![]() ![]() With no money I couldn’t gain nuclear dominance and they slowly picked me off. Just like business, my competitors found weaknesses in my process and adjusted and started hammering me. Whilst I was busy flying to get the nuclear weapons up, my opponents learnt that they could be me by taking out my financials by blowing up my harvesters with 5 odd demolition trucks. This was successful at first, but then my opponents started to improve. Get to Nuclear power, wipe out the opponents power plants, and then pick them off. Initially, it was the same old story in Command and Conquer. Now, the hard part is learning which of these strategies worked best, you could win with all of them in the campaign mode, but in multiplayer, where the really skilful generals battled you had to know who you were up against. You could always win with your own style of attack. Now, once you got used to the process you needed to go through, and devise strategies that you were comfortable with whether it was producing hundreds of foot soldiers, a squad of mammoth tanks or chasing nuclear power it didn’t matter. Red Alert 3 wasn’t as good, so don’t bother, but Red Alert 2 was brilliant. If you have never played it, I recommend downloading a copy of 1 and 2 and maybe also a bit of the Command and Conquer series, although I was less of a fan. Red Alert, was a recipe and template for any business, and for being an entrepreneur. All of this was a step by step process in much the same way as the even more popular Civilization games. Strategies included building your refineries and harvesters to drive revenue, which could be spent on units, buildings, and then upgrades. It’s the same in Red Alert as in Command and Conquer. You can’t do anything without building money, and you need help and team members with specific skills to help carry out your goals. ![]() In business, you need to build things, and there’s often a certain structure to how these things should be built. It so often goes under the radar when thinking of iconic games, but it’s had such an impact on my life. Command and Conquer, and in particular Red Alert was a fantastic strategy game, one of my favourite games ever. ![]()

![]() 19 WORTH IT: JOHN JAMESON'S TWEETSĭon't let the goofy skull-mask-and-cape combo fool you: Taskmaster is one of Marvel's most fearsome baddies. So if you're thwipping through the Big Apple looking for Spidey secrets, this is the list for you. With so many easter eggs to see, we've whittled it down to the 10 hidden secrets you absolutely need to see, as well as the 10 humdrum, yawn-inducing easter eggs you can pass. Thankfully, CBR is here to take the guess work out of the Spider-Man easter eggs. With a massive map crammed with activities, players have to gauge whether swinging to the other side of the map to see a referential billboard is really worth it. Developer Insomniac Games crammed Spider-Man with costumes, references, and shout-outs to the Web-Head's years of adventures, leading to a menagerie of easter eggs for fans to find and obsess over.īut as players have their hands full juggling Peter Parker's personal life, chasing down baddies, and trading punches with goons, there's only so much time to go searching for easter eggs. In fact, it's the game's deep, unabashed love for all things Spider-Man that has fans and critics raving. But it's not just the adrenaline-pumping fights and rewarding web-slinging that has people raving about the game. Everyone with a steady pulse is playing Spider-Man, and it's easy to understand why: never before has a game managed to truly capture the feeling of being Spidey quite like Spider-Man. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Warning: There are even several products that seem to have been abandoned by the vendor. I have received complaints about the lack of responsiveness from some vendors. Another reason to contact the vendor before making a purchase is to gauge their responsiveness. So if you plan to purchase one of these tools, you will want to confirm with the vendor that the software will do what you want, in a way that works for you. In most cases I have not used the tools and rely on the vendor for information. If you have already tried one of these products, or are currently using one I would love to hear your feedback. And last, use a free trial before making a decision. Instead, I recommend that you use this review to narrow your search to 2 or 3 tools. I have not tried to evaluate ‘ease of use’ because that is subjective. The runtime engine for each viewer is listed in the features matrix. But if you are using any of the new v13/v14 features the report will still run fine, but the new features will not be displayed in the report. So if you aren’t using any of the newest features the report will run the same in all of these tools. But the older runtime engines can still run the newest versions of reports, they just won’t be able to handle the latest features. So if you need to use the latest features (RPTR files or export to XLSX) you need a viewer with a v13 runtime. Not all tools use the latest runtime engine (v13). If those are features you want then you should probably read my comparison of desktop scheduling tools, which is updated every March. Some tools add scheduling and Email capabilities. To avoid repetition, when I say a tool covers ‘all the basics’ I mean that it can:ġ) Open and refresh an RPT file including parameter fields.Ĥ) Export to all of the standard file formats.ĥ) Run reports from a command line (like batch files).Ħ) Select an alternate data source at runtime.ħ) Store and Encrypt the database passwords To clarify some of the terms in the matrix I have written a glossary (PDF) of the terms used. I have also created a detailed feature matrix (XLS) that shows some of the specifics for comparison. Each section is linked to the vendor’s website so you can get more information if needed. ![]() I will provide their core features, prices, a brief introduction and what sets each product apart. In this post I will compare most of the viewer programs available. This ‘viewer’ is not in my list because it doesn’t perform the primary function of a viewer – allowing you to refresh a report. This may be because the first ‘viewer’ users are likely to try is the one put out by SAP/BO. And I am amazed at how many Crystal Reports users are completely unaware that these are available, despite the fact that they are offered by a dozen different vendors. The most cost effective method for letting users run reports on demand is to install a third-party client-based viewer. Does he need another copy of Crystal Reports? Do you need to configure an expensive web server? This user just wants to refresh the reports and view/print/export the results. But what if you have a user who doesn’t need to create reports or even change them. You use Crystal Reports to create, change and run reports. ![]() ![]() ![]() Use it to open the space with the melee and instantly cancel it as to not get slowed by the duration. If you kite around the tree they will attack it to gain the energy/shield but after killing it will give you the speed to escape without wasting other cooldowns.