Grossman the magicians land11/12/2022 ![]() On the day of his Princeton interview, Quentin is instead transported to Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, the only school for magic in North America. He loves a series of books called "Fillory and Further", which involve the children of the Chatwin family discovering a Narnia-esque magical land called Fillory. But it's also thrilling and exciting and totally unpredictable.Quentin Coldwater is a high school student from Brooklyn who, along with best friends James and Julia, attends an advanced school. There are some really beautiful themes woven into this story - about the way people experience stories as children, teenagers, and adults about growing up, and of course love, redemption, all that stuff. Now, Quentin has had time to reflect on the world, magic, and life in general, and he's more optimistic, thoughtful, and creative. ![]() Previously, we experienced everything through the lens of the main characters' (often tiresome) teenaged jaded world-weariness. In the end, everything ties back to Brakebills and Fillory - and this is where this book really starts to stand out as something exceptional. It's funny, a little sad, and insanely dangerous, and it sucked me into the story at once. It's incredibly refreshing, and so is the first part of the story: Quentin, working as a magical gun-for-hire, gets involved in an ill-advised heist for some shady characters. Quentin finally gets some perspective! He has become the likeable adult that often results from a troubled and disaffected youth. I showed up for "The Magician's Land" ready to have my 30-something worldview shaken around once more by the horrifying genius teenagers from the previous novels, only to find them all grown up (at least, those who survived) and behaving much more sensibly, and sensitively, than I expected. The stories have it right for most of us-once you grow up it is almost impossible to fully return to those lands of your dreams, whether it be Narnia, Fillory or Neverland. It makes me a little sad-I wish I could have gotten more into the spirit and summoned back to life the sense of wonder I had as a child. For me, however, the mystery of the first novel in the series was missing and I found it increasingly hard to care about what happened to the characters in a world so disconnected from our own. Descriptions of the imaginary world and its inhabitants are lush and evocative and sure to appeal to lovers of the genre. At his best, Lev Grossman recreates in my heart the almost painful yearning I had as a child to enter the fantastical world of of Narnia (Fillory, in Grossman's rendering of that world). How would those stories play out if the characters were allowed to mature and develop in the "real world"? I loved the first book of the trilogy, the second a little less so and the third (this one) not so much. It's the story of a boy becoming a man, an apprentice becoming a master, and a broken land finally becoming whole.Īlthough not usually a fan of the fantasy genre, a large part of the appeal of this trilogy for me has been its inspiration from the Narnia chronicles of C.S.Lewis which captivated me as a child. The Magician's Land is an intricate thriller, a fantastical epic and an epic of love and redemption that brings the Magicians trilogy to a magnificent climax, confirming it as one of the great achievements in modern fantasy. To save them he will have to risk sacrificing everything. ![]() ![]() He uncovers the key to a sorcerous masterwork, a spell that could create magical utopia, a new Fillory - but casting it will set in motion a chain of events that will bring Earth and Fillory crashing together. But all roads lead back to Fillory, and his new life takes him to old haunts, like Antarctica and the Netherlands, and buried secrets, and old friends he thought were lost forever. But he can't hide from his past, and it's not long before it comes looking for him.Īlong with Plum, a brilliant young undergraduate with a dark secret of her own, Quentin sets out on a crooked path through a magical demimonde of grey magic and desperate characters. With nothing left to lose he returns to where his story began, the Brakebills Preparatory College of Magic. Quentin Coldwater has been cast out of Fillory, the secret magical land of his childhood dreams. The stunning conclusion to the New York Times best-selling Magicians trilogy. ![]()

