A Bomb has a counter displaying on top of it that decreases it's number every time a match is made. Rocks cannot be matched and must be destroyed with a Power Gem or a Hyper Cube. When 5 gems or more are lined up in a row, a Hyper Cube is created, that can destroy all the gems of it's color present on the board when swapped.Įxclusive to the Puzzle, Cognito and Finity modes of the game are Rocks and Bombs. Power Gem detonations can trigger the effects of nearby Power Gems as well, and can destroy Hyper Cubes without triggering it's effects. When 4 gems are lined up in a row or when gems are lined up in a L, T or + shape, a Power Gem is created, which destroys the 9 gems that surround it when matched. When more than 3 gems are matched at once, the matched gems will merge to create a special gem that can destroy multiple gems at once. One of the major additions to Bejeweled 2 is the introduction of Special Gems. When a group of gems are cleared, more gems fall from above, which can produce cascades as they create matches of their own, earning extra points. At the end of the day though, he's achieved more through playing Bejeweled 2 than we have through pouring derision upon him and his ilk via the Internet.As with the original Bejeweled, the game is focused on arranging gems into lines of 3 or more to clear them from the board. It's not like Mike Leyde is a New York fireman or a scientist making lifesaving medical breakthroughs. It might not be considered a "real" accomplishment to beat Bejeweled 2. ![]() It's certainly easier to mock the accomplishment rather than try and beat it. It's sure easy to scratch one's head or laugh at people who achieve astronomical high scores and fight their way to the top of a worldwide leaderboard. ![]() I just made fun of Little Gray's sex life for raiding 405 WoW dungeons, but am I any better? Are any of you? Maybe we are, maybe we're not. Purely an introspective victory, for the best these characters face from their fellow gamers is derision for being "sad" enough to pump so many wasted hours into a game, seemingly at the expense of a social life.īut then, when we're all technically wasting our time with videogames in the first place, does it matter if we quibble over degrees? Is it less sad for us to pour days of our lives into Halo or Call of Duty? How about beating Super Mario World for the dozenth time, even though it always ends the same way? Then there are the months we could theoretically spend on the latest Final Fantasy, or collecting over 450 Pokémon. They dedicate their lives to these games, seemingly for no other reason than to know they are the champions. There are record breakers for all the arcade classics, be it Qbert or Paperboy. Legends like Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, who have earned their fame for reaching the end of Donkey Kong and battling each other to the bitter end and vying for the position of the world's greatest Kong player. In order to beat it, Little Gray killed 390,895 creatures, dealt 7,255,538,878 points of damage, completed 5,906 quests, raided 405 dungeons and hugged 11 players. A few months ago, Taiwanese World of Warcraft player "Little Gray" made headlines by "beating" Blizzard's popular MMO, collecting 986 Achievements to officially beat WoW before the next expansion. Leyde isn't the only man to sacrifice hours of his life in order to accomplish in-game feats that would make weaker men tremble. It's an achievement, certainly, but we do have to wonder where you draw a line between impressive and worrying. His family celebrated when the game's score blanked out, although it could have simply been because it might mean he'd finally put the damn thing down. To put it in perspective, it would take eight hours a day, five days a week in order to beat it in a year. ![]() It took Mike 2,200 hours stretched over three years to achieve this momentous milestone. Well, the game’s code wasn’t designed to display a negative number so it just showed a blank where the score should be!" "When Mike collected that next gem match, the additional 2,200 points would have put his score above the maximum ‘calculable’ score, and much like some of the original arcade games, it caused his score to ‘flip around’ to a negative number. ![]() "We had to give the game some sort of maximum displayable score, and figured that was high enough, no one would ever get that many points," admits the game's co-creator and PopCap chief technology officer Brian Fiete. That means you can now read entire messages and notifications without having to follow side-scrolling text. The screen is actually 30% larger than the screen on the Charge 2.

