Shattered Memories effectively maintains an air of unease and the element of surprise. The PSP version of the game also suffers from more frequent framerate drops, especially with multiple monsters on-screen or in large environments. The minor drawback to this, however, is that you must deal with a quick but noticeable lag as Harry bursts through doorways during monster-intensive situations. ![]() The expansive world is completely streamed and you therefore won't encounter any exorbitant load times, which is a great feat. Like in the Wii game, you will believe that Silent Hill is a real town as Harry makes his way through fully modeled bars and diners, bathrooms and bedrooms, hotels and malls, amusement parks and fishing docks, woods and underground passageways - each location meticulously rendered with the little details like framed pictures, posters and papers. The beam illuminates the icy intersections and darkened corridors Harry explores believably, even casting and projecting lifelike shadows on walls. A robust particle system allows for heavy snowfall. Shattered Memories looks pretty good on the smaller screen. That said, portable players unfamiliar with the superior console configuration will probably not dwell as much on this shortcoming because the fundamentals still function just fine and navigation - a little more sluggish - remains perfectly serviceable. Instead, the beam automatically shines wherever the character walks - there's no direct control over it, which is a disappointment. The PSP iteration of Shattered Memories is unfortunately not nearly as impressive because Harry is no longer able to point his flashlight around environments. Silent Hill proved to be a standout experience on Nintendo's console for two reasons: excellent pointer controls and a fantastic and moody flashlight tethered to the device. ![]() Backlash is therefore inevitable, but whether you choose to define the experience as Silent Hill-esque or not, it is undeniably well-executed, eerily atmospheric and at times downright chilling - literally, as I'll explain. While devoted franchise fans will find some familiar gameplay elements, characters and story arcs, the Climax Studios sequel is simultaneously distinguished by some altogether new mechanics and concepts that represent bold and refreshing departures from the conventions that some purists hold dear. This is the setup for Shattered Memories, which is not a remake but a full-blown re-imagining of Konami's classic horror adventure game. So with flashlight in hand, he braves the cold, the snow and inevitably the terror as he searches blindly for her. He's confused - his memory is iffy, but he's painfully aware that his little girl is no longer in the vehicle. He's crashed his car in the middle of a blizzard on the outskirts of a small town called Silent Hill.

![]() The state of Delaware has bumped up their rebates by $1,000 over other states like Maryland. Vehicle rebates apply to any vehicle under $60,000 MSRP. The great thing about Maryland is that you can get rebates for not only EV and PHEV’s, but also for EV chargers and installations (40% off) or up to $700. Unlike the states mentioned above, in California there’s an income cap that can disqualify you. In California, you qualify for $2,500 for both PHEV an EV’s. Anything over $60,000 can still land you about $1,000. Similar to Oregon, this state offers rebates of up to $2,500 for electric vehicles under $60,000 or $1,500 for plug-in hybrids under $60,000. Vehicles that don’t meet those requirements (less than 10kWh) only get $1,500. This state offers a $2,500 rebate for a purchase or lease of an EV or PHEV that has a battery capacity of 10kWh or more. You get the $2,000 if the vehicle gets over 120 miles of EPA rated range. Here are the 8 states that offer rebates based on certain criteria being met. While the list of states is small, it’s better than nothing. The icing on the cake is on top of federal incentives, certain states in the union offer rebates for EV purchases and leases. ![]() They either forget, or aren’t even aware these exist.

