![]() ![]() This was essential for racking up a high score. The game had a bonus system for taking down multiple enemies with a single charged blast (the little “HIT +x” that pops up). The most important part of the memorization, however, was knowing when to take down as many enemies at once for a high bonus. Often, you had to fly/drive through a specific area of the screen (like the arches on Corneria), which would cause a group of otherwise hidden enemies to pop up. Just as important was knowing how to trigger certain enemies to appear. Sometimes knowing when/where enemies would appear was crucial, so you could quickly take them out on the edge of screen. Like any classic Shmup, the enemies in Star Fox 64 always appeared at specific times, and followed specific patterns. The key to my success in the game was memorization, plain and simple. Thankfully, he had never been able to top it. In the end, my best score was an impressive 1760. I even fell into a annoying tendency to restart a run if my score in the first few levels didn’t meet my expectations, causing it to take several hours to actually finish an “acceptable” run. I would continue to play at least one run per day (at least, when I didn’t have another new game to play), on a neverending quest for higher scores. I made sure to take the top score back (and immediately informed him that I did so, and what initials I used), and proceeded to wipe out all of his remaining scores from the top 10, which effectively removed any traces that he had ever played. However, I made the mistake of putting the initials “HAH” for my high score instead of my initials, so a few weeks after I returned the game to him, he claimed that he was the one that got that score! Filled with rage, I borrowed the game again, and became even more of an expert at it. I first aimed to beat his high score, which took me several weeks. That was when I became obsessed with the game, playing several runs in a day, continually perfecting my skills and memorizing enemy patterns. A few years after the game came out, I convinced him to let me borrow it for a while. Luckily, I would often wake up early in the morning after a birthday party or sleepover, so I would get to play through the entire game, although it was with the sound muted. It's the space battles that this really shines though try out the suicide run through Venom's orbital defences in Area 6 with the 3D Slider on full and you'll experience a space battle that outperforms the entirety of Star Wars Episodes I - III for thrills.My schoolmate Chris was actually the one who owned the game, and I tried to play single-player at his house whenever I had the chance. Like Zelda there's been graphical nips and tucks too Corneria City is no longer quite the bland eyesore and boasts General Pepper billboards, while the multi-ship dogfight above Katina's allied base is against the backdrop of an impressive blood red sunset. Star Fox's rapid-fire assault against waves of enemies and huge bosses even more enjoyable due to the new depth of field. Avoid being spotted by enemy searchlights in a night time attack, down a mothership before it annihilates an allied feels entirely organic to the story and surprise benefits in criss-crossing certain routes mean there's plenty of replay value to make sure you've seen everything the game has to offer.ĭespite its fourteen years of age, the game seems custom-built for the 3DS experience. These aren't clumsily signposted but form natural challenges within each stage's objectives derail a train by activating line switches or face a gigantic boss that comes folding out of the carriage like a winged transformer. The map across the galaxy is multi-branched, your route charted by your success or failures in each stage. ![]() There's no selectable difficulty from the start in the game. It's in way a chore, though you need lightning reflexes and memory skills come later levels.īut campaign isn't dead in the water come your initial clock through, offering a neat incentive that demands repeated plays. Score Attack mode is the real meat of Star Fox, requiring you to memorise attack patterns to earn combo hits, and opening up as separate Leaderboard-pursuing mode once you've cracked into the main game to let you replay those stages already completed. Stacked alongside a library of originals, Star Fox was paradoxically unique. Star Fox is an oddity in Nintendo's catalogue, riffing as it does on popular culture - epic space battles of Star Wars, inter-squadron banter of Top Gun minus the homoerotic overtones - and applying a side order of Score Attack mechanics - common of the genre but not of a Nintendo title - to guarantee longevity over a campaign that can be aced in an hour. You'd feel the need to grumble a bit louder if the remakes dominating the 3DS release schedule weren't so damn good. ![]()

Compare this draft to the one on page 50 of Madelyn van der Hoogt’s Complete Book of Drafting.Īnother use for the colored blocks is help in creating profile drafts from overshot drafts. You can look at the balance of the draft by looking for the color balance, figure 2.įigure 4. For example if you add ends to the larger red blocks, you should also add the same number of ends to the larger yellow blocks. Do this by adding or subtracting pairs of ends to each blocks. It is also easy to see how to enlarge or miniaturize the draft. Once you have the blocks identified you can manipulate the draft to suit your project. This mirrors the tabby at the turning points. The number of colored ends at turning blocks is even, the number of ends for non-turning blocks is odd. To weave as drawn in: Look at the number of ends of each color and enter that number of weft picks for the block. Weave-as-drawn-in blocks will produce a draft in star fashion. One repeat is colored and the treadling is added. The ‘weave-as-drawn-in’ weft treadling uses each block the same number of times as the colors appear in the threading.įigure 3. You can also see the mirror points quite easily. The color helps you to see the relative size of the blocks and the balance/unbalance in the draft.

