Titan quest ragnarok editor3/19/2023 Your options when you first create your hero are quite limited-you can name your character, choose his or her gender, as well as the default color of his or her tunic, and then you're off to the titan-ravaged Greek countryside. In an against-all-odds fight, you'll take on the role of a hero determined to stop these ravenous gods. Titan Quest opens up with these none-too-happy deities being freed from their prison, and they immediately use their great powers to wreak havoc on the mortal men that worship the Olympians. Those familiar with their Greek mythology will know that Zeus and the rest of the Olympians achieved their status within the world of gods by going to war with, defeating, and eventually imprisoning their forebears, a group of powerful elder gods known as the titans. The Titans break free from their prison to wreak havoc on ancient Greece. It's certainly well-made enough to please those who prefer more action and less plot in their RPGs, and there are dozens and dozens of hours of gameplay to get lost in here, but it's hard to shake the feeling that you've already seen most of what Titan Quest has to offer. Though it trades a pure high-fantasy feel for a mythical take on the ancient worlds of Greece, Egypt, and Asia, Titan Quest is so similar to Blizzard's seminal hack-and-slash role-playing game series that it's essentially a warts-and-all homage. Online Multiplayer Gameplay - Challenge others to experience your map creations in fast-action, 2-6 player online cooperative gameplayĬreate Your Own Worlds - Create your own maps with the easy-to-use World Editor for endless adventuringIt is apparent that the developers at Iron Lore, makers of Titan Quest, have played more than their fair share of the Diablo games. Highly Customizable Characters - Build and customize your characters with 28 classes and over 1000 pieces of unique and legendary items to create the ultimate champion Players will interpret the prophecies of the blind seer Tiresias, fight alongside Agamemnon and Achilles, and use the wiles of Odysseus to conquer this dark new adventure.Įxplore the Ancient World - Unlock arcane mysteries and battle the beasts of mythology as you journey to the Parthenon, Great Pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, The Great Wall and other legendary locationsĪtmospheric Graphics - Take a hero's journey through authentic Ancient World settings crafted in stunning, realistic, 3D detailĬonquer Monsters of Legend - Battle horrific monsters and mythical beasts in a story-driven campaign that will determine the fate of all existence In this epic quest of good versus evil, players will encounter the greatest villains of Greek mythology, brave the attacks of Cerberus, and hazard the banks of the River Styx. The gods seek a hero who can turn the tide in an epic struggle that will determine the fate of both men and gods. The Titans have escaped their eternal prison, wreaking havoc upon the earth. This Anniversary Edition combines both Titan Quest and Titan Quest Immortal Throne in one game, and has been given a massive overhaul for the ultimate ARPG experience.ĭiscover the Courage that Turns Heroes Into Legendsįrom Age of Empires co-creator Brian Sullivan and Braveheart writer Randall Wallace comes an innovative, all-new action role playing game set in ancient Greece, Egypt and Asia.

Pianoteq 5 vs3/19/2023 ![]() especially since you get more than one piano. ![]() It all depends on what you want to get along with the base product.Ĭomparing to price of some piano sample libraries, Pianoteq can be considered cheap. So, you cannot really say that $500+ is the actual price of Pianoteq, because it's not. And you can also upgrade between versions, effectively making it a split payment to get to the version you really want, over time. And Standard version opens Pro version presets (which Stage version cannot). Despite the fact that I actually use Pianoteq some of the time, I also dont quite get the 'its more playable'. Also none of Pianoteq versions sacrifice anything in terms of sound - only editability (but this can really be considered only for Stage version, which is not intended for tweakers, but players. There was a very old thread in the past where I recorded the Chopin Prelude in Em with various VST-s and I also posted the MIDI file for people to compare.You don't need Pianoteq Pro to get the most from it (nor do you need to feel obliged to purchase ALL models ALL AT ONCE), Standard is enough for most of people, it's not too limited (it adds microphone positioning, which IS very important, in fact). I didn't have time to look for it again and I prefer always playing the pianos live to have the aural feedback than use a MIDI file, so created a quick comparison today with N1X vs Garritan CFX Full and Pianoteq 6.5 (released yesterday).

