What emerges, for me anyway, after reading and writing eight years’ worth of Mad Men recaps, is the astonishing sturdiness of Matthew Weiner’s series. As a result, they can have a spontaneous quality and occasionally offer speculations about future plot developments that were eventually validated or proven wrong (sometimes wildly so). Most of them were written in the moment, without the benefit of an advance screener, and often published within hours of an episode’s debut. I recapped the series beginning in season five and continued through the finale. ( Editor’s note: Vulture was slow to catch on to Mad Men and did not recap season one.) Recaps of seasons two through four were written by my former colleague Logan Hill, who preceded me at Vulture on this particular beat. For those seeking a critical companion, we’ve gathered the best of our Mad Men coverage in one place. The season-one recaps here are republished from Mad Men Carousel. The fifth anniversary of the series finale this month coincides with a global pandemic, during which many viewers are revisiting the show, or watching it for the first time. It’s exciting, sexy, sometimes sad, but above all else, it’s funny: a show that inflicts so much darkness on its characters is obligated to offer a bit of light as compensation, otherwise we wouldn’t go near it. And at every level - the scene, the episode, the season, and in total - it is a masterpiece of construction, filled with major and minor bits of foreshadowing and recollection, lines and images seeming to answer each other across time.Īnd even as it manages to do, and be, all of these things and others, it entertains. It’s also a series with an unusually strong affinity for mythology, spirituality, religion, psychoanalysis, pop psychology, literature, poetry, cinema, and all the other means by which human experience is transformed into narrative. It’s a psychodrama about how our personalities are shaped by our parents, our lovers, our friends, our bosses, and everyone else we know, as well as by people we’ve never met but feel as if we know: the politicians, civil-rights leaders, athletes, movie stars, musicians, and other icons who inspire, entertain, confound, and sometimes anger us as we muddle through our daily lives. It’s a drama about how individuals are and are not affected by the local, national, and international history that’s constantly unfolding around them. Because Mad Men is built to last.Įvery episode is packed with comic and dramatic moments period-accurate clothes and hairstyles and music imaginative, hilarious, often deeply moving performances and screenwriting that depicts the complexities and contradictions of the human personality with more insight and empathy than any American series to date. Given all this, when I decided to publish a book about the show, Mad Men Carousel - and then, years later, during the 2020 pandemic, started writing about the series yet again - my friends would ask, “Haven’t you had enough?” Throughout season seven, I went on radio programs and podcasts to talk about the show. I published longer essays about the series in the print edition of New York Magazine, and stand-alone pieces in other venues. I wrote episode reviews for Vulture and The New Republic.

I found the fact that you sometimes had to grind for save points or quick travel points the real issue with this game. you just forgot all the backtracking you did when you first played other similar games. This entire genre focus on exploration, and huge amounts backtracking comes with it. Want to put that into pratice? go play a super metroid rom hack that you never played before, be it redesign, hyper metroid, phazon, any hack that changes the layout and sequences of the game, and you will see just how much backtracking you actually have to do in your first run, and every time you run the hack, you will find that your time get lower and lower. The average time for a first run of super metroid is around the 10~13 hours mark, symphony of the night is even higher, but as you play the games and consequently start to know the paths more and more, your time in the game gets significantly lower, and that goes for every single 2D exploration focused platformer. The real problem is that you're comparing your first run of Hollow Knight to your 100th run of super metroid/SotN. all of them have huge amounts of back tracking, and some of them doesn't even have a fast travel mechanic. Originally posted by PizzaSHARK! □:I've played dozens of Metroidvanias and that's exactly why I'm complaining about Hollow Knight's excessive backtracking times and terrible mobility.Īll Metroid games with the exception of Fusion and OtherM, All modern open castlevanias, Shadow Complex, Strider, Ghost 1.0, Unepic, Megaman ZX/A. "Less hugs more slaps" ,word to the wise. These are the result of spoiled kids IRL and this generation as my old grandpa used to say Game won't hold your hand,asks for a bit of exploration = Too much time consuming Game is filled with lot of fast travel options and similar stuff= too easy and not funny <20rys players are spoiled by games that hold their hand from A to Z,when a bit of brain&patience is required they start to brag,and ofc don't you dare go against their POV! If you go further and also try to defend the position of not looking at a guide because a playthrough should be completely "blind," then I think you're going to find little enjoyment in this genre of games in general. But please don't blow up at a game simply because it doesn't hand you where everything is on a plate. If you don't like that, that's fine - refer to a guide. As an exploration-focused game in the spirit of Castlevania, backtracking is to be expected and for a first playthrough getting stuck is normal. If you find backtracking tedious, then I recommend that you just look up a guide for where collectibles are in the game. Also, it literally only takes a minute or two to get from the nearest stag station to each of the vendors you listed above. Stating that the above is "fact" does not make it any more factual. Super dash is stopped on contact with anything that has more than a few HP.Claiming something is "annoying" immediately qualifies it as an opinion. Getting to the Nailsmith to upgrade your nail is annoying. Getting to Leg Eater to buy or repair a charm is annoying. There's nothing entertaining about having to slowly slog through area after area because the fast travel stations are located so far away, or because there are no other rapid shortcuts, or because vendors don't move and/or are located in inconvenient locations. Originally posted by PizzaSHARK! □:Except it's a fact that backtracking takes so long it's annoying rather than entertaining. I will file games that are "priority" backlog into folders/lists on their respective platforms, though. I just really like participating in the community GOTY votes on this forum in particular - and not just sharing my own thoughts but getting to read everyone else's.