![]() A few Blacks even became Death Eaters, while many others never took the Dark Mark but believed in the "purification" of the wizarding world nevertheless. Many members took this phrase very seriously, and were willing to even marry and have children with their own cousins to keep the bloodline pure.īellatrix Lestrange and other Black relatives are tried before the Council of Magical Lawīecause of their views, a large number of the Black family members practised the Dark Arts and supported Lord Voldemort during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. The family motto, which could be found on the family crest, was Toujours Pur, meaning "Always Pure" in French. The Blacks placed a great importance on blood purity, considering themselves akin to royalty in the wizarding world and disdaining Muggles, Squibs, blood traitors, and Muggle-borns. They claimed to have entirely magical ancestry, but as Sirius Black informed his godson Harry Potter, no true pure-blood families existed by the twentieth century, and the pure-blood families like the Blacks simply removed Muggles and Squibs from their family trees. The Black family traced its origin back to the Middle Ages. my parents, with their pure-blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal." - Sirius Black to Harry Potter on his family's values The female line continued through members of the Malfoy, Potter and Weasley families, as well as through the individuals Teddy Lupin and Delphini, the latter of which was Bellatrix's illegitimate daughter with Lord Voldemort. īy the late twentieth century, the House of Black had become extinct in the male line with the deaths of Sirius and Regulus Black, neither of whom had children. The tapestry started in the Middle Ages and showed the dominant line of the family up to the death of its last members. ![]() The Black family tree was displayed in the drawing room of the family home at 12 Grimmauld Place in London, England on an intricate tapestry, as an ornate mural. The Blacks were traditionally sorted into Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Like the Malfoy and Lestrange families (both of whom are related to the Black family), the House of Black was synonymous with elevated status and wealth. Many wizarding families in Britain were distantly related to the House of Black. The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black was one of the largest, oldest, and wealthiest pure-blooded wizarding families in Great Britain, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.

![]() Most of the Youtubers who have made numerous outraged videos seem to be completely unaware that DC has an entire (and very successful) line of Young Adult graphic novels that take liberties with established characters. ![]() Jacob would discover he had superpowers from his Tamaranean heritage, though didn't know about his mother. Lesser known is their other love child, Jacob Grayson, who appeared only in Nightwing: The New Order, a timeline where Nightwing became evil and stripped the world of superpowers, resulting in Starfire leaving them.Starfire had a daughter with Nightwing named Mar'i Grayson, also known as Nightstar, though she has only appeared briefly in Kingdom Come and its sequel.However, it looks absolutely ridiculous and feels more like she's heading off to a cheap superhero convention. It's meant to symbolize her accepting Starfire as her mother and being comfortable with who she is despite being the daughter of a super heroine. Narm: Mandy's look as a superheroine at the end of the book.Memetic Mutation: "I Am Not _", "Nope, you are not.", "Dumpsterfire." Explanation Wordplay based around the title of the comic out of dislike for Mandy.In story, she slut-shames her mother for wearing skimpy clothing, implicitly looks down on how she doesn't have a father, mocks her speaking habits and never indicates a change of heart about her views, which some have taken to be a jab at Starfire being a role model for sex-positivity, a character trait that had also been erased in modern DC material aimed towards youth. Although the comic goes out of the way to make comparisons between her and immigrant parents, Mandy shows little respect for the traits influenced by her mother's customs. Starfire's portrayal has come under fire from her fans, who felt it took too much from her depictions in Teen Titans (2003) and Teen Titans Go! which put an emphasis on her status as an alien who was foreign to Earth culture.Neither does she really have much in the way of Character Development, many pointing out she only starts turning around after she gains powers which many feel isn't truly earned and that she only does so because her powers give her self-worth which is not a good message to give to the story's target audience. Designated Hero: One of the biggest problems a decent amount of readers have with the book is the fact that Mandy is a pretty unlikeable protagonist due to her constant Wangsting and being a self-centered Jerkass to people.The only real draw it has going for it is that it's related to Teen Titans. If you've