Repeat the threading and color only one repeat. So here is a on screen method for identifying blocks.įinding blocks to create Tromp-as-Writ/Weave as Drawn In ‘block’ treadling:Ĭolor blocks: Instead of circling the blocks – use color. Drafts with ‘pine’ in the name are often unbalanced.įinding the blocks in an overshot threading/treadling is useful for several reasons. Check for symmetry around mirror points and balance draft if desired.This will catch some typing errors and is a good first check. Use copy and paste and mirror paste when useful. Enter one repeat and then repeat using repeat in software.It is easiest to type numbers to create the threading draft. Enter threading using keyboard shortcuts.Change the number of picks in some of the blocks to square design. Change the size of the tabby so that more/fewer ends will help square the pattern. Sometimes you can not make the design wider due to limitations of loom size. The sett can be adjusted to make it easier to weave a square design. The final samples must be tested at full width. Squaring a Design or making circles instead of ovals. In weaving overshot, I often need to adjust the weaving in order to square the design. In order to make the blocks appear symmetrical even with the spreading pattern ends - use an even number of pattern picks in turning blocks (or mirror points in the threading.) ![]() In the blue overshot above the pattern weft is larger and hides the differences. Here the pattern weft is smaller in comparison to the tabby. The orange sample is linen and in a handwoven cloth from Estonia. In the Blue overshot sample above you do not see this occurring. When weaving overshot, you may notice that sometimes the edges of blocks have pattern picks that spread apart or are snuggled together.

Maybe you should do a little tour starting at Mickey's place -), to Astérix, then Bellewaerde, Bobbejaanland and then Six Flags Holland. I still don't get the ending of the ride. Very good theme actually, but not worked out very well. He is the one who then turns the house upside down and such. You can't see the ghost, but you can see where he is (some effects). I will keep looking and will post them as soon as I can but I did shoot plenty of off ride videos of most of the roller coasters. When the monkey he tries to escape (out of the house), he rubs the lamp and a ghost comes out. There's a young guy and his monkey, who stole a magic lamp of some weird wizzard. Enter a world of magic and mystery inside the haunted estate of the most famous magician of all time, Harry Houdini. It's a blurry story, but basically the ride goes as follows: "Zan-Zar's Magic Chamber" is the name of the madhouse at Six Flags Belgium. Today, children from the big cities don't even know what a cow is for example and such interactive and educating "attractions" are a great addition to any park. The other parks are all different too, but I liked the fact that Drayton, Chessington and Thorpe all have a zoo/farm too. I was impressed by the size of Alton Towers and the theme of their hotel (yes, I stayed at the Alton Towers Hotel for a night) I also visited Chessington, Alton Towers, Drayton Manor and Blackpool. ![]() Great place to stay for a while and have a hotdog or something. I like the boats too, the ones that transport you to the Thorpe Farm. The entrance is cool, it's like you're going onto an island. ![]() How did you find the UK? Did you like Thorpe Park? That's my local park. I did Movie World a few months ago, and want to do Port Aventura before the season ends. I keep wanting to go on trips to Europe, but with the ECC they're all a bit pricey at the moment, so I'm trying to do my own trips. I will make sure that I visit both Bellewaerde and Bobbejaanland next season. I haven't done Merlin (they were still building it when I visited), and wanted to do the one at Six Flags Belgium, but it was sadly closed. I like some of the effects on Hotel Embarjo at Movie World (there's an animatronic and a great effect right at the start), but it has no music and is very bare other than that. The room is very well themed, and the effects (especailly when 'upside-down') are excellent. Okay maybe this is a little wild, but my brother and I (he is almost 19, I'm 20) both remember being at Six Flags during Press J to jump to the feed. Have you done Villa Volta? The room on this one is beautiful. Two others, Houdini - The Great Escape (Six Flags New England, U.S.A. Regarding Houdini, I agree that the room is very bare. Houdinis Great Escape is one of four Madhouses with the same theme. I will make sure I visit those - will have to get the map out and see how I can best do a European tour. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meditation feels pointless, because my lack of mental imagery already gives me a clear mind It’s vital that I take pictures so that my memory is preserved, and admittedly I don’t do this enough. I fear that, as I get older, my memories will fade completely, and I’ll be rendered with an informal form of amnesia. When I think of this lack, I become scared. I’m unable to visually summon the appearances of people I know and places I’ve been. My ability to recall memories is diminished. It’s like missing a sense, akin to sight or hearing.Īphantasia presents some difficulties. I felt saddened, because I am essentially missing out on such a basic human experience. As much as I had no understanding for an active mind’s eye, they had no understanding of my darkness. My experience seemed alien to them, and some reported that their capacity for visualising was a big part of their understanding of life. When I described my darkness, people were utterly shocked. Once I discovered my aphantasia, I proceeded to tell friends and family about my condition. I dream in words, ideas, feelings and verbal knowledge of circumstances. ![]() Yet I also experience darkness while I sleep. Note that most people with aphantasia are still able to dream with visual imagery. When told to ‘count sheep’ while falling asleep, we don’t realise that people can actually see sheep jumping over a fence. When told to ‘imagine a beach’, we assume that it merely means to imagine the concept of a beach. This lack of knowledge is largely rooted in our use of language as a substitute. Many of us with aphantasia don’t realise that we have this condition. I disclosed my experience on AVEN, and members started talking about aphantasia. Over the years, I have experienced a lot of confusion about sexuality, given that it’s highly rooted in the capacity to visually summon arousing images in the mind. I found out about my aphantasia while browsing message boards on the Asexuality Visibility Education Network (AVEN). The condition is estimated to affect 2 per cent of people. A study by the psychologists Rebecca Keogh and Joel Pearson at the University of New South Wales in Sydney showed that unaffected persons have more activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain in comparison to those with aphantasia. ![]() For most of us, aphantasia is a congenital condition, but others develop it following a brain injury. In his writings, Zeman explains that voluntary imagery is generated in fronto-parietal and in posterior brain regions, ascribing vividness to biological differences from one person to the next. The term ‘aphantasia’ itself was coined only recently, in 2015, by Adam Zeman, professor of cognitive and behavioural neurology at the University of Exeter. I have no sensory experience.Īphantasia has likely existed throughout our evolution, but it wasn’t documented until 1880, when Francis Galton asked people to imagine a breakfast table and, based on their reports, noted that the vividness of the scene in the mind’s eye occurred on a spectrum. When I close my eyes, I experience only darkness. While most people are able to ‘see’ images associated with stories and thoughts when their eyes are closed, I have never had this gift. I have aphantasia, a neurological condition that leaves me with a ‘blind mind’s eye’: the inability to mentally visualise my thoughts. ![]() ![]() ![]() We obtained data from the following sources: 1) total benzodiazepine prescriptions from SDI Health’s (formerly Verispan) VONA, July 2007 to June 2008 and 2) July 2007 to June 2008 data from SDI Health’s Prescription Drug and Diagnosis Audit (PDDA) regarding products used to treat anxiety (ICD-9 diagnosis code 300).
