And my room was totally black and I was looking for the telephone and I called Paich and I heard him scream, he was living over there with his girlfriend and he was screaming around and falling over trying to get to the radio."Ĭash Box said it has a "simple emphatic piano part, heavy surging guitars, pleasant turns, fine singing and strong chorus." Billboard said that "Kimball's exciting vocals and the scorching instrumentals highlight this tune that also boasts a scorching mix and a solid hook." Ĭlassic Rock History critic Brian Kachejian rated it as Toto's 2nd greatest song, saying that "The song’s mesmerizing opening lick became of the most eagerly learned piano runs that all pianist had to learn instantly." Live performances "I was asleep, I had my alarm clock set for noon because we were gonna do something in the studio, some promo and when the alarm came on there was the radio and "Hold The Line" was playing. It was just a thrill." ( Steve Lukather, Guitar Player magazine, April 1984)īobby Kimball had a similar experience when he heard Toto for the very first time on the radio: My mom called me up and said, "Turn on KLOS." It was the song "Hold the Line," and I started running around the house in my underwear, screaming, "I'm on the radio!" My wife was cracking up. "I flipped the first time I heard myself on the radio. Several of the band members recall hearing "Hold the Line" for the first time on the radio: The song is in the key of F# minor and features a guitar solo after the second chorus which is played by guitarist Steve Lukather featuring several techniques like bendings, alternate picking, vibrato and harmonies. It was taking the Sly groove and meshing it with a harder rock caveman approach." When we did the tune, I said, "Gee, this is going to be a heavy four-on-the-floor rocker, but we want a Sly groove." The triplet groove of the tune was David's writing. ![]() That 8th note on the second beat is an 8th-note triplet feel, pushed. ![]() "That was me trying to play like Sly Stone's original drummer, Greg Errico, who played drums on "Hot Fun In The Summertime."

Jeff Porcaro on "Hold the Line", in a 1988 interview with Modern Drummer: The verses were subsequently finished two hours later. After toying with the piano riff one night, he started singing "Hold the line, love isn't always on time", and found the lyric to be a suitable fit. He began with the piano riff, which would become the song's intro and chorus. ![]() Keyboardist David Paich noted that the song was relatively easy to develop.

![]() Proof of its success: its recent Kickstarter campaign raised nearly 800% of its stated goal. The story unfolds four-ish minutes at a time, in one hundred YouTube installments. I was shocked at what they came up with, but I gotta admit–it worked.) (I couldn’t imagine how they’d handle Lydia’s elopement. The story is completely updated for the 21st century, maintaining the emotional strength of the original while making it believable for today. Hank Green turned Pride and Prejudice into a web series in this most recent adaptation. I enjoyed them and I hate My best friends wedding pretty woman ect, so is there a true def. I put off watching this one for years because I thought it sounded silly. I thought that Moulin Rouge and Sleepless in Seatle were supposed to be chick flicks that men have to go to please the girls, but they arent. Lizzie Bennett becomes Lalita Bakshirich, the second of four daughters in a country town in India, who falls–though not at first, of course–for the rich American hotel heir William Darcy. Pride and Prejudice becomes a Bollywood musical in this 2004 adaptation. Serious Bridget Jones fans know Fielding’s much-anticipated new installment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, just came out on October 15. Renée Zellweger stars as Bridget, and Colin Firth was asked to play Mark Darcy solely based on his appearance in the 1995 BBS edition of Pride and Prejudice (and specifically, for the lake scene). This film is loosely based on Pride and Prejudice, though the love triangle (that pulls in Hugh Grant) hews awfully close to Austen’s story. The remake is better than the Jimmy Stewart/Margaret Sullavan original.Įlizabeth Darcy is re-imagined as a thirtysomething single Brit in this 2001 hit, based on Helen Fielding’s book of the same name. Hanks and Ryan are quippy (and barbed) enough to make Elizabeth and Darcy proud, and the book itself makes it into several email messages and strategically appears in a key scene.

In this 1995 movie, Jane Austen’s Emma is re-imagined for 1990s Beverly Hills, with high schooler Cher (Alicia Silverstone) standing in for Emma Woodhouse. 5 favorite Jane Austen-inspired romantic comedies The lucrative offers to be on screen turned into such a flood of opportunity Ryan decided to drop out of college.īut Ryan was still uncomfortable with acting, celebrity and fame - she found acting "fun", but it was more a situation she found herself navigating than a dream she chased.Jane Austen is a classic, no doubt about it, but she’s gathered quite the cult following: normal fans don’t don Regency bonnets at a themed festival, bumper sticker their cars, or buy action figures.īut perhaps the greatest proof is the never-ending stream of Jane Austen remakes and romantic comedies. Ryan studied journalism in the early '80s at New York University and was working part-time as an actor when the film offers just kept coming. Photo-Illustration: Vulture Photo by TriStar Pictures. The deal didn't close isn't one'," Ryan said. If something's wrong with, that's an emergency. We became close friends, and I lived in the same building that she did. "I'd say to some of the people representing me at the time, 'Guys, don't leave me messages that say it's an emergency. I was very lucky when I got cast in Sleepless and met Nora Ephron, who changed my life in so many ways for the better. She explained her team of lawyers and handlers would often leave her alarming messages telling her there was an "emergency" that would turn out to be related to business. ![]() I would sort of duck and cover, and that wasn't what I wanted."