read any type of teenage drama and/or protagonist-with-a-superhero-parent story, this one isn't going to be any different for you as it follows a lot of familiar beats to the letter. Cliché Storm: A major criticism against the book.At most, one could say she caught Blackfire off-guard and that Mandy was fueled by the Power of Love and that it was a case of Unskilled, but Strong, but it's still an utterly one-sided fight. She then defeats Blackfire without so much as breaking a sweat, despite being new to her powers and having much less experience than her mom or aunt. The climax of the book has Blackfire nearly defeat Starfire, which triggers Mandy into suddenly developing her powers. ![]() Every time I review a deck builder, Abbee always comments that it looks like Slay the Spire, and she’s always right. Roguebook is a familiar story with fresh ink. You can watch a video version of this review on my YouTube Channel. The creator of Magic the Gathering having a hand in Roguebook definitely sets some lofty expectations, especially given how many great games already exist within the genre. ![]() Roguebook is a phenomenally good game.It’s difficult not to become excited over anything that involves cards and the name Richard Garfield. Regardless, Roguebook is an exceptional title and 2022 is off to excellent start with its addition to the Microsoft store.ĭeep, complex, but easy to get into. None are deal breakers, but given the game has been out for a while on PC they seem like unfortunate omissions for this Xbox release. The only real downside is the game’s performance – there are stuttering frames, and unusual collision issues on the map itself. My shortest successful run was about an hour. The drawback is that the short runs are unlikely. Because each map is open the player can choose to take on the chapter of the boss without going through every fight and instead go to it when they feel strong enough. The feeling of being able to do the impossible and right a sinking ship by shielding a ailing hero, using judicious healing potions and finding the right combination of cards on that run, is gratifying. Roguebook has tip-top strategic play, and sidesteps the failure spiral with the two hero combo. Slay the Spire made me look past it by having short playthroughs and impeccable gameplay. A bad step can result in a run basically being over before it has even started. The best of them, Slay the Spire, is guilty of this. I’ve now played a number of games like Roguebook, ones that require tactical decisions combined with random events that can lead to, what can seem like, unwinnable scenarios. These will become vital after the first time the ‘final’ boss is beaten – at that point epilogues are opened up that add extra challenge and the promise of unlocking more of the story. Some give the hero a permanent health boost, others up the chance of better rewards, etc. The meta progression helps with this – littered around the map are pages, these are used to unlock bonuses for subsequent playthroughs. There are twists and turns that different enemies setup, whereby it becomes hard to set up enough defensive cards to stop damage, and health doesn’t recharge in between encounters so getting deeper into the chapters is tough. The hero at the front will be on the receiving end of most damage, so putting the heavier tank character there to soak it up becomes a prerogative for the player. This is very similar to Slay the Spire but the big twist on this is how the two heroes’ positions are important. ![]() Enemies will display their intent – attack, defend, and specials – and the player then plays their turn in response. When combat is triggered the game switches to a side view, with a set of cards doled out based around the sets belonging to the two heroes the player chooses to take into the game. Each map is different and because the game is a roguelite, returning to them will generate very different experiences. They will find battles, unlocks, money and random scenarios. To get out of the book requires beating three stages of increasing difficulty and defeating an overpowered boss.Įach map starts with the path being laid out on a hex-based map that leads straight to the boss, the rest of the map is not uncovered and the player must use a combination of brushes and inks to explore it. They are later joined by a rage-filled Seifer and kindly Aurora. The story revolves around Sharra attempting to escape from a magical book with the help of a buddy Sorocca. When I say ‘new’, Roguebook has been out on Steam since last year, and gauging from some of the more lukewarm reviews from around then Xbox players are benefitting from the extra year of revisions and patches. The developers, Abrakam, clearly have a fondness for the universe because their ‘new’ title Roguebook shares the same setting and characters. Faeria was a hidden gem on consoles, part card collection game, part turn based strategy it had a messy history on other platforms, but on consoles it was a slick title with all the free-to-play bits removed and just a rock solid AI and polished visuals.

