Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a globe-trotting journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. Robotnik returns, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations. After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is eager to prove he has what it takes to be a true hero. In the meantime, families can enjoy all the adventure of the second instalment of that little blue hedgehog, and you can enjoy the series of interviews with O’Shaughnessey, Majdoub and Fowler to celebrate the film and its accomplishments.The world's favorite blue hedgehog is back for a next-level adventure in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2. With the success of Sonic 2, the completion of the trilogy seems like an absolute inevitability. Majdoub felt his fellow Canadian was so integral to Robotnik, the role Carrey created made Majdoub revert to his childhood, playing the games on the Sega Genesis, combing both the old and the new into the perfect ‘Eggman’. So I would not ever let him go without a fight”.Ĭarrey’s costar, the latte maestro better known as ‘Agent Stone’, Lee Majdoub also knows there is no Sonic 3 without Carrey. He just means so much to these movies and so much to the fans. Fowler elaborated that he’s fully prepared to call Carrey and “text him every day for the rest of his life to make sure that he's back. So what does the future hold for the franchise? Sonic 3 seems like a certainty, and it looks more than likely that all fan favorite characters will return, but what of Canadian national treasure Jim Carrey and his recent announcement of retiring from acting? When asked how he could possibly imagine replacing Carrey, Fowler simply stated “I wouldn't even try”. So I think kids can absolutely relate to him, for sure, and Tails too, he's everybody's best little buddy.” What kid doesn't want to have super-speed and be able to get around the bases really fast? He's funny, he's quirky, he's really just a big kid himself. “I think kids can relate to because he's like a kid himself. Having seen Tails grow and evolved in different media, but also having witnessed the evolution of Sonic, Colleen recognizes how it’s been popular over these many years. One of the major strengths of the sequel, is not only the returning cast members, such as Ben Schwartz voicing Sonic, but giving those aforementioned fans even more of what they knew and loved with the vocal talents of Colleen O’Shaughnessey, who has voiced ‘ Tails’, Sonic’s right hand Fox for almost a decade now in games and television. Rather than spend any time debating it, let's let's figure out how to how to make a change because fans didn't recognize Sonic as the character they loved, and that was a huge problem” It really was just ‘okay, like, we got this wrong, and we got to fix it’. Fowler, with his animation background brushes it off as if the major character design changes wasn’t a big deal. Yes, one of those concerns is the infamous ‘Ugly Sonic’ a human-hybrid CG creature with just enough human teeth to enter your nightmares. That's the trick”.įowler also addresses some of the concerns coming into the first film that were either laid to rest, or were worked on diligently to make the films better. Are you worried for them? Are you excited for them? Are you rooting for them? And I think if you have that, then that's the secret. Your enjoyment of that film really comes down to into these characters. Fowler recognizes that most video game movies fall short of that because of this strange preconception about what the movie should be about, or how it can attract the gamers who played to sit and watch a cinematic version. it's really about giving the audience a reason to root for Sonic, to be invested in him emotionally, for every step of the journey”. No small feat considering how many video game properties have made their way to the big screen.ĭirector Jeff Fowler, who beforehand predominantly worked in animation and only had one short film under his belt before helming the original Sonic knows just how much work it was, but also seemingly knows the key to Sonic’s success. In fact, the recently released Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which can now be seen at home on Paramount+, is the highest grossing video game adaptation of all time. For the next three decades, Sonic would spawn television shows, a long series of games, and now two feature films under his belt. When a little blue hedgehog debuted in the summer of 1991, it might be a safe assumption that no one knew how big a property he would become. Stars Lee Majdoub, Colleen O’Shaughnessey and director Jeff Fowler reflect on how Sonic 2 became the success story it is, while the film comes to Paramount+

Flip a coin and see if you can make a call between a 19 pickupI don’t care either way, and it has been called both in previous sales and auctions. The post-merger beer lineup will consist of traditional PDBC concepts, a large expansion of sour beers, and all new Bent beers along with their line of spirits including UnPure, an un-aged pure malt whiskey, and an unnamed gin soon to follow. From it’s coppery brown paint to the interior that will offer up the aroma of leather for decades to come, the Dodge truck known as Whiskey Bent is that vehicle. Pour Decisions, known for The Pubstitute Scottish ale, made its debut at the 2012 Minnesota State Fair and opened its taproom doors in early 2013. Bent previously contracted out of Pour Decisions' Roseville brewery and taproom. Kristen England will continue on in the Head Brewer role at Bent to create the beers, while Bartley Blume will distill the spirits. Martini, Whiskey, Holland Gin, Tom Gin, Vermouth, and York.