Evocreo deor11/12/2022 ![]() ![]() No, you can’t change their names to something personal (if you can, I haven’t been able to yet. ![]() One who’s strong, one who’s balanced, and the other who has great defense. Anyway, this will be your first Creo! (’Pokemon’) And to do that, you have to pick your favorite one. Once you visit the farm (…there’s no map in the beginning, so I ran around for awhile looking for this damn farm), the farmer (who is surrounded by three little creatures) immediately asks you to help him by taking the little ones out for fresh air. Lanos (the family friend) suggests that you go visit the local farm to aid the farmers, after telling you how much potential you have…like your father. Both of you rush to find a family friend (who reminds me of Professor Oak) who was the person to realize your father was gone. The game starts off with you on a cliff (as pictured above) and your brother/sister comes to retrieve you because HOLY SHIT, dad is MISSING. I obviously wasn’t feeling too creative on his name. I named my avatar Alaylah and my brother Thomas. Apparently, they’ll be with you on your adventures. While picking out your (the avatar’s) name, you also pick out your brother’s (or sister, depending on who you chose) name. Hell, the title screen SCREAMS Pokemon when you turn the app on.įirst things first…am I a boy or a girl? Of /course/ I get to choose which avatar I wish to play with (just like Pokemon). I’ve played quite a few Pokemon rip offs that I found on GooglePlay, but this one looks and feels far more polished than the others. The reviews are mixed (of course) so I dove in anyway because why not? It’s only one dollar lost if I hate it. Just by looking at the screenshots, I can tell it was a Pokemon type game…I’m down for that. I’ve recently purchased a $0.99 game called EvoCreo. ![]()

Anno 2070 multiplayer connection failed11/11/2022 ![]() ![]() People have paid for something they cannot use. This is not acceptable, it's not like the game was given away for free. I understand the SaaS description, it's a very accurate one but the point is customers have paid for something that is essentially an overpriced server status and countdown application. As pointed out somewhere else, Blizzard have done this with their last few games Stacraft 2 (both) and Diablo 3 and people don't complain (even though at the start there were a few teething issues). Maybe if they launched the game with enough infrastructure to cope, there would be no issue here. Their always on DRM doesn't work, they obviously didn't have enough servers to handle the load even though they would have had sales figures before the game launched. There probably isn't much money in cracking simcity. ![]() ![]() Some games, WOW for example have people spending significant resources on reverse engineering them (although for different reasons) because there is a financial incentive to do it (you can make money selling rare items). Essentially the problem with traditional DRM is that attack is easier than defence, this inverts that relationship. In this case you have to individually reverse engineer every single game out there, so at some point you hit the limit of the rescources that game crackers will spend on cracking. It is certainly much more time consuming than figuring out how to set the "isGameValid" in securom to 1 and breaking every securom game out there. So you end up with a divergence between the real game and the pirate game. You might be able to eventually do a good enough job that makes your server feel quite close to the official server but then every time the game updates you either have to stick with the old way or do all of your analysis again. Not to mention not having your fuzzer detected and being banned/sued. What would be more time consuming is reverse engineering the mathematical models used for simulation on the backend, you're going to need to observe the input->output map over a lot of possible inputs and to do that you probably need a lot of game clients connected which cost a lot of money. Reverse engineering the binaries and network protocols is not going to be so difficult. ![]()

Pokemon star shines bright11/9/2022 ![]() There has been some confusion about the data and what it means, so only time will tell what the true math is behind encountering these Square Shiny Pokémon. Others say that if you choose one method (such as breeding) over another, the Shiny could be destined to be a Square Shiny only. In other words, if you battle one Pokémon over and over, the odds of the type of Shiny Pokémon you encounter becomes 15 in 16 for Square Shinies and 1 in 16 Star Shinies. Some say that the odds of a Shiny being Square or Star are flipped when Pokémon are chained. But it was no use as he was always training his swords play every day. everyone noticed this as they tried to spend more time with him. Chaining Pokémon involves encountering the same Pokémon over and over again in order to increase the likelihood of it being Shiny. But after finding out he was adopted into the family he slowly started to distance himself from them. ![]() ![]() For the first time in 800 years, the 'Christmas Star' or 'Star of Bethlehem' will be visible in the night sky.

Rare 'Christmas Star' to shine brightly for first time in 800 years. ![]()