A Farkle ends the Player’s turn and eliminates all points earned in that turn, regardless of the number of rolls. The Player may continue the turn indefinitely as long as no roll results in a Farkle. Each player rolls six dice on his turn to play Farkle. With the exception of the number one, any set is worth 100 times the number on the dice. ![]() The number one is worth 100 points, and five is worth 50 points. RULES Patch Products wants your comments about Farkle, including playing strategies you want to share with other players. Other numbers count if you get three or more of the same number in a single roll. Should all six dice score (in one or more rolls) the Player may continue the turn by again rolling all six dice. The scoring rules for Farkle state that players earn points when they roll a one, a five or a set of three matching numbers. Farkle Facts Single 1’s and 5’s are worth points. When a Player rolls a scoring die or dice (as shown below) the die or dice that the Player wants to add to their score must be withdrawn from play (retained) in order to roll again with the remaining die or dice. All other Players then have a final turn, after which, the Player with the highest score is declared the winner and has the first turn in the next game. Ending The Game: The game ends when a Player reaches a cumulative score of 10,000 or more points at the completion of a turn.All points earned in that turn are credited to the Player. Yes, the player can roll to collect more points or stop and keep any points acquired. Passing: A Player chooses to end their turn before Farkling.

A direct-view night-vision telescope was installed in the forward door, an early forward-looking infrared device was placed in the forward part of the left wheel well, with miniguns and rotary cannons fixed facing down and aft along the left side. The modifications were done at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base by the Aeronautical Systems Division. In 1967, JC-130A 54-1626 was selected for conversion into the prototype AC-130A gunship (Project Gunship II). ĪC-130H Spectre near Hurlburt Field, Florida in 1988 ![]() Capable of flying faster than helicopters and at high altitudes with excellent loiter time, the use of the pylon turn allowed the AC-47 to deliver continuous, accurate fire to a single point on the ground. Development Origins ĭuring the Vietnam War, the C-130 Hercules was selected to replace the Douglas AC-47 Spooky gunship (Project Gunship I) to improve mission endurance and increase capacity to carry munitions. ![]() The AC-130W Stinger II is a modified C-130H with upgrades including a precision strike package. The new AC-130J was based on the MC-130J Commando II special-operations tanker. The upgraded AC-130U Spooky has a single 25 mm GAU-12 Equalizer cannon in place of the Spectre's two 20 mm cannons, an improved fire-control system, and increased ammunition capacity. ![]() The AC-130H Spectre was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons, one L/60 Bofors 40 mm cannon, and M137 105 mm cannon and M37 recoil mechanism from the M102 howitzer after 1994, the 20 mm cannons were removed. During an attack, the gunship performs a pylon turn, flying in a large circle around the target, therefore being able to fire at it for far longer than in a conventional strafing attack. The AC-130 has an unpressurized cabin, with the weaponry mounted to fire from the port side of the fuselage. The squadrons are part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), a component of the United States Special Operations Command. AC-130Us are based at Hurlburt Field, Florida, while AC-130Ws are based at Cannon AFB, New Mexico gunships can be deployed worldwide. Force-protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. Air-interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and urban operations. The sole operator is the United States Air Force, which uses the AC-130U Spooky and AC-130W Stinger II variants for close air support, air interdiction, and force protection, with the upgraded AC-130J Ghostrider entering service. Developed during the Vietnam War as "Project Gunship II", the AC-130 replaced the Douglas AC-47 Spooky, or "Gunship I". The airframe is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, while Boeing is responsible for the conversion into a gunship and for aircraft support. Because its large profile and low operating altitudes around 7,000 feet (2,100 m) make it an easy target, its close air support missions are usually flown at night. Unlike other modern military fixed-wing aircraft, the AC-130 relies on visual targeting. It carries a wide array of ground-attack weapons that are integrated with sophisticated sensors, navigation, and fire-control systems. The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily armed, long-endurance, ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules transport, fixed-wing aircraft. ![]() 7 HD 720p Anek (Hindi + Tamil + Telugu) May.
