![]() ![]() These are the films we go to when we want an uncut dose of that kinetic-cinema rush. ![]() Not all it-blowed-up-real-good films are created equal, however, so we’re shouting out the 50 best action movies of all time - the crème de la crème of martial arts flicks, bullet ballets, men-on-a-mission adventures, swashbucklers, superhero franchises, sci-fi spectacles, wuxia epics, and a whole lot more. And once the Age of the Blockbuster really kicks into gear in the early 1980s, you couldn’t throw a rock at a multiplex without hitting something that hyped up the “motion” into motion pictures. thrills, chills and spills, has been a main attraction of the medium for decades. Action has been a part of the movies since the days of Keystone Kops and mustache-twirling villains tying up heroines on railroads tracks you could even argue that the Lumiere brothers’ short of a train pulling into the station, which allegedly caused audiences to scream and flee the room, was the world’s first example of an action movie. It helps, of course, if you throw in a few explosions, several car chases, some knockdown mano a mano fistfights, a smattering of kung fu and any number of swordfights as well. All you need to make a movie, a wise French man once said, is a girl and a gun. ![]() Flex competed with Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) and Microsoft Silverlight during its tenure. Flex introduced new user interface components, advanced data visualization components, data remoting, and a modern IDE (Flash Builder). In 2004, Macromedia Flex was released, and specifically targeted the application development market. Such Web-based applications eventually became known as "Rich Internet Applications" and later "Rich Web Applications". Rich Internet Applications Īfter Flash 5 introduced ActionScript in 2000, developers combined the visual and programming capabilities of Flash to produce interactive experiences and applications for the Web. In 2015, YouTube switched to HTML5 technology on most devices by default however, YouTube supported the Flash-based video player for older web browsers and devices until 2017. In 2016, Google discontinued Swiffy and its support. In 2015, Google introduced Google Swiffy, a tool that converted Flash animation to HTML5, which Google used to automatically convert Flash web ads for mobile devices. After a controversy with Apple, Adobe stopped developing Flash Player for Mobile, focusing its efforts on Adobe AIR applications and HTML5 animation. In 2007, YouTube offered videos in HTML5 format to support the iPhone and iPad, which did not support Flash Player. After Adobe introduced hardware-accelerated 3D for Flash ( Stage3D), Flash websites saw a growth of 3D content for product demonstrations and virtual tours. Notable users include Nike, Hewlett-Packard (more commonly known as HP), Nokia, General Electric, World Wildlife Fund, HBO, Cartoon Network, Disney, and Motorola. īetween 20, numerous businesses used Flash-based websites to launch new products, or to create interactive company portals. In 2005, YouTube was founded by former PayPal employees, and it used Adobe Flash Player as a means to display compressed video content on the web. In the early 2000s, Flash was widely installed on desktop computers, and was often used to display interactive web pages and online games, and to play video and audio content. Adobe continues to develop Adobe Animate, which supports web standards such as HTML5 instead of the Flash format. The Flash Player was deprecated in 2017 and officially discontinued at the end of 2020 for all users outside mainland China, as well as non-enterprise users, with many web browsers and operating systems scheduled to remove the Flash Player software around the same time. ![]() Following an open letter written by Steve Jobs in 2010 stating that he would not approve the use of Flash on Apple's iOS devices due to numerous security flaws, use of Flash declined as Adobe transitioned to the Adobe AIR platform. Instead, Flash found a niche as the dominant platform for online multimedia content, particularly for browser games. Adobe AIR enables full-featured desktop and mobile applications to be developed with Flash and published for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch.įlash was initially used to create fully-interactive websites, but this approach was phased out with the introduction of HTML5. Programmers can implement Flash software using an IDE such as Adobe Animate, Adobe Flash Builder, Adobe Director, FlashDevelop, and Powerflasher FDT. The ActionScript programming language allows the development of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Adobe Flash Lite enabled viewing Flash content on older smartphones, but since has been discontinued and superseded by Adobe AIR. Adobe Flash Player (which is available on Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux) enables end users to view Flash content using web browsers. End users view Flash content via Flash Player (for web browsers), Adobe AIR (for desktop or mobile apps), or third-party players such as Scaleform (for video games). Software developers may produce applications and video games using Adobe Flash Builder, FlashDevelop, Flash Catalyst, or any text editor combined with the Apache Flex SDK. It allows streaming of audio and video, and can capture mouse, keyboard, microphone, and camera input.Īrtists may produce Flash graphics and animations using Adobe Animate (formerly known as Adobe Flash Professional). outside ChinaĪdobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash and FutureSplash) is a multimedia software platform used for production of animations, rich internet applications, desktop applications, mobile apps, mobile games, and embedded web browser video players.