The story's real main theme is the complete and utter incompetence of the city's police, with everything else fading by comparison.Ī.J. It's a real stretch to call it "story-driven", when so many chapters exist entirely to cram in some drawn-out chase or battle sequence with some one-dimensional caricature. Awkward camera and silly "thoughts" (in comparison to the far more efficient "Look" of LiS), little dialogue, no dialogue choices that matter in the slightest, and such an immature need to crash an action sequence or some other stunt literally everywhere. Someone132: Honestly, I played Heavy Rain after Life is Strange, and I thought that it was simply terrible by comparison. It makes you feel like you know everything about Jodie by the end of the game. Maciejewski (crazyaejay): Agreed that's the coolest part of Beyond: Two Souls and it's very cool how the story is told out of sequence. Following her journey from childhood to womanhood felt, like, well, a journey :-)Ī.J. Lunawolve: I enjoyed HRs story more, but have voted for Beyond Two Souls mostly because of Jodie. The story was just so much more engaging and I didn't figure out whodunnit until very near the end, so I wanted to keep picking it up to play more and solve the mystery. Mary Billington (maryb86): I remember Heavy Rain much clearer than Beyond Two Souls. Beyond: Two Souls will make you wonder if he's Willem Dafriend or Willem Dafoeĭavid Cage and his team at Quantic Dream created 2 amazing story-driven games here but I have to choose a winner which is. Beyond: Two Souls gets so abstract by the end that I didn't really care about either of its endings, both of which can be viewed by simply choosing a different prompt right at the end so obviously, Heavy Rain has the better endings. ![]() Seeing Ethan reunite with his son or the Origami Killer get away with his crimes as he frames Ethan are very different ways to end the story and both are worth watching. Warning: this section will contain major spoilers! With that out of the way, Heavy Rain has multiple endings that range from supremely satisfying to completely disheartening depending on how many of the characters succeeded in their hunt for the Origami Killer. The fact that the action slows down and you have to figure out where to tilt the stick instead of being prompted with a specific direction makes it a much more fluid experience so it wins here. Thankfully, Beyond: Two Souls utilizes minimal button prompts, features more natural movement, and allows you to control Aiden where you float around and interact with people and objects. It feels visceral and satisfying although the onscreen prompts take a lot of authenticity out of the equation. Heavy Rain's controls force you to hold R2 to walk then copy onscreen button prompts to interact with points of interest or take part in action-intense quick time events. Heavy Rain is much more than a depressed single father simulator Gameplay I definitely don't want to spoil either of the stories in case you haven't played them for yourself but I will say that Heavy Rain has a better story considering how nuanced and frighteningly realistic it is. Also, Heavy Rain features a realistic narrative in that I could imagine the unfolding events to actually happen in real life but Beyond: Two Souls is science fiction heavy and it gets quite ridiculous near the end, especially with a new dimension known as the Infraworld being introduced. Heavy Rain's plot is told through 4 individuals' perspectives while Beyond: Two Souls' is presented out of sequence which forces you to piece everything together for yourself. Although I appreciate the cast of Heavy Rain, I found the character development in Beyond: Two Souls to be much more fleshed out so it wins here. ![]() Later, CIA agent Eric Winter recruits her only for her to eventually quit and try to live freely. A paranormal doctor named Nathan Dawkins studied Jodie since she was a kid and tries to help her deal with her abilities. ![]() Meanwhile, Beyond: Two Souls has you play as Jodie Holmes who can interact with a ghost-like being known as Aiden. Although Scott seems the most put together, there ends up being a lot more to him than you'd initially think. Each character has their own flaws and struggles with Madison being an insomniac, Ethan having depression, and Norman being an addict. Heavy Rain has you alternate between 4 characters: a single father named Ethan Mars, an FBI agent named Norman Jayden, a journalist named Madison Paige, and a private investigator named Scott Shelby. □ I wish I had a cool SteelBook case for Heavy Rain, too Characters │ One of Video Chums' core principles is "it's better to be late and thorough than it is to be early and misinformed". ![]() So, let's look back at 2 of their previous games and see which one better stands the test of time. Quantic Dream may not have created many games over the years yet their unique story-driven narratives are definitely top-notch.

Take this stretch as far as you like while not straining or forcing anything and still feeling supported, both by the chair and by your hands.As you inhale, raise up through your spine, and as you exhale, begin to bend over your right leg, sliding your hands down your leg as you go. Rest both hands on your outstretched leg.But again, be mindful of how supported you are before folding forward.

Since the brain’s two hemispheres are used more equally as we age, we can bring a better overall awareness to yoga, thus utilizing the mind-body connection more effectively than younger students. In fact, seniors may be able to get more out of yoga than most students. ![]() For more information, see How We Make Money.It’s popular these days to say “yoga is for everybody.” But is that really true? Can it really be practiced by everyone? Even those who, due to age, inflexibility, or injury, need to practice completely from a chair?

