![]() For instance, after completing a group assignment, ask your peers for suggestions on how to improve on your next project. In fact, the strongest team players solicit feedback from their coworkers. So, instead of getting defensive when you receive constructive criticism, see what you can glean from their advice. That means honing your listening skills and being receptive to feedback from co-workers. Part of being a team player is being open to other people's ideas and perspectives. Reliability is especially important during group projects after all, if you miss a deadline, your mistake can negatively affect the entire team. That means, if you say you're going to do something, you can be trusted to do it and do it well. Put simply: You want to establish yourself as trustworthy-someone who produces high-quality work in a timely fashion to meet deadlines. To earn your coworkers' goodwill, you have to be reliable. So how do you go about working well with others? Check out these seven ways to be a great team player. Plus, you have trusted people you can fall back on for support, which means there's less stress resting solely on your shoulders, which means you're freer to take smart risks. Teamwork brings together different points of view and allows for creativity and fresh ideas to flourish. That's because teamwork isn't just good for company morale during these trying times, it also sets you up for greater success at your job (promotion, anyone?). According to the Monster Future of Work: 2021 Outlook survey, employers chose teamwork/collaboration as the second most important skill a candidate should have, preceded by dependability. To be a great team player, you obviously have to be able to work with a diverse group of people. Want to do your part? To boost your own profile (and reap the rewards), first you must be a team player and help others succeed. Now more than ever, it's evident that teamwork is important and workers around the world have to stick together. Want to get ahead at work? Help others first.

Installing the collection has never taken a small amount of time but with Nero's latest the process seemed like a lifetime. ![]() ![]() So you will benefit from the same disc burning quality with Nero BurningROM, recode discs with Nero Recode, make movies with Nero Vision, relax with Nero Home, view your pictures in Nero PhotoSnap Viewer and edit them in PhotoSnap, play favorite DVD-Video with Nero ShowTime, edit music with Nero WaveEditor, create covers for discs in CoverDesigner or save important data with BackItUp. With regards to the major applications there is absolutely no change: none of them were taken out and nothing has been added. All of them are uniquely defined by their icons and to be frank it is much better this way. The organizing in Windows Start menu is also changed and the applications are no longer broken into categories, save for those in Toolkit and the manuals. The truth is that the moment Vista broke out into the market imposing new cosmetic standards, Nero was in urgent need for aesthetic surgery. One of them is visible from the start: the interface of all the programs has been modified to integrate with Windows Vista. The list of applications included in the suite is not much changed but there are some improvements, though. ![]() Not too much of a price, especially that they are also throwing in another latest Nero suite, Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced (OMG, I think my tongue needs a splint) for free. Nero 8 Ultra Edition can be pre-ordered from their website at a price of $79.99. We bought the product and tested it on our computers just to see what the fuss is all about and be among the first to witness the power of the newest Nero edition. So Nero 8 is due to come out on the market a week from today, but, as you probably know the retail version is already available in BestBuy shops and on shady torrent trackers. ![]() This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.
![]() You can only tackle them via a rigid series of encounters repeated from tribe to tribe and base to base whether you’re trying to unite the tribes or conquer them. There’s no real flexibility when it comes to conquering outposts – and invisible walls will stop you if you try to come at it from another angle. Either way, the enemy base conquest mission thread quickly unfurls to reveal that it’s largely just a series of repeated sequences and recycled vignettes. Choosing a tribe to ally with locks you into certain goals: uniting or conquering the tribes, and either saving the Tree of Life or letting it die. ![]() As a meathead with an aversion to magic I opted for a Commando build for a focus on firepower and ended up with a character that looked a bit like Sylvester Stallone’s cat after an exclusive diet of plutonium-laced Fancy Feast and Rambo movies – but if you want some kind of pink, warlock mouse, Biomutant has your back.Īfter it walked me through its linear intro and deposited me into the open world, Biomutant seems to spin its wheels a bit. Additionally, there are a bunch of available character classes that will define your avatar’s initial appearance. The clever character creation system is a bit like a genetic dartboard, automatically adjusting your hero’s appearance depending on what core stats you want to bolster before diving in. The first several hours are probably the worst offenders, even though it’s engaging at first. The key disappointment is that the structure of the actual game that all these ingredients have been injected into is anything but unique, with objectives and tasks overtly recycled or riffed upon mission after mission. It’s certainly the only open-world post-post-apocalyptic kung fu action RPG starring anthropomorphic animals I’ve ever played. To its credit, the way Biomutant fuses all its components together has resulted in something that is actually unique, at least broadly speaking. That last one is probably fairly self-explanatory. Horizon is far from the only influence on Biomutant, though, because it appears to scrape inspiration from a wide assortment of sources, from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s extreme temperature zones to the seemingly infinite array of weapon combinations of Borderlands, and from Devil May Cry’s cocktail of gun combat and hack ’n slash to… Kung Fu Panda. If you’re thinking that trekking around a vibrant and varied open world filled with strange creatures and primitive civilisations trying to stave off a second Armageddon sounds a little similar to Sony’s esteemed Horizon: Zero Dawn, you’re on the right track Horizon: Zero Dawn with rodents isn’t exactly the worst description for Biomutant.
