A safer and more generally successful approach is to overhaul the graphics. albeit at their own risk, since it's usually unfinished and untested. This leaves an opening for a modder to re-introduce an access point and enjoy the missing content. Unless space is a big issue, the programmers usually leave all this content Dummied Out in the game's code. That's why multiplayer games are usually exempt from mods or, if running on a modular engine, deliberately designed to be hard to mod (example is that most online multiplayer of any Source engine games has a "Pure" server settings which disables any mods including texture replacements).Ī few mods take advantage of content that was programmed into the game in the early stages, then scrapped from the final design. (Some God Modders will use these anyway and hope they aren't caught.) However, some types of mods are discouraged, or even cracked down on, for good reason: If it's a multiplayer game, a mod in the hands of a player but not their opponent usually means an unfair advantage. Some games are deliberately designed to be easy to modify, including a "construction set" of sorts to build levels, weapons, etc., and whole modding communities spring up as a result. (Or, if the game includes any attractive women or men, nude patches.) When it comes to unofficial cameo appearances, a humorous tradition-usually when a particular game is either first released or is made open to modification-involves that of porting characters such as those of CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Shrek, and Thomas & Friends, though the latter prompted at least one cease-and-desist order from Mattel who owns the rights to the Thomas franchise. They can be unofficial Expansion Packs (new maps or new equipment in the same game), completely unrelated games that merely use the source game's software as a backbone ("total conversions"), or just quality-of-life adjustments to the original, such as Fan Translations, bug fixes, character Cameo appearances (which can often lead to Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot scenarios), or House Rules. Game modifications, or "mods" for short, are any alterations to a game that were not made by the game's license holder. Just because the game designers made a good game doesn't mean you can't make it even better.

The game also received a "sister game" starring fellow mascot Donald Duck, titled QuackShot starring Donald Duck. The Game Gear version was a launch title in North America, and was released in Japan as Mickey Mouse no Castle Illusion. The game was later remade for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear throughout 1991, featuring redesigned levels and simplified graphics (as well as different enemies, items, and bosses), as well as completely changing one of Mickey's attacking mechanics from flinging apples (and other items previously collected) to picking up and hurling larger solid objects found throughout each level (such as indestructible barrels, which double as a puzzle mechanic). The game's Practice difficulty changes the goal, in which Mickey must find three gems (collected by completing a particular level from the game's first three worlds) that would make Mizrabel see beauty in herself. To do so, he must find the seven Gems of the Rainbow (guarded by the Masters of Illusion) hidden within the magical worlds (including an enchanted forest and a toy-box) scattered throughout the castle. It is the first in a series of Sega-produced games starring Disney mascot Mickey Mouse (known as the "Illusion" series).Īs Mickey, players must embark on an adventure through the evil and mysterious Castle of Illusion to rescue Minnie Mouse from the evil witch Mizrabel, who plans to steal Minnie's youth.

Similar to the GTX 880M, it is based on the 28 nm GK104 chip (Kepler architecture), but features less shader cores (1344 instead of 1536) as well as smaller and slower memory (6 GB GDDR5).

Nekron is also revealed to be the true mastermind behind the miraculous resurrections of several superheroes in the past (a deed previously thought to be a consequence of Brother Blood tampering with the forces of life and death). When the Black Lanterns' power levels reach one hundred percent, he rises from the Earth, just outside Coast City. He's also responsible for the capture of the Anti-Monitor during the aftermath of the Sinestro Corps War on the planet Ryut. In the Blackest Night storyline, Nekron is revealed to be responsible for the creation of the black power rings, which reanimate the dead, and is collaborating with Scar and Black Hand. Nekron also encounters Wonder Woman and Rebecca Carstairs ( Witchfire). The rift is eventually sealed following Nekron's defeat. Kyle was able to push Nekron back into his dimension by freeing the undead Lanterns from Nekron's control. This gave Nekron the opportunity to briefly control every deceased member of the Green Lantern Corps, which act as both his army and his anchor to the living universe. Kyle Rayner later encounters Nekron when he nearly reenters the living universe, at a time when the level of supernatural activity mysteriously increases. Also appearing in this issue is Jared Stevens (Fate). Nekron later battles the demon Nebiros, following the destruction of Doctor Fate's Tower Of Fate. Drawing into the Quantum field, Captain Atom is able to get the better of Nekron and is able to visit his deceased wife. Black Racer, also making an appearance, is coined "Death as an Inevitability", while Death (prominently known from her appearances in Vertigo titles) represents "Death as the Release, as Mercy, as Compassion". 1990 – 2002 Ĭaptain Atom has a run-in with Nekron in which Nekron is described as "Death as the Ultimate Opponent". The spirit of Jordan's predecessor, Abin Sur, helps him escape the realm. This distraction undercuts Krona's power supplied by the being and thus gives the Guardians enough time to banish Krona into the dead realm and close the rift with Jordan still trapped inside. Nekron is defeated when Jordan enters the realm of the dead and incites the spirits of the recently killed Lanterns to rebel against him. Although his attack is powerful enough to shatter the morale of the Green Lantern Corps, Hal Jordan manages to inspire and rally his fellow Lanterns into attacking Krona with the charge still left in their rings. Krona and his minions kill several Guardians and Green Lanterns while destroying the Central Power Battery to prevent the Lanterns from recharging their power rings. Krona cooperates because part of Nekron's plan involves collapsing the universe so as to recreate it according to his own desires (which would give Krona the chance to see a universe being born). Given an army of similarly-restored spirits, Nekron sends Krona to kill the Guardians of the Universe to increase the size of the rift. Desiring the living world he is now able to see, but being too large to pass through the rift, Nekron recreates Krona as an undead being of enormous power instead. Īfter the Oan scientist Krona was sentenced to banishment as pure energy, that energy somehow reached Nekron's realm a rift opens between the dimensions due to the paradox of an immortal now being in the Realm of the Dead. Nekron draws his power from the souls and spirits of all those who have ever died. It is where the souls of the dead await passage to their final residence in either the Silver City or Hell. Nekron is the personification of Death and ruler of a region adjoining Hell known as the Land of the Unliving, that also seems to border on Limbo and Purgatory within the DC Universe.

