Saints row 2 map vs san andreas map5/1/2023 ![]() While the GTA series might make for a better narrative, the Saints Row series (in my opinion, anyway) made for a better experience of pure entertainment. To this day, Grand Theft Auto has yet to feature a true start-to-finish co-op campaign. While missions and activities were tackled together, players could also run about the world in free roam on opposite sides of the map if they felt like it. For starters, Saints Row: The Third had a co-op campaign that was not only fully featured but allowed the second player to participate in interesting ways that went beyond "do the same stuff as Player 1." For example, the controls of a vehicle might be split up between players or they would occupy different positions or roles within the same mission. The game performed admirably (as far as sales are concerned, anyway) and had a number of advantages over the newest Grand Theft Auto game of the time. Whereas Grand Theft Auto was already on its third generation of graphics (transitioning from 2D to 3D and then finally a higher def 3D experience), this was the first big upgrade for the series in terms of fidelity. Developed by Volition (developer of the previous games in the series as well as the FreeSpace and Red Faction franchises), the game had a wonderful sense of newness for existing fans of the franchise and new players alike. Grand Theft Auto IV followed in April of 2008, and Saints Row 2 (released a mere six months later) was definitely lagging behind graphically.Įnter Saints Row: The Third. These two titles largely occupied the same gameplay space, dueling with one another for the crown of their particular vidya fiefdom. Two years later, Saints Row was released to slightly less critical acclaim. ![]() It was widely regarded as an excellent game-the pinnacle of the open world gangster sandbox. On October 26, 2004, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas came out. For the moment, let's take a look back at how we got here by exploring the background of Saints Row: The Third. A good place to start as any is the lovely CG trailer it's by no means representative of the game's graphics, but it sure does show off the game's sense of style. The Saints Row games have been on sale and dropped in price a fair bit unlike its bigger cousin Grand Theft Auto, and now many fans (including myself) are wondering what's going to be next. Today, Saints Row: The Third has sold millions of copies and was followed by two more games in the franchise, Saints Row 4and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell. Saints Row: The Third sold 5.5 million copies in its first year. At its best, it introduced gamers to a new world that put its own spin on the Grand Theft Auto formula-and it did it with astonishing rapidity. It came out in-between the releases of Grand Theft Auto IV (April 29, 2008) and Grand Theft Auto V(September 17, 2013) and, at worst, filled the time for fans of open-world crime sandboxes until the next GTA game came out. Five years ago on NovemSaints Row: The Thirdwas released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Final fantasy xiii torrent kat5/1/2023 Kimi ga Iru Kara - Subsitutes the Japanese "Kimi ga Iru Kara" for the English "My Hands" in the ending scene/credits. However, in actual practice, some of this additional detail is not visible during high motion scenes at 30 frames per second. This should allow a reasonable comparison of the old FMVs vs the new ones. ![]() Several split images are available showing the new processed image along with the original 720p image (scaled to 1080p). This will allow you to recover about 90 GB of disk space. Beginning with version 1.0.5 of the main installer, it is no longer necessary to keep your movie\ subdirectory to reinstall the FMVs as long as you don't delete your XIII game directory. This mod does not overwrite your existing movies, it just adds to the directory and modifies the game database to point to the new videos. If you wish to remove these videos, just run the batch file again selecting "Original". Once it is complete, any available videos should now be viewable in game. Once unziped, run the batch file "_Install_HD_Movies_English.bat", and select the HD Movie option. However, this is not necessary and the mod can be installed as a stand-alone. If you install in the same directory as the Gameplay Tweaks mod, the initial installation will be a bit quicker as it can use some of the already available files. Unzip the mod (main program as well as the FMV files) into a directory of your choice. The game has a 4GB limitation for file size on the FMVs (probably due to the Bink library being used) and unfortunately the last one exceeded that limit (by over 1 GB) due to its length, so the bitrate had to be reduced. All videos are encoded at the same bitrate other than the final ending sequence and credits. Of all the FMVs, the opening credits are probably the worse due to the poor quality of the original, but all of them are improved, and some gain significantly from the process.įile size is set to around 6 GB each due to the download speed limitation for some users (13 minutes of video). However, the videos now require significantly more disk space. To offset this, the bit rate has been increased to compensate for the compression as well as the larger image size. The Bink 1 format has a lower visual quality compared to Bink 2 at identical bit rates. This mod improves the original video to 1080p, however it will now be encoded in the Bink 1 format as Bink 2 requires licensing. The initial videos were in the 720p format, encoded using Bink 2 compression. This mod aims to improve the visual quality of the Full Motion Videos (FMVs) through modern image processing techniques. ![]() Final Fantasy XIII HD Full Motion Videos (English language only)

Ibm learning agile souschef4/30/2023 ![]() While we are being mindful and intentional about the skills we are acquiring, we also need to pay attention to the experiences we are gathering through the work we are doing. Agile learning is the discipline for making this happen.īuild a “Career Portfolio” (Not a “Career Path”) Organizations must embed learning directly into work design so that people who need to acquire new skills can do it as needed on the job. Employees must become continuous learners to keep their skills up to date for success in their current role, and they must reskill periodically to advance their career or to jump into a new high-demand role. ![]() Leaders must create a culture of continuous learning that increases organizational resilience. The future of work demands much greater volume, velocity, and variety of learning for the enterprise and for employees. The changes created by the pandemic, the accelerating impact of automation and the increase of the human lifespan all create a skilling imperative that is not time bound. Skills that are becoming more valuable include proficiency with emerging technologies, analytical skills, capacity for collaboration, working with little oversight, innovative thinking, and resilience. At the same time, these skills are other in-kind - 33% of the skills present in an average job posting in 2017 will not be needed by 2021. More and different skills – The total number of skills required for a single job increases by 10% year over year. Leaders will need to adapt their management styles to fit the unique needs of remote teams. Managing remote teams can present different challenges than working a traditional, in-person team. Hybrid work and workplaces: Gartner has found that businesses looking beyond the COVID-19 pandemic are going to be facing a new kind of challenge: Managing a new type of highly complicated, hybrid workforce. The study found that 82% of business leaders say their organizations plan to let employees continue to work from home at least some of the time, while 47% plan to allow employees to do so permanently.Įmpathetic Leadership: The manager’s role has taken on a new dimension with the responsibility of providing psychological safety and creating a sense of belonging. ![]() They are willing to work hard to achieve this balance. ![]() Good pay and benefits, a commitment to mental health and meaningful work, a transparent stance on social issues, and managerial support and flexibility are essential for today’s workers. Either way, they have changed how we work, learn, and go about our daily lives.Įmployees want more: Employees no longer view their employers simply as their source of livelihood. Some of the changes that have taken place in reaction to the pandemic are temporary, but others are transformational and are part of the new normal. Organizations and individuals which had embarked on the digital transformation path to prepare for the future of work are emerging largely unscathed and somewhat more substantial. While vaccine rollout has begun and the growth outlook is predicted to improve, socio-economic recovery is far from certain. In 2020, the global workforce lost an equivalent of 255 million full-time jobs, an estimated $3.7 trillion in wages, and 4.4% of global GDP, a staggering toll on lives and livelihoods.

