With Half-Life 2, we finally depart the confines of Black Mesa. With the release of Half-Life 2, they continued the story of Gordon Freeman and introduced more game-changing innovations. Platforms: Windows, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, macOS, Linux, Android Granted, it is a decent gameplay experience in its own right, though it doesn’t quite echo the combat and story-heavy atmosphere that made Half-Life stand out. In that case, the player can switch between the two characters to solve puzzles, and the character not being controlled by the player will instead be controlled by AI.ĭecay was released only for the PlayStation 2, so it was not as popular as earlier expansions. However, though it may have been designed to be played in split-screen with two players, it can still be played in single-player. Naturally, the game plays like the original Half-Life, but with an added accent on co-op play. Once again, the game takes place in Black Mesa, only this time, we didn’t get a new protagonist, we got two.ĭecay was envisioned as a cooperative multiplayer experience, putting the player in the shoes of two Black Mesa scientists: Colette Green and Gina Cross. The third and final Half-Life expansion, Decay, was an exciting entry in the franchise’s history. Half-Life was originally released for Windows in 1998, it was ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2001, and it was also brought to macOS and Linux in 2013. All of this comes together to form a very memorable gaming experience that holds up rather well even today. The game features many enemies, aliens and humans alike, and it features some platforming and puzzles as well. ![]() After an experiment goes wrong and the Black Mesa Research Facility is turned into a nightmare flooded with alien lifeforms, it’s up to Gordon to set things straight, which he does the classic FPS way - with an arsenal of big guns. The game put the player in the shoes of Gordon Freeman, the silent protagonist whom the player controls through the wholeness of the first game and most of the series. Sure, it may seem like nothing special in retrospect, but it truly stood out at the time since it featured great-looking 3D environments and placed a greater accent on storytelling than most FPS games of that time.

![]() The Numark NS4FX fits a definite gap in the market for a mid-price, mid-range Serato controller. In practical terms, that means that you can livestream by “hijacking” the audio via the USB cable and the NS4FX’s built-in audio interface, and it’ll contain your mic/aux sources as well as the Serato music, negating the need for a serarate USB mic or audio interface when livestreaming via your DJ laptop. Read this next: Ultimate Guide to DJ Livestreaming One cool “hidden” feature is that both the mic/aux and the mic inputs, while not strictly routed through the software, are “sent” down the USB cable, which means whatever you’re using on those two inputs gets blended with the output signal. That said, there is only one effect to be selected at any one time. We particularly liked the separate hardware looping controls, and also enjoyed the immediacy of the paddle FX, which apart from the odd choice of duplicating the filter effects on the buttons as well as the per-channel knobs, offer a good blend of immediacy (paddles are fun!) and control (you get a wet/dry and a beats control for them, plus there’s a tap button for those tricky BPMs). The build quality is great for the money, and you wouldn’t look out of place playing on this in many public places. Mixing on the third and fourth decks is achieved as it is with all such controllers by the use of a “layer” button to switch between decks – it’s a bit fiddly but it gets the job done. ![]() There is a key lock, although if you want to shift key, apart from using Pitch Play you’d be doing so with the mouse on the software screen, and also while we’re talking about “missing” hardware controls, there’s no sampler volume on the unit or slip button – again, you can trigger these on the screen with the mouse though. If you upgrade to Serato DJ Pro (and you should – it’ll cost you $249 extra though, so look out for their offers like Black Friday sale etc) you also get “Pitch Play”, slip roll, slicer and “Scratch Bank”. The pads have the expected functions, eg hotcues, auto loop and sampler, and there’s also a “fader cuts” option which is basically a transform effect (like cutting the crossfader in and out rhythmically, at your choice of eight speeds). The layout is good, making this fun to DJ on – we just wish it had better VU meters, and RGB pads. Serato is a great software platform of course, but the NS4FX also works with VirtualDJ and Algoriddim’s djay Pro AI. Most of the controls feel good notwithstanding the slightly cheap feeling crossfader, and the in-jog displays are great for basic info like BPM, key lock indicator, time elapsed/remaining and other useful such items, including a nice motion ring. Overall, it’s a solid controller to DJ on. Once you’re up and running, there’s lots to love here. ![]() The unit has to be powered, ie it doesn’t run from USB from the computer, but this is a good thing because it means nice, bright LEDs and in-jog displays, plus loud, punchy 24-bit audio. There’s a useful clamp to hold the power socket in place, a choice of 1/4″ and 1/8″ headphones sockets, and physical crossfader assign switches, all of which add up to a pretty decent unit for the money. The aesthetic is slightly different to the Mixtracks (the NS4FX is lighter grey, and the pads glow white, not red), but it retains all that marks the Mixtrack Pro FX and Mixtrack Platinum FX out from lesser budget controllers, such as the long-throw pitch controls, weighted jogs, and separate looping controls. Particularly, note the booth outputs and the cord clamp on the back – good features for mobile DJs. The build quality and components (faders, jogwheels, knobs, buttons, paddles) are all the same as the Mixtrack FX units, but that’s no bad thing, as these days all Numark controllers are very well built for the price. Learn to DJ using ANY gear: The Complete DJ Course Coupled with its 24-bit audio, these features mean this unit could easily be used in bars, lounges and public events. You get a mic/aux input with tone control, a second mic input (again, with volume and tone), and balanced XLR outputs alongside the more usual unbalanced RCAs. The front of the unit, showing the second mic input, crossfader controls and headphones sockets. It’s deeper, wider and longer than the Mixtrack Platinum FX, but as well as that, it has some features that move it up a rung from its stablemates lower down the range, namely better inputs and outputs. This is a four-channel Serato DJ controller, which comes with Serato DJ Lite software, and is essentially a bigger take on the popular Mixtrack Platinum FX. ![]() Leaving the completed trap behind, she then heads out into the wild to find soup ingredients and is confronted by a small-ish onslaught of walkers – which, to nobody’s surprise whatsoever, she deals with masterfully.