For others, the money they save upfront by not paying for a time clock isn’t going to be worth the hassle and frustration down the line.Īnd for those companies, we also discuss Buddy Punch.

Then there’s the cost of low employee morale and tension between employees and owners when workers don’t get their due pay. While you labor under the high payroll error rates inherent in manual and punch-card time keeping, you will have to invest more admin time correcting those errors (the APA estimates 10.5% of all payroll processing time is spent resolving errors). They’ll certainly let you know when they’ve been underpaid. Last line of admin and employee morale costsĮmployees may or may not let you know when they’ve been overpaid. That works out to 40 wasted effort hours for our fast food franchisee. It also determined that companies typically spend 100 wasted effort hours on manual payroll per every 25 FTEs. Research by the APA has found that it takes five to six minutes to total and audit each punch card, so that’s an hour of somebody’s day every day. In addition to the inevitable data entry errors, your small business is also paying in admin time to process payroll and to correct payroll errors. You think there aren’t any errors being made during this time process? Of course there are! Somebody still has to review the physical time card, assess its accuracy and enter the data into your payroll system. That’s what you’re thinking, right? It doesn’t matter. (You can learn more about how to select a durable time clock here.) But your restaurant uses punch cards – not manual time sheets! You can purchase the best time clock for your small business for well under $5000 and should be an investment you only need to make once every 10 years if you select the right one. With a 3% error rate, this restaurant is overpaying $217 per pay period. The total payroll for the 10 FTEs for one pay period at full capacity is $7233.60 (80 FTE hours / day * 11 days in the pay period * $8.22 per hour). Now we’ll be generous and work out the costs of clerical errors at 3% of total payroll, fairly middling between the APA’s one to eight percent. Since many fast food employees work part-time, let’s say the restaurant has the payroll equivalent of 10 full-time employees (FTEs) for a daily work hours total of 80 hours (10 FTEs * 8 hours). The average fast food restaurant has 15 employees at a median pay of $8.22 per hour. Let’s work that out for a typical fast food franchise owner. Calculating the cost of payroll clerical errorsĪccording to the American Payroll Association, clerical errors cost an average of anywhere from one to eight percent of total payroll. (For more in-depth information on minimizing employee absenteeism, check out our free Attendance Policy guide). A time clock tracks work time down to the minute, which means using a time clock for a small business saves money by not overpaying for time not worked. Often, employees don’t mean to steal time, but having to backfill a time sheet takes time and inevitably includes errors. A time clock eliminates time theft in the form of over-reporting hours worked. The result of having more accurate attendance data is having more accurate payroll. The truth is that the ROI on the one-time investment in a quality time clock will improve a small business’s cash flow.īy automating your time and attendance data collection, you’ll get more accurate employee attendance data. It’s no wonder that owners may hesitate about spending money on a time clock for their small business. Indeed, 82% of small businesses that fail do so because of poor cash flow.