Books like the count of monte cristo4/30/2023 ![]() Millions turn to Vox each month to understand an increasingly chaotic world - from what is happening with the USPS to the coronavirus crisis to what is, quite possibly, the most consequential presidential election of our lifetimes. Today, we are extending that goal to 25,000. In the spring, we launched a program asking readers for financial contributions to help keep Vox free for everyone, and last week, we set a goal of reaching 20,000 contributors. He was born in 1762, and the book began its serial publication in 1844. Dumas turned his father, the count’s Black and illegitimate son, into the Count of Monte Cristo, and he gave Alex the rewards Dumas believed should always have been his.Ĭorrection: An earlier version of this article listed the incorrect birth date for Alex and the incorrect publication date for The Count of Monte Cristo. But Dumas, who grew up on his mother’s memories of his heroic and betrayed father, wrote that payoff for him. ![]() Centuries later, when the Nazis occupied France, they destroyed the one remaining statue of him in Paris because it depicted a man of mixed-race heritage.Īlex’s story is almost unbearably bleak, and it lacks any sort of satisfying payoff. His back wages and military pension were never paid out, and he left his family impoverished. (He suspected poison.) He died in 1806 of stomach cancer, with his son not yet 4 years old. But Alex never fully recovered from his years behind bars: By the time of his release he was partially paralyzed, blind in one eye, and temporarily deaf. Rather than negotiate for the release of a valuable member of the military, Napoleon left him there to rot.Īs The Black Count lays out, Alex was released in 1801 after vigorous petitioning from his wife, Marie-Louise, and the pair soon had a child, Alexandre. In 1799, Alex was taken prisoner of war in Naples. After they quarreled during the French invasion of Egypt in 1798, Napoleon decided to take drastic measures. But he made Napoleon nervous: Alex was more handsome and charismatic, and he was truly devoted to the idea of the republic. Still, Alex won battle after battle and terrified his enemies: When he fought against the Austrians, they called him the Black Devil.Īlex served as a general alongside Napoleon, and as Napoleon began to consolidate power on his way to becoming emperor, Alex continued to serve him. ![]() He briefly fell under suspicion by the Committee of Public Safety for being too lenient in his treatment of the enemy, and when he put down a peasant resistance in Vendée, he forbade his men to plunder or pillage. While the Revolutionary Army would become infamous for its excesses, Alex remained steadfast in his nobility. Charismatic and principled, he shot up through the ranks as the revolution caught fire. The French empire offered legal protections to mixed-race people at the time, so at age 14 Alex made his way to France and enlisted in the army. As chronicled in Tom Reiss’s excellent The Black Count, Alex was born in 1762 in what is now Haiti, the son of a white French count and a Black enslaved woman. But Dantès’s betrayal bears a startling resemblance to the real-life story of what happened to Dumas’s father - only he never got his revenge.ĭumas’s father was also named Alexandre Dumas, but we’ll call him Alex here (his preferred nickname) to distinguish him from his famous son. It’s a rich and satisfying story for anyone who has ever felt betrayed: This is how I’ll get mine if fate is just, you might think, seething. Dantès eventually escapes, becomes impossibly rich after digging up a buried treasure trove, and while in disguise as the Count of Monte Cristo, wreaks implacable vengeance on all those who have wronged him. The novel tells the story of one Edmond Dantès, a promising young man whose friends, jealous of his charisma and professional abilities, secretly betray him to have him locked up in prison. It was a revenge fantasy he wrote on behalf of his father, a Black general who fought in the French Revolution and was ultimately betrayed by Napoleon. The Count of Monte Cristo wasn’t just a book for Dumas. It’s The Count of Monte Cristo that has an anniversary today - its serial publication first began on August 28, 1844, making it a sprightly 176 years old - and that means we have an excuse to dive into the novel’s secret history. Today’s Google Doodle celebrates the work of Alexandre Dumas, the French writer who penned swashbuckling adventure novels like The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
