Through detailed observations of the sun and celestial sphere, the Mayans understood the length of a year to within 1/1,000 of a day. They observed the sky and made careful and accurate observations of the movements of celestial bodies and recorded their observations in a series of manuscripts or books called codices. During this time, the Mayans developed keen skills in astronomy, mathematics, time keeping, agriculture and many other disciplines. Mayan civilization spanned a period of about 3,000 years from 1,800 BCE (earliest records) to around 950 AD. So, what's all the fuss about? Should we max out our credit cards and live literally like there is no tomorrow? Should we give credence to these Mayan prophesies? To find the answers, we need to understand Mayan science, Mayan mathematics, and perhaps a little about human psychology.

Similarly, music composer Koichi Sugiyama, known for advertising jingles and pop songs, was hired to compose the game's soundtrack after he sent a postcard to Enix praising their previous work. Noted mangaka Akira Toriyama, of Dragon Ball fame, was commissioned to illustrate the characters and monsters, as well as the game's logo, which is well-known for its curved title with the letter "T" shaped like a sword (which served as an inspiration for other video game logo designs for example, Minecraft's logo made by Markus Toivonen ). He chose the Famicom because, unlike arcade games, players would not have to worry about spending more money upon defeat, and could continue playing from a save point. Horii combined the full-screen map of Ultima with the battle and statistic-oriented Wizardry screens to create the core gameplay of Dragon Quest. In order to make this game more accessible than the usual computer RPG of the time, it was designed to be more streamlined and fast-paced, with a greater focus on exploration, combat, and storytelling. These series were popular among computer hobbyists in Japan, but were deemed too difficult and convoluted for the average player to enjoy. To this end, his team began to develop an RPG that would combine elements from the American computer games Wizardry and Ultima. This style would influence many games after its release, including Enix's own Dragon Quest, but also inspired other key people in the video game industry such as Hideo Kojima and Eiji Aonuma for the Metal Gear and The Legend of Zelda franchises, respectively, with the former porting the game as a secret content in Metal Gear Solid V.Ī few years later, Horii desired to introduce the concept of role-playing games to the wider Japanese video game audience, distilling the experience to its purest form. It received a free port under Square Enix's AI technology preview 40 years after its release. Fellow contest winners Koichi Nakamura and Yukinobu Chida, working with Horii, released the Enix game The Portopia Serial Murder Case for NEC's PC-6001 in 1983 it was an instant success which set an early standard for non-traditional, open-ended gameplay. The prize was a trip to the United States and a visit to AppleFest '83 in San Francisco, where Horii discovered the Wizardry series of American role-playing games. In 1982, Enix sponsored a video game programming contest in Japan which would bring much of the original Dragon Quest team together, including creator Yuji Horii. ![]() ![]() 3 Media with elements appearing in the Super Smash Bros.The series, alongside Final Fantasy, laid the foundation that would define the genre for generations to come, directly inspiring monumental titles including Pokémon, EarthBound, Fire Emblem, and Shin Megami Tensei (including its subseries Persona), and elements popularized by it can still be seen in more modern series like Xenoblade Chronicles or Kingdom Hearts. The franchise is widely considered the quintessential Japanese RPG series, to the point of being a cultural phenomenon in its country while having a relatively small but passionate fanbase everywhere else. The player character assumes the role of a chosen hero going off on a quest to vanquish a cataclysmic evil and save the world. series' collection of characters, stages, and properties hailing from the series of role-playing games originally published by Enix, now Square Enix.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (2023) ![]() There are also designations for when the door is ajar. You can see this all unfold in real-time on the app, which displays a bright red button if the door is locked, or green if unlocked. You'll have to open and close your door several times in locked and unlocked positions to ensure that the Doorsense sensor lines up properly with the lock. Once the new hardware is in place, the August mobile app takes over for calibration. If you're unsure whether your door is compatible with August's hardware, there's a helpful support page where you can look up either your door's lock brand or deadbolt setup. And if that's the case for you, then a smart lock may not be ideal. I was worried that the August WiFi Smart Lock wouldn't work with my double doors because the deadbolts don't always line up so well. Then, install the Doorsense sensor either with the included adhesive strip or by screwing it in place. If you're tool savvy or have long nails you're hoping to keep intact, I also suggest a spudger or something of the sort to perform that last part. Once it's secured, attach the Smart Lock, then flip down the two side metal clamps to latch. You can adjust the screw holes on the plate according to your lock brand. The steps remain the same: remove the portion of your original door lock facing the inside of the house, then mount the plate for the August lock. Installing the August smart lock hasn't changed much since Engadget checked it one out last. Everything else comes inside the box, including two batteries, an array of lock adapters, mounting hardware and the Doorsense sensor, which attaches to the frame to detect when the door is open. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver and the screws from your original lock. The mobile app for iOS and Android provides handy video instruction to walk you through the entire process, from removing a standard single cylinder deadbolt to swapping in the smart lock unit. The August WiFi Smart Lock is a cinch to install. You'll still need Bluetooth available for the initial setup, however. The smart lock is only compatible with 2.4GHz networks, so make sure you have that set up before you try to log on. If you're concerned about WiFi being accessible while you're out, you can disable the connection from the lock settings deep in the August mobile app. This means you can lock and unlock the door even if you’re out and about. The kicker for this new model is it’s WiFi connected, unlike previous versions that required a separate bridge. I reviewed the silver version, which pairs nicely with my white-painted double doors, though it's also available in black. August said its users had "expressed a desire for something smaller," so it shrunk the internal motor and gearbox. The look and feel of the fourth-generation August smart lock hasn't changed from its predecessors, though it's nearly half the size. And because the keyhole stays the same on the outside, you can still use your physical keys to unlock the door in the event you don't swap out its dual CR123 batteries in time. That's one of the appeals of August’s Smart Locks: Unlike its competition, it’s not immediately apparent there's a gearbox installed on the inside of the door. I don't like drawing attention to the fact that my house is "techy,” both for security reasons and because I don't want the neighbors asking about it. It clashed with the aesthetic of the door, and I felt like the exterior keypad made it too obvious the lock was a smart one. When I first moved in, I brought over the Yale x Nest smart lock from my former dwelling. And it turns out an August WiFi Smart Lock not only works fine but it also kept my vintage door hardware intact. One of those items on my to-do list was figuring out whether my original, 40-year-old front door can handle a smart lock. But if quarantine has afforded me anything, it's the time to reflect and make headway on the various home improvement projects I've put off for a while. I haven't left the house in nearly two months except for my daily walk around the neighborhood. I can't start this review without admitting that it's a peculiar period in time to review a smart lock. ![]() Once killed, Mirmulnir will explode in flames, and then release his soul in a blast of energy. As an essential character in the game, she can be weakened but not killed in the attacks. When he's on the ground, the best approach is from the side. When the dragon is in the air, attack at every safe opportunity until he is forced to land. The dragon's wing attacks, while very strong, are the least powerful of his physical attacks. Both of these types of attacks deal heavy physical damage. If you are behind him, he will beat his tail on the ground, trying to hit you. When up-close, he will attack frontally with his jaws. If facing you from a moderate distance, he will use his Thu'um (shouts) against you, as long as you are in his line of sight. When on the ground, Mirmulnir uses both physical and magic attacks. If you get inside the watchtower, or near its door, you can effectively use its walls for this, and then step back out, or use a window or doorway to counter-attack when his shout has dissipated. ![]() If he begins to aim his face toward you while in the air, seek cover to shield you against the powerful shout that will ensue. When his attention is focused elsewhere, attack with a ranged weapon or spell. He may also use the somewhat more powerful Fireball shout. Dragons are indiscriminate in their attacks, so the presence of multiple targets should relieve you of some of the onslaught. When in the air, the dragon will use shouts, typically Fire Breath, against you, the others, and any other living creature who may happen to be in the area. If you play this quest at higher levels, Mirmulnir may attack with frost. Ranged weapons, frost or shock attacks, and melee weapons will be effective choices. While at a level of around 20 or lower, Mirmulnir will be a dragon that uses fire attacks, is resistant to fire damage, and is weak against frost damage. Once further wounded, he will remain on the ground. He will land, fight, and then fly off after losing about a quarter of his health. Use dragon combat strategies during the battle. The dragon, Mirmulnir, will approach from the south and will immediately begin attacking the group. Irileth will advise taking cover against the dragon's attacks and to "make every arrow count". Shortly after hearing this, you will hear several warnings that the dragon has returned. On the north side of the tower, on or around the ramp leading to the interior, you will encounter the lone surviving Whiterun Guard, stammering about what he's just experienced. After a short talk, Irileth will give orders to search for survivors. You will gather near the road close to the watchtower to find the watchtower burned and smoking, evidently signs of a recent attack by a dragon. After she delivers a speech to rally her soldiers, follow them west towards the tower. "No! Get back! It's still here somewhere! Hroki and Tor just got grabbed when they tried to make a run for it!"įollow Irileth to the Guard Barracks just inside the city gates. ![]() After reaching a certain point, progression becomes extremely challenging, if not impossible, unless you purchase upgrades from the in-game store. There’ve been some complaints about Radiant Defense. Well, says I, why not? It is most apropos. ![]() The developers don’t shy away from making references to such games, even referring to one of the multitude of flying enemy aliens as Galagan in origin. The same company released an earlier game simply entitled Radiant, a game designed in the loving memory of early top-down shooters – such as Galaga. I wager it contains all the tower upgrades. More often, though, I used that time to try downloadable mobile games from the Google Play Store.