However, when ShadowClan was led by Brokenstar, his warriors sometimes resorted to eating it, as at the time, the warriors were used for fighting, not hunting. The word "crowfood" is also used as an insult, as in "Shut up, you mangy piece of crowfood." In the old forest, a source of crowfood was Carrionplace, where rotten prey could always be found, but it was known to carry sickness. Clan cats will occasionally eat crowfood if they are desperate and starving, but they avoid it as much as possible as it usually causes bellyaches or more severe illnesses. Prey typically is considered crowfood after about one or two days since it was killed. Crowfood "Crowfood" is the Clan term for prey that has left to become rotten and unfit to eat. In leaf-bare, prey is much harder to find than in any other season. The leader or deputy of a Clan must send more patrols before the cold weather strikes. Traditionally, the weaker cats will be fed before the apprentices and warriors. It is also in the warrior code that the hunters may not eat until they have caught prey for the rest of the Clan. Cats will not kill prey only for fun, without the intention of using it to feed oneself, or the Clan, as this is part of the warrior code. the bones, feathers, fur) are usually buried. Usually, after killing prey, a cat will give thanks to StarClan for its life, and will bury it to keep it safe from other predators until they are ready to carry it back to camp. Many different species of prey are hunted by the warrior cats. Each of the Clans have a hunting specialty, due to the terrain they are familiar with and the traditions the cats are raised by. They eat to keep up strength and maintain the health of the Clan as a whole. Details The importance of eating is something that all of the Clans are concerned about every single day. Prey, or fresh-kill, is a Clan term for the animals, both large and small, that are caught for the purpose of consumption.

The third show will be open from 1-5 pm, and it’s free! So, grab the opportunity if you haven’t yet, and check out the amazing artworks created as a tribute to one of the greatest minds in animation – the amazing Hayao Miyazaki.Įditors’ Tip: Imitation and Creativity in Japanese Arts: From Kishida Ryusei to Miyazaki Hayao (Asia Perspectives: History, Society, and Culture) After an astonishing turnout in two showings, Miyazaki Spirit display has been added an encore day on 12th of March, 2016, at Sketchpad Gallery in San Francisco. The participating artists in this amazing tribute show are Tracie Ching, Luke Harrington, Kevin Wilson, Craig Drake, Nicholas Kole, Malisa Suchanya, Brynn Metheney, Krystal Lauk, Tiffany Terrill, Patrick O’Keefe, Jacob Magraw, YJ Lee, Jeany Ngo and Chris Koehler. Hayao Miyazaki Spirit at Sketchpad Gallery in San Francisco The show entitled Miyazaki Spirit is presented by Time Beards and it features both original and limited edition prints, all created as an homage and celebration of the films of Miyazaki and his beloved characters. The gallery’s co-owner and artist Chris Koehler said he expected around 50 people to go through the gallery during the display, and the amazing turnout came as a complete surprise. Two different parts of the event were organized, one designated for the intimate Sketchpad Gallery where a selected handful of Miyazaki-inspired illustrations were on view, and another line formed up for the neighboring gift shop where people could purchase prints. Heavy rain and harsh weather were not enough to deter the queues of people gathering in masses to enter the show in Sketchpad Gallery. Line for the Hayao Miyazaki Spirit show at Sketchpad GalleryĪn Outstanding Turnout for the Art Show in San Francisco But it is the universal message and captivating storytelling that enthralls Miyazaki’s audiences around the world and make them lifelong followers of his work, as proven in the unique show in San Francisco. Lasseter would later on use his position and influence to spread awareness of Miyazaki’s work among American audiences. Miyazaki has often been referred to as the Japanese rival to Disney, but one of his biggest fans is actually John Lasseter who was a Disney animator and director at Pixar. However, in 2001, Spirited Away came along and topped Titanic’s sales at the Japanese box office and won Picture of the Year at the Japanese Academy Awards, and it even became the first anime film to win an American Academy Award. The movie’s success both in Japan and the rest of the world was soon overshadowed by Titanic. Hayao Miyazaki’s Worlds, Art and Work have Generated Fan Bases WorldwideĮven though his animation career started back in 1963, it wasn’t until 1997 and the Miramax Films’ release of Princess Mononoke that Miyazaki became largely known to the Western public. Left: Malisa Suchanya - In the Forest / Right: Tiffany Turrill - Shishigami Forest It is no wonder his work has generated passionate followers and fans throughout the world, and an art show inspired by some of his most popular and beloved projects was on view at Sketchpad Gallery in San Francisco, and, due to high demand, two more alternate openings have been arranged. From the captivating storytelling and amazing characters to intricate worlds, mesmerizing animation and wonderfully served package of visual and emotional ride in everything he creates. What Hayao Miyazaki makes is art in every sense of the word. Through a career of over five decades in film directing, producing, screenwriting, animating, and story-creating, Hayao Miyazaki has created numerous worlds from fragments and chaos that is his creative force. "The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos." |