"We know our customers have been looking forward to Noiseware 5 plugin and we are gratified by the enthusiastic feedback we have been receiving from the industry and the end-users. In addition, Noiseware 5 plugin provides 64-bit native support for Mac OS X to complement the existing compatibility for Windows systems, as well as full compatibility with Adobe Photoshop CS6. Noiseware 5 features several new and improved enhancements, including a faster core algorithm that retains more image detail, a newly-designed user interface and controls, the ability to create an unlimited number of presets, and a new history control for an unlimited number of history steps. New York – J– Imagenomic, an independent software vendor specializing in digital imagery enhancement solutions, has announced the release of Noiseware 5 plugin, the latest generation of its award-winning noise correction technology. New Version Provides Faster Processing Speeds, Improved Algorithm, Unlimited Presets and History Control, and 64-bit compatibility for Mac OS Xįree Upgrade / Updates for Noiseware 5, Portraiture and Realgrain plugins for All Licensed Owners of Software ![]() Here’s the official press release with all of the details of the updates: PRESS RELEASE: Imagenomic Announces Release of Noiseware 5 and Updates to Portraiture and Realgrain plugins I’m not a Real Grain user so I didn’t run any tests on it yet. Portraiture seems unchanged at this point. From what I see the results are still the best in class as they always have been, so it’s still a great product that is a must for all photographers. Functionally it appears to be mostly the same as far as the UI is concerned, but Imagenomic claims better noise reduction performance and results. Noiseware gets a much needed visual appearance boost to match the more modern look of Portraiture. Imagenomic has done a web site refresh and updated their products recently, so I thought I’d weigh in on the changes.

That means if the top surface of the disc gets peeled/warped/scratched/flaked, it has a high likelihood of damaging the data immediately underneath.ĭo what you want, but you've been warned. While DVDs and Blurays store their data on a layer that is in the middle of the disc's vertical sandwich (for DVD), or closer to the bottom but still with some protection layer in between (for Blurays), CDs store their data almost directly under the top layer. More importantly, if there is ever the possibility of someone trying to peel them off, YOU SHOULD NOT PUT THEM ON CDS (whether CDRs, CDRWs or even CDROMs)! Not only do those labels not retain their stick after a while, but it can make a disc have "out of balance" issues in a player, especially if not put on properly-centered. Printing LABELS ON DISC, otoh, is a bad idea. Printing covers and inserts is always fine. And because of that, I need to refresh peoples' understanding. Wow I didn't think this kind of thing would come up again, but it has. I found this out the hard way as most people have over the years. sticky back labels are not recommended, they just don't aren't worth the effort.

![]() On the left side of the window is the "Library" pane where you can choose your favourite songs from a complete playlist. The application is presented in a simple and welcoming interface. It provides them with high-quality, mobile digital audio in a single box that can be mixed and played back with any key. It's the perfect technology for musicians looking for a complete application to perfect their art. IReal Pro a complete music studio at your fingertips It's an easy-to-use tool to help musicians of all levels master their art. ![]() The accompaniment to the jazz charts are passable, but some of the arrangements that accompany the pop charts sound like they were churned out by a cut-rate wedding band.IReal Pro is an application for iPhone and Android that allows you to create real music scores to make your own original playlist. The styles offered by iReal Pro are just as limited. For instance, for the piano track you can choose an acoustic piano, electric piano, or vibraphone. And within each instrument, you have just a few variations. Regrettably, you don’t have the option to choose better-quality instrument sounds that you may have added to your Mac-via GarageBand or Logic Pro X, for example. Background tracks use the Mac’s built-in software instrument sounds, which are only okay. Instrumentally, iReal Pro is pretty limited. You can additionally export tracks as audio or MIDI files or email charts as HTML files that other users can import into their own libraries. While arranging a tune, you can change time signatures, enter repeats, create sections, and mark sections as an intro or verse. Just pull up the editor and enter in the chart area the chords you like. While the forums provide you with plenty of material, iReal Pro also includes an editor so that you can create tunes of your own. With iReal Pro’s editor, you can edit existing charts or create new ones from scratch. No melody lines or lyrics are included, which I suspect is how the app’s developers get around any copyright issues-after all, if you could copyright chord progressions, the Blues bin at the local record store would hold exactly one album. Click one of these links and the charts are automatically added to iReal Pro and gathered in a playlist. ![]() For example, choose the Jazz forum, and you’ll find links to a load of jazz standards. And you should, because it’s within those forums that you’ll find links to the tunes you really want to play. However, when you first install the app, you’re cleverly asked if you’d like to visit the iReal Pro forums. This isn’t much to start with, and it certainly doesn’t reflect the content of the real Real Book. Pick a tune on the left, and you can read the chart for that track on the right.īy default, you’re supplied with 50 exercise charts. When you press the Play button you hear clicks (the count-off) that indicates the song’s tempo the highlight moves through the chart as the song plays, so you know which chords to accompany. By default, the currently playing measure is highlighted in yellow (though you can change the highlight color as well as the color of the background “paper”). And on the far right are the chords and arrangement for the selected song. Just to the right of that is a list of songs in the selected library or playlist. Along the left side of the window is a Library pane where you choose from among libraries and playlists of tunes. |
