![]() An investigative journalist who is reluctantly called to return to his hometown of Basswood, West Virginia after the mysterious death of his best friend, Nick. ![]() Released on December 1st, Twin Mirror is a mystery adventure that follows the journey of Sam Higgins. How it skillfully pulls off a series of vastly different conclusions based on your decisions, allowing you to see just how multifaceted ‘the truth’, harsh or beautiful as it may be, truly is.įrom the makers of Vampyr, Life Is Strange, and Tell Me Why comes Twin Mirror, the first self-published game developed by French gaming studio DONTNOD Entertainment. But it wasn’t until my second playthrough when I started to see just how much the game’s story options could branch that I started to realize the beauty of what Twin Mirror achieves. And given the defacto ‘Happy Ending’ most players will likely attain (where you always tell the truth and do the morally decent thing), it would initially seem like Twin Mirror is an underwhelming game. Twin Mirror is a game you can absolutely finish in less than ten hours. Warning if you are sensible to psychological issues being talked about like panic attacks, the game has some scenes that explicitly deal with those things which also made me feel a bit uneasy.Twin Mirror is a Terrific Thriller You Should Try To Play Twice If I would need to give it a score it would be a solid 8/10 If you look for a game between the setting of Twin Peaks (without the mindfuck elements) and a more grounded story like Heavy Rain, look no further. Other than that, the game did run flawless. Really weird.Īlso there seem to be no achievements on Xbox for some reason and the game cannot connect to Xbox live. Restarting the game also put that same scene that played at 60 back to 30 until I reached the next one. On Xbox Series X the game started at 30fps but switched to 60 after a scene. The game can look really gorgeous especially the lighting is a looker. I really enjoyed it although I think the finale came too fast. I finished the game in one sitting which speaks of the quality. Choices and their outcome feel organic but I did not replay chapters yet to see if they really change major things or just some dialogue.Īfter finishing the game you can replay chapters with an optional collectible hunting mode which does not save your choices. It's rather short (5-6 hours) but it seems there are multiple endings. Sam can always rely on this ally to guide him through social interactions and navigate a society that sometimes rejects singularity.įinished the game today. A representation of himself more emphatic and social. He also soon discovers that the Mind Palace doesn’t really help him confront his fears or reconnect with his acquaintances. Players will be able to study the environment and gather clues allowing the simulation of multiple scenarios to deduct the course of events or predict the story’s key turning points.įacing dramatic events and the ghosts of his past, Sam is progressively losing control of this haven of peace. ![]() Sam’s Mind Palace also plays a central part in his quest for the truth. Players will be able to revisit Sam’s past and witness his memories during flashback sequences. Thanks to unique gameplay mechanics serving the narrative, Sam’s Mind Palace is a safe space where the protagonist can be his true self without any pressure or judgment. As confirmed by the writer Matthew Ritter.Īs a former investigative journalist, Sam Higgs has developed multiple analytical skills represented in the game by the Mind Palace, a place where players will discover multiple aspects of his personality. Again "it's up to Namco" may be the answer. Upgraded versions (Xbox Series/PS5) happening? Not been mentioned in press as of yet either. The Twin Mirror Twitter account stated when asked "it's up to Namco". This game is flying under the radar apparently. It features the usual mechanics of adventure games of nowadays including a branching choice system and investigations. What is this? An original Mystery Adventure game IP from developer Dontnod, creator of the acclaimed Life is Strange series of games. It was originally going to be episodic but with the delays they decided to release a full product. Is this episodic? No, this is a full game.