Yearning to find more in the way of food and supplies for everyone back at Alexandria, Daryl opts to stay out hunting while Carol returns to camp. ![]()

However, the campaign’s failure in the elections closed the lid on the far right for two decades and ended the use of these overt connections. In his attempts to appeal to proponents of French Algeria, the campaign often called to ‘ dénoncer les prétendues accords d’Evian’ while it deplored the presence of Algerians in France. The one early instance of an overt connection between the Algerian defeat and Algerian immigration occurred during the attempt of Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour to unite the far right and unsuccessfully campaign for the presidency in 1965 with Jean-Marie Le Pen as his right-hand man.

In the first half of the 1960s, a few press articles addressed ‘ graves problèmes sociaux’ of Algerian immigrants ( Le Figaro, 4 December 1962 and another on 27 December 1962) or the ‘ inquétant exode des Algériens vers la France’ ( Paris-Presse-L’Intransigeant, 21 March 1964), but these remained exceptions. This chapter interrogates what kind of silence these actors sought to break. Popular attention to colonial history rose from the commitment of several groups of activists and historians who vowed to ‘break the silence’ on the excesses of France’s colonial empire, particularly during the Algerian War of Independence. Far more than reflecting the state of the public debate in France, the level of public interest in colonial history or the visibility of colonial history in French school curriculum, the ubiquity of the demand to ‘acknowledge’ colonial history in the mid-2010s follows a process of the politicisation of colonial history that began in the early 1990s.

When it was time for thrillers, this was unforgivable. In Home Alone and its sequel, Kevin would do even more violent things but for the sake of comedy. Ironically, it all had to do with the evil side of his characters, and not with the ultra violence the film displayed. Related: The Best Child Actors Working Today The Good Son was undeniably the spark that would end things. It was a short span, but his golden years would serve as an example of how Hollywood treats and mistreats child actors until they become irrelevant when compared to box office returns. Nine years would pass until he appeared in films again. He suddenly disappeared from the public eye and people were concerned about what he would end up doing with his life. Even critics used this dilemma to trample on the film, making it a commercial success but a flop in the critics’ circle.īetween 19, Culkin’s career went downhill. People were too shocked to see him in this light. No one can say this wasn’t the beginning of the end. Perhaps, Culkin's future after this one would serve as a cautionary tale for how not to progress in Hollywood. It’s a fact that Hollywood doesn’t take big risks anymore. If we add “children in peril” to the formula (with impressive stunt scenes by the way), then the whole film becomes a collection of “reasons why you should hate Macaulay Culkin and his golden smile from now on."įilms of this nature are rare today. We understood as an audience that someone aimed to change whatever image we had of Culkin, but it was shocking how the script allowed him to be this malignant. The violence in The Good Son was uncanny, even excessive for some.

The song suggests that sometimes, even when we are physically close to someone, we can feel far from them emotionally. The repetition of "miles away" draws attention to the emotional gulf between the speaker and his partner. ![]() The song evokes the themes of emotional distance, miscommunication, and longing for connection. The speaker is left wondering where he is going and where he went wrong, as he never meant to wander away from his partner. He is aware of the shame of the situation: he kisses his partner but still feels miles away from them. He acknowledges that they have been waiting for him to return and that he wants to be with them, but he is always drifting away. The speaker admits to not listening to his partner and asks them to repeat what they said. Despite being next to his partner, he feels detached and disconnected. The speaker repeats the phrase "miles away" throughout the song, emphasizing the emotional chasm between him and his partner. In Phil Cook's song "Miles Away," the speaker describes his emotional distance from his partner despite being physically close to them. You're always runnin' (you're always on your own) Where could you be? (I been away too long) I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)

