The game was accompanied by an extensive promotional campaign and was planned to be the first installment of a new media franchise, but its sequel got canceled in 2007 and the film adaptation remains in development hell.ĭarkwatch features a reputation system that affects player's abilities in addition to the player character Jericho's starting, neutral vampiric powers of "Blood Shield", "Vampire Jump" (a double jump that can be aborted at any moment) and "Blood Vision" (a system of heat vision highlighting enemies and objects that also acts as a zoom). The gameplay system of Darkwatch is reminiscent of other first person shooters.ĭarkwatch was met with a generally positive critical reception, acclaimed in particular for its relatively unique Weird West setting and artistic merits. The game mixes western, horror and steampunk genres, telling the story of Jericho Cross, an outlaw gunfighter in the late 19th-century American Frontier who has been turned into a vampire and then forcibly recruited by the titular monster-hunting secret organization to fight against supernatural forces. It was developed by High Moon Studios (formerly Sammy Studios) and published by Capcom in the United States and by Ubisoft in Europe and Australia.

And while the latest Yoshi's Crafted World has a little too much text for my liking, the premise is the same: Jewels stolen.

Original Doom was the perfect incarnation of this: You hit New Game, pick a difficulty and boom: you're in. Games where you could just jump in and start playing with no handholding and no need for a tutorial. I really miss games with minimalist stories and hurdles to gameplay. The act of shooting enemies has to feel good for you to keep playing through such otherwise repetitive and simple games, and I think striving to achieve that on the PS2 was a paramount given the restrictions on scope and complexity that the PS2's limited hardware enforced. That's something that both of those games did very well, IMO. And Black I hadn't actually played until recently, but I love how Criterion focused so much on getting the feeling of the rather straightforward core gunplay just right. Frontline is especially nostalgic for me because its authentic sound design, memorable locations, and spellbinding soundtrack still impress today upon revisiting the game. What do you all think? Do you find it relaxing and sort of refreshing to revisit PS2 shooters like these?Īmong those Black and MoH: Frontline both stood out to me when I was recently on a PS2 kick.

To say that this incredible band is a favorite of mine would be an understatement. The story, which takes place in a dystopian setting where human-made music is nearly non-existent, is a mashup of 2112 (the Rush album), Hunger Games, and even Disney influences.Last week Backstage360 was fortunate enough to witness Dream Theater perform its newest album “THE ASTONISHING” in its entirety. The album features eight characters, and James LaBrie sings in a different tone for each character, which showcases his vocal talents in a superb way. ![]() Story-wise, I will not mention too much so that I don’t spoil anything. There are soft, emotional ballads (such as Chosen and Begin Again), radio-friendly songs (Our New World and The Gift of Music), and archetypical Dream Theater songs (Moment of Betrayal, A New Beginning, and The Path That Divides). As you can tell by just those first few songs, musical diversity is rampant here. The next song, “The Answer”, is much lighter than the previous two songs, and that’s followed by the anthemic “A Better Life”. That song has Rush’s name written all over it, and those first three tracks make for a great way to kick off the album. A rebel group from the village of Ravenskill promises to change all of that, and they attempt to show the Great Northern Empire what true music is made of.Īfter getting your first taste (or earful) of the NOMACs, the next two songs are “Dystopian Overture”, which is an instrumental piece that paves the way for what’s to come, and “The Gift of Music”, where James LaBrie narrates what’s going on between Ravenskill and the Great Northern Empire. The citizens of the Great Northern Empire have been listening to the NOMACs for generations, and those electronic sounds are the only kind of music they know. Music has become fully automated, produced entirely by computers with zero human input. The album begins with “Descent of the NOMACs”, and it immediately presents a problem that the album’s story deals with. Rudest even plays a grand piano instead of his Korg Kronos for most of the album. The five NOMAC songs are electronic, dubstep-like instrumentals, and the rest of the album, in addition to DT’s five musicians, features a full orchestra and choir. While the album itself is very long, the tracks themselves are quite accessible for most people, due to their shorter duration.įrom a musical standpoint, Dream Theater are at their very best here. The longest track, “A New Beginning”, is less than eight minutes in length, a far cry from their 20+ minute epics that grace more than a few of their other albums. Unlike most of DT’s other works, the tracks on this album are very short (by Dream Theater standards). All in all, it makes for one hell of an album. Twenty-nine of these tracks showcase Dream Theater at their finest, while the remaining five are short electronic interludes, which are produced by drone-like machines called NOMACs (NOise MAChines). “The Astonishing” consists of over two hours of music, spanning thirty-four tracks. It’s already been a year since the progressive metal band Dream Theater has released their second double-disc studio album, “The Astonishing”, and I would go so far as to say it was one of 2016’s best metal albums, not to mention one of the most ambitious albums in existence. ![]() ![]() ![]() When there is turbulence, the layers mix, and there are significant velocities in directions other than the overall direction of flow. Layers flow without mixing when flow is laminar. (credit: Creativity103)įigure shows schematically how laminar and turbulent flow differ. If you watch the smoke (being careful not to breathe on it), you will notice that it rises more rapidly when flowing smoothly than after it becomes turbulent, implying that turbulence poses more resistance to flow. The smooth flow is called laminar flow, whereas the swirls and eddies typify turbulent flow. In short, fluid dynamics are complicated and there's not an easy way to look at a spout and determine if it will pour smoothly or not.\): Smoke rises smoothly for a while and then begins to form swirls and eddies. Reynolds number assumes a perfectly smooth surface any small bumps or roughness will break up the flow and cause turbulence. I'd imagine the surface roughness of the inside of the spout has a big impact too. the pour angle and hydrodynamic pressure (how much of the weight of the water still in the teapot is pressing on the water leaving the spout). The characteristic length for pipe flows (the spout) is the diameter and the velocity will depend on the geometry of the teapot, i.e. ![]() ![]() In the case of a teapot, the fluid density and viscosity will be the same for all of them. Reynolds number is a function of fluid density, velocity, viscosity and characteristic length. The laminar flow regime is generally Re < 2000. Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless number defined as the ratio between dynamic pressure (the force pushing the water forward) and shearing stress (the friction force preventing the water from moving forward). Reynolds number is a good predictor of if a flow will be laminar or turbulent. I'm sure there are engineers here who can give you a better/more correct answer, but here's my best guess. I am by no means an expert on fluid dynamics and all of this is based on exactly one undergraduate fluids class. We spent a lot of time fine tuning and refining. For laminar flow nozzles we used a cylinder with the nozzle in the concentric with very sharp and square plate. In a teapot you only have hydrostatic flow so the shape and head pressure of the teapot has to be in a sweet spot for the nozzle to create slug flow, following the rules above you also want a shape of vessel that doesn't create asymetric flow and thus turbulence. In that last example you actually want a subset of laminar flow called slug flow. The nozzle is also important from a standpoint of orifice size.įinal variable is flow rate. I believe our nozzles used a ~80 deg countersink that was machined to a knife edge. Next important that most people forget is the nozzle, you actually want a really sharp edge with a defined edge that has no burs, this makes sure no turbulence, flow separation etc is put in right before it comes out. The easiest shape to get laminar flow is a cylinder as there are no corners that create turbulence, the inside walls also have to be very smooth and uniform as even rough texture, burs or divots can create flow separation. This of course is much easier said then done. Laminar flow is all about getting water where the fluid is all going in the exact same direction with no turbulence. I can add some depth! I worked at a fountain company that did laminar flow fountains and I have a patent on some miniature laminar flow devices.
