![]() This is good, but if there should be character changes like this in future tomb Raider games, they should keep it to just a few levels (becasue the game is really about Lara, you know, lol.) They did a good job with not overdoing that. I also liked how you could play as Kurtis, a second character, in a couple of the levels. I liked the new moves put into this game, like climbing pipes on walls, and the stealth mode (which made a lot of sneaking easier, lol.). ![]() This game has amazing graphics, and a pretty good story line (although it still confuses me a bit at times.). I'm an avid Tomb Raider fan, and a huge fan of Lara herself. I really liked this game, but I had mixed feelings about it. Now, on the run from the authorities, Lara must avoid being captured as she strives to keep the alchemist and his alliance from unleashing their evil on the world. Croft, but our heroine's quest is complicated as she is framed for the murder of her former mentor, Von Croy. Stopping the villain would be difficult enough, even for the resourceful Ms. A new system is designed to offer smoother control of Lara's many moves, which include new stealth attacks and hand-to-hand combat.įive forgotten works of art, the 14th century Obscura Paintings, will unlock devastating powers if they fall into the hands of a mysterious alchemist who leads a secret alliance of powerful people. Lara also develops throughout the game, as her abilities improve and adapt to the way she's played. She must interact with other characters, and complex situations call for her to make ethical decisions where there is no clear-cut "good" or "evil" choice. Lara must enter a dark, supernatural world where nothing is certain. The role-playing aspects of this adventure are slightly more central to play than in earlier games. Lara herself enjoys the engine upgrade as well, as she's now rendered with ten times the number of polygons as in earlier Tomb Raider games. ![]() This edition is built on a completely new engine, which pumps out "next-generation" graphics and allows many new animations and interactions. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness has been billed as the first true renovation of the best-selling series since the ground-breaking 1996 original. ![]()

You look through the big front window at where you are heading. “You don’t drive a car looking into the small rear view mirror and pondering where you’ve been. “You should expect to see some stock transactions shortly on my behalf,” he said, noting that he’ll still own more than 2 million AMC shares.Īron and Goodman reluctantly took one question from a sole Wall Street analyst before logging off after Aron appeared to take a jab at Wall Street in his comments. Because at his age, 67 it’s “prudent” to diversify. And, “Not a week goes by that we aren’t asked to form a partnership with GameStop, which apparently many of you have heard of,” he joked about the other hot meme stock.Īron also made sure to get ahead of bad press he clearly anticipates when he sells stock by the end of this year, explaining that he needs to do it for estate planning purposes. On e-sports and gaming: “There are reasons to think it might be a smart idea.” Aron noted that Epic Games president Adam Sussman is on AMC’s board. Seems like a good idea to us, especially if we can connect it to major movie titles playing in our theaters.” On merchandise: “T-shirts, golf shirts, coffee mugs, hats. On NFTs: AMC is currently “in conversations with multiple major Hollywood studios about the concept of joint commemorative NFTs related to major film titles” that show in AMC theaters. On crypto: AMC has been exploring with third parties how we can accept crypto “and even launch our own.” On AMC-branded credit cards: “We have already started discussions with several of the major credit card-issuing banks to see if we can start something in 2022.” There’s a clientele, he said, in the AMC Stubbs, AMC A-List and new army of retail investors who are “very much invested in our company financially and emotionally.” CFO Sean Goodman read Aron a free-for-all list of questions culled from this pool during an earnings call with analysts after it reported Q3 earnings.ĪMC Entertainment Sees Q3 Sales Surge, Losses Narrow Amid Theatrical Recovery CEO Says Chain Welcomed 40M Moviegoers GloballyĪMC Entertainment Launching Retail Popcorn Business: It's "So Natural And Logical," CEO Adam Aron SaysĪMC Theatres Launches Open Caption Program In 101 U.S. But it’s a new era thanks to cash the company was able to raise from a ballooning stock price early this year courtesy of fans-turned-investors on Reddit chat rooms and across social media.