![]() The recording was made in May 2004 at Bowen Island, part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Rudd recorded Food in the Belly in mid-2004 whilst on break from an extensive North American tour. In his live show, Rudd came to be renowned for his 'one-man band' performances. Instruments included didgeridoos, slide guitars, stomp boxes, djembe drums, slit drums, and the harmonica. Rather than inviting guest artists to join him on the record, Rudd performed all the instrumentation for the album alone with only a few overdubs. In 2004, Rudd released Solace, his first album to be distributed by a major label- Universal Music Australia. It's about the next day and that's why I called it the 12th of September. No one could really do anything about it. All of a sudden there was an attack and there was these people who were equally as toxic that were going to retaliate. That's what the song's about, the world waiting. Rudd wrote the song 12 September, which would feature on his first studio album To Let, about the day after the attacks. Rudd felt "spun out" watching the American media coverage, including graphic imagery of the destruction of the World Trade Center. Rudd was in Canada when the September 11 attacks happened. His music first took him overseas when he traveled to Whistler, British Columbia-Rudd was in a band and would play each night after a day of snowboarding. He drew inspiration from artists such as Leo Kottke, Ben Harper, Natalie Merchant and multi-instrumentalist David Lindley, as well as music from diverse sources such as Hawaiian and Native American music. Career 1998–2002: Early career to debut studio album īefore launching his solo career, Rudd began playing music as part of the band 'Xavier and the Hum'. He lived in villages around the country for nine months, returning to Australia at age 19. Immediately after finishing school, Rudd traveled to Fiji. Īs a child, Xavier Rudd sold recycled wood through his own furniture business. He also played saxophone and clarinet as a child. While primary school–aged, Rudd used his mother's vacuum cleaner as a makeshift didgeridoo and began playing his brother's guitar. Rudd showed a keen interest in music growing up in a family of seven children. Rudd is of Aboriginal, Irish and Scottish heritage, furthermore mentioning having Wurundjeri ancestry, and that one of his great grandmothers was an Aboriginal Australian, and her child (Rudd's paternal grandmother) was taken away from her. One of his grandmothers was from an Irish potato-growing family and grew up in Colac, Victoria. ![]() His maternal grandfather was Dutch, born in Tilburg, a town in the Netherlands, before migrating to Australia. He attended St Joseph's College, Geelong. Xavier Rudd grew up in Jan Juc, near Torquay, Victoria. Several of Rudd's songs incorporate socially conscious themes, such as spirituality, humanity, environmentalism and the rights of Indigenous Australians. Xavier Rudd (born ) is an Australian singer, songwriter, musician, and multi-instrumentalist. ![]() The Fed, as well as other central banks around the world, had responded to the market turmoil by pumping more cash in to the banking system over the past week.īut many market observers felt the Fed would also need to lower rates to restore investor confidence, citing the example of former Fed chair Alan Greenspan. The Fed added that "although recent data suggest that the economy has continued to expand at a moderate pace, the Federal Open Market Committee judges that the downside risks to growth have increased appreciably" and that the Fed was prepared to take more action if necessary. In another statement, the central bank indicated that "financial market conditions have deteriorated, and tighter credit conditions and increased uncertainty have the potential to restrain economic growth going forward." In a statement, the Fed said it took the move to "promote the restoration of orderly conditions in financial markets." With this in mind, several market observers felt that Fed chairman Ben Bernanke needed to acknowledge the risk that the subprime mortgage crisis could hurt the broader economy. Uncertainty is the problem," said Zach Pandl, an economist with Lehman Brothers. Nobody knows who is exposed to these subprime loans. "The credit crunch is both real and driven by fear but primarily fear. That came a day after an analyst at Merrill Lynch suggested that Countrywide might need to declare bankruptcy. Mortgage lender Countrywide Financial ( Charts, Fortune 500), for example, announced Thursday that it needed to tap an $11.5 billion line of credit because of liquidity problems. Nonetheless, stocks have plunged further since the Fed's last meeting due to fears that some financial institutions and hedge funds were in serious trouble because of the mortgage meltdown. "To suddenly turn around and cut the fed funds rate would have made them look foolish." It was only a week and a half ago that they said the outlook for the economy was for moderate growth," said Kenneth Kim, an economist with Stone & McCarthy Research Associates, an economic and bond research firm based in Princeton. "The Fed wanted to ensure liquidity to the markets but they don't want to send a message that they are panicking. ![]() One economist said if the Fed changed course on Friday and cut the federal funds rate, that actually may have spooked Wall Street. 7 and decided to leave both the federal funds and discount rates unchanged. But this move was a good option that will bring some relief to the market," said Oscar Gonzalez, an economist with John Hancock Financial Services. They can't control the financial markets, which are being driven by emotion right now. "The Fed is trying to maintain some stability in the market. Stock futures were trading lower before the open after another wild day Thursday but surged following the Fed's announcement. The Nasdaq composite closed up 2.2 percent while the S&P 500 gained nearly 2.5 percent. What the smart money's saying about the market ![]() ![]() Their results, recently published in The Astronomical Journal, propose that Neptune’s original complement of moons was consistent with the “calm, well-behaved” satellite systems found around the other giant planets, with a mass most likely similar to that of Uranus. Robin Canup of the Southwest Research Institute, Colorado, used a series of computer simulations to figure out the most probable scenario. Oded Aharonson of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, in collaboration with Dr. To unravel the mystery of what Neptune’s original moon system may have been like before Triton’s encroachment, Weizmann Institute of Science doctoral student, Raluca Rufu, who is in the group of Prof. Instead, it appears to be an intruder that caused havoc, throwing Neptune’s other satellites and their orbits off balance and leading to the irregular system that can be seen today. This anomaly has led scientists to believe that Triton was not part of the original Neptunian satellite system. The moons of the other three giant planets – Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus – tend to obey the rules of their satellite systems, rotating very close to the planet’s equatorial plane and in the same direction as their planet, so Triton truly stands out. Not only does Triton orbit much farther away from Neptune than its other, smaller moons, it also spins in the opposite direction to the planet. Triton is unusually massive compared to the other Neptunian satellites but this is not the only characteristic that makes it an outlier. Neptune has one of the most peculiar assortments of moons in our solar system, and Triton is largely to blame. ![]() Important: Make sure the raid is awlays out of range of Runemaster Brundir's "Overload" ability while adjusting and moving due to Runes of Death.