So it was an interesting move for the franchise to use this chance at resurrection to remind people that “X-Files” was about more than aliens and the search for “the truth” it was about something weird happening, and two very smart and attractive people figuring out what exactly that was. “The X-Files” is actually fascinating in this way, for on a historical level, it was television that bridged the gap between traditional procedurals and the sequential narratives that began rising in popularity in the late 1990s. In fact, it was specifically meant to emulate not the show’s ongoing and complicated alien conspiracy storyline, but the standalone “monster of the week” horror episodes that might not have advanced major plotlines, but are often remembered more fondly by fans. Evil is thwarted, and Mulder and Scully live to investigate another day.īeyond a few key details, the above plotline would not have felt extremely out of place as an episode of the show. In classic “X-Files” tradition, Mulder does so by basically blundering his way into the bad guys’ lair and getting captured, followed by a fortuitous rescue by Scully. ![]() But the real incentive for Mulder is to escape the boredom of solitude and solve the mystery, which ends up boiling down to a man trying to Frankenstein his paralyzed husband a new (female?) body. Mulder’s erstwhile partner in life, Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson), has quit the FBI to become a pediatric doctor and tells him that, according to the FBI, “all is forgiven” if he comes back to help solve this case. Here’s the basic plot of the movie: An FBI agent has gone missing, and the circumstances of the case are weird enough for the FBI to track down Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny), once one of the Bureau’s most brilliant if “out there” agents who is now basically hiding from the authorities after that thing where he maybe murdered a guy and also technically committed treason. Which means it’s the seventh anniversary of many people realizing that not only was “The X-Files” a franchise that had aged beyond its prime, but maybe it should have remained silent since its unofficial end.Īnd that was actually really hard to face, for any fan of the series: The realization that Chris Carter, given the opportunity to tell a new story in the universe he created, featuring characters beloved by millions, would tell this story. ![]() ![]() This weekend marks the seventh anniversary of the film “I Want to Believe,” which itself came out six years after what we then called the series finale of the show about two FBI agents investigating the paranormal. But there are two types of “X-Files” fans in the world right now: The fans who freaked out with the official announcement, who look toward January 2016 with nothing but untempered enthusiasm… and the fans who saw, and remember, the franchise’s last on-screen adventure, “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.” ![]() The keyboard keys are Q, W, E, A, D, Z, X, C for moving and either S or Space for attacking. ![]() In this case one player will play on the left side of the keyboard and the other player with the numeric keys. If you want to play in the two-player mode you need to select the Joystick as your input device. We were already hosting parts I and III of this series, so I thought we should have this, the second part, too.įirst off let me just tell you that this game supports a two-player mode (although it seems a very strange way to activate it). The Game Boy version of "Double Dragon II" is an English localization of a "Kunio-kun" game (the Japanese franchise which inspired "Renegade" and "River City Ransom" and has nothing to do with the arcade and NES versions. Unlike the first NES game, it offered 2-Player Co-Op gameplay with the option to turn off the friendly fire. The NES version offered new stages, new moves and illustrated cut-scenes, as well as a new final boss and a new ending. In addition to offering renewed audio and visuals, as well as new traps, moves and enemy characters, "Double Dragon II" discarded the conventional punch and kick buttons in favor of a direction-oriented attacking system similar to the original Technos beat-em-up Renegade. ![]() The original arcade version of "Double Dragon II" was essentially an improved version of the first game. The Dragons must now embark on a mission to avenge her death and defeat the Black Warriors for the second and final time. The lovely Marian was rescued from the clutches of the Black Warriors gang by Billy & Jimmy Lee in the first Double Dragon game, but now the gang has killed her in retaliation of their early defeat. ![]() One mission has you destroying stashes of drugs. Use of innuendo and a short make out scene reference pillow talk and getting laid.ĭrug references are also present. ![]() Use of mild language such as: "b#!ch", "d!ck", "goddamn", "damn" and stronger ones like "$h!t" can be heard. Language is occasional throughout the story. A character can get choked to death, enemies can get impaled by the superpowers, you can cause a lot of destruction to the environment. Blood is mostly seen when drug dealers are battling it out with cops. Usually you'll barely even see any blood. Use of superpowers against enemies can result in epic battles, a lot of violence, but very mild blood. You can kill bad guys or subdue them, your choice. You can play as the bad guy or the superhero, the world is your sandbox. The game's overall content could last you 8+ hours but most side missions are repetitive compared to those from the previous games. The main character may be cool to some but not the best in terms of character development. This review was mainly for parents to understand that ERSB might have slipped up while rating the game, so that you don’t make the same mistakes my dad and I made