![]() ![]() Think about it, what's the point right? They don't have the resources to work on it, so the freeze seems pointless. If they wanted it complete, they wouldn't be requesting a development freeze for the next 2 odd years while this legal battle rages on. If Take-Two doesn't manage to prevent the game from being completed, I think 50/50 are good odds right now.Īnd no, Take-Two doesn't intend to finish the game, if they win the lawsuit and the game is not in any way shippable, it will not see the light of day. if they manage to get the 2 year development freeze approved, then yes, I will say 99% chance the game is dead. Or rather, that is what I'd like to say, unfortunately Take-Two is seriously fucking things up right now. My point is, if it was cancelled they would have clearly stated that, right now, nothing is certain and I think it coming out is just as likely as it not coming out. ![]() I'm sure there are many other possibilities as well. I can't see it being a lot, but enough to get the game shippableĨ) Some sort of fund-raiser, like a prologue that costs $5-$10 or something, *SPOILER* like the segment at the beginning where Duke plays Duke3D in his mansion, there is no reason that has to be part of the main duke game, it could be sold separately as a prologue and people will buy it. I can't see them spending more on DNF so if they can't release it as-is, I don't think they'll bother, and even if they did, after 2 years of no development picking the project up again is unrealistic.ģ) George/Scott passes it to one of the developers of the Radar group along with a few people that know a lot about the game's tech and how to make content for it (this one is quite likely in my opinion assuming the legal battle doesn't freeze development over the next 2 years)Ĥ) George and the remains of 3DR slowly polishes sections of the game at this point and does electronic episode-style releases, after one release they'll be back on their feetĥ) Take-Two and 3D Realms settle out of court (this is likely as well and will get the game back into development, although I expect delays since they won't be able to get all of the good guys they had before)Ħ) Someone chooses to purchase the publishing rights from Take-Two and funds the rest of development (not likely, but not impossible, Microsoft for one would definitely throw money at this one if they can secure it as an XBOX360 exclusive, and no, they won't care if that means the controls suck).ħ) Scott decides to pour a bit more into its development. The basic possibilities I see are as follows:Ģ) Take-Two wins in 2 years and releases the game as-is (as I've stated before, games are built breadth-wise, so even if it's incomplete and buggy, it is probably still clockable at this point and I think this is all they will want - assuming they even care, they might just try and get their 12 million back and be done with DNF). Neither am I, but I still don't think the project is completely dead, there are still a few ways this can play out, so I'm going to wait and see. I never said I wasn't curious what i said was I'm not a deranged fan boy I love this emotional DNF roller coaster (don't get your knickers in a twist Lotan, Duke isn't (and never will be) an emo :) Hope for the game has increased (for me, at least) again. Lots of reasons point to this conclusion and I think this (and the Jace Hall show on Thursday) will give us lots to talk about and speculate over. ![]() I know Weider has much more insight (since he used to make this game) but now since the guy on the radio is prepared to state our speculations as fact, it seems like the positive DNF people here (hi rockmx8) may have been right (not rockmx8 btw). I now believe it was Scott who has the reigns at 3DR (although he has gone to Radar Group) and these were his decisions based on how completed the game is and how awesome it is. 3DR closed down production because of how little needs to be done to finish the game and they chose to save the game, instead of 3DR's employee's careers (as I have said before, why continue to pay for developers if they have already done the developing?). Maybe Take Two, when showed the game earlier this year, saw how much potential this game has and wanted to own ALL of this game to maximise profits. This Undead radio podcast (above) has given me the inspiration for a new theory or 'insight' (hehe):. They do have a positive outlook on DNF even after all the things happened? Hmm. ![]()

You can, however, drink with your left hand. Even if you’ve washed your left hand, it is still considered unclean. When you’re in Dubai, do not greet anyone with your left hand, do not use your left hand to pass on something especially food, do not eat with your left hand. One has to be mindful to avoid using your left hand in certain situations. Using your left hand is considered filthy in Arab culture, as it is traditionally used for “body hygiene”. Here are the don’ts for first-time tourists in Dubai: 1. Planning a vacation to Dubai and want to be fully prepared before you set foot in that country? We have listed out some of the things that you should avoid when in Dubai. By adhering to these guidelines and cultural sensitivities, you’ll have a great time without offending anyone. All you need to do is read up on the local rules and regulations. However, there’s nothing to be afraid of. If you break the law or cross the line, you can be sure to face dire consequences. What might be considered appropriate in your own country, might be inappropriate or illegal here. Just like any other country, Dubai has its own laws, beliefs, and rules. ![]() While the city is one of the most liberal, relaxed, cosmopolitan cities in the world, you still need to ensure that you’re on your right behavior. (And don't forget that taxis are cheap.Dubai, a popular tourist destination is considered to be one of the most fun and vibrant cities in the world. Although in the first place they wish you gave them a few dollars for the ride, they will most probably accept to give you a free ride, because they are friendly and love you! And don't be surprised if you got invited over to their house for dinner as well! tell them that you don't have money - and emphasize! Make sure they understood that you are not going to pay them!). So if you want to hitchhike, just wave your hand in front of a car to stop them, and ask them for a free ride (e.g. Taxis are very cheap in Iran compared to other countries.They also think of forefingers as being wealthy.(Ironically, Iranians, again for unknown reasons, tend to believe that they are the smartest people in the world!) Very complicated huh? It's probably because for unknown historical / psychological / mental / environmental / racial reasons, we think that foreigners are the superior race! (But not all of them! This is mostly true about Americans, Europeans and Australians). Iranians are known to be friendly to foreigners, especially if they are blonde or have blue eyes! Why? I don't know.The important point though, is that nobody in Iran knows about hitchhiking gesture! Therefor if a driver sees you raising your hand with that gesture, the first thing that comes to their mind before thinking that you are being rude is "Why has he raised his hand like that? What's he doing?". Yes it used to be rude, maybe in the past years (to our fathers and grandads), but I've never seen anybody use it in Iran to show anger or disrespect, unless humorously. The thumbs up gesture is extremely offensive in Iran So when someone pulls over, he is expecting you to tell your destination then they will suggest a price (often low) and if you accept it you can jump in.įinally to add something about foreigners in general, Actually Iranians are very interested in foreigners (you might often notice them gathering around you or eyeing you up LOL, just don't panic), so as a foreigner you might get free rides more (except taxis who might try to get double from you). ![]() Instead it's very popular and many people will stop to get you somewhere and take some money in return. Yet we don't use the thumbs up gesture for hitchhiking, we just hold a hand forward like you want to shake hands and optionally shaking it a little up and down for getting better attention.Īnd you should know, it's just not illegal and everyone can actually give rides to people and take money for it which makes free hitchhiking rare in Iran. Though in some outlying regions it might still mean rude which I consider totally rare. As an Iranian I like to add that cultures never stay the same and always evolve like a living creature, these days the thumbs up gesture does not really indicate anything offensive anymore.īeing kinda westernized it is now the like-gesture (you all know the source), people now often use it to show approval of what the other one said or did. ![]() ![]() Here are some large cherry blossoms with smaller ones.

Step 13: Bring All 4 Bottom Layers to the Front. ![]() You can use harmony paper to get a color change in the blossom. Similarly, you can cut the paper to have a rounded edge. Step 3:Rotate the model along the arrow to make it. Do this at step 10 before you peel open the flower. Step 2:Fold both left and right edges meet to the crease made in step1. To make a carnation from this flower, simply cut the edges of the paper with Adjust by pinching the base of the flower near where it becomes the stem. Once the creases have been set, you can then adjust how much to open or close the simple origami flower. When the flower is completely open, press down evenly along the edges of the paper to establish the creases. Peel open the flower so the inside is visible.

Start with a square sheet of paper with the color-side up.įold the paper along the diagonals (in both directions). If you place a bunch of these simple flowers together, they are like a hydrangea cluster.If you cut the edges of the paper with wavy-edge scissors, then the flower becomes a carnation.In this case, harmony paper was used to get the color change effect. Or, if you cut the edges round and color the center, the flower becomes a pansy.Without modification, it is a simple blossom.With minor variations, you can make different kinds of flowers with this easy model. If you can make a Preliminary Base, then you’ve pretty much got this flower done. This simple origami flower is easy to make and very versatile. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is caused by the fact that audio moves between the app, the operating system and the hardware audio device in chunks of data called audio buffers. When you use instrument plugins (such as the sampled instrument sounds built into n-Track such as Piano, Drums etc.) or when you monitor with headphones the audio comining into the mic, you may hear a short delay between the time when you press a key on the on-screen keyboard or drum pad and when you hear the sound. The app will emit a short burst of sound while recording the mic input, and will then try to align the original with the recorded burst. When you perform the latency calibration make sure you are in a quiet room, you disconnect any headphones and external USB audio devices or adapters, and that you turn the volume of the device all the way up.

This causes a large rotation of the posterior semicircular canal within its own plane, moving the loose otolith and reproducing the symptoms. The examiner then drops the patient back to the supine position, with the head hanging down off the stretcher 10°–30°. The patient should be asked to hold onto the examiner’s arm for stability. This aligns the posterior semicircular canal in the vertical plane. 12 The examiner holds the seated patient’s head 45° to the left or right. The most common form of BPPV, caused by an otolith in the posterior semicircular canal, is diagnosed by finding torsional nystagmus on the Dix-Hallpike test. In most cases BPPV is idiopathic, although 10% follow a bout of vestibular neuritis and 20% follow an episode of head trauma. Patients are well until a head movement, usually vertical, precipitates the paroxysm of symptoms. The paroxysms of intense symptoms lasting less than a minute are defining, as is positional provocation. 10 Patients present with brief episodes of intense vertigo, precipitated by a change in position. Central mimics of BPPV have been described, but they tend to be caused by tumors rather than strokes, and are recognized by association with other abnormalities. Finally, we will propose indications for neuroimaging.īenign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a distinct condition not typically confused with cerebellar infarction. 5 Then we will review the physical diagnosis of cerebellar infarction. This review will first address differentiation of cerebellar infarction from the four most common vertigo syndromes: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniere’s disease, migrainous vertigo, and vestibular neuritis. 4 In contrast, important physical signs are present in the majority of patients with cerebellar infarction. Resorting to computed tomography (CT) is insufficient because it is only 26% sensitive for acute stroke. Physical diagnosis is the most important diagnostic modality for cerebellar infarction. Patients with missed cerebellar infarction in general are at higher risk for complications, with a mortality rate possibly as high as 40%. 1, 2 Because the symptoms of cerebellar infarction overlap substantially with benign conditions it is commonly overlooked, with a misdiagnosis rate estimated at 35% 2. While most patients who present to emergency departments (ED) with isolated vertigo have benign disorders, approximately 0.7–3% have cerebellar infarction. ![]() |