What would be cool would be an acoustic recording of the same by your hand. 3 PIANOTEQ PRO offers an internal sample rate of up to 192 kHz. Interesting, although I think that the Pianoteq needs more bass in the EQ or maybe just the mids seem too loud. Presets built with PIANOTEQ PRO can be loaded in PIANOTEQ Standard without limitation.

Night book by elie wiesel3/19/2023 ![]() At 109 pages, the narrative is slim, but it is powerful.Wiesel vividly depicts the dehumanization of concentration camp inmates. The narrative spans the years 1941-45 and recounts the atrocities committed against the European Jews by Hitler's regime. The author bio at the end of the book informs us that the Hungarian-born Wiesel was deported to Auschwitz and Buchenwald and eventually received the Nobel Peace Prize."Night" is a first-person account of surviving the Nazi Holocaust. The copyright page notes that the book was originally published in French in 1958. "Night," by Elie Wiesel, has been translated from French by Stella Rodway. For only in remembering will we insist, "Never again!" Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction, Spiritual Friends: A Methodology of Soul Care And Spiritual Direction, and Soul Physicians. The inner depths and black darkness of "Night" call us not to squeamish forgetting but to stark remembering. Fortunately Wiesel's candor leads to hope-the confidence that behind the evils in this life there resides a good God working out plans in a mysterious, yet glorious, way. Instead, it grapples candidly with the confusion that life can and does bring. Wiesel discovered that, "God is there in the suffering." His explanation is anything but trite. Don't read "Night" only if you have a queasy stomach or the need to think that this life is a bed of roses. Read "Night" if you are going through your own "dark night of the soul" and want to find an answer to the perennial question, "Where is God?" Read "Night" if you think deeply about life and how it often falls on us and crushes us. Read it to find meaning in a seeming meaningless life. Strongly recommended.Įlie Wiesel's narrative of his own one-year experience spent in a concentration camp has appropriately become a classic in the field. Like Art Spiegelman's "Maus" series, William Styron's "Sophie's Choice", Thomas Keneally's "Schindler's List" and of course, the most heartbreaking, Anne Frank's diary, Wiesel's work lends yet another piercing look into the unanticipated breaches of the human soul during one of history's most dire times. Compressed from a much larger memoir Wiesel wrote in Yiddish, the book represents a powerfully affecting treatment that edits the key moments of his existence to their essence. With his two older sisters, Wiesel was able to survive the camps and share his devastating story with future generations. ![]() As we consider the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the Dili and Liquica Church massacres in East Timor, the 1994 Rwandan genocide (dramatized in the superb film, 2004's "Hotel Rwanda"), or most pertinently, the detention camps that exist today in North Korea, it is obvious that the Third Reich did not have a monopoly on justifying such slaughter. The propagation of evil from forces unexpected is what makes Wiesel's book resonate today. It's a stark peek into the nature of evil that is at once uncomfortable to acknowledge and invaluable to read and absorb. He not only records the brutality and inhumanity of the Nazi guards toward the Jews, as other have, but more tellingly, describes the inhumanity of the camp inmates toward each other for the sake of survival. Inevitably, they are taken to Auschwitz and Buchenwald, two of the most infamous concentration camps, where Wiesel provides painfully palpable detail of the day-to-day living conditions. In a concise, unadorned manner, he relives the spiraling insanity that surrounded the Jewish population of Sighet, Transylvania, as insulated a world as one could imagine and certainly a community who understandably could not embrace the insanity of the extermination occurring around them. In a world that often feels like it is teetering toward relenting madness, Elie Wiesel's vividly haunting 1960 memoir still reminds us that there was a precedent for the deranged mindset that justifies acts of terrorism. |