But things need to get a little bit smarter still to manage the two possible versions of prefixes that are required. I did some groundlaying work to include 64-bit support into WineBottlers app-building, already: You can easily select the correct operating-system / architecture combination. Further, the builds do include Mono (which was already bi-arch) and both architectures of Gecko. Even 16-bit programs still work with the current setup. They feature the 32-bit and the 64-bit Wine. 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bitīack to today: The new builds of Wine.app for WineBottler are based on Wine 4.0.1 and come as shared WoW64 builds. They were still built on OS X 10.6.8 and had a spectacular range of OS versions supported :D). Possibly not as far as the now really outdated WineBottler 2.0 or WineBottler 1-8 did. (Let me know if you still need to run WineBottler on older versions of macOS, it might be possible to move one or two incarnations back. The new builds will only run on machines with High Sierra or newer. As the already heavy bending of environment variables to build self-contained versions of Wine got to an all-new level with multiple versions of XCode installed :).īut moving up to High Sierra has its price. ![]() ![]() I was able to install the command line tools of XCode 9.4.1 on it, but in the end, I opted for a clean solution. As Clang 32-bit is already removed in macOS Mojave. That is the last combination where I can compile both architectures of Wine in one run. I therefore rebased my build-environment on macOS High Sierra and XCode 9.4.1. With 64-bit only macOS Catalina around the corner and therefore the imminent loss of 32-bit, I had to sort out my toolchain where Wine is still playing a major role. ![]() Uncover secrets, stumble upon side-quests and encounter a raft of eccentric characters.

However, there are some that are used over and over again not only in many different pieces but also in the same piece! If you look at the image above, I have listed just a few examples of songs that are very popular that use this common 4-chord pattern. There are many many different chord progressions that we end up learning throughout our piano learning. Chord progressions are simply groups of chords put together in a specific way to create a specific type of sound. The connection that these chords have with each other is called a Progression. We can hear how certain chords create a sound of "beginning and ending" when played together and even when there is an ending missing as we're left with a feeling of "hanging in the air" instead of "landing back on the ground". We just somehow intuitively process the sounds to make sense. Click here for more info.We hear chords in piano music all of the time without really thinking in detail about how they sound and connect with each other. If you want to know more piano information, check our weekly blog, or learn how to play piano with us in our piano classes. Always remember that in piano, no two notes have the same sound while on the guitar, you can play a chord using different strings.Īnd when you learn these things, it’s much easier to be able to musically match the piano to your guitar. Meanwhile, you should know what the string combinations to play music on the guitar are. You also need to know what the groups of notes are to achieve a specific chord on the piano. Click on the link to learn more about guitar fretboards. But, basic knowledge on how to read it can make it easier for you to match piano chords. On the other hand, the guitar fretboard is an artistic tool that beginners think of as complicated. Why? Because the patterns used on the piano are the same patterns that are used on the musical alphabet. Learning how piano notes and guitar frets work together can help you match up chords between the two instruments. Know How To Read Piano Notes And Guitar Fretboards To help you know more about this topic, you can read some books and websites about it. But of course, that’s not just what covered in Music Theory. Musical theory is understood by people all over the world and is used to play virtually all instruments. And the 12 unique notes are A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#. First, the music scale is Do-Re-Mi, or in Alphabet Scale notation from A to G. You need to have an idea of the music alphabet/scale as well as the 12 different notes in music. You Need To Understand Basic Music Theory We’re not going to give out too much detail on this one in the hopes of making it a separate post. But for you to be able to match piano and guitar chords, here is some information you should know. And that’s basically true – mainly because once you learn music and music theory on one instrument, it’s much easier to learn another instrument. Many musicians say that once you know how to play the piano, you’d know how to play the guitar and vice versa. To summarize the answer, yes, piano chords and guitar chords are the same, but they are played differently to achieve the same result. ![]() Lastly, you can play a number of multi-chords in the piano – a feat not available on a guitar. This is because the color of the tone differs from instrument to instrument. The difference is in the position of how you play them.Īnother thing to know is that you can’t just transfer the same chords from the guitar to the piano and vice versa. It’s not about the specific notes to play, because both can be the same with the piano and guitar. ![]() Just because both have chords – which are technically similar – you can’t use them to achieve the same sound just like that. So we can use the same chords for both instruments, then? Well, here’s where the confusion begins. Are Piano Chords And Guitar Chords The Same?