Ladies detective agency6/5/2023 There are occasional forays into neighbouring nations.Īfter her first few cases, she purchases a book by Clovis Andersen on detection, The Principles of Private Detection, and then quotes from it throughout the novels when a guide is needed for deciding next steps. The cases are set in the cities of Botswana, mainly on the edge of the Kalahari desert, rather than in the desert. Matekoni, who has taken on foster care of a sister and brother from the orphan farm. Her joy is her engagement and eventual marriage to Mr J. This led her to decide never to marry again after he left her. Her personal life has a main sorrow, that her only child lived just a few days, as the child's father beat her during the pregnancy, a story told in retrospect. She solves a case for herself when she thinks she must seek a divorce from her first husband but learns differently when she seeks out his mother. She uncovers a scheme by twin brothers to use one medical degree and certificate between the two of them. She helps a man atone for the sins of his youth by finding the people he hurt decades earlier. Mma Precious Ramotswe solves cases for wives whose husbands have gone missing, for a school teacher whose son has disappeared by finding the kidnappers, for a wealthy father whose 16-year-old daughter is frustrating him by going out on her own. This is one of the most common forms of address in the novels. Mma is a Setswana term of respect for a woman the equivalent term for a man is Rra. The main detective, Mma Ramotswe, is a Motswana woman who is the protagonist in the series and whose story is told in the first novel from birth to opening the detective agency. The novels have been adapted for radio by the author and for television. Critical reception has matched the sales of the novels, generally positive, and considering the strength of the novels to be in the characters and Mma Ramotswe's wisdom rather than in the specific mysteries solved in each novel. In 2004, sales in English exceeded five million, and the series has been translated to other languages. The readership was at first small, then grew abruptly in popularity in the US and in England, beyond the author's home in Scotland. Each book in the series follows from the previous book. The novels are as much about the adventures and foibles of different characters as they are about solving mysteries. She feels a detective needs to know about people more than anything to solve problems for them. Mma Ramotswe starts up her detective agency using the inheritance from her father to move to the capital city, Gaborone, to buy a house for herself and an office for her new business. The country of Botswana is in a sense a character as well, as it figures prominently in the stories. Mma Precious Ramotswe is the main character in this series. Twenty-three novels have been published in the series between 19. The series is named after the first novel, published in 1998. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is a series of novels by Alexander McCall Smith set in Botswana and featuring the character Mma Precious Ramotswe.

Cod modern warfare spec ops6/5/2023 The average person doesn't pay attention to Wolfenstein because everyone knows how World War II happened, so you instantly put yourself into an "alternate reality" mind set. Additionally this is a game that was trying to hype itself as being mature, making you think about how everything in War is dirty. There is a significant difference when you're completely re-writing history, and making some situation "based on history", using the same themes that are relevant in real life today and then slightly changing them to make the US feel more "the good guys". The tricky part is that the classification of when its wrong and when its not isn't as simple as "is it fiction?". /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.

Lawrence schick6/5/2023 RPGs combined my interest in storytelling with my interest in games, and we put a lot of time and design effort into D&D when we should have been going to class at Kent State University. LAWRENCE SCHICK – I started in the early days as a player of original or “white box” D&D, co-creating a fantasy campaign world with my friend Tom Moldvay in northeast Ohio in the U.S.A. Let´s start this way: did you ever liked RPGs or how did you first become involved in it? Schick, thank you for your life’s work on behalf of the world of classic games and role playing games. Recognized as “lead loremaster” in the world of RPGs he has vast experience in rich and multicultural universes and agreed to share a bit of his wisdom with Sidequest readers. He now works in Ireland at Larian Studios as a Narrative Design Expert on Baldur’s Gate 3. If you’ve played any of that old systems, table tops board games Dungeon & Dragons or modern games as Elder Scrolls and Kingdoms of Amalur, then you had a lot of fun immersed in one of the complex and astonishing stories he designed. We´re talking about Sir Lawrence Schick, brilliant writer and author of an extensive list of background books for several of his historical computer games and close to 200 in-game books around The Elder Scrolls universe. In 2007 Schick returned to role-playing games as one of the early designers on what would become “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning”. He then put his extensive experience with online games to service at ZeniMax Online Studios where he served as Loremaster on The Elder Scrolls Online MMO RPG. Kingdoms of Amalur and Elder Scrolls Online for modern consoles? Yes! The list of his works are endless and touched the born of internet as a responsible for America Online Games Channel and executive producer at Magnet Interactive Studios for the development of CD-ROM titles. Do and Venture for consoles, also Sword of The Samurai for IBM PC and even the classic Icebreaker for the 3DO Multimedia System. In the early 80´s he started working as a game designer and project manager for video and computer game companies, a period that included high-profile positions at Coleco and MicroProse.ĭid you play Smurf: Rescue in Atari 2600? Tarzan or Dukes of Hazzard in your ColecoVision? Airborne Ranger in your C-64 computer? Yes all are his original masterwork. He began his career as writer at a company named TSR Hobbies in late 70´s and got involved in the development and early popularity of the role-playing game named Dungeons & Dragons that become a bestselling worldwide.

Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using the Brave browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse, then send that data back to a third party, essentially spying on your browsing habits.We strongly recommend you stop using this browser until this problem is corrected. The latest version of the Opera browser sends multiple invalid requests to our servers for every page you visit.The most common causes of this issue are: The way Vindictus (AKA Mabinogi Heroes) handles gender-locking leaves a little to be desired.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Unlike Dragon Nest, the character classes in Vindictus don’t have developed personalities to hide the limitations of the game’s original character creator. They each have a name and their own unique animations and fighting styles, but that’s about it as far as the actual game is concerned. On the main site, you can find that each character has a bio, and sometimes before a new character is launched, the site will release a short story that tells his/her background. Karok, for example, is from an endangered race of giants, and is desperate to keep his people’s legacy alive. Unfortunately, this can only be found on the site. No character addresses Karok’s size, his race, or his story during the actual game. No matter which character you play, none of the dialogue changes aside from one instance where a guard flirts with any of the three females. This may not seem like a problem to most, especially since the game’s focus is challenging combat, but it’s a wasted chance to add a new layer of depth to the game’s narrative, and to give a reason for why Vindictus gender-locks.Īnd it’s not like Vindictus is incapable of telling good character stories. Each NPC you meet has a developed and interesting personality. For instance: Reilly is a kooky old man and a powerful magician who loves to terrorize his pupil Brynn. But when someone does something truly dangerous, he gets serious and becomes a man to respect and fear. Some gamers take issue with gender-locking, but for a free MMO, it makes sense why a developer would do this. With gender-locked classes, the developer doesn’t need to put in a complex character creation system. Those systems are expensive, especially since many gamers expect character creation systems to be on the same level as Guild Wars 2 or Skyrim. Rather than compete and fight an impossible battle, the developer gender-locks.Ī smart developer will use this limitation to their advantage and tell character stories with the gender-locked classes. They’ll give the classes their own personalities and backstories and use that as a way to engage the player and connect them with their character.ĭragon Nest is a good example of how this idea works. Every class in the game has his/her own storyline and personality.

Smash into pieces6/4/2023 'Unbreakable' really is an eye opener of an album and should put Smash Into Pieces onto the modern rock world stage. However, don't be fooled into thinking that this album isn't worth buying, as the versions on this album have been rerecorded and sound like new songs in comparison. Three of the songs on 'Unbreakable' were first committed to disc in 2010 ('Crash And Burn', 'Here To Stay' and 'Rockstar') and appeared on the self-titled EP. The atmospheric power ballad 'Come Along' shows that Smash Into Pieces isn't simply a one trick pony and the staccato heaviness of 'I Want You To Know' is both memorable and addictive. There are minimal screamed vocals and yet they add to the power of the songs such as 'Heroes (As We Are)' and 'Rockstar' rather than detract from the obvious melody inherent within. 'Unbreakable' comes across as Sweden's answer to Alter Bridge with its Tremonti-like guitar histrionics and yet this album is far from plagiaristic. Album opener and first single 'Colder' twinkles with keyboards atop a huge riff and Chris Adam Hedman's powerhouse vocal roar it's catchy yet powerful. Throwing into the mix a technically gifted version of the modern rock genre made popular by the likes of Creed, Alter Bridge and Christian rockers Red, Smash Into Pieces add their own distinctive guitar solos, keyboard fills and Scandinavian panache that gives the genre a well-judged kick up its collective back side. Thus it is with Smash Into Pieces from Sweden. In fact take any genre of music you like and the Northern Europeans usually pick up on the trend, twist it into their own version which is often better technically and less tamed by record label interference. It's yet another case of Scandinavia beating the Americans at their own game. An eye opener of an album that should put Smash Into Pieces onto the modern rock world stage.

Dns leak test torguard6/4/2023 How the Domain Name System Allows Others to Track You OnlineĪs I mentioned in the section above, when you enter the domain name of a website in your browser, the request goes to a DNS server, where the website’s IP address is found. While this is a logical and convenient way to manage internet traffic, it opens up a large can of worms when it comes to your online privacy. All of this usually happens in the blink of an eye. Your browser then sends the full request to the web server at that IP address, and the web page loads into your browser. The IP address is returned to your browser. When you enter a website address in the address bar of your favorite browser, the domain name is sent to a DNS server, which looks up the IP address for that domain name. While some of you may be able to memorize such a long string of numbers (and you know who you are), it’s much easier to remember to type in “” to visit my website. The Domain Name System is a decentralized naming system for online resources, such as computers and other services.ĭNS translates domain names into IP addresses, removing the need for a user to memorize long strings of numbers in order to access websites and services while connected to the internet.įor example, the site you’re visiting at the moment carries an IP address of “104.27.166.50”. In this article, I’ll explain how DNS servers can be a threat to your privacy, what a DNS leak is, and how you can fix it. P erhaps one of the most important services on the internet is one that I’m betting most people never give a second thought to, the Domain Name System (DNS). |