In the middle of the song, powerful piano chords take over the song structure and build the energy for a strong finish of a masterpiece album. To conclude the album, Phil presents Life, a relaxed, medium tempo jam. The continuous rocking positive energy on this song keeps the momentum grooving with no end. At track eight, listeners have experienced both the mellow, and upbeat energized meter that strikes throughout the entire album. Phil Cook contains the powerful songwriting skill of switching up the vibes and style on each track that gives all of his fans an emotional, riveting ride through his music.ĭeeper Kind is the perfect deep track on this record. Immediately from the beginning, listeners are thrown into an acoustic, meditative paradise and find themselves in a relaxed, joyful state. Tupelo Honey is another highlight and surely a top song throughout Phil Cook’s entire repertoire. ![]() The next song, Now That I Know, continues the mellow vibe momentum but also awakens the energy of the listener with raging guitar solos. He Gives Us All His Love winds down the energy a bit with slow grooving guitar melodies and a hypnotizing drumbeat. The guitar melody in the beginning foreshadows the vocal melody which makes the song that much more enticing. Song four, Another Mother’s Son, is one of the big highlights on this album with its memorable melody and powerful energetic rhythm and soul. A memorable moment on this track is the call and answer vocal structure at the end, which beautifully blends both of their vocal ranges and tones together. Miles Away features Sylvan Esso’s Amelia Meath on gorgeous, outstanding back-up vocals. A slight tempo increase towards the middle of the song creates the change that sparks more rock and roll spirit into the song. Song two, Tide Of Life, begins with a hypnotizing, anticipating groove that keeps the mellow vibe strong. The building, relaxed jam in the beginning of the song truly makes the powerful, upbeat and energized ending. The opening track Steam Powered Blues sets the perfect mood for the rest of the album. This shredding master on guitar and keyboard wiz has brought a lot of heart and soul into this record and the result is an absolute five star masterpiece. As a follow-up to his debut album Southland Mission, Cook reaches new levels on this record that blends together all of his early gospel and blues influences with his already flourished rock and roll style.

The folk revival of the 60s saw an extremely brief yet powerful ignition of influence from Ireland which put an impression on the international map. It was previously mentioned that there was never a cultural revolution or renaissance as a result of constant turmoil in the country, but the events in 1916 helped to inspire a plethora of folk music which endured through the decades and acted as a cultural pillar. But what does all this historic bloodshed have to do with the music of Erin? Simply put, everything! Ireland was in a continued state of guerilla warfare between paramilitary groups until 1998, when the Good Friday Agreement allowed for a truce between the sides. This atmosphere would pervade the entire century during a period referred to as “the Troubles”, where Republicans attempted to liberate Northern Ireland and loyalists backed by the British retaliated to the attacks. Between the constant fighting, a divide formed between the different cultural groups of Ireland, with Catholic Republicans and Protestant Loyalists constantly at ends with one another. Even when peace finally followed after a decade of bloodshed, tensions were still present. The failed Easter Sunday rebellion would also result in continued skirmishes over the next 3 years across Ireland, ultimately leading up to the Irish-Anglo war of independence (1919-1921) and the Irish Civil War (1922-1923). Though the attempts to liberate the country were crushed by British forces, the soldiers who were executed for their actions would live on as focal points for years to come in song and story, as seen through Yeats’ poem. This all changed at the inception of the 21st century during World War I, when around 1,200 rebels took a stand to take the country for their own at the General Post Office in Dublin.Ī storm brewing for some time, the attempt for independence in 1916 was the culmination of Irish republicanism which had been steadily building for generations, through spoken word, story, and music. The reason Irish music seems so antiquated and folky is because of a history which has never really had any point of cultural enlightenment or renaissance.įor most of its existence, Ireland was a cultural and social backwater on the fringes of Europe, a war-torn country volatile with corruption, famine, and rebellion. “Now and in time to be, wherever green is worn, are changed, changed utterly: A terrible beauty is born.” The legendary closing lines of William Butler Yeats’ final stanza from his poignant memorial poem, Easter, 1916, captured a glimpse of the Emerald Isle’s turning point between a tortured history and an imminent cloudy future. ![]() But what Irish music is out there, aside from U2 (I know, yuck) and the Cranberries, and why does it sound so hokey for the most part? Maybe if you’re feeling dicey you may even want to have your hand at listening to some Irish music. It helps that the major qualifications to celebrate the day are pretty menial – to adorn something green, prepare some bad traditional Irish food, and enjoy some Irish Whiskey or Guinness (that is if you are of age). This is, of course, Saint Patrick’s Day, or more colloquially referred to as “St. Whether you’re Irish-Catholic or not, chances are that you’re probably familiar with or have celebrated the feast day of the patron saint of Ireland, Patrick, on March 17th. The ground is covered in white, but the rapidly approaching holiday seems to be universally known as a time for green. ![]() Dublin Natives “Villagers” (Pictured Above) |