He started cutting rope and while cutting he received many bullets. He went at railway station and moved towards the rope which was settled by the soldiers to kill the Muslims who would be sitting at the roof of the train. He found her nowhere and by some links he came to know the plan of killing Muslims. Jugggu thought about Nooran (her beloved) and ran towards the fields because accoding to him she would be in fields. On the other hand, Iqbal and Jaggu were released and brought into the village by tanga and they made them aware that village is changed, and Muslims has gone. Iqbal and Juggut Singh came to know upon their release that some religious agitators came to Mano Majra and instills the local Sikhs against Muslim and. They also shared the plan to kill the passengers of Muslim’s train which will go to Pakistan by passing through this railway station. They gave an emotional speech and asked in aggressive tone that why they let the Muslims go alive while they killed thousands of Sikhs and also convinced them to be the part of their team in order to increase the strength. when the ghost train arrives, the book shows how quickly fear and rumors spread and people begin to distrust people they have known their whole lives. The people moved towards its end when a group of Sikh soldiers with their leader arrived in gurdawara. Hukum Chand, the magistrate, and police officials got tensed when the Ghost Train arrives at mano majra full of the corpse of Hindus from Pakistan. There was no sign of life or death in Mano Majra.

And the longer you have had your phone number, the more information a hacker can find that is likely out there and tied to your number. Michno said his case is now in the hands of the FBI and that the Bureau told him many people are falling victim to SIM swapping schemes. In most cases, the company said it "does not cover any losses … due to a compromise of a customer’s login credentials." In a statement, CoinBase told NBC 5 Responds it is prohibited from sharing details about Phil’s loss. "They wrote, 'Oh, we've found that you've been the victim of a SIM swap.' And all of your bitcoin has been stolen," Michno said. Michno said when he contacted CoinBase to warn them he had been hacked, they told him it was too late. In Michno's case, the thieves went for his CoinBase account holding $135,000 of BitCoin, savings he says were meant to be the foundation of his daughter’s college fund. SIM Swapping is a scheme that the Federal Communications Commission reports hundreds of people fall prey to each year. As they arrive, a scammer is sitting right there, receiving them. That SIM is then virtually connected to the thieves' device, and now, they have access to everything on your phone, including password recovery texts. The way SIM swapping works is a scammer, imitating you, convinces your current phone carrier to switch your number to another company through your "subscriber identity module" or SIM. What happened to Michno is called "SIM swapping." Michno said the Boost Mobile representative told him they had received a request – allegedly from him - to transfer his number to another carrier.īut Michno was not the person who made that request, a point he relayed to the new carrier his phone number was moved to in a conference call with Boost Mobile. "I said 'I never changed to another company!'" "I called Boost Mobile, and I said 'Hey, what's going on with my phone? It’s not working.' And they said 'Oh, we see that you changed to another company,'" Michno explained. ![]() But the call left him with more questions than answers. To find out what was going wrong, Michno said the first call he made was to his phone carrier: Boost Mobile. "I log into my email and I wasn’t able to, it said 'Password Changed.'" "I went to make a call and it wouldn’t make a call," Phil Michno said. That’s what happened to one man in Joliet, who tells NBC 5 Responds his worst fears came true when out of the blue, his phone stopped working. To start, ask yourself: How many accounts do you have tied to your phone number for security? And if someone stole your number, could they gain access to what matters most? NBC 5 Responds found new federal regulations could help better protect you from these kinds of schemes in the future, but for now, it’s wise to implement stronger protection yourself.

In addition to the news of the forthcoming album, Twenty One Pilots have also announced their first-ever global streaming event, which is scheduled to broadcast worldwide on the same day their new album is out. Twenty One Pilots shook the world with the release of their 2015 LP BLURRYFACE, an album that would go on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide and earn. The result is a collection of songs that push forward through setbacks and focus on the possibilities worth remembering." ![]() The duo had to forgo their normal studio sessions but reached a new of level of introspection in the process, adopting a more imaginative and bold approach to their songwriting. The new album was written and largely produced by frontman Tyler Joseph in isolation over the course of the past year at his home studio in Columbus, with drummer Josh Dun engineering the album's drums from across the country.Īn official description of the album reads: "Scaled And Icy is the product of long-distance virtual sessions and finds the duo processing their upended routines along with the prevailing emotions of 2020 - anxiety, loneliness, boredom, and doubt. Shy Away is the first song we are sharing with you from our upcoming album Scaled And Icy. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Android API for Google Drive allows it to be used as a structure for storage and provides you with the ability to look-up and sync document data. The Google+ Platform, for example, requires a single sign-in, the API authenticates the user inside applications using those credentials. Your productivity apps are also highly influenced by Google Play Services. It takes full control over the camera and adds custom markers and overlays. The Google Maps Android API allows the applications on your device to include Street View for Google Maps, even if you don’t open up the separate program. For example, it will identify whether you’re cycling, driving, or walking. The Fused Location Provider collects geographical information and recognizes certain activity and allows other applications to adapt to your actions. Geofencing APIs schedule specific actions when you enter or leave the geographical boundaries of any defined location. The location APIs are responsible for providing specifications about the location services and GPS technologies. Without Google Services, it’s much harder to use your device to help you get from point A to B. All of the data is synced through Google’s cloud infrastructure. They create leaderboards, player achievements, and multiplayer sessions with the Saved Games API. When it comes to gaming, it provides the services used by developers in order to create a social and competitive user experience. It provides many services such as authentication to apps such as the Google Play Store, Gmail, and other Google programs. The component allows your device to function in essential ways. It even affects your device’s operating system. ![]() Whether it’s your maps, your bike-sharing, your games, or YouTube you need with Google services. They are a set of APIs used by other apps.

