![]() McQueen just appears as the best racer in the third movie, without the film ever addressing how this could have happened in the 11 years since Cars. Cars 3 doesn’t either, really, but it does focus on McQueen getting older, and it highlights the many accolades he’s collected over the past decade. It had been five years since we last saw McQueen in Cars in that time, he had grown into one of the most respected racers in the world. Although McQueen famously lost the first race because of bad advice Mater gave him - which led to their big fight and the main obstacle to overcome in the film - he was a four-time Piston Cup winner by that point. The “mini documentary” is only a couple of minutes long, but at no time does it mention the World Grand Prix race in Tokyo from Cars 2. ![]() The focus jumps immediately from Cars to Cars 3. He’s everything McQueen hates, and that’s hinted at in the 30 for 30 video. Hey In This Video, I Play With Chick Hicks, By Myself, On Cars 2: The Video Game If You Want Me To Play A Different Game, Or Want Me To Do A Race With A Pa. Storm is the newest racer to challenge McQueen on the track he’s faster, more technologically advanced and a punk. The Cars 3 version is all about Lightning McQueen: the struggles he had as a rookie racer in 2006 (the year the first movie came out), his slow build to being one of the best racers in the world, and his upcoming rivalry with Jackson Storm. To make that point even more painstakingly clear, Pixar released a new video yesterday in the style of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, which takes a look at a specific athlete or sporting event in great detail. “It’s time to pour one out for Cars 2, the movie that Pixar wished never was” Pixar is clearly trying to clean its slate and return the Cars franchise to its previous glory. Cars 3 doesn’t need Cars 2 to survive unlike with most franchises, as long as people have only seen the first Cars, they can head into the third without missing a beat. The intent is obvious: Pixar would like its audience to forget that Cars 2 even exists. A relationship, it should be added, that is core to the Cars 3 story. When Mater is introduced in Cars 3, he seems a little more mature, but there’s no hint at the second installment in the Cars franchise that led to this moment, or the heroic act he performed that changed his relationship with McQueen forever. Cars 3 picks up basically where Cars ended, with no mention of the experiences that McQueen, his best friend Mater and the rest of the Radiator Springs crew shared when they left America and traveled to Japan and Europe. Disney Pixar Cars 2 3 Lightning McQueen Mater Chick Hicks 1:55. As bad as it was, it seemed unlikely that Cars 3 wouldn’t at least reference its predecessor.Įxcept that’s exactly what happened. Pixar Cars Mack Lightning McQueen & Chick Hicks & King & Fabulous Hudson Truck. When Cars 2 was released, critics called it a fairly disastrous sequel and said that it was time for the franchise to “ be taken out to the scrapyard.” There were a number of issues with the second movie - it wasn’t a racing film anymore, per se, but a story of espionage, and it didn’t focus on Lightning McQueen - but it was still a Pixar joint. So bad, in fact, that even Pixar has trouble remembering it. Montgomery " Lightning" McQueen often referred to as " Lightning McQueen" (voiced by Owen Wilson in the films, Mater and the Ghostlight, the Cars video game and the last episode of Cars Toons: Tales from Radiator Springs, Keith Ferguson in all other media, Ben Rausch in Cars 3: Driven to Win) is not modeled directly after a specific make and model, although his design contains some elements inspired by the Chevrolet Corvette C6, Dodge Viper (ZB I), and Gen 4 NASCAR stock cars 2006.Cars 2 is widely regarded as one of the worst movies to ever come out of Pixar’s studio. ![]() Though much of Lightning Mcqueen's design is unique, loose design cues were taken from the Chevrolet Corvette C6, Dodge Viper ZB I, and fourth-generation NASCAR

![]() She is also shown to be clearly oblivious in regards to certain things, such as Hijikata Toshizou is a Berserker, or that the Shinsengumi are famous enough to be quickly identified. During her lifetime, since she had nearly no relationships in regards to love affairs, she is poor at exchanging conversations in that area. Although she is essentially a cool-headed manslayer, towards those who pardoned that mentality, Okita borders on being openly friendly as if they were members of the same organization. ![]() Okita has both the facet of a cool-headed manslayer, as well as a cheerful side that is fond of children. In order to conceal her original costume, which is simply too conspicuous, Okita normally uses this outfit, wearing a Taisho-style Kimono that consists of a Hakama and long leather boots. A girl in her mid-teens, who wraps her body in fashionable Japanese clothing. Okita Souji is a female in history and she looks similar to King Arthur. " However, it would have been nice if I had the character "sincerity" together with me up to my final moments." " Engulfed in a warm light that narrowly lies ahead, I did not want to do something like looking up at the skies." " Even if a meaningless death lies ahead in the end, I wanted it to be that way." " We swore oaths on our swords together, we raced through the times together, and we did battle together." ![]() It is said that she died without knowing of Kondo's death, who was decapitated two months prior to her death. Īfterwards, Okita continued her life of recuperation while separated from her comrades, but in the fourth year of the Keio era, she died at the place where she was medically treated in Edo's Sendagaya area. Before long, she withdrew from the frontlines for medical treatment. However, Okita's body was adversely affected by an illness around that time, and her physical condition gradually deteroriated. ĭemonstrating their sword abilities in many conflicts like the Ikedaya Incident and so forth, the name of the Shinsengumi roared throughout Kyoto of the Bakumatsu era. After the break up of the Roshigumi, Kondo formed the Shinsengumi together with Hijikata, and Okita was entrusted with the position of captain of the first unit. Kondo formed the Roshigumi on behalf of being bodyguards for the Shogun in the third year of the Bunkyuu era, and Okita went to the Imperial Capital to participate in the group together with Hijikata. She was skillful enough to serve as the head coach of the Shieikan at a young age, and there was no person who was superior to her regarding the talent with the sword. History ĭuring her childhood, while she was still an apprentice at the Shieikan, the dojo of the Tennen Rishin-ryuu in Edo's Ichigaya area, Okita Souji met Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isami, core figures of the Shinsengumi in the future. ![]() Even among the Shinsengumi, which was feared as a band of master swordsmen, the one admired as the strongest genius swordsman was Okita. Okita Souji was the captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi, a public order organization that was mostly active in the Kyoto of the Edo period's closing days.