I was most impressed by how effective AI tools are when editing landscape photos. I assume the feature migrated to Luminar from the fully automated photo editor, Lemur, which is also offered by Skylum. The tools have the ability to distinguish landscapes from photos with people and apply different editing algorithms. I found the combination of these two sliders to be the most useful tools in the entire application. The AI Accent and AI Sky Enhancer tools are located under the AI Enhance editing panel. It is fun to play with, but this is a tool I will only use occasionally. If I count how many times I had to perform sky replacement in the last 12 months, that number would only be two or three. On top of the AI-powered functionality, you also have an array of tools to manually finetune the images.Įven though the Sky Replacement tool is very effective, I do not find that it is critical for my workflow. This is when the sky library that I have been collecting for years comes in handy. The Sky Replacement tool also comes with a library of sky images ready for use, but you can also use your own photos. Unedited Photo of Escalante River in Utah Even when you have a photo where the sky is obstructed by a tree, the tool manages to pinpoint the disjointed areas of the sky. The most impressive functionality of the AI-powered tool is how well it detects the area of the sky. In Luminar 4, you can replace the sky in your photo and continue editing in the RAW environment. Before you can proceed with the sky replacement, you have to rasterize the image. Normally, sky replacement is performed in photo editing programs like Photoshop. To my surprise, the tool works extremely well and the percentage of photos where additional manual tinkering is unnecessary is extremely high. Since I know firsthand that the process of replacing the sky in a landscape photo can be a tricky and time-consuming process, I was curious about its effectiveness. The Sky Replacement tool generated the most excitement among the photo community. The effectiveness of AI is both exciting and scary because it shows us a glimpse of the near future. But that looks to be changing with the latest release of Luminar 4, which has taken a commanding lead in regard to AI advancements. The effectiveness of these tools is questionable and progressing slowly. The AI tools in Luminar 4 are very useful, useable, and effective.Įvery editing program, including Lightroom and Photoshop, use some of kind of tools powered by AI and machine learning. So, when I first heard the announcement about Luminar 4 and its heavy use of AI, I rolled my eyes and did not pay much attention.īut I was wrong. AI is such an overused word that it seems like even the cereal sold in grocery stores is powered by AI. These days, I roll my eyes when I hear AI abbreviations used in marketing campaigns. The biggest buzz about Luminar 4 is the addition of a slew of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Since the features for both the Mac and Windows versions of Luminar is identical, I do not expect the Mac version to be any different. Today, I am offering my feedback on running Luminar 4 on my Windows desktop computer for one month. For years, the Windows version was behind the Mac version. If you are a Windows user, I am happy to inform you that, for the first time in Luminar history, both versions of the program (Mac and Windows) are identical in terms of features. ![]() My understanding is that since Skylum completely rebuilt the editing module of the program and introduced a myriad of new tools, the upgrade was not possible due to compatibility issues. You can run both versions of Luminar simultaneously. When you install Luminar 4, it does not replace the Luminar 3 installation. It is not an upgrade to Luminar 3 but is a new application. Luminar 4 is the second generation of the program since the introduction of the digital asset management (DAM). The popularity of Luminar exploded even further when they introduced the Library module to the program, which made it a viable option not only for editing photos but also for managing and organizing large photo libraries. When Skylum released the Windows version of Luminar in 2018, it immediately became the darling of newcomers in the world of photography because of the simplicity and intuitiveness of the program compared to Lightroom and Capture One. Instead, Sklyum created a completely different experience that relied heavily on filter effects and AI-powered tools. The program caught the attention of many photographers because it did not follow in the steps of industry leaders Lightroom and Capture One. ![]() Luminar is a photo editing program that was originally created by Skylum (formally known as MacPhun) as a Mac-only RAW editor. ![]() 2018 Marvel movie with Martin Freeman as a CIA agent taken to Wakanda: 2 wds.Just keeping you on your _ crossword clue.Lime green or lemon yellow for example crossword clue The Crossword Solver found 20 answers to 'Post haste', 10 letters crossword clue.TV anthology series whose 2014 season starred Martin Freeman crossword clue._ Cabrera Reports (MSNBC program) crossword clue.Break _!