Īs for games that I play that didn't release that year, nah - no writing down about them or anything. Every game that I play (that releases that year) gets put on the list and I will rank them as the year goes on and as my thoughts develop on those games. My question then is, do you do the same? If so, what method do you use, and have you felt like it's helped (or perhaps hindered you) in any way?Ĭlosest I do is each year since 2018, I've actually done a text document that tracks what I've played that year and acts as my GOTY-in-progress. For instance, do I start with Alan Wake 2 itself, or should I include some of the games I've finished recently? For longer games, like Baldur's Gate 3 which I will be continuing on (after only about 8 hours) on Monday, should I take down thoughts during my experience, or only afterwards? How should I go about it? Should I even use Excel, which is simple to use, but with none of the support of sites like HLTB. Though I've personally got some issues with starting it. As such, I figured I'd take his advice and start my own, starting with Alan Wake 2 which I just finished. However, it included nothing about what I thought about those games, so all this time later. About a year and a half back I did make myself a backlog tracking table in Excel to keep track of what games I'd finished, and when I'd finished them. Of course there will also be a new dungeon title and a solo-flawless emblem to keep you busy for weeks to come.And the points he made about tracking and writing down your thoughts after beating a game stuck with me. Otherwise, we can assume there will be four Legendary weapons and a set of lavish armor, based on previous Destiny 2 dungeon offerings. It’s also possible that it could refer to Rasputin, the Warmind, although his story seemingly ended in Season of the Seraph.Īs far as rewards go, the only thing we know for sure is that Guardians will be able to get a rocket pistol - which will presumably be the dungeon’s Exotic weapon. That would suggest a dungeon set either in the EDZ or the Cosmodrome. It probably refers to the warlord Guardians that existed after The Collapse, before the Iron Lords rose up to protect people against the early Lightbearers. The name Warlord’s Ruin could refer to a few different things. We know that it’s set in a Dark Age castle and that Scorn are the enemies we’ll be taking on. What can we expect from the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon in Destiny 2? Image: Bungieīungie is typically very quiet about the loot and subject matter of its endgame activities, and that’s certainly the case with Warlord’s Ruin. The Lightfall Dungeon Key isn’t individually listed on any of the marketplaces, but you can buy it from the Expansion section of the in-game Destiny 2 store for 2,000 Silver, which will cost you $19.99. If you just care about the dungeon, you can buy the Lightfall Dungeon Key to get access to Warlord’s Ruin and Ghosts.The Lightfall + Annual Pass bundle costs $99.99 and includes all the seasons for the year and the Dungeon Key, which gives you access to the already released Ghosts of the Deep dungeon and the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon.Instead, you’ll need to purchase Warlord’s Ruin one of two ways: The Lightfall + Annual Pass or the Lightfall Dungeon Key. While Warlord’s Ruin launches alongside Destiny 2: Season of the Wish, it doesn’t come bundled as part of the cost of the season. How do you gain access to Warlord’s Ruin in Destiny 2? Image: Bungie To start the dungeon, you must visit Ikora in the Tower and get the “In the Shadow of the Mountain” quest, then visit the EDZ in the Director. What time does the Destiny 2 Warlord’s Ruin dungeon release?ĭestiny 2: Season of the Wish’s dungeon launches at 9 a.m. In this Destiny 2: Season of the Wish guide, we’ll tell you everything we know about Warlord’s Ruin, including when the dungeon launches in your time zone. Warlord’s Ruin is the final Year 6 dungeon coming to Destiny 2, following the stellar Ghosts of the Deep dungeon from earlier this year.Īs for the dungeon’s theme, we don’t know much outside of the in-game badge for Warlord’s Ruin, which suggests we’ll be fighting Scorn enemies in a Dark Age castle.

This faster version of the song appeared under the title "(New Wave) Polly." The session, their last for the BBC, was first broadcast on November 18, 1991, and three of the four songs from the session, including "Polly", appeared on the band's compilation album Incesticide in December 1992. The band recorded another version of the song for the BBC on November 9, 1991, at Maida Vale in London during their appearance on Radio 1's Mark Goodier Radio Session. However, earlier versions of the song also feature this line, including the original home demo, the 1989 Peel version, and most pre- Nevermind live versions. A real plunky sound." Cobain's guitar and Krist Novoselic's bass were recorded live, after which Cobain recorded lead and harmony vocals, and then Channing added the cymbal crashes.Īccording to Vig in the 2005 Classic Albums: Nirvana - Nevermind documentary, Cobain accidentally sang the first two words of the third verse, "Polly said," too early, during the instrumental break, but the band decided to leave it in. In fact, I had to use duct tape to hold the tuning keys in place." According to Vig, the guitar's "strings were so old they didn't have any tone to them. "I didn't bother changing the strings," Cobain told Jeff Gilbert in a 1992 Guitar World interview. The recording featured Cobain playing a five-string Stella guitar that he said he purchased from a pawn shop for $20. It was the only recording from Vig's original session with the band to appear on the album, the rest of which was recorded by Vig in May 1991 at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California. This acoustic version, featuring Chad Channing on drums, later appeared on the band's major label debut, Nevermind, released in September 1991. "Polly" was re-recorded by Butch Vig at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin in April 1990. The four-song session, engineered by Ted de Bono, was originally broadcast on November 22, 1989. On October 26, 1989, the band recorded a version during their first BBC Peel Session, at Maida Vale Studios in London, England. Unreleased during the band's lifetime, this version of "Polly" also appeared on With the Lights Out. The sessions were for a planned EP to coincide with the band's European tour, but only two of the five songs recorded, "Stain" and " Been a Son," were officially released, on the Blew EP later that year. It was first recorded in the studio