So, for the first five seasons - his five years in "purgatory" - he had to become "something else." Finally in seasons six and seven, he was relatively secure in who and what he was, and served as the mayor and the Green Arrow as well as serving some time in prison. In the comics, The Spectre needs a human host to keep the wrath under control - and while it is usually Jim Corrigan, that character briefly appeared in the third part of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and recruited Oliver Queen to replace him. His late entry into the story certainly helped to shift the balance of power away from the Anti-Monitor, though (along with various other things, including a hurting put on the villain by Supergirl and the Earth-2 Superman). The Spectre is a cosmic entity, powerful enough that writer Marv Wolfman felt the need to clarify in-story that he was significantly de-powered during the Crisis on Infinite Earths comics, likely so that he did not have to get into a larger conversation about whether The Spectre (who is often represented as the personification of God's wrath) is or is not more powerful than the Anti-Monitor. Yes, it's a part of his monologue that has been there almost every season, but this time.well, it just feels different. ![]() In order to prevent the Crisis, he has been saying, Oliver needed to become something else.and he, quite literally, has as the show closes in on its final episodes later this month. With the release of a new poster for the final night of The CW's "Crisis on Infinite Earths," Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) stands revealed at the center of the action as The Spectre, and it gives a completely different context to the opening monologue that he has delivered in every episode of Arrow so far this season. The phone's selection of apps, camera capabilities, and no fuss approach still means that it holds its own against the HTC One Mini devices of this world, for the right users. Yet, somehow, that still works in today's world. Some will see that as regressive, treading water. The combination of the colourful exterior sits beautifully against the latest iOS 7 operating system and as an upgrade to the iPhone 4S, the 5C is a perfect option, and refreshes the iPhone 5 in a way that makes it a lot more fun than the iPhone 5 ever was.īut there is no denying that the 5C is merely a lick of paint on a year-old device, a non-upgrade to the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5C is a lovely phone that is solid in its performance and playful in its approach. The iPhone 5C was all about colour and fun, with a range of cases to make contrasting designs. To us, the iPhone 4S feels as though it has responded to the competition.īasically the same as the iPhone 5, but with a plastic body. If they are, you now have many choices elsewhere. But you have to decide whether these things are important to you. The screen could be bigger the battery life should be longer iOS still could be improved there is no NFC and Flash support or options for memory expansion. ![]() Apple has done an excellent job pushing things like the App Store and incorporating features that see wider adoption, like AirPlay, its wireless streaming system, for example. The range of functionality that it delivers, along with the entire ecosystem that it inhabits, still makes it one of the best phones on the market. The iPhone 4S is every bit a smartphone, and an excellent one at that. The iPhone 4S was announced by CEO Tim Cook on 4 October 2011 Steve Jobs passed away the following day on 5 October. Much like the iPhone 4, but with the addition of more speed and the introduction of Siri as the personal assistant. What you have is a device that is an excellent multimedia platform and open to a new generation of unfolding possibilities. While there is space to improve the iPhone, you don't necessarily feel you are missing out. Other manufacturers will respond in kind, but gaining the strength of the Apple ecosystem is no mean feat. The design, whilst it looks nice, isn't the most comfortable phone to hold or use, and the reception problems just compound a long history of discomfort around actually making a phone call.Īpple has made its play with the iPhone 4, which we expect to be its handset for the next few years. However, many will loathe the restrictions you find in place. The experience is very well managed by Apple and many love this intuitiveness. The inclusion of a higher-spec screen is the most significant step, combined with a faster processor, meaning it can capture and play back HD content from the new 5-megapixel camera. It's the next vehicle for the world of iOS 4 and the App Store. The iPhone 4 isn't just a new piece of hardware. The flattened glass design is now rather iconic, and it introduced a front camera with FaceTime. This is where design and power really jumped up, with a 3.5-inch 960 x 480 resolution screen and the introduction of the Retina display. Here's how the iPhone has evolved over its life. ![]() The iPhone hasn't escaped criticism over the years - there's was "bendgate", "antennagate", and even a claim by some that their beard got trapped in the casing, but it's still a great success story. In 2020 the company launched iPhones with 5G, upgraded cameras and much more besides, before releasing the iPhone 13 range in 2021 and following that up with the iPhone 14 family in 2022. It was back to metal with the iPhone 5, before glass made its comeback for the iPhone 8 models, iPhone X and the iPhone XS models. Since 2007, Apple has adapted and changed the design of the iPhone a number of times, ditching the metal design for a plastic one with the iPhone 3G and 3GS, before moving to glass for the iPhone 4. ![]() Heck, you could also only sync