A key factor we really could not put into numbers is how, with GPU acceleration on, scrubbing the timeline is almost as smooth as analog tape used to be, even with computationally intensive projects. Of course, many other factors affect your editing experience that we have not touched on here. We also were surprised to see faster times for some CS4 render and encoding operations compared to the non-GPU accelerated CS5. This may be due to our rather slow 2.33GHz CPUs. Our CPU load percentages are higher than those we saw during the Adobe pre-release presentations. But, remove GPU acceleration and you have to wait for everything, including nearly 10 times as long for your h.264 encode to complete. Here is how the projects stacked up and shook out.Īs you can see, CS5 with the Mercury Playback Engine, GPU acceleration and native 64-bit software, combine to give you remarkable performance improvements in timeline playback and encoding. Lastly, we set our Program window to 100% full resolution and waited for all hard drive activity to normalize after loading each project before running the tests. ![]() With this one, we did swap out our effects for the GPU accelerated versions. Project 3 is a random selection from among dozens of simple 720p commercial projects we had lying around in our system. nVidia provided the project and media files for Project 2 that gives an impressive demonstration of the GPU performance with P2 HD files. In Project 1, we tried to provide a mix of HD (and one SD) file types regardless of how the GPU acceleration would handle the task. We applied effects to each layer and, in the case of CS5, used CUDA accelerated effects (CS5 comes with 30). We kept the project lengths to 60-seconds simply to allow us to run repeat tests. We ran three test projects that consisted of a variety of HD file types compatible with both CS4 and CS5 to test various aspects of performance. To measure timeline rendering and output encoding times, we simply used a stopwatch. That means we can have far more applications open, so having some extra processing headroom becomes valuable. Why is CPU load important? The new 64-bit architecture allows us to cram our systems with practically an unlimited amount of usable RAM. ![]() There is no performance display in CS4, so we had to estimate FPS (yes, it was slow enough to estimate manually) and we determined CPU load by using the windows Task Manager Performance window. You may need to restart your project to see the variety of useful performance metrics keyed over the program monitor. Select the Debug Database view under the option drop down and change the EnableDogEars setting to True. Open a project in Premiere Pro, press control+F12 to bring up the console dialogue. For timeline playback, we measured display frames per second (FPS) and CPU load by engaging a handy trick you can use as well if your graphics card supports it. We measured three key processes timeline playback, timeline rendering and encoding (now available without opening Media Encoder). We also ran the same tests in CS4 just to give you a sense of the relative performance improvements.įinally, and we are only going to say it once, your results may vary. In case you are not able to do this right away, we ran identical tests in CS5 with and without GPU acceleration. To get the most out of CS5, you may need to get a new nVidia graphics card. As you can see, this machine, while robust, is not the fastest box out there, so the benchmarks we note shouldn’t be limited to the experience of just a few speed geeks. Our hard drive array read transfer rate averaged 182MB/s with a 16.3ms average access time. We installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 64-bit, loaded all the updates and latest drivers then installed CS5 Production Premium and defragged our one system and four project array drives. Our test computer is an 8-core 2.33 GHz Intel Xeon system with 32 GB of RAM and an nVidia Quadro CX graphics card. ![]() Don’t worry, we aren’t going to get overly technical, but to understand the results, it’s important to know the tests setups. At the BenchĬreating test procedures and interpreting results can easily morph from simple to rocket science. In this review, we are going to focus on the key performance improvements in the core application you use most, Premiere Pro, along with another look at After Effects.