In Premiere, I have a tendency to move "up" in my timeline, putting the footage on higher video tracks so that I don't accidentally delete anything, but in Final Cut, I naturally kept my timeline tidier, and I only ended up using three video tracks. Although both programs are capable of mimicking the other by holding the command and option buttons, the native way they work encouraged me to edit differently. Moving a clip on top of another in Premiere will delete the bottom clip, while it will move the footage out of the way in Final Cut. The timelines work differently in Premiere and Final Cut. This proved to me that my computer was plenty fast enough to play back my relatively small 4K 100 Mbps footage at 2x speed, but Adobe's software is the weak link. ![]() ![]() When I would add effects to a clip, the footage would be noticeably lower-resolution for a few seconds (while it rendered in the background), but it would always play and scrub smoothly before and after the footage became sharp. Not only did my footage never stutter, but it also scrubbed flawlessly without any additional rendering or proxy building. This is annoying, but I've become used to it.Įditing in Final Cut Pro was shockingly fast. Sometimes, this only takes a few minutes, while other times, it can take over an hour if the project is large enough. To fix this, I've gotten in the habit of making proxies before I start editing any project. The footage may play smoothly for a second in 2x speed, but then, it will freeze up, and when I hit the spacebar to stop playing, the footage will stop and the software will freeze while the audio continues for sometimes up to 10 seconds before the sound stops and the software becomes usable again. This does also happen on some Windows machines I've used, but it's never been this bad. I edit almost exclusively in 2x speed in Premiere, and I'm sad to say that it is completely unusable on my new M1 MacBook Pro. That being said, the project I was working on was abnormally simple. I feel like no matter how gigantic my computer monitors are, they are never big enough for Adobe Premiere, and I've never understood how people can edit a video on a laptop, but for the first time, I found editing in Final Cut Pro very comfortable on my 14-inch laptop screen. I wasn't jumping around from one corner of the screen to the other like I find myself doing in Premiere. I also found that navigating around Final Cut Pro felt a little easier. There are so many extra windows and tools in Premiere that I will probably never use for my simple projects, and this complexity can be a turn-off to new users. There's no doubt that Premiere is far more complicated than Final Cut. After watching a couple of YouTube tutorials, I jumped right into Final Cut Pro without too much confusion. ![]() Army changed the MOS coding structure sometime in the 1980s, so the MOS codes which we held are now part of history.

When Ramses’ envoys complained about the delay in the new bride’s arrival, as well as the pithy size of the dowry promised by the Hittites, Puduhepa wrote to blame it on shortages and a fire that had ravaged the royal storehouses. Discovered by archaeologists in 1906-08, the tablets have provided a wealth of detail on the day-to-day diplomacy between these two ancient empires and the intricate details involved in planning a royal union. The two courts embarked on lengthy negotiations, whose twists and turns historians have interpreted from the clay tablets preserved in the archives of the Hittite capital, Hattusha, in the central region of modern Turkey. And not just any princess: Envoys sent from the Egyptian capital, Pi-Ramses, made it clear the pharaoh had his eye on no one other than King Hattusilis’s firstborn daughter. Nine years later, around the time of his 30-year jubilee, Ramses and the Hittites decided to work for a closer, political alliance by proposing a marriage between the pharaoh and a Hittite princess. In 1258 B.C., partly as a result of that battle, the Hittite king, Hattusilis III, agreed to sign a treaty to bring the long hostilities between the two empires to an end, ushering in one of ancient Egypt’s most creative and prosperous periods. He is succeeded by his 13th son, Merneptah. Ramses II dies after more than 60 years on the throne. The princess takes the Egyptian name Maathorneferure.ġ213 B.C.

Historians now know, by comparing Hittite and Egyptian accounts of the battle, that the outcome of Kadesh was probably less one-sided than Ramses’ depiction.ġ279 B.C. Scenes of the battle adorn the halls of these astonishing funerary temples, exemplifying Ramses’ dual role as builder and public relations expert. He had 60-foot-tall statues of himself carved out of the sandstone in Lower Nubia near the Nile at Abu Simbel. Ramses presented his win as a crushing victory over the Hittites. Nothing, for the moment, imperiled the prosperity and security of Egypt, especially the Hittites to the north, whose empire spread over modern-day Turkey and northern Syria. ![]() Ramses chose his magnificent new capital city, Pi-Ramses, to stage a suitably lavish celebration for this milestone.