it via iTunes on the desktop. Hard to imagine now, but the first iteration of the iPhone didn't have a number of features we take for granted today, like copy and paste, 3G and definitely not 5G, or even apps. ![]() When Shangela was robbed in All-Stars, they decided never to bring fellow queens voting on who deserved to be in the finale. ![]() This wasn't the first time something like this happened. There was absolutely no purpose for him to remain on the show, except to be the bad guy and the source of conflict. If any of you remember the MTV show Bromance from 2008, that was exactly the purpose of Femi. She was so incredibly disillusional and actually said, "If you have something to say, say it!" Followed by, "WHO THE FUCK ASKED YOU‽" when someone did as she said and said it. Get reasoning why she should win was- and I quote- "Bitch, just look at me." Her vocal fry gravel voice was basically if Miss Vanje yell-talked 100% of the time. Yeah, a lot of people wanted Gottmik to win, but we were just so glad that Kandy Muse lost that we didn't care who won as long as she lost. Related: Drag Race producers reveal how queens are picked for All Stars.Enter Kandy Muse, a living Bratz doll who was the most obnoxious drag queen ever to be on RuPaul's Drag Race, worse than Mimi Imfurst, Miss Vanje, The Vixen and Jasmine Masters. They’re going to compete against fiercer competition, all at the height of their careers.” The challenges are a little harder and we expect more from them…. “They know that they’re going to be tested and scrutinized in a different way. “When people waffle about it or don’t feel they’re ready to perform at their best, I don’t think that makes for the stiffest competition or the most authentic work room experience. “Committing to do an All-Stars season, it’s a commitment. I appreciate when a queen says she’s not ready,” Salangsang explained further. ![]() Salangsang, who’s been with Drag Race since season four, said the team are interested in the queens who are “going to come in on this platform and take advantage of it,” and the ones who are “going to give a great show for us.” It’s people we want to see and watch on TV competing against one another.” “We know who’s interest in coming back, and that’s something we look at: Who really wants to play? Who has experienced a real glow-up? We start throwing names out. “We track the queens and their careers and stay in touch with them as they’re conquering the world,” Salangsang told EW. Mandy Salangsang, co-showrunner and executive producer, said the process for picking the cast is based on their career trajectory after their original season and whether they can provide the entertaintment factor. The team behind RuPaul’s Drag Race recently spilled the T on how they select queens for All Stars. Last month, Jaremi Carey – formerly known as Phi Phi O’Hara – said he ‘knows the cast’ for the upcoming sixth season, telling fans over Twitter: “They film shortly, they have to fly out to quarantine them for 2 weeks.” I want to wait until I’m a different drag queen, do you know what I mean?” “I don’t want to do All Stars 6 and I’m probably not going to do All Stars 7. The thing is, I want to do All Stars, but only after my drag has evolved and changed. However, she did add: “ I had no interest in doing All Stars, and then I was kind of shocked and surprised at how many people wanted to see me there. Of course, when we had the chance to chat with Gigi, we asked her about Crystal’s comments, to which she responded: “ I was just texting her about that actually! She was like, ‘Okay, so here’s the plan…’ I was like, ‘Alright girl, let me know where I need to be and I’ll be there.’ Honestly, down. I was like, ‘Let’s just both go on All Stars and then we’ll do another double crowning.’” When we spoke to Crystal about her inevitable comeback, she told us: “Oh my goodness, it’s so funny because I was just joking with about that. Naturally, fans have wondered whether both Gigi and Crystal – aka Crygi, the most championed drag couple in HERstory – will follow in the footsteps of past contestants and return to the series for All Stars. The latter ultimately beat her to the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar and hundred-thousands doollahz after three legendary lip-sync smackdowns for the crown. The 22-year-old performer made her Drag Race debut on the 12th season earlier in 2020, where she made history as the third contestant to win four maxi-challenges on a regular season after Sharon Needles and Shea Couleé.Īfter 11 gruelling weeks, she won a place in the top three alongside Crystal Methyd and Jaida Essence Hall. Gigi Goode won’t be sashaying back into the werkroom anytime soon. ![]() While some apps offer only one data source, others give you options. Apple Watch options are incredibly important for a weather app. With a flick of the wrist, you can get a weather report. The Apple Watch is the ultimate tool for weather nerds. I should be able to see the majority of the data (temperature, chance of rain, etc.) from the app in this one view. I frequently use the Today view widget to check into data from various apps (calendar, maps, etc), and the weather is no different. ![]() Tapping five times to see what the rain chance is two days from now is too many taps. The app’s goal should be to show you the maximum amount of data on the screen at any given time. Weather apps fall under the category of “get in and get out.” In the age of the Apple Watch, Today view widgets, and push notifications, you might not even open the actual app all that often. The design needs to stand out, but also be pleasant to look at. The focus is that it fits within the context of the app’s overall goal. There is no right or wrong design style for this category.