Simple, effective and affordableĬar stickers are a simple, effective and affordable way to market your business, shop or service. We offer a wide range of vehicle decals for vehicles of all kinds. With a 10 bit display, the colors will almost always look smooth across your screen. As the single color moves from one gradient to another, you can notice “banding” or hard transitions between the gradients. This will be most notable in situations where you have strong gradients of a single color such as a sunset or blue sky. With most monitors displaying content at 8-bit, a 10-bit display is capable of showcasing more than one billion different colors. If you notice any significant changes to how your image looks, your display doesn’t have IPS technology built in.Īdditionally, this monitor is capable of display 10-bit color if you have the right GPU. Lean to the left or the right (or even stand up or duck down). An easy way to see if your current monitor is an IPS display is to sit directly in front of it while looking at one of your images. When viewing a non-IPS display, the saturation and contrast of your image can fluctuate depending on the angle you are viewing the display from. It is an IPS panel, which stands for “In-Plane Switch”, which is a term used to describe a monitor that has great viewing angles (178 degrees to be exact). With the SW271 we have an LCD display that puts out an impressive 4k resolution. If your display isn’t showing you the true colors of your image, regardless if you are using a laptop or desktop, how can you hope to accurately edit your photos? While we will talk a bit about Color Management in the next section of this review, you still need to have the display hardware capable of achieving the level of accuracy we should all be shooting for. Fortunately, the BenQ SW271 excels in this regard! The single most important aspect of any monitor is how accurately it shows both color & contrast. These additional ports only work if you connect your display to your computer via the USB 3.0 cable included in the box or the USB C/Thunderbolt 3 port. Lastly on the back of the monitor, behind the left edge of the display, you will find two full USB 3.0 ports as well as a full SD card slot. That is a pretty big deal as it means that your display gets more screen real-estate while having a smaller footprint. The bezels on the top, left and right of the monitor look to be either 1/3 or maybe even 1/4 of the size of the bezels I have on my larger BenQ 32″ SW320 4k displays sitting on my desk. The display itself is gorgeous, but more importantly in terms of design, they have managed to seriously shrink the bezels from previous BenQ display lines. When you get the BenQ SW271 out of the box and set up on your desk, either by using the included Desktop Stand or by attaching the display to an Ergotron Arm (more on that later), you will notice the new screen design, at least if you have used BenQ displays in the past like I have. Additional Cables: USB type-C cable(1m), mDP to DP cable (1.8m), HDMI 2.0 cable (1.8m), USB 3.1 cable (Gen 1)(1.8m).