Īpparently it’s available on Steam, too, though not for free. During that time, I spent a lot of time on buses or trains during a commute from Woodstock, NY to Manhattan, and had ample time to read or listen to music. When I first played this game – perhaps a year and a half before this post – I did so avidly. It’s a free download, too, though there are expected micro-transactions. Radiant Defense delivers in the eye-candy department. The Candy-esque colors of Bangkok taxis were rather appealing, and the motley of mad skittles-themed clothing from hippies and mountain-tribes alike is fascinating to me. I love when women dye their hair some unnatural shade of the rainbow, or watching vibrantly painted motorbikes speed by, and even my favorite shirts are very “loud” (though solid) colors. This game is heavily saturated with color, and in recent years I’ve come to understand my own personal aesthetic attraction toward bright colors. It stands out, however, with it’s radiance. Radiant Defense is a title released by Hexage Games, and in a nutshell it can be compared to most other Tower Defense games you or I have played. Today, though, I’m focusing on a mobile game, one I’ve played in the past and recently downloaded again. There is, however, something of a gaming community here, one that I’ve only recently partaken in, and lets just say it’s more than comforting to meet fellow birds of a feather. This is largely in part because I’ve hardly played any games, especially since moving to Sai Gon. ![]() I haven’t done a game review in a long time. ![]() “If you want something lighter or vivid, you will need to pre-lighten first,” explains Papanikolas. And, of course, it’s always wise to bring a reference photo (or a few), as it helps paint a picture of where to place the pigment.īe sure to keep in mind that any shade darker than your natural color might need to be bleached or lightened first. Experts also recommend telling your colorist the specific section of your hair you want to dye, as well as whether or not you want it to be hidden. Other ways to describe the look include “block color” and “halo sections,” Rojas adds. Jason Merritt/TERM/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Rihanna rocked her own peek-a-boo ‘do in 2009. “It’s important to have a thorough conversation with your colorist so you are taking into account not just the right color choice, but how the placement works with your haircut,” he says. He says to specifically request “high contrast panels of color” and consider having a consultation beforehand. “Visit a professional as placement is key to the end result,” Kandasamy tells Bustle. Hair experts universally advise seeing a color specialist for this dye job. “If you choose a darker color on the bottom, you won't even need to bleach that part, so you'd be able to continue with your same care routine without any different products.” Sold. “This is a very easy look to maintain as no one will see your roots growing in with the peek-a-boo,” Ghanima Abdullah, hair expert and cosmetologist at, explains. Plus, while the bold nature of the peek-a-boo trend might make it seem like it requires extensive upkeep, it’s surprisingly low maintenance. “Wearing hair up to show it off is great, and using a vivid color makes it modern and unexpected,” he adds. “It has an edgy punk vibe, but can be hidden,” he says - kind of like a discreet tattoo, but with hair color. Steve Azzara/Corbis Entertainment/Getty ImagesĪs for why it’s making such a comeback now? George Papanikolas, celebrity hairstylist and Matrix brand ambassador, believes it gives you the best of both worlds. “It’s all about adding pops of high contrast to your existing base color, whether that be playful hues or literal black and white tones.”Ĭhristina Aguilera popularized an especially bold take on the look in the early 2000s. ![]() ![]() “This trend can be brought to life in so many different ways and extremes,” says Kandasamy. This way, the second color acts like an accessory that can be seen when hair is pulled up or styled in a specific way - though there’s no wrong way to rock the two-toned look. Hair colorist and R+Co collective member Richy Kandasamy says the most common take on look as wearing one’s natural color juxtaposed with a very bright placement. “It’s placed underneath a larger section of hair so you can choose to show it off or keep it hidden,” he tells Bustle. What Is The Peek-A-Boo Hair Color Trend?Īccording to Chase Kusero, hair colorist and co-founder of IGK Hair Care, the peek-a-boo look consists of a section of color strategically placed to peek out as the hair moves.

He considers the look to be part of the e-girl aesthetic. ![]() “Miley does have a version of this trend, but I’ve also seen it on Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Ashnikko, Billie Eilish, and Sia’s half-black half-blonde bob,” Jose Rojas, hair colorist at Hair Cuttery, tells Bustle. Today, a number of celebs have brought it back to the mainstream. In the early 2000s, countless A-listers rock the two-toned aesthetic, including Christina Aguilera (who could forget her iconic blonde-on-black hair in her “ Beautiful” video?), Avril Lavigne, Shakira, Nicole Richie, and more. While Cyrus set the color fad in motion, the singer’s look is actually a nod to countless musicians who rocked it before her: Madonna and Debbie Harry are often credited with popularizing the style in the 1980s, though two-toned hair returned as a cultural phenomenon 20 years later. Peek-a-boo hair color features the bottom section of strands dyed a second shade, making it a more discrete yet still eye-catching way to rock different hues. In fact, Google searches for “ two-tone hair” increased by 733% in the week Cyrus was spotted with the style, while queries for “Miley Cyrus hair” simultaneously rose by 393%, according to data from beauty platform LOOKFANTASTIC. Early 2000s-inspired “peek-a-boo” hair has emerged as one of this summer’s most popular beauty trends, especially after Miley Cyrus debuted the look a few months ago. ![]() "If I'm really going for something special, I'll select a handpainted or marbled tile from somewhere like Balineum," she says.

Similarly, black and grey stone backsplashes, which are widespread on the continent, are becoming more prevalent in the US as they’re the perfect partner for furniture in pale grey or chalky white tones. Pairing metallics, such as copper or gold, with crisp marble work surfaces is proving popular, as is expanses of antiqued or smoked mirror to make a small kitchen look bigger and even the most compact design seem lighter and more welcoming.
