Some sort of layer system (apart from the "storeys") would be very welcome. Last but not least, user-created guides are on a same layer as walls, furniture and all objects, yet cannot be locked as can objects. Also is no way to decide on a scale of import for 3DS objects (no import preference whatsoever). for example some sort of Poser import to bring in a few people to amke a scene more lively and give a better scaling appreciation of space). though the 3D import is limited (.obj support would be welcome for instance. Overall it seems to me the 2D environment still needs quite a bit of refining/rethinking. Also the usual Mac shift/constrain does not apply in this software. I also find that snapping is a little fickle (with no preference to be set in this realm). It would be nice to have a panel that would allow one to place guides entering their coordinates. Overall this could be a great piece of software, yet the 2D drafting tools are a little awkward and make it difficult to be precise, for example the grid becomes very choppy-looking at high magnification percentages (though for precise-snapping/measurements it is often important to magnify a lot as the grid automatically changes it's definition as one changes magnification). But if you take the time you can create models which are surprisingly realistic, especially for an $80 program. The 20% that is slow is the fine-tuning of the details: wall color, crown molding, and baseboards, for example. This program shines in how quickly you can get 80% of your modeling done. And my favorite, you can find new objects to import in the Google 3D warehouse: plants, chairs, electronics, your car to put in the garage, and those are all free. Drop it into LI3D and draw your walls on top you're done! Or you want to add your real wall decorations (paintings, photos) to your model, so you take a digital photo and import it into the program. You have a PDF of the floor-plans to your home. I could go on and on about the great features, but here are 3 examples. ![]() I've used this program for determining if new furniture would fit in my apartment or in a moving van, laying out some friends' entire house (during construction) to help them choose things like floors, cabinets, countertops, and for helping design an in-house theater room with raised seating on the second row. Adding doors or windows is as simple as dragging the item from a shelf and dropping it on the wall where it should be. Click another button and you see it in 3D. Click the wall tool, click 4 times (the four corners), and you have a room. The program makes designing room layouts exceptionally easy. Save using this offer under specific terms. This is one of the most enjoyable Mac programs I've ever purchased. Live Home 3D Pro for Windows for Only 49.99 Exclusions may apply.

Even powerful gaming machines (whether notebook or PC) can buckle under the pressure. The quality of a cover is represented by points and indicators in various colors.Ī disadvantage of the great visuals is the huge hardware demands. The cover system, which is useful for flanking purposes, plays an especially important roll. Fortified units have to protect themselves from engineers, who are equipped with flame-throwers. For example: 08/15 soldiers, who aren't within range of grenades or Molotov cocktails, are torn to pieces by an MG nest in the blink of an eye. Of course the Russians are notorious for their cannon fodder tactics (quantity before quality), but blindly storming forward often turns out to be a mistake.Īs is fitting for a good RTS title, a brutal rock-paper-scissors principle permeates the game. While many competing titles just bring out one tank after another, eventually enabling the gamer to simply roll over opponents, in Company of Heroes 2 you'll have to pay attention to every little detail. At its core, Company of Heroes 2 is surprisingly tactical and challenging. Still, anyone dreading a brainless brouhaha of an action game can breathe freely. Everywhere you look things are booming and banging, much like in Call of Duty. The first mission already scores points for its high "ka-boom" factor, which sets the stage for the rest of the production. On the battlefield, Company of Heroes makes a very good impression. Unfortunately, the figures in the video sequences are somewhat stiff and long-legged. Based on our experience, the narrative quality falls somewhere between Command & Conquer and a Blizzard production ( StarCraft, Warcraft). Though the story isn't mind-blowing, you always feel motivated to fight the next battle. Through flashbacks the player can take part in past deployments. The initial situation can be easily summarized - Company of Heroes 2 revolves around a Soviet army lieutenant named Isakovich, who is being held captive and interrogated by some of his fellow countrymen in a Siberian internment camp (did someone say Black Ops?). Unlike some of their rivals, the developers try to tell a genuine story. In this mode we tested four missions.įor an RTS game, Company of Heroes 2 is very heavy on the narrative. ![]() Due to time constraints, we're going to stick to the single-player mode in this article. Campaign, Multiplayer, Skirmish, Challenges, Co-op, Army Customizer, Broadcasting: It seems like an inexhaustible range of possibilities. While the first part took place in the west (France, etc.), part two is set in the east, in the land of the Soviets.Īs soon as you see the main menu, you know Company of Heroes 2 offers a whole lot of variety. Now at long last the wait for the next title is over. It's been just under seven years now since the real-time strategy experts at Relic ( Warhammer 40k) released their first installment of Company of Heroes, highly praised by the press and gamers alike. For the original German article, see here. ![]() We cannot imagine a battlefield without a bulk load of weapons. The players who are looking for a game that can offer an action-oriented approach will love it. The artillery and bombings provide a realistic touch which makes the game quite interesting. The visual effects of the battlefield 1942 provide an actual touch of the battleground situation that makes it intense. The core features of the battlefield are of top class, and it is being described briefly: In these kinds of games, the features are the ones that make it quite interesting. With this kind of gameplay the Battlefield 1942 holds the top place among all the action shooting games. The gameplay is quite interesting as the visuals are numb cracking and make the player indulge in the game while shooting the enemies. The gameplay provides an easy approach to control the vehicles and helps explore the different aspects of the battlefield. One of the excellent points of this game is the shooting and map layouts that make the playing simpler. The gameplay provides actual physics-oriented activities, in which one can easily jump, crawl and start using vehicles. This is one of the games that have simplistic yet realistic simulation. When it comes to realistic gameplay, Battlefield 1942 provides an excellent touch. With this option, one can play in different battlefields combatting the enemy. The player can play different roles such as Scout, Anti-tank, Medic, Assault, and engineer. The single-player and multiplayer gaming modes are the options through which any player can play the game. This is a combat-oriented game that supports different modes. ![]()
