Abraham Lincoln is in charge of the US, the British have Queen Elizabeth, the Romans have Julius Caesar, and so on.įor this demo (which I played on the Xbox 360 it’s the exact same thing on the PS3), I picked the German Empire.

What about the DS version of the game? All is answered after the jump.Ĭivilization Revolution for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS was built from the ground up. I’ve always wanted to try out the Civilization series and now I can finally get into it, thanks to this next chapter in the series. You see, I have two left feet when it comes to playing PC games (excluding Solitaire, of course). I think this is a sign from the gaming gods, really. This is, in fact, the third title I’ve previewed this year for a console game that one would think would be far more suited for the PC.

![]() The sport? No, not the sport, but the event that rapidly came to be the sport: the Tour de France. This was a different market: not blokes who might go to bike races, but their wives who might watch the sport on daytime television. They were pedalling sandwich board men for a chain of children’s clothing stores. The riders who had been publicising Peugeot were no longer advertising basic consumer goods – radios, cars, cigarettes, booze, chewing gum, sausages – like most of their peers. ![]() To start with, Z didn’t make the kind of product that fitted the profile of traditional cycling fans. Between 19, on the back of Greg LeMond’s success, and a massive expansion in television coverage of the Tour de France, cycling went global and Z was part of that process. The arrival of Z coincided with the point where cycling entered a new world. The change was very much of its time, however. And as sole surviving last big-time squad where the lead sponsor was a bike manufacturer, Peugeot was the last factory team in cycling. Peugeot had always made a point of using French componentry: Mafac centrepull brakes, Simplex gears, bits and pieces from TA, Wolber tyres. The damiers had graced greats including Eddy Merckx, Charly Gaul, Walter Godefroot, Tom Simpson, Bernard Thévenet and Roger Pingeon. As a team, in various guises, it had been around since the turn of the century and it had won four of the first six Tours de France. Peugeot had begun sponsoring cyclists not long after its inception in 1882. This is our logo, said the jersey, you haven’t heard of us, but this is what we do. Out went the damiers, the black and white chessboard of the old institution, and in came a ker-pow splodge-splat punch of a logo that might not have looked out of place in a Superman comic strip, along with a scrawl that might have been written by a child, vetements enfants. ![]() ![]() And to make the point, there was a kit change, a seismic one. Z, if you will, the most unlikely of all. That solid, dependable national institution of a name was suddenly coupled with, not another name, as in the case of other major bike companies (think Panasonic-Raleigh, think La Redoute-Motobecane or Renault-Gitane), but a letter. People had been getting on Peugeot bikes and velomoteurs to go to work for over 100 years, and the chances are that a good few of the nation’s children had either been conceived in the back of a Peugeot, or with the Peugeot used as transport to the place of conception.Īll this is to underline that when the Peugeot cycling team stopped being known as Peugeot in 1987 it was quite an event. It was not a national joke in the way that mass-market British car companies were by then. Peugeot had a place in the national warp and weft akin to an English football club such as Arsenal, but at the same time Peugeot itself in its various guises was as good as universal. There is no British or American equivalent for Peugeot, because the status that the bike company and its sponsored cycling teams enjoyed in France in the 1970s and 1980s was unique. Our team is sponsored by a company that is a national institution, one that has probably provided every family in the country with locomotion of some kind, either car or bike or moped. The design is instantly recognisable because the colours are also are worn by amateurs the nation over as they compete. Our team wears colours that go back more than 20 years and have been worn by the greatest athletes in this sport, to win the greatest events. Picture if you will the most rock-solidly traditional bastion of the sporting establishment, with a history going back over a century embedded in the very roots of this sport. ![]() The Automatic Frequency Selection locates an open frequency at the touch of a button.īeing available with SM58 cardioid dynamic capsule or VP68 omnidirectional condenser capsule, the FP2 handheld transmitter is also compatible with all Shure wireless capsules.

