You’ll also typically want to stop at as many Rest Sites as possible, each one granting you a choice to either heal a percentage of your current max HP, or upgrade a single card to its full potential (usually consisting of either an increased effect or a decreased cost). ![]() Over the three “Acts” or Spire levels that form the game’s core gameplay loop, you’ll of course gain new cards, find powerful passive Relics, and collect one-shot potions, all usually via battle drops or Shop visits. The dungeon’s map system itself is also an integral part of the strategic experience, a simple yet deep feature that isn’t necessarily signaled by the basic pitch of “Battle your way to the top of the Spire!” Based on word of mouth and screenshots, I had originally assumed StS‘s roguelike structure would simply entail going from one semi-random battle directly to another, with opportunities to heal/upgrade/etc at metered intervals between matches - but unlike more minimal deckbuilders I’ve played on mobile, such as Meteorfall: Journey and Night of the Full Moon, here you get to genuinely chart your own course through each level’s semi-randomized map, deciding which encounter types to seek out and which to avoid. “I am once again asking for your financial support.” So an alternative way to look at the game’s widely recognized status as an exemplar of the genre is that it set the template on which most other roguelike deckbuilders have been based - including both its many shining attributes, and its sometimes frustrating flaws. It also just so happens that five years ago is, you guessed it, when Slay the Spire was released. This perfect marriage of genres has led to a rapid proliferation of variants on mobile, console, and PC alike. ![]() Over the course of at least the last five years, self-contained “deckbuilder” games - usually digital-first or digital-only card games focused on collecting and upgrading a new, different combination of cards over the course of each play session - have, organically, almost all evolved into roguelikes. ![]() And while there are plenty of games that apply the roguelike formula to all kinds of overlapping genres - from the fast-paced hack-and-slash / bullet hell / action-RPG genre pastiche of 2020’s universally accoladed Hades, to the methodical, tactical, every-decision-counts turn-based gameplay of old-school titles like the one that gave the genre its name - as you might imagine, this approach meshes extremely well with card-based gameplay. Pretty much all of this should sound familiar to players of more traditional collectible card games like Magic, where millions have long been acquainted with the intoxicating potential of limitless possibility within a reassuring range of constraints. This perpetual tightrope walk between familiarity and novelty can, and often does, offer near-limitless replay value as you strive over and over and over and over to either get farther than you’ve ever gotten before, or to get to the end of a game’s (or game mode’s) predetermined number of levels with a climactic finish. On the odd chance that there are still any gaming enthsuiasts out there who remain unfamiliar with the sometimes contentiously specific “roguelike” premise, suffice to say the term has become a catch-all for games where you grind your way through randomized or semi-randomized dungeons or levels, each time encountering a cyclical variety of threats and rewards drawn from upward-scaling pools, resulting in highly varied and excitingly unpredictable scenarios and character builds. Of the games I’ve played of this kind, SLAY THE SPIRE is by far the deepest, at times feeling like a nascent but full-fledged CCG - though it isn’t safe from the typical pitfalls of its increasingly common genre hybrid. Deckbuilder games seem to have collectively realized, at some point over the years since I first played Ascension on my phone, that they’re at their true potential in a roguelike format. ![]() ![]() One of Christie's victims was his neighbor, Beryl Evans, who turned to Christie to help terminate a pregnancy (Christie had limited medical knowledge from military service). Algora's killer even whistles the classical piece "In the Hall of the Mountain King" like Peter Lorre's desperate killer in "M."īut Fleischer is equally concerned about the poisonous impact that Christie's crimes have on the victims and their families, and the law's often shortsighted response to such horrible actions. Algora places the blame for such wanton acts of violence on the quality of life in these neighborhoods, and seeks to connect his film and its location with Fritz Lang's "M," another story of a child murderer living among the poor in a major city. "The Mudboy" focuses less on the grisly details of the killings than the unrest they cause for Buenos Aires's barrio residents. He spent the majority of his life in prison following his conviction in 1912 and died behind bars in 1944. Nicknamed "El Petiso Orejudo" (roughly, "The Big-Eared Little Person") because of his small stature and protruding ears (due in part to malnutrition and the effects of diseases passed down by his abusive father), Godino graduated from killing animals and pyromania to arson and eventually, the murder of four young children. The culprit was Cayetano Santos Godino, a disturbed young man who may have committed his first homicide at the age of 10. Though the boy's visions are the focus of the film, its inspiration is a bizarre string of murders in Argentina between 19. ![]() If the plotline sounds familiar to you, it's because the interaction between Kneppel and Bundy inspired the chilling discussions with Hannibal Lecter in Thomas Harris's "Red Dragon" and "The Silence of the Lambs." The negotiations between the two men in "The Riverman" may lack the theatrical firepower of Anthony Hopkins' performance, but Greenwood and Elwes pull off exceptional high-wire acting here, with Elwes giving his best performance to date as a monstrous narcissist whose repulsive desires lurk just below the surface of his picture-perfect face. Kneppel's investigation draws the attention of Bundy (played by Cary Elwes), who offers his own unique "perspective" on the criminal mind in exchange for photos of the crime scenes. Years later, Kneppel, now a criminology professor, is called upon by police in Washington state to consult on a string of murders involving sex workers. It also can't decide to sympathize with or indict Homolka, offering lightweight evidence for both perspectives.