![]() Older uprights usually have them, and modern ones. ![]() If you use thick music books, then a pair of book holders can be fitted to most small pianos. Another fine small upright found in the UK that we like very much is by Fazer, made in Finland from about 1975 to 1990. Some of these can be quite worn, so much advice is needed before purchasing. Small modern upright pianos date from about 1960 to the present day and the best period of manufacture was from about 1965 to about 1990. Recent examples of this are the Yamaha E108 and LU101 and B1 which in our opinion don’t have a pleasing tone. ![]() This is because most of the far eastern small uprights are scaled down copies of the taller ones, and often produce an uneven and brash thin tone. As a rule, these English pianos were far better made than the equivalent new ones from the Far East. The most common good ones are by Knight and Welmar with some of the small uprights made by Kemble, Rogers, Broadwood and Chappell also being well made. With much competition, high skill levels and great demand, the quality of the best ones was extremely high. These are generally far better made than the same size piano made today, as from about 1920 to 1985 (uprights from about 1960 to 1985) many British firms specialised in making small pianos. In the UK there are still many fine small upright pianos made by English firms from about 1960 to 1990. I know I sound like another heckling reviewer but ah well, I think what happened to SH3 is that it was rushed and graphics were upheld over actual gameplay and quality. Some of the maps that came with the game actually seem rushed or unfinished. There’s a map editor separate from the game that I tinkered with, which was alright. There were some extra castle wall structures as well. I like how hovels places closer to the keep become bigger and have more capacity, it made for good town building. Summary: Stronghold 3: Gold Edition features all the extra content and tweaks added to Stronghold 3 since release. The only enjoyment I got from SH3 was in freebuild mode. You spend the whole game going from map to map, attack this, defend this, move on. All the animated cutscenes from games past that gave them character were replaced by drawings and one voice actor, the player. But after several missions I lost interest. I was into the storyline at first, it follows the progeny of the characters in the original game, like the 3 sons of the rat or whatever, and the wolf is back somehow. Kingmaker, that whole “conquest” thing that came with SH2 deluxe, are missing. In terms of gamemodes, there’s the typical civil campaign and war campaign, free build, castle sieges, and custom maps. Estates are still there, but you can’t choose what resources you cart from them, and you don’t even know, so the point is lost. ![]() It left out every new unit from SH2 except for armed peasants, outlaws, and added “rangers”, which are essentially archers with good melee. They took out a lot of the mechanics that made SH2 fun but kept the honor system and other things, and there’s a weird mechanic where torturing peasants gives them a buff as units or something, I never quite grasped it. ![]() Don’t expect your archers to shoot at anyone if you don’t select them to target an individual unit yourself. ![]() It’s full of bugs, even more so than SH2, especially with troop movement / AI. Despite this, the game sacrificed gameplay to attain better graphics. The graphics are the best out of a stronghold game, but otherwise mediocre. As someone who has played the original Stronghold and SH2 and enjoyed them both, it’s a broken, unfinished game. I got the stronghold 3 “gold edition” in 2016ish. ![]() (That’s kind of important in a rhythm-based game.) The Guitar Hero World Tour customer support center offers some helpful solutions such as, “Hit the drum set harder or softer,” and “Make sure that the drum set is powered on and bound to the console. The most commonly reported problem is with the drum set: the plastic instrument has been sacked with sensitivity issues and the inability to read beats. According to official Guitar Hero message boards, more than a handful of players have experienced problems with the packaged instruments, and Activision, the game’s publisher, has stepped in for damage control. This weekend’s release of Guitar Hero World Tour drew a lot of excitement from the gamer crowd - and a lot of complaints. Peabody & Sherman, I’ve enjoyed seeing my sons try to think through the time travel paradoxes that show up in various ways in film. From The Terminator to Back to the Future to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to the 2009 J.J. Watching this movie led our family to have a “ time travel in movies” discussion. There is even a copycat of the classic scene where Bill and Ted quickly go back in time to put keys in a certain location outside the police station for present-day Bill and Ted to steal. The story arc about someone from the future coming back to warn present-day self to do something to change the future is straight out of Bill & Ted. My sons have seen the entire Back to the Future trilogy numerous times, and even they were seeing the parallels while Mordecai and Rigby were back in their high schools watching younger versions of themselves getting picked on. There are numerous pop culture references (such as a replica scene of the “ Ferris Bueller needs to beat his parents home from work” scene complete with the music) which are clever, but the crux of the story is basically a rip off of a combination of Back to the Future (there are elements of both the first and second films) and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, two of my favorite time travel movie franchises. My 12- and 10-year-old sons, our household’s true Regular Show fans, enjoyed watching the movie, but I was turning colors the whole time trying to wrap my head around the plot. ![]() In the meantime, here’s the official trailer: You’ll have to watch the film to see if the gang’s clever (albeit trite) time travel tricks will help save the world. The gang’s high school volleyball coach was attempting to use the Timenado to destroy Rigby as part of a grand revenge scheme.