It gives you a direct choice of route at the end, though it doesn’t directly say which route is whose. I then wanted to try to fight in the arena using these new spells, loaded up a fight with Asa, and got this exception the moment I clicked my name when asked who to attack with. Harem Kingdom is reasonably straightforward. I went back to the main game, bought several new spells from the fairies (All of the green, plus Kraepellin Clones). While dead, I also equipped a wand that I found which changed my basic attack into an ice lance. This occurred after I went through the end of China, which I did finish with neither Asa nor the MC alive, through the use of the summons.

Rannek uses a sword and breaks things with his gauntlets. There are many fighting moves, and players must use each character's skills to play the game effectively. Players have control over all three characters and can change character at any time (after all three main heroes arrive). However, Rannek concludes by saying: "Let them try". He brings them the king's thanks and the offer of the untamed land of Vaasa to be their own, he also mentions that the Githyanki would aim to retrieve the "Silver Sword", previously owned by Cireka, as it is an ancient artifact. Here, Khelben Blackstaff arrives through a portal, having survived the assault on his tower. They are welcomed back at Cedarleaf as heroes. There, the heroes engage in a final duel with Ygorl, ultimately slaying him. After fighting their way past Ygorl's hoard, they use a portal that leads to Limbo, where Ygorl waits for them. The portal takes them back to Gemspark Mines. The three work together to slay Caminus, then pursue Ygorl through the portal. There, Cireka is killed by the dragon, and Ygorl flees through another portal. The three follow the warlords through the portal to the lair of Caminus. Illius tries to imprison the two warlords in the Demon Stone, but Ygorl forces himself and Cireka through the portal before Illius can succeed. As the three battle the Githyanki, Ygorl arrives with his Slaad horde. When they find the portal, they also find Cireka and her Githyanki horde ready to make use of it. He directs them to an abandoned portal in the Underdark, as that would be where she would feel most comfortable. ![]() The tower is destroyed as the three escape.Īfter they defeat the Yuan-ti and claim the Demon Stone, they go to see Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow that does not follow the normally cruel ways of his people, hoping he can help them find Cireka. As the three leave, Ygorl arrives riding Caminus and attacks Khelben's tower. He says that they will need a new Demon Stone one could be found in the possession of the Yuan-ti people. The three escape from the warlords and decide to join forces to imprison them again.Īfter evacuating the nearby wood-elf village of Cedarleaf, attacked by Cireka and her Githyanki soldiers, they visit Illius' mentor, Khelben Blackstaff, for advice. Inside the mines, they accidentally release the warlords Ygorl and Cireka from their imprisonment in a Demon Stone. Ultimately, Rannek, Zhai, and Illius are driven into the nearby Gemspark Mines by a dragon, Caminus. As he comes to the aid of wood elves captured by the orcs, a half- drow, half-elf named Zhai and a sorcerer named Illius join the battle. Salvatore wrote the game's script, which begins with Rannek, a human fighter, stumbling across a battle between two orc armies. The three heroes must undo their mistake by joining forces to right the wrong they caused. Once there, they unwittingly release Ygorl and Cireka from the Demon Stone and into the world. A great red dragon, sent by Ygorl, leads the group to these mines. The story develops as the three heroes battle two orc armies near the jewel-rich Gemspark Mines. Fearing that the realm would be at the mercy of whichever villain was victorious, the great mage Khelben Blackstaff sealed them both within a Demon Stone. The game's introduction explains that the only thing keeping each of them from taking over the realm is their hatred of each other. Cireka, general of the Githyanki, is the second. The first villain- Ygorl-is the leader of the Slaad army. The two villains are equally enemies of the heroes and of each other. There are three playable characters in Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, each with his or her own unique abilities: the fighter Rannek, is a master of melee combat the sorcerer Illius, can cast spells over long range and a half- drow, half-wood-elf rogue named Zhai easily vanishes into the shadows before sneaking up on her enemy for the kill.

One scene Swann is mocking the idea that she'll succumb to Bond's advances and a few scenes later (without any development in their relationship) they're in love! The Madeline Swann love story is so desperately sold to the audience as the new Vesper Lynd/Love of Bond's Life, but there's absolutely no groundwork laid for them falling in love. When going to a Bond film, I'm not expecting airtight logic, adherence to the laws of physics, or 21st century third-wave feminist gender politics. I hated Spectre too though not for the same reasons. Did anyone actually read the screenplay before they began shooting it? There was a kernel of an interesting idea in this film, but holy Mary and Joseph was the final product a train wreck. I assume it actually takes time to drive from place to place in London.)

How does the girl get captured and placed in said trap, a process that would have taken quite a lot of time, even though she was on the street alive and well just minutes earlier?

My wife and I laughed out loud at how weird it was. Why was a hitman sent to kill them on the train if the plan was to have them arrive at the secret base unharmed? Why was having them get to the secret base a plan at all? And how did James Bond know the villains would send a chauffeur to pick him up at a vacant train station in the middle of the Sahara?