īruce Greenwood plays Robert Keppel, a real-life former police detective who investigated Bundy and actually interrogated him prior to his arrest in 1975. She isn't helped by an underfed and clichéd script that adds a doctor character (played by Patrick Bachau of "The Grey Man") that coaxes out the story as an extended confession. Laura Prepon, who at the time of filming was wrapping up " That '70s Show," tackles a difficult role in playing Karla, but isn't fully up to the challenge of handling both sides of the character's mental state. However, videotapes of the murders showed that she took a more active role. Homolka's participation in the killings was the subject of considerable debate during her trial - Bernardo had committed numerous rapes prior to the murders, and was the primary force behind the torture-killings of the three women - and she initially claimed that she was forced into joining Bernardo because he had threatened her with violence. "Karla" is based on the lives and crimes of real-life Canadian couple Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, who were responsible for the death of three young girls, including Homolka's sister, between 19. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, few were left smiling by "Smiley Face Killers." It's also possible that viewers attracted by Easton and Hunter on the marquee expected an angsty drama and not Crispin Glover in a hood. It's possible that the college drama - which is handled well by both Easton and the cast - sucks up much of the film's oxygen and leaves the actual horror sequences, which are genuinely spooky, as an afterthought. The reaction to "Smiley Face Killers" was surprisingly negative. Eventually, his paranoia proves correct, as he is abducted and murdered by the hooded people, which include a particularly creepy Crispin Glover. The film, directed by "River's Edge" director Tim Hunter and written by Bret Easton Ellis, follows a troubled college student (actor/singer Ronen Rubenstein) who believes that he is being targeted by unseen stalkers, but finds himself unable to convince others due to his history of psychological problems. "Smiley Face Killers" puts a face, so to speak, on the theory, and suggests that several shadowy figures in hoods are carrying out the murders. ![]() ![]() Start Further Info FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The effective date for the final rule amending 12 CFR part 1253, published December 27, 2022, at 87 FR 79217, is delayed until April 28, 2023.

The first time the world saw it was in 1999, and it was originally released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation only. According to Wikipedia, Warzone2100 is "an open source real-time strategy and real-time tactics hybrid computer game." More about it can be found here. And all of a sudden … BOOM! Warzone2100! What's that? Wikipedia answers this question better than I would ever do. Finally I have found a website about an open-source games. I decided to find myself something that will entertain me for the rest of the day, so I have started browsing the web, hoping to find something really interesting there. Don’t expect much from it, but don’t underestimate it too much either.I was messing around with my machine sometime ago. ![]() To wrap it up, Warzone 2100 is what you play out of curiosity. It’s worth it if you want to try something… old and acceptable Sure, it’s not all that complex, and it takes a while to gather components, but it’s a nice feature nonetheless. Unlike in most RTS games, in Warzone 2100 you can build a tank piece by piece. The latter are studied and grant you access to new tech that can be used to create custom units and advanced buildings. Throughout the campaign, your units will demolish a number of structures that reveal artifacts. Warzone 2100 is a very basic game in almost all aspects, even though it offers some good features. From a gameplay point of view, also, it will not impress. A very basic RTS that’s as OK as an indie titleįrom a visual point of view, Warzone 2100 will not impress. In the campaign, you will follow a series of missions that open up the world around you so that you can face new and more challenging threats. Warzone 2100 is not the most popular of RTS titles. There’s nothing against playing with another person, the problem is finding one who would. The game offers both singleplayer and multiplayer modes out of which the first is your safest bet if you want to find some enjoyment in this game. In Warzone 2100 you play as The Project, a faction that is trying to push back the enemy so that they can rebuild the planet after it was almost destroyed by nuclear incidents. Wage war to rebuild an almost lost planet Right now, it’s a very basic yet still decent RTS. Since then, it has been left to be handled and improved by the community and, unfortunately, it has not seen a great deal of improvements. ![]() Warzone 2100 was a nice little project from a while back that had the purpose of creating a real-time strategy game with a Sci-Fi setting. ![]() ![]() While we completely agree, we have a made an exception in this case. Changing the scale like this is a big data visualization “no no”, as rightly pointed out in a blog post by The Economist. Then, as we get closer to modernity, the chart uses mostly 10 year intervals. The first gap on the x-axis is 1,000 years and the second is 500 years. The time periods between data points aren’t equal – in fact, they are not close at all. If you looked at the chart in any depth, you probably noticed a big problem with it. It’s also worth noting that the original source for all the data up until 2008 is from the late Angus Maddison, a famous economic historian that published estimates on population, GDP, and other figures going back to Roman times. ![]() If you like, you can still find the original chart (which goes to 2008) at The Atlantic. Originally published in a research letter by Michael Cembalest of JP Morgan, we’ve updated it based on the most recent data and projections from the IMF. By showing the changing share of the global economy for each country from 1 AD until now, it compares economic productivity over a mind-boggling time period.