ĭo both piano and guitar need chords? Yes. In this post, we are going to dissect both instruments’ chords and see where they are different and where they are similar. But the question is, are piano chords and guitar chords the same? If you play the chords of the piano, can you use the same chords on a guitar? Of course, notes make the flow of any piece or song, but without the chords, it’s like a river running but not on its bed. In playing specific instruments, it’s essential to learn how to play the chords. A lack of story development and chemistry between the two actors leaves much to be desired, although Jones and Rizwan do their best with what they’re given. In her case, it’s with her colleague, Rory (Nabhaan Rizwan). In the present day, Ellie is given a love story of her own to parallel that of Jennifer and Boot. Through Ellie’s journalistic prowess, she is able to track down Jennifer and Boot and solve the lovelorn mystery. Boot, meet, fall in love, and ultimately, how one is left at Marylebone train station heartbroken. As Ellie uncovers each letter, we see how Jennifer and Anthony, a.k.a. The love letters are, of course, between Jennifer and a suitor, Anthony O’Hare (Callum Turner). Ellie is compelled to learn what happened to the couple after reading the last of the letters, much like the audiences of the aforementioned Nicholas Sparks/Jojo Moyes-type films wanting to know what happens after the screen fades to black. Reading letter after letter, Ellie puts together a story of forbidden romance between a woman in a loveless marriage and a divorced single father recognizing true love. Her husband’s (Joe Alwyn) cold attitude toward her indicates that the Stirlings are perhaps a marriage of convenience rather than love.Įllie and Jennifer’s timelines become intertwined when Ellie discovers a set of old letters between two lovers engaged in an affair. Back in the ‘60s, Jennifer Stirling ( Shailene Woodley)-an American married to a Brit-has just suffered an accident causing memory loss. ![]() Ellie Haworth ( Felicity Jones) is a journalist introduced to us after a one-night stand, next to a man whose name she doesn’t know, with the requisite morning after smudged eyeliner to inform us that she is an unlucky in love 30-something. In The Last Letter from Your Lover we alternate between the 1960s and present-day London where two young women are navigating love in their respective eras. The latest of the genre is The Last Letter from Your Lover, an adaptation of Moyes’ novel of the same name, directed by Augustine Frizzell. These stories are ripe for cinematic interpretation and the movie adaptations have achieved varying levels of success so far. People who love the rush of seeing the main characters unite (ideally in the middle of the street while it’s raining) or revel in the heartbreak of two star-crossed lovers thwarted by a cosmic misstep. Not to mention the devoted followings to these and other similar novels. ![]() They play with your emotions and know exactly which heart strings to tug at. There’s something almost manipulative about Jojo Moyes (and Nicholas Sparks) novels. ![]() Of course, we all know how Spider-Man 3 turned out. That's why, when Spider-Man 3 (and this is back when Tobey Maguire was still Spider-Man) announced that Venom would be (what I assumed to be) the main villain of the film, the little kid in me was chomping at the bit. And, really, if I'm being honest, I liked Venom more than Spider-Man. Of course, I'd have to say that it trailed behind the Terminator, X-Men, Batman, TMNT, and Power Rangers of the world. It should be noted that, out of everything that I loved as a child, Spider-Man was one of those. At the end, Peter doesn't notice Aunt May standing behind him as he removes his mask and she yells "What the f-" before we cut to credits. They seem to nail the cliffhanger endings in these latest Spider-Man films as well. That "flashback' scene where you see the epic airport battle through Peter's camera is such a great tie-in. Sony was SOOOOO smart making a deal with Marvel. The soundtrack is also a banger - ever since Guardians of the Galaxy, they seem to have learned that adding great tunes elevates a movie. Gruff and no-bullshit, that scene where he realizes Peter Parker is Spider-Man in the car while driving him with his daughter to Homecoming is just so intense and priceless. Michael Keaton stands out as a great villain. Who would've thought that Jon Favreau after helping kickstart the MCU would bring such levity as a side character. And his interchanges with Happy are fabulous. Holland just embodies the giddiness of a teenager who is torn between doing good things, playing with his powers, and those hard crushes you get at that age. Apparently it was an epic audition session between RDJ and Holland and you could see that chemistry between them when Peter Parker is first introduced in Captain America Civil War. It's not clear who really cast Tom Holland - Kevin Feige/Amy Pascal, the Russo Brothers and possibly even Robert Downey Jr. View the collection: Marvel Cinematic Universe Rating: PG-13 (Sci-Fi Action Violence|Brief Suggestive Comments|Some Language) Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear. ![]() He also tries to return to his normal daily routine - distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just a friendly neighborhood superhero. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark, Parker starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider-Man. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker returns home to live with his Aunt May. |