![]() This 'load temperature' is more important than idle temperatures (assuming idle temps are fine), so you'll want to periodically monitor your CPU temperature under load to ensure it's adequately cooled. Under higher load, such as when playing a game, rendering a video, or other intensive tasks, your CPU consumes more power and, thus, runs at a higher temperature. When the CPU is idle, a good temperature is anything under or around 50C. Again, only use this as an indication of idle CPU temperatures - you should also check from within Windows 10 or Windows 11 to get a better idea of CPU temperatures when you're using the PC (see below). ![]() Once you're in the BIOS, you will see the temperature listed in the Hardware Monitor section, which can also be named PC Health Status or Status, among other similar names. Not all motherboards list the CPU temperature in the BIOS, but nearly all enthusiast or DIY motherboards do. On most platforms, you simply reboot the system and click delete or F2 repeatedly as it restarts. It's pretty simple to enter the BIOS to check your CPU temperature. That means you will see much higher temps when you are booted into Windows 10 or another operating system. You can check your CPU temperature in the system BIOS or UEFI, but be aware that this will only show your CPU temperature at idle. How to Check Your CPU Temperature in the BIOS Anything between 80C and 95C has room for improvement. You should be concerned if this figure is at or beyond 95C. The best way to monitor your temperature while gaming is to game for a while and then check back in with the program to see the maximum recorded temperature. Just be aware that this program puts an extremely heavy load on your PC. However, if you want to measure the maximum possible temperature, you can check by running a Prime95 stress test for about 30 minutes ( download here) in Windows 10 or Windows 11. If you want to check your PC's CPU temperature during normal use, you can leave Core Temp running while you perform common tasks. So, for example, the CPU in the above image has had a minimum temperature of 32C and a maximum of 51C and is, therefore, running at a normal temperature. But we're more interested in the Min and Max columns, which show the absolute minimum and the absolute peak temperature recorded while the program runs. The left-hand side of the measurements shows the real-time temperature of each CPU core, and you can also see the measurements in the taskbar. Just be sure to untick the freeware option during installation.Ĭore Temp provides temperature measurements for every core in your CPU. This is a simpler tool that works with a more basic UI. You can also use the Core Temp tool, one of the best CPU temperature tools for Windows 11 and Windows 10, to monitor the temperatures ( download here). While CAM is intended to be used with NZXT's products, it works really well as a casual monitoring tool in Windows 10 or Windows 11, even if you don't have any NZXT hardware. You can use the software in Guest Mode to avoid creating a user account, and you can also disable the program from starting automatically with Windows if you don't plan on using it often. You can download it here (opens in new tab). These are just a few examples of many, but we'll show you how NZXT's CAM and Core Temp work because we have found that these two are the easiest to install and use. CAM is developed by PC case (opens in new tab), power supply (opens in new tab), and CPU cooler (opens in new tab)manufacturer NZXT. For more advanced users, or if you're overclocking your CPU and want more in-depth measurements, Intel's eXtreme Tuning Utility (XTU) and AMD's Ryzen Master software are designed by the chipmakers and also offer expansive options. There are multiple programs to choose from, with the best tools for checking CPU temperature, including Core Temp (opens in new tab), NZXT's CAM (opens in new tab), AIDA64, HWiINFO (opens in new tab), or HWMonitor. How to Check Your CPU Temperature in Windows 10 and 11Ĭhecking your CPU temperature is as easy as installing and using monitoring software and then reading the output, and the same techniques apply to Windows 10 and Windows 11. ![]() How to rename several images simultaneously?įor images like JPG or PNG, it’s similar to other file extensions.

