editing software will be able to jump right in. There's a Tool palette, Layers panel, and Materials panel - featuring color swatches and a Filmstrip bar at the bottom where you can see thumbnails of library images. It's best to consider this your all-in-one image-editing space it's where you want to go for a Photoshop-esque experience.Įverything in the Complete workspace is very familiar, down to the color scheme and choice of iconography for the tools. The first workspace is the Complete workspace. When you first load PaintShop Pro, you're asked which workspace you want to use - Complete, Essentials, or Photography (and even within these, there are sub-workspaces, depending on the task you're performing). But how close is it to Adobe Photoshop, and how user-friendly is it for those who don't need all of Photoshop's often intimidating advanced features? Now, it's one of Photoshop's main competitors on Windows computers, which is most likely why you're reading this. As Adobe Photoshop became the industry-leading image editor, PaintShop Pro gradually adopted more and more of Photoshop's features. Initially, it resembled an advanced version of Microsoft Paint, with tools for beginner and advanced image editors. Since its creation, originally by Jasc software, PaintShop Pro has always had a very familiar interface.

In addition to the tools mentioned in this review, the Ultimate version adds Corel Mutilcam Capture 2 for recording from a screen and webcam simultaneously, Highlight Reel, which lets you create short highlight videos, and the Sea to Sky workspace, that's designed for use with underwater and drone images.