In the end, none of these options above are required to run emulation on the Steam Deck. ES-DE will auto-update itself, so if you remove or add ROMs to your folders, it will automatically catch those changes and it will reflect in the app the next time you boot ES-DE. It can be installed independently by downloading the latest AppImage and installing it on your Steam Deck, or it comes bundled within the EmuDeck or RetroDeck environments. The version found on the Steam Deck is known as EmulationStation-DE (Desktop Edition, shortened to ES-DE). RetroDeck is in active development and not yet in a final release state.ĮmulationStation is a frontend that will provide you with a self-contained user interface to browse and launch your favorite retro games. Moreover, the app is available as a FlatPak directly in the Discover app via Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck, making the installation process super easy. This is a great solution if you just want a simple emulation experience that you can access directly from your SteamOS environment. Because it is self-contained, it will behave as a single app with all of its emulators pre-installed and configured. RetroDeck is an all-in-one emulation solution that uses EmulationStation as its main interface. This is an excellent setup if you want to separate your SteamOS PC gaming experience and your retro game emulation. As an example, you could use your Steam Deck primarily for PC games, and when you are ready to do some emulation, you can just add the Batocera SD card, boot into the card, and start playing games. This means you can load Batocera on a microSD card, flash drive, or external hard drive and boot it from there. It is completely self-contained and bootable from a variety of formats. However, if you’d rather have a self-contained solution, check out Batocera or RetroDeck.īatocera is a custom Linux operating system that is focused on game emulation. I’ve seen some concerns about allowing an app to install items on your Steam Deck, but EmuDeck does not require sudo/root access to work, and only installs the same file systems that you would be installing if you installed the emulators manually. It’s not an “app” in the strictest sense, but a collection of clever scripts that take care of all the manual installation and configuration for you. Let’s take a quick look at some of your emulation options on the Steam Deck.ĮmuDeck is a tool that integrates many functions into one: it will download emulators from their official sources, pre-configure your settings and hotkeys, and work together with EmulationStation and the Steam ROM Manager. Updating EmuDeck and emulators CryoUtilities Table of ContentsĮmuDeck vs Batocera vs RetroDeck vs EmulationStation If you are looking for a general setup guide for the Steam Deck itself, I recommend this comprehensive Steam Deck guide from GitHub user mikeroyal. This guide will primarily use an app called EmuDeck to set up your emulation experience, but I will also touch on other solutions like RetroDeck and Batocera. In this guide I’ll show you how to play your favorite retro (and modern) game systems via software emulation. Valve’s Steam Deck is the perfect storm of handhelds: it has an exceptional price-to-performance ratio, a large game library thanks to its Steam integration, and it is becoming more readily available every month.

The students& amp amp amp amp amp #39 self-evaluations of the voice changes appeared in some cases to contradict the VRP findings. Pre/post comparison of the average VRPs showed, in the midrange, (1) a decrease in the VRP area that was associated with the loud chest voice, (2) a reduction of the crest factor values, and (3) a reduction of maximum sound pressure level values. Findings were compared with the self-assessed vocal changes. Also, a mapping within the VRP of voice quality, as expressed by the crest factor, was used to indicate the register boundaries and to monitor the acoustical consequences of the newly learned vocal technique of & amp amp amp amp amp quot mixed voice.& amp amp amp amp amp quot VRPs were averaged across subjects. The VRP perimeter contour was analyzed for effects of voice training. Based on the responses, a subgroup of 10 classically trained female voices was selected, which was homogeneous enough for effects of training to be identified. A questionnaire that included questions on optimal range, register use, classification, vocal health and hygiene, mixing technique, and training goals was used to rate and categorize self-assessed voice changes. Pretraining and posttraining recordings were made of students who participated in a 3-year bachelor singing study program. Phonetograms were suggested to be useful for visual feedback and documentation of changes in voice therapy for M-F TS clients.Ī longitudinal study was performed on the acoustical effects of singing voice training under a given study program, using the voice range profile (VRP). Instrumental and subjective data suggested that the use of low speech intensities and avoidance of vocal fry could help contribute to a successful female voice. Phonetogram speech-range data fell between male and female data.The importance of speaking fundamental frequency (SFF) in perception of gender was confirmed. The speech sound pressure level (SPL) was higher than the female norms. The aerodynamic data agreed with normative male high-pitch data. No data indicated hyperfunctional vocal behavior. Perceptual ratings of strain and breathiness were low. Background data did not account for female voice success. Fundamental frequency (F0) accounted for 41–49% of variation in gender ratings for the group, but individual exceptions were found. M-F TS data were compared with male and female normative data.Agreement between naive and voice-expert listeners as well as intra- and interlistener reliability was good. Relationships among acoustical and aerodynamic measurements, background data, self-evaluations, and auditory perceptual ratings were examined. All recordings were made in typical- and loud-voice conditions. Transglottal air pressure and airflow were estimated from oral recordings. The aim was to examine the usefulness of phonetograms and aerodynamic measures for voice assessment of this client group.Descriptive and correlational.Phonetogram speech-range profiles (SRPs) were recorded for the M-F TS participants' attempted female voice. This exploratory study reports instrumental and subjective data for 25 male-to-female transsexual (M-F TS) individuals using their attempted female voice. |
