![]() Stay tuned for more coverage of the game as it hits at the end of this October on the 2020 gaming calender. With plans in place to support a speedrunning scene and now worry-free next-gen in the cards, Ghostrunner is shaping up to be a standout experience even in a year where Cyberpunk has been a heavy trend. ![]() The demos throughout 2020 have continued to impress more and more. Having played it at PAX South earlier this year, we can easily say that Ghostrunner was one of the most interesting things we experienced at the show: A cyberpunk blend of Hotline Miami and Mirror’s Edge in which you have incredibly fluid movement controls such as sliding, wallrunning, and a razer sharp sword to cut everyone in the room to ribbons with on your way through its dystopian world. ![]() Ghostrunner has been nothing short of a joy to watch and experience. Pre-Order Now □ #BeGhostrunner #PS5 #XboxSeriesX /49yTJDz55d Owners of the 4 & One versions of Ghostrunner will receive a free upgrade to the next generation versions when they release in 2021! A Nintendo Switch version is also planned. Currently, Ghostrunner is slated to launch first on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 26, 2020. According to the recent post, not only is Ghostrunner coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X, but PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will get free upgrades if they have the new systems when the next-gen version of Ghostrunner launches. The streets of this tower city are full of violence. Make your way up from the bottom to the top, confront the tyrannical Keymaster, and take your revenge. Climb Dharma Tower, humanity’s last shelter, after a world-ending cataclysm. Note: while typical resolution in 120Hz mode is. 'Ghostrunner is a hardcore FPP game packed with lightning-fast action, set in a grim, cyberpunk megastructure. The confirmation of next-gen and free upgrades were announced on the Ghostrunner official Twitter on October 22, 2020. In this video - the first from new contributor, Oliver Mackensie - we take a look at the console ports of the excellent Ghostrunner, with some quick PC comparisons, a detailed examination of the 60fps, 60fps/RT and 120fps modes, plus an overview of what to expect on the base PlayStation 4 too. It will also be coming to next-gen systems PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2021 with a free upgrade confirmed for current-gen players when the game comes out. Ghostrunner isn’t just about to launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The finish line is in sight for the cyberpunk slasher action game, but it seems a new journey is coming soon after for the devs. One More Level, 3D Realms, and Slipgate Ironworks have been hard at work at putting Ghostrunner together for launch at the end of this month.

![]() But Daenerys disagrees and wants to move forward anyway. Planning the King’s Landing attackĮven though the majority of her advisors, including Jon and Sansa, want to rest their army before attacking King’s Landing because they just battled a bunch of zombies and almost died. Just asking something like that of him is irrational, but her ambition for the throne so blinds her, she doesn’t see any other way. He thinks it doesn’t matter because he doesn’t want the throne anyway, but she disagrees. When Jon and Daenerys finally talk about the big elephant in the room (Jon’s parentage), she begs him not to tell anyone. ![]() Later, when she meets Sam, and he finds out what happened to his family, he’s distraught yet, Daenerys doesn’t seem to have compassion. Tyrion, again, tries to talk her out of burning Lord Tarly and Dickon Tarly alive for staying loyal to Queen Cersei after the sneak attack on the Lannister army. Instead, the dragons take out their fleets, and Grey Worm kills two of the masters to send another message…because they must not have received the first one. Close call in MeereenĪfter her escape from Dosh Khaleen, Tyrion has to talk her out of crucifying more masters and basically burning the city to the ground. Yeah, most of them get killed in the Battle of Winterfell pretty quick. Then, she convinces the Dothraki to follow her across the sea to Westeros. To escape Vaes Dothrak, she burns all the khals alive. This is one of those badass moments I was referring to earlier. Later in the season, to avenge Ser Barristan’s death, she has her dragon burn a master alive to “send a message.” Again, the man may not have been guilty, but it didn’t matter to her. Even though Ser Barristan advises her against it, she crucifies 163 masters, whether they were guilty or not. When Daenerys arrived in Meereen in season 4, she found 163 crucified children. But now that King’s Landing and the Red Keep is all but destroyed, it’s most likely ash from all the fire. At the time, we all assumed that the room was covered in snow and that winter had come. At first, they wouldn’t let her in, to which she replied that she’d “ burn cities to the ground!” Later, while Daenerys looked for her dragons in the House of the Undying, she had an illusion of a destroyed Great Hall. The vision in the House of the UndyingĮarly in season 2, after Daenerys, Jorah, and her people wandered through the desert, they happened upon the affluent city of Qarth. House of the Dragon: Get your first look at the Game of Thrones spin-off! 1.Hours later, the sun starting to pass behind the mountains, Jon and Daenerys guided their dragons to a gentle landing at the waterfall.