ĭid that make sense? Probably not. The story starts a few years in the future with the gang (Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, Benson, Muscle Man, Skips, and Hi-Five Ghost) trying to go back into time to the “present” (which you can assume is 2015).Ī ship crashes and the future gang tells the present gang that they have to travel further back to convince high school versions of Mordecai and Rigby to not create the Timenado that in the future is on the verge of destroying the world. The Timenado returns for Regular Show: The Movie, and this time viewers will learn the Timenado’s back story. Will Cartoon Network make any money doing this? Will kids beg their parents to make the small investment so they can watch this movie in September…before their friends do in November?Īnd how will viewership of the network television premiere be impacted if their true fans perhaps saw the movie already via download or DVD? Perhaps Cartoon Network is trying to tap into the “ binge watching“/” I want it NOW” generation of television fans. True Regular Show fans will remember a Season 5 (2013) episode, titled “ A Skips in Time” about the gang traveling through a time-traveling tornado (known as a “Timenado”) to meet Skips (Mark Hamill) as a much-younger version of himself, named Walks. Quintel) and Rigby the raccoon (William Salyers) in an elaborate time travel story. ![]() ![]() Regular Show: The Movie, is a 70-minute film featuring Mordecai the blue jay (J. Our family had the chance to watch a preview of the movie, which will be available online starting September 1st. ![]() Next week Turner Entertainment and Cartoon Network will be doing something unprecedented: it will release a full-length feature film for digital download ahead of a DVD release…and even further ahead of the film playing on Cartoon Network itself. ![]()

The thesis of the God’s Not Dead series is that Christians and Christianity are under attack in America, and that the way to fight back is through exercising First Amendment rights, mostly in educational settings. (This is where I state my bona fides: I’m a lifelong Christian who was raised in a conservative evangelical home, and I’ve been writing about these movies since I was the chief film critic at Christianity Today, the evangelical magazine started by Billy Graham.) Most people outside the series’ target bubble notice its outsize, navel-gazing persecution complex right off the bat. The problem isn’t really the production value (which is mostly fine), or even the statement in the title, a contradiction of a willful misreading of Nietzsche that’s so generic and bland that few people would find it offensive.īut the movies are offensive, and not only to those who aren’t in their target audience. God’s Not Dead has never been warmly welcomed by mainstream critics. God’s Not Dead: A Light in the Darkness continues the series’ fixation on persecution Samantha Boscarino, Jennifer Cipolla, and Shwayze in God’s Not Dead: A Light in the Darkness. But in the end, this God’s Not Dead installment is just like the others: putting on a pious face but failing to imagine what real sacrifice might look like. In this moment and a few others, it seems like A Light in the Darkness is about to reevaluate the God’s Not Dead series’ own narrative about Christians in America, one that’s been far more interested in bolstering a certain sort of persecution complex than in encouraging its audience toward Christlike behavior. ![]() I could build a church with all the bricks that have been thrown through my windows.” “Brother, who do you think you’re talking to?” he says to Dave.

Since I am driving a big giant bus I don’t have enough time to stop to avoid hitting them and get hit with a $20,000 fine. For example, I would be driving down a city street and then all of a sudden a passenger would walk out in the street right in front of my bus. for some of these behaviors is not great and can result in a less than ideal experience. Just as if you were driving a bus in real life, you need to watch for traffic, try and obey the traffic signals, watch out for pedestrians, use your turn signal when you can, and more. As you progress through your career the missions get a tad more complicated as you need to add more areas and juggle buying more buses to assign to all of the routes that you are creating.Īs you are driving your routes and trying to get your passengers safely to their destination you have to deal with a number of different things. The missions in the game tend to be something like leveling up a certain area or connecting two specific districts or making sure that you create a balanced route going from point A to point D (a route requires a minimum of four stops). You do this by creating new routes, buying buses, advertising for local businesses on the side of your buses and, of course, actually driving the buses on these routes. You are trying to build up your bus empire and connect the whole city to your travel network.