Tank and spank Runemaster Molgeim while moving out of the Rune of Death (large green circles on the ground that kill you very fast). At this point the melee must also interrupt Runemaster Brundir's new ability, "Lightning Whirl" as it does massive amounts of raid damage. Once Steelbreaker is dead, the MT pulled Runemaster Molgeim off of the OT and tanked him across the room, and the two Runemasters' damage increases. DPS and the MT healer should adjust accordingly to stand in the rune in order to help DPS faster to beat the 10 minute enrage timer. The healers and DPS should stack together for AoE healing due to the static aura on Steelbreaker that does 3,000 damage every 3 seconds, while the tank moves Steelbreaker backwards any time a Rune of Power is summoned underneath the boss's feat. Dispellers or Mages should also focus Runemaster Molgeim so to dispell or spell steal his buff that absorbs 50,000 damage but increases damage by 50% for X amount of time (red anti-magic shell graphic). ![]() Tank and spank Steelbreaker with the MT healer winding up a big heal that will land just as soon as the Fusion Punch damage is dealt, while immediately dispelling the left over magic DoT on the tank (fatal if not removed).

Victoire, after much hesitation, applies for and is granted an amnesty from the government. ![]() The death of her first child, the fatal wounding of her husband, who took three weeks to die after receiving a bullet in the head, the execution of her father and her eighty-year-old aunt, the deaths one after another of twin daughters born when she was in flight after her husband’s death, the murder of the courageous and generous Henri de la Rochejaquelein by two enemy soldiers whose life he had spared, are all described in a remorseless sequence, along with the thousands of deaths of anonymous men, women and children, many of whom were caught up in events of which they had no understanding at all.Īnd there isn’t even an optimistic ending. The Marquise’s account, written for her children, is personal, and could not be dispassionate. ![]() Quite recently, a controversial claim was made that the deliberate slaughter of civilians by the ‘Infernal Columns’ of the Republic, who were intent on wiping out all resistance – and who used mass shootings, bayonetings, burnings, and (at Nantes) drownings – amounted to genocide. Whether the revolt of the Vendée was doomed from the start, because of the innate limitations of the staggeringly brave but ill-equipped and hopelessly untrained Vendéen peasants whether it would have succeeded if Britain had actually come up with the naval and military assistance she kept proferring whether the in-fighting among the rebel commanders made much difference – all this apparently still exercises French historians today. It’s impossible to summarise the story of exultation, suffering and tragedy which follows. They survived a nerve-wracking journey during which they escaped capture only through the aid of Lescure’s former tutor, who had some influence with the republican regime, and was able to procure the passports and paperwork they needed. 2) were members of the ‘knights of the dagger’, the bodyguard of the king, and both decided to leave Paris for their country estates in the Vendée. Both Lescure and his cousin Henri de la Rochejaquelein (hero no. Having considered and decided against emigrating, the couple were in Paris – and 21-year-old Victoire was seven months pregnant – when on 10 August 1792, a mob attacked the Tuileries palace where Louis XVI was confined, removing any pretence of continuing Bourbon rule and unleashing violence against any perceived royal supporters. ![]() It was a marriage arranged by the family, but the narrative makes clear that it was also a love match, embarked on at a time when the outlook for devoted royalists in France was not promising. In October 1791, she married a cousin, the Marquis de Lescure, and one of the three heroes of this book. Both her parents were in royal service, and Louis XVI and Madame Victoire, the daughter of Louis XV, were her godparents. Marie-Louise-Victoire de Donnissan was born at Versailles in 1772, with a metaphorical silver spoon in her mouth. I had no real idea of what to expect: the work was first published in Bordeaux in 1814, and this English translation in 1827 (as part of ‘Constable’s Miscellany of Original and Selected Publications on the Various Departments of Literature, Science and the Arts’), with a foreword by Sir Walter Scott which put into wider context the revolt against the French Republic of the people of the Vendée. In fact, the memoirs make extremely grim, but compelling, reading. We reissued the Memoirs of the Marquise de la Rochejaquelein in 2010, but I have only just got around to reading the book.

The first thing you want to do after beating Morgott is to go to the Erdtree entrance, rest at the Site of Grace, speak with Melina, and obtain the Rold Medallion to access the Mountaintops of the Giants. The game gives you loosely tells you where to go in the form of faint lore, the lines on the Sites of Grace, and perhaps from the missable dialogue.