Īlternative Good against sticky Melees like Shifu, Raigon, Freya or Croak or Thorn to knock you back and escape the borrow. Good against Melee's that would benefit from hitting your tree and gain energy like Shifu or Freya. However it is very flexible and almost all other rites can be picked based on the situation! It will help your EX2 tree abosrb more damage or better protect from projectiles. The extra movement will help you keep up and follow them around without having to use your Jump or your mount and waste time. Team positioning! A lot of times your team will dive hard and you ll be left behind. Helps with survivability even more for both againt melee and ranged enemies with this extra movement.Ģ. Flattering Grace however is a very underated Rite in my opinion, adding 10% movement from healing ANY allie including yourself and your tree, that results in 20-30% movement speed almost permantly.ġ. If your playstyle is a more passive healer, Kindhearted is still a great Rite. These two rites should be played in almost all Blossom builds! I'd call ridiculously short amount of time less than quarter of a second, and a combo such as that would be, for an example, from Pearl's ult - ult, throw in bubble with battlerite, on top of charged m1 projectile, can happen quickly enough for the 3 damage numbers sum up into one.This is the Build I am currently running for 3s. On paper, that's 150, sure, but no target has been dealt unhealable damage in a quick enough succession. Then, to do most damage, you have to hit 3 different targets, dealing 26 damage to each, then 24 over 4 seconds to each. Experience the unique combination of a top -down shooter meeting a fast -paced fighting game and take part in highly competitive, adrenaline-fueled 2v2 and 3v3 battles. You need to first cast the ult which has a cast time, then each projectile has significant cast time as well. Battlerite is a PvP arena brawler and the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed Bloodline Champions. You might argue that Pestilus' ult has more utility, being able to heal and damage, but damage-wise it's hard to deal most possible damage. Ofcourse it depends on what you call a short amount of time, but still, I'd like to see what you mean. A full Pesti Ult can do 150 damage total in a ridiculously short amount of time, if he throws an M2 in between that he can pretty much decimate someone's entire life bar instantly. Originally posted by Papalopi:Compared to say, Pestilus' Ultimate, her Ultimate is pretty much even, actually. You're making it very blatant balancing isn't your strong point. She effectively disallows focussing of allies, including herself, she punishes multiple ranged abilities unlike seen before and she has by a landslide the easiest orb control.Įven without considering any of the numers this kit shouldn't be ingame. Boom bloom immediately forces the opponent out of their current zone, Tree of life grants a large portion of healing in addition to securing your position and Sanctuary is so ridiculous in effect it needs to be destroyed immediately if you want to advance on the opponent at all. For this she compensates by having as many as 3 high priority zone abilities: Boom Bloom, Sanctuary, Tree of life. Blossom has one weakness: she is relatively weak in close combat(despite having a push and punishing escape). Engage in quick and intense action as you take control over one of many Champions, each with unique. ![]() I don't think the development team really realized how crucial zone control is in their game. Battlerite - Battlerite is a PvP arena brawler and the spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed Bloodline Champions. Blossom completely shatters that idea, and further provides evidence the developers really need someone to do the balancing work for them. Yet still, you would think people would be careful around the concept of deliberately making OP heroes. Healers have been overpowered since the dawn of time, and nerfing them would potentially render them unfun(this was a topic since the very beginning of the early access release). ![]() ![]() ![]() "I've been to Africa and seen them on a menu," she said. ![]() "And so I see him a lot and think, 'Wow, I really drew that badly.'

![]() ![]() Encounter one, beat it up wearing Rathian or Pink Rathian armor, throw a paintball at last 10 health. You see, one of its main traits is its ability to mimic other monsters’ calls. There are a TON of these in the later rainforest area by the ruins of Redan just wandering around on the overworld. You don’t want that to happen… but then again, another of Crimson Qurupeco’s moves is to clap its flints together causing a really strong flash of light which can stun anyone in the vicinity.Īll that said, the biggest challenge with hunting a Crimson (or regular) Qurupeco is that it can call for help at any given time. This elemental effect will increase the likelihood that you will be stunned (dizzy) in subsequent hits. While Qurupeco’s flint stone attacks can set hunters on fire (which slowly drains your red health, followed by the regular health bar), Crimson Qurupeco’s flint attacks will give you a strong electric jolt, causing some thunderblight. This small tweak will not only require you to reevaluate your armor choice, but might also change the entire pace of the battle – and it adds new moves! You will instantly recognize Crimson Qurupeco’s physique and movement, since it is almost identical to the regular Qurupeco, but one key thing you should know is that all of its fire-based attacks are now replaced with thunder element. ![]() On the surface, it looks just like the regular Qurupeco with some color variation. Either way, once you get to High Rank quests, you’ll come across the Crimson Qurupeco. In Monster Hunter Tri, for most people this was the Qurupeco – and maybe that will be the case for those starting on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as well.