I'm sure that I'm forgetting a bunch of other huge gaming rivalries, but as someone who got into the competitive scene of games like SSBM and LoL simply because of the narratives and rivalries perpetuated by the community and commentators, I know that this is a working way to get new people interested in a great game. ![]() Leffen vs Chillindude Salty Suite in Smash Melee Now before this post gets thrown out as trying to incite drama or whatever, just realize that some of the greatest gaming moments and rivalries have come from situations like this. As a result, this event would garner not only the interest of those already interested in competitive TFT, but it would also introduce people who are interested in narratives to competitive TFT. Unlike the other twitch rivals events which are meant for people who are already fans of competitive TFT, this could be advertised as an event with higher stakes and pride on the line - with all involved parties having something to prove. Now while something like this would generally require collaboration from both parties to some extent, I was thinking that this could be a great opportunity for the TFT team to take advantage of the situation and set up something like a twitch rivals event between Korea and NA for viewers to be excited about (should the affected individuals be willing). These events often lead to an increase in viewership for the involved individuals, as viewers are invested in the fact that each party has a more-than-monetary incentive to win. Content creators in these games often find ways to settle their beef by having ladder-climbing competitions or even straight-up 1v1s. My intention for this post is not really to bring attention to the drama (I'm sure most of you here probably already are aware of what happened), but I wanted to suggest ways in which we can use something like this productively in order to benefit the TFT community and garner further interest from people who aren't associated with the competitive scene.ĭrama like this is not unique to the TFT scene - situations like this arise pretty often in other competitive games such as League, Hearthstone, and Smash. For those who need context on the situation that I'm referencing, here's a tweet thread by GV8 that pretty much sums up the entirety of it: Examples of ionizing radiation include radiation therapy used to treat cancer and radiation exposure caused by atomic bombs. People who have been exposed to a type of radiation called ionizing radiation have an increased risk of brain tumor. But doctors have identified some factors that may increase your risk of a brain tumor. In most people with primary brain tumors, the cause of the tumor isn't clear. In adults, secondary brain tumors are far more common than are primary brain tumors.Īny cancer can spread to the brain, but common types include: Rarely, a metastatic brain tumor may be the first sign of cancer that began elsewhere in your body. Secondary brain tumors most often occur in people who have a history of cancer. Secondary (metastatic) brain tumors are tumors that result from cancer that starts elsewhere in your body and then spreads (metastasizes) to your brain. As the craniopharyngioma slowly grows, it can affect the pituitary gland and other structures near the brain.Ĭancer that begins elsewhere and spreads to the brain These rare tumors start near the brain's pituitary gland, which secretes hormones that control many body functions. But sometimes germ cell tumors affect other parts of the body, such as the brain. Germ cell tumors may develop during childhood where the testicles or ovaries will form. A medulloblastoma starts in the lower back part of the brain and tends to spread through the spinal fluid. ![]() These cancerous brain tumors are most common in children, though they can occur at any age. These tumors can affect the pituitary hormones with effects throughout the body. These are tumors that develop in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. These are benign tumors that develop on the nerves that control balance and hearing leading from your inner ear to your brain. A meningioma is a tumor that arises from the membranes that surround your brain and spinal cord (meninges). These tumors begin in the brain or spinal cord and include astrocytomas, ependymomas, glioblastomas, oligoastrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Each gets its name from the type of cells involved. Many different types of primary brain tumors exist. In adults, primary brain tumors are much less common than are secondary brain tumors, in which cancer begins elsewhere and spreads to the brain. The result is a mass of abnormal cells, which forms a tumor. The mutations tell the cells to grow and divide rapidly and to continue living when healthy cells would die. A cell's DNA contains the instructions that tell a cell what to do. Primary brain tumors begin when normal cells develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. Primary brain tumors originate in the brain itself or in tissues close to it, such as in the brain-covering membranes (meninges), cranial nerves, pituitary gland or pineal gland. Medulloblastoma is the most common type of cancerous brain tumor in children. Medulloblastoma is a type of brain cancer that starts in the part of the brain called the cerebellum.

Now one of the many questions I’ve seen online has been “is Carmen de la Pica Morales, one of the OG characters that going to make a comeback?!” And to question is sadly no, and that’s an answer from the creator themselves and with their reasoning being that it can Che controversial because of the actress being an actual Latina, and the want to add more diversity. ![]() ![]() Obwohl sie sie in Jennys Arme drückt, ist sie überzeugt, dass es die Liebe ihres Lebens ist.

Some therapies take place in virtual-reality environments, such as a crowded train filled with hostile passengers in absurd costumes staring judgmentally at patients. Kerr is working on making such therapies more fun in order to lower the dropout rate, which she says can be as high as 50%. Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment designed to help patients confront the fears they have been avoiding in a safe environment. These benefits explain why certain therapies try to take people out of their comfort zones by exposing them to things that scare them. People talk about all the endorphins, adrenaline and changes that happen in the body when our sympathetic nervous system increases its activity and circulates all of these different hormones and neurochemicals that, in the right context, can make us feel strong and powerful.” “There is the physical high, the natural high.

The hologram water screen is just one of the many features that iSlide offers to upgrade existing slides. To keep competing with this new generation of water slides, more and more waterparks choose to upgrade their existing slides. Water slide manufacturers go to great lengths to bring something new to the waterpark industry. iSlide can also build custom themes to make the water screen fit the park’s style. Are monsters a bit too scary for the younger sliders? Then simply choose for a more appropriate theme like cartoons. This means that the experience is kept alive until the very last moment. An advanced video projector is installed behind the curtain, so the hologram is not broken by any shadows before you slide through it. So how is this done? A specially developed water screen makes sure that the surface is fit for projections, so the images you see are bright and realistic. The adventure you just had really made the water slide come alive. There seems to be no escape possible when you slide right into snapping jaws or a watchful monster’s eye. When you turn a corner in the slide, you see a huge monster lurking ahead of you. If you are thinking about turning your slides into thrilling adventures, consider adding one of iSlide's most exciting features: the hologram water screen that will let you crawl through the eye of the needle – escape heroically from realistic monsters projected on this unique water screen. |