when we purchased this form of entertainment. I would recommend this fun and exciting game to any teenager because the language is the only problem, and without the language it is a good game with morals (if you play the hero.) It has amazing graphics, but foul language. I hope this review will help you understand that Infamous Second Son is a fun open world third person game, that has both upsides and downsides. When good, you have a harder challenge - you must protect the citizens (ACTIVIST) from danger while trying to only subdue the enemies (which I find to be more difficult.) I would recommend playing the good side with younger audiences, such as a 12 or 13 year-old. When evil, you try to cause as much pain and destruction as possible. The reason you have options to either kill or subdue enemies is because the game works off a karma system. You can press triangle during gameplay to toggle subtitles if you want to read what they’re saying. Then, look through the options menu until you reach dialogue, and turn it all the way down. Next, press the triangle button (this is also how to manually save the game). Now back to the dialogue, in order to turn off all talking (there is no “foul language off” command, only a absolute no talking option.) pause the Infamous Second son game. The second scene, however is not nearly as violent. ![]() There are two scenes where you kill someone though, but the first scene is the worst because you suffocate someone’s father. While fighting them, you can either choose to execute the enemy, or subdue them. Throughout the game, you will fight two different types of enemies: the D.U.P. ![]() Not only does the game have language, but some it also contains violence. If you are strict about language there is an option to turn dialogue off completely. On the other hand, please, do not be afraid to get this for a teenager. The language is really bad in the beginning of the game, yet it is limited to the S word, the D word, the B word, and some other one’s I might not have have caught. I have beaten the game once and I am currently trying to finish it a second time, and there is a LOT of language in it.
Jokes about Sotheby’s aside, Sarowitz sees the attention as good for his business, and good exposure for film posters as art. ![]() “It’s big news we’ve been following hopefully the thing won’t shred once it’s sold!” Undoubtedly one of the finest posters produced during this groundbreaking era in Hollywood, and the single best-preserved example to ever come to market, The Mummy is an invaluable cultural artifact.Sam Sarowitz, author of Translating Hollywood: The World of Movie Posters and owner of Posteritati, a high-end boutique of original posters in Lower Manhattan, is excited. The Mummy was unique in utilizing ambiance and aesthetics to create a sense of foreboding, rather than relying on thrill-inducing gimmicks, which makes the poster such a landmark piece of design. The film married the vogue for all things Egyptian with the allure of the supernatural, providing a snapshot of the nation’s interests. Released ten years after the discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb, The Mummy is not only an emblem of cinematic history but a relic of popular culture from the time. Posters from this era played a key role in horror films’ impact, defining the images that would haunt audiences and loom in the cultural memory. These movies tapped into the fears and societal unrest between the World Wars, using Hollywood magic to transport audiences to fantastical worlds where good fought evil. Universal set the template for horror as we know it with a trio of films: The Mummy, Frankenstein and Dracula. As silent movies gave way to ‘talkies’, horror films employed all the latest technological innovations to craft movies that shocked and provoked. This period, known as the ‘Golden Age of Horror,’ ushered in a new genre of cinema and approach to marketing movies. After setting the auction record at Sotheby’s in 1997, the present example was included in the 1999 exhibition ‘The American Century: Art and Culture 1900-2000’ at the Whitney Museum of American Art.Īmong collectors, the posters for horror films of the 1930s are revered as the most desirable of all. Given the ephemeral nature of posters from this era - most were pasted over or discarded after a film’s run - The Mummy poster on offer is incredibly rare: it is one of only three examples known to exist and remains in its original, unbacked state. ![]() Depicting Boris Karloff in the title role that cemented his place as a film icon, and Zita Johann, the subject of his mummy’s desire, the poster was exclusively created for theaters’ promotional purposes and never made available to the public. Sotheby’s will exhibit the work in their New York galleries from 14 - 18 October.ĭesigned by Karoly Grosz, Universal’s advertising art director, the poster is an early representation of the aesthetics that continue to influence poster design to this day: vivid, painterly splashes of color, a dynamic composition, and minimal white space. The Mummy reemerges at Sotheby’s this month with an estimate of $1/1.5 million, which would once again earn it record status. The present poster last sold at Sotheby’s New York in 1997 for $453,500 - at the time marking a world auction record for a single film poster, a title it held until 2014. Bidding is now open and will close on Halloween, 31 October. A seminal example of the graphic design pioneered by Hollywood studios during their ‘Golden Age of Horror’, this stone lithograph will be offered in a single-lot, online-only auction this month. ![]() New York-Sotheby’s presents the opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most highly-coveted film posters in existence: an original 1932 film poster for the horror classic The Mummy starring Boris Karloff.