![]() If a vesting date is soon enough, some employers will push out a candidate’s start date until after the candidate’s vesting event has passed. In these scenarios, employers may increase the base salary, offer a signing bonus or bump the stock grant (likely one or both of the latter two) in order to land the candidate and/or secure an earlier start date. If a candidate’s current RSU grant is substantial and the new offer is, overall, of significantly less value.If a candidate has a set of RSUs that are on the verge of vesting at her/his current company (i.e. ![]() With this said, there are circumstances where a candidate’s RSU situation may influence an employer to sweeten their deal. In addition, it is more than likely that the employer has offered the candidate its own stock grant as part of its offer, which serves to cover…to varying extents…the stock that is being left behind. So there’s nothing in the here and now to give up. They are unvested and have not been earned. Generally speaking, it is not common for employers to “buy out” a candidate’s unvested RSUs at his/her current employer…because employers do not view these RSUs as anything to buy out. So is it common for employers to acquiesce and buy out a candidate’s unvested RSUs as part of their compensation offer? And as a result, a growing number are asking employers to bridge the gap. Granted, those grants are still unvested, meaning that they are currently of no value to the candidate – but a greater number of candidates are increasingly considering this sacrifice of future value in their decision to depart. And those with RSUs tend to wince a bit harder at the thought of leaving that upside behind. When a professional leaves an organization, it often means that s/he is leaving behind unvested stock. ![]() Most of the private/emerging growth companies today remain in the options boat, but the tide is slowing starting to change here as well. The vast majority of public companies have fully migrated to RSUs, some offer a mix of RSUs and options and a much smaller number are still in the pure option grant category. This shift has enabled employers to be more competitive when trying to land the very best talent. But over the years, the nature of this grant has been shifting from a pure options grant to restricted stock units or “RSUs” (a company’s commitment to give the value of a specific number of its shares in the future for which payment is not typically required). Historically, the stock has been granted in the form of stock options(the right to buy a company’s stock at some future date at a price established now). When a lawyer moves in house, s/he is often offered stock in the organization as part of an overall compensation package. ![]() ![]() Highlight: A great all-arond episode, with Lida, Frank and Danny all delivering hilarious calls.

The first season is split across two discs, with five episodes on each. The fact that they are being dropped by puppets makes it funnier in a way, working along the lines of how South Park has children cursing. I really didn't think the bleeping was a big deal, but some people enjoy an F-bomb caressing their ear. It's odd to see that the puppet makers included nipples on their felt creations, but if you wondered what that was like, this set is the way to go. The big selling point of this set is that it's uncensored, which means that all the puppet nudity that was blurred and the cursing that was bleeped, is included in its untouched form. Small interstitials serve as transitions between the various locales of fictional Yankerville. The shows fly by, at 22 minutes a piece, with six or seven calls in each, some longer than others. Some of the best segments of the show came during the first season, including the sweetly-retarded Special Ed (Jim Florentine) calling tech support, creating the show's signature cry of "I got mail! Yay!", Sav Macauley of The Phone Zone (Dane Cook) calling a crazy military man and Shavin (Dave Chappelle) trying to book the Wu-Tang Clan rooms at a bed-and-breakfast. The quality of the calls can be hit or miss, depending on the responses by "The Mark," but on a whole, they tend to be pretty good. The calls are rarely abusive, as the jokes tend to be more fun and goofy, which raises the show above the level of The Jerky Boys. The premise is simple, as Kimmel, Adam Corolla and a crew of guest comics, including Kevin Nealon, Jim Florentine, Billy West and Tracy Morgan, act out a cast of outrageous characters calling people and harrassing them. Who could have bet against that formula? Jimmy Kimmell ("The Jimmy Kimmel Show", The Man Show") and his production partners didn't, turning their love of prank phone calls into one of Comedy Central's most popular shows. ![]()
While doing so, their wings beat fast enough to produce a humming sound. The unique wing structure of hummingbirds means that they are able to hover. There are around 360 hummingbird species. It uses its long bill and extendable tongue to obtain nectar from flowers. Xantus’ hummingbird is mainly green in color, and has black cheeks and a bright white stripe behind each eye. Like several species in this list of animals that start with X, Xantus’ hummingbird was named after John Xantus de Vesey, a Hungarian zoologist. Xantus’ hummingbird is a mid-sized hummingbird found only in Baja California, (a state in north-west Mexico). Xantus’ Hummingbird Photo: Ron Knight It belongs to the family Haemulidae, a group of fish also known as “grunts” on behalf of the sounds they make by grinding their teeth. The Xanthic sargo is a fish found on the Pacific coasts of the United States and Mexico. ![]()