įlash displays text, vector graphics, and raster graphics to provide animations, video games, and applications. Active only for enterprise users and all users in China, discontinued everywhere else, i.e. ![]() It is derived from the two greek words, ἐννέα (ennea) which translates to nine, and γράμμα (gramma) which translates to written or drawn (3). Furthermore, when the word for the principle is derived from an ancient language it can masquerade as a lost divine ancient principle, a level of knowledge that can simply be put into practice, as it was once used in the past. In other words, they are subverted in a psychological sense to think that the complicated word in itself gives the principle authority. Therefore the person who is seeking this knowledge is enchanted by the word itself. Like much of New Age/Occultic dogma, abstract gnostic principles try to obtain credibility from “divinely” contrived names meaning that the more complicated the name of the principle, the higher level of knowledge it imparts. Think about it, in order for knowledge to sound mystical, perhaps even given from the gods, shouldn’t it sound complex and bewildering? The word “Enneagram” in itself is intriguingly named. The very definitions of God, Self, Sin, and even Jesus are different than orthodox Christianity (we will dive into this in a different blog post). Yet they would state that we do not harness all aspects of this image, therefore we all have a “false self” but through the Enneagram, you have the ability to have a path back to the “true self,” that you can be reunited with this “Divine Love” and transform your consciousness." (2)ĭo not be fooled, analyzing the Enneagram through the lens of the Christian worldview is a good tool to provide a critique to this practice, but it should not be used in a way to legitimize it. ![]() The popular proponents of the Enneagram in Christian circles would detail the nine numbers as all sections of the image of God given in humanity. The goal of the Enneagram is as Richard Rohr writes, “If you could look out at reality from nine pairs of eyes and honor all of them, you would be looking at reality through the eyes of God.” (1) Each number represents a trait of personality (as seen in the image) or a trait of the “self” as a whole. The Enneagram is a circle with nine points that are interconnected with lines. Concentrate on learning the systems, getting more class books made (scrap every book and schematic you don't need for pages), upping your armor and weaponry and getting a garden in. That's a later game thing, though, and right now, you're at the best place you can be. It must be at 100% or you'll still suffer from radiation damage. You can wear a radiation suit, pieces dropped rarely from radiation suit wearing zombies and sometimes sold at traders, or make mods to put into your armor that will negate the radiation. The radiation in the wasteland must be addressed or you'll die. Melee for everything even remotely easier. but, I do know that it takes a LOT of bullets to put down those harder zombies and I save my bullets for that. Being able to be mobile helps since you can draw them away from your base to get them dead if you've not been so masochistic that you've turned their run speed to crazy and you are willing to wear light armor. You'll want to get to concrete then steel as soon as you can and spend as little time as necessary in your base. Those guys are pretty good at just melting through blocks with fist attacks. Then, realize that demo zombies, zombie bears and dogs, rads, cops and other assorted fun will come in some of the twice daily hordes as well as night stalkers and, later, behemoths and demons. Consider a perimeter wall, dig a ditch, one block or two blocks wide around your wall, and fill that thing with those cone shaped wooden spikes. It reduces the buildup of area activity meaning that screamers will show up a bit less often. Also, always, always, always crouch when hammering, and, especially, when breaking down anything metal. It's absolutely possible! For one thing, the closer to the town/city you are, the more wandering zombies of higher 'level' will be about. Remember, start again! You can do that as often as you want! You'll be much happier if you take the time to watch several You Tube players and then consider what they may be doing right and what they're doing just to garner thumbsup. Be careful, stealthy and watchful until you have decent armor and weapons. Be careful who you watch on You Tube and keep in mind that they are doing what they're doing as ENTERTAINMENT! Normal players will never play the way they play. He's strengthened the wall a good bit making defense easier, but the zombies can and will break in if you are not attentive and use your materials wisely.ĭarkness Falls is a tremendous way to play 7 Days to Die. anyway.Īlso, FIND your trader! Their base can be camped in, but you'll need to defend them. Most are fairly cool though there are a few. Get into his discord and read all the FAQs, ask questions and talk to those guys. You need to carefully determine which profession you want to start with and DO THOSE QUESTS. He worked hard to include the changes for DF into the player's journal. If you have to, turn zombies off for a couple of days and just READ READ READ your journal. not only that, but start out at lower difficulty and get acquainted with how things work, the way you're supposed to. Remember what I said about the game ramping up very fast? Well, do yourself a favor and TURN THE FERAL SENSE OFF.

In a reply tweet to their teaser, Crytek says “we’re excited to announce we’re working on the 4th installment in the Crysis series” and that it wants “you to join us on our journey and become the hero you were destined to be.” That tweet shares a link to a blog post with more information about the upcoming sequel.