The levels determine whether this is possible early on, and you’ll soon learn to play with a mix of trial and error and a little bit of intuition. On the Vita, you can drag and move the screen around to see what’s ahead, which can be useful, and you can also tap on enemies to target and lock onto them – this works in theory but the game rapidly becomes too fast for this to be too much of a bonus unless you’re opting for a sneaky, stealthy approach and want to take down each enemy individually. It’s also used to finish off any not-quite-dead bad guys, with some degree of unwavering mutilation, even in the chunky pixels. The left trigger throws your current weapon (or picks up a new one), Circle drops it gently and Cross is used to interact with various parts of each level, or any individuals dotted about that don’t instantly want to kill you. The left stick is used to move and the right stick aims the player, but you need to tap the right trigger to fire, swing or punch. It takes a little while to get used to the controls. It’s full of synths and chiptunes but feels current and modern, perfectly clicking together with everything that’s happening on screen. Specifically the soundtrack, which draws from a wide range of artists and recreates elements of what made Drive (the movie) such a hit. The visuals are one thing – and they’re certainly playing on that 1980’s theme with their blocky corners and limited animation – but it’s the audio that really makes the game. Hotline Miami is so fast and decisive it feels nothing but constantly fresh, and it’s relentlessly exciting to play as a result. You’ll die in Hotline Miami – a lot – but you’ll also feel great when you win.Īnd that’s victory punctuated with shotgun blasts, knife stabs, baseball bat swings and katana slices – you’ll burst open doors to surprise the enemy you’ll hide around corners and take out multiple foes with a single throw you’ll run for cover as dogs chase you down corridors. Death is frequent (and it’s normally one hit kills, on both sides), restarts are instant, checkpoints are numerous. The plot – delivered by an uneasy trio of badly disguised gun-for-hire answer phone messages kooky, between level interludes and a series of unnerving flashbacks (or are they forwards?) – is quick and accurate, but it’s the gameplay itself that whips around at a pace we’ve not seen in a video game for years. Whichever format you choose (note the game is Cross-buy and saves carry over between the two consoles) Hotline Miami is a top-down, pixelated old-school twin stick shooter set in the late 80’s with a vicious, hyper-violent angle that blends perfectly with the dusty, blurry snuff movie style filters and ridiculously pulpy, albeit text-based dialog. Two ports, same game, but whilst on the Vita it’s a smart, slick port that perfectly lends itself to mobile play on the PS3 it’s a bombastic, pulsing big-screen LSD trip. I wasn’t totally convinced until the game appeared yesterday – I’d not previously played the thing myself and only seen it in the form of passing glances, but – wow – it kicks like a mule. The framerate is locked, so you can expect a solid performance even under a big storm of voxels.Like your games with a bit of a bite? You’ll want to buy Hotline Miami when it lands on PlayStation 3 and PS Vita this week then. ![]() ![]() This was a very difficult decision to consider, but a very necessary decision to allow the team to focus on what was possible and to make the best game possible for both of these platforms. Picking a game that was created specifically for the PS4 and bringing it to PS Vita and PS3 is very difficult, and the hardest compromise to accept during development, especially in regard to performance and graphics, is that these platforms don’t have the capability and power of a PS4.ĭuly, the biggest technical difference is that the PS Vita and PS3 games run at 30 instead of 60 FPS like the PS4 game does. The development team at Climax has done everything possible to make the PS Vita and PS3 versions of the game the very best they can be for each device and I think you’ll be very impressed with what they have managed to achieve. That’s right Resofans, from 17th December you will be able to save the last humans anywhere, anytime. One year later, RESOGUN is still as mesmerising as it ever has been on the PS4, and I’m pleased to announce today that RESOGUN is coming to PS Vita and PS3. Epic explosions voxels crumbling in raging torrents impossible manoeuvres to dodge dozens of enemies. ![]() Picard throws out more natural exposition here about how the Bynars have, over the centuries, developed a language that's really similar to Binary, and that they commune with the computer on their homeworld.īecause the script calls for everyone to talk about how orgasmically awesome this ship is, Riker remarks that it will be interesting to see how the Bynars improve upon the already fantastic performance of the ship's computer. "I've never encountered this race before, but I think they may be perfect for this job," makes more sense. And if you are going to attempt that, at least reverse the order. don't take two kinds of exposition and try to make them one. They leave so Riker can give the world's most awkward exposition: "The Bynars seem perfect for this job, even though I've never met this race." Picard and Riker tell them that they're staying on the ship in case they need anything, but Quinteros, who thinks highly of himself, insists that they won't need anything until final inspection. The Bynars aren't happy to hear this, but agree to get the work done in that amount of time. Picard tells them that they only have 48 hours to get their shit done, because they have to be somewhere after that. They are also super-stoked to be working on this, "the largest mobile computer" in existence. Quinteros says the pink guys are not guys, or gals, they're the Bynars, and they're "a unified pair." Their names are One-Zero and Zero-One. Riker, squicked out, changes the subject to the pink guys. ![]() This conversation is kind of creepy and self-congratulatory for no reason. Quinteros then also jacks off in congratulating himself for being in charge of the E's construction in the first place, and he takes credit for Picard's obvious delight in the ship.Then, without washing their hands, they clap one another on the back in solidarity and brotherhood. His enthusiasm for this subject almost matches that of Scotty. Quinteros asks if there are any problems to report with the ship, and Picard starts jacking off to how awesome his ship is. Of course the fandom is paying attention. It isn't really explained, and they probably don't want us to be paying too much attention to timelines, which mostly says that the showrunners hadn't been paying a whole lot of attention with TOS, when they developed the nerdiest, nitpickiest, most pedantic fandom on Earth. He gives the name of a place, and I guess we could extrapolate from that that the name of the outpost that they were supposed to be defending from the Romulans was called that. ![]() Quinteros remarks that the E is a week late for their overhaul, and Riker says they were delayed. |