There are actually some shoot-em-ups that have gone through some pain to explain this. Shmups have always baffled me as far as sending one ship to stop an intergalactic army goes. While you're doing your best to single-handedly save Earth, the Bosconians have a slightly better tactical strategy of using a lot more than one spacefighter to keep you from achieving that goal. My goal when playing was to blast away a space station with one well placed bullet before zooming off to the next one. You can safely float about space, carefully picking off space stations, but that attracts more space fighters towards you. Here in lies the addictive strategy of the game. You can do this by either attacking the six gun-pods surrounding each station, or throw caution to the wind and dive straight towards the weak point Independence Day style and destroy the entire space station in one attack. The objective is to destroy all the evil space stations junking up space. The ship could fly in not just four, but eight directions! Your only weapon, a gun that fires in front and behind you simultaneously, which is actually a damn bit better than even modern shoot-em-ups can be sometimes. ![]() For one, you could move beyond the field of the screen, pretty mind blowing back in 1982. Now there are first-person shooters, third-person shooters, shmups, arcade shooters, rail shooters.Įven though Bosconian did poorly outside of Japan, it held some impressive innovations for the time. Of course, back in those days we called them shooters, until you kids usurped that moniker for your CoDs and your GoWs. Anyone that has bought a classic games compilation knows that there are a few great classics, but more often than not, many of the games are forgotten also ran titles that are tossed in to bulk up the list of games.įor filler, Bosconian is a surprisingly inventive take on the burgeoning shoot-em-up genre.

Both doctors that I spoke with urged me to consider making more serious changes to my lifestyle or risk the repercussions. I had started to pull the rug off the deeper problem and finally began to see that I needed to go back to the drawing board. I initially thought they were the best solution for me, but my body argued otherwise. These supplements were created to help those that truly needed them. It can be a shortcut to escape our environment.” That made a lot of sense to me. Tools have been developed as one approach to address an issue. “People have all kinds of complicated situations. Michael Twery, National Center on Sleep Disorders Research Director explained to me. “Medicine is administered because someone is suffering it exists to manage symptoms,” Dr. They may reduce the time you are awake during the night, but they don't really increase the amount of time you sleep by very much.” In fact, the National Institutes for Health conducted a study in 2007 determining that the prescription sleep medication Rozerem only increased patients’ sleep time by 11-19 minutes. Michael Grandner of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine explained that, “In the short term, prescription sleeping medications can make sleep shallower and less restorative. Why did these chemical solutions temporarily work, but then seem to exacerbate the issue? Dr. I hadn’t been diagnosed with any condition by a doctor, but rather had taken the situation into my own hands. Still, I worried about the effects that these sleep aids were having on my health. I was on a quest for the magic elixir to treat my symptoms rather than attempting to address underlying causes for my self-inflicted insomnia. I found myself taking more and more supplements to get a solid six hours of sleep. These methods worked temporarily, but they all gradually lost their power. One Ambien, two doses of melatonin, three Advil PM tablets, four glasses of chamomile tea. I replaced sheep with counting sleep aids about five years ago. I could work around it and manually check velocities and force sleep, but this would introduce computation that is theoretically already happening in the physics engine and I want to know what to expect from it.In the beginning, I’d lie tossing and turning in bed for hours, counting an endless queue of sheep. One could point that either gravity, bounce or penetration is the culprit but even if gravity=0 it wouldn't work bounce threshold is quite high already (1) and again, even on 100 won't work with the thresholds and if I go to the extreme of burying the balls 3 cm in the table with min penetration, it will in fact be more unlikely to sleep never reaching 1e-7. It does eventually comes to sleep when velocities are near 0.0000001. Anyway, the magnitude for velocities are also read bellow the thresold. As "sleep velocities" are single floats, I'm assuming they are actually "sleep speeds". At the moment, it had no forces applied on it (except gravity). The screenshot displays the read values for the the black ball (cue_ball). Upper node calls (red outline) the second link, which indicates that "isSleeping" is false. I'm using Antares Universe (VIZIO) to retrieve the values but I assume it's pretty readable even if you are not familiar with it. A ball is 6 in diameter, gravity = -100 (-980 would make it much less likely to sleep), timestep = 0.005 But I don't get why the rigidbody does not sleep when bellow the thresholds set for sleep velocities. On this topic, I understand the benefits of angular drag to reduce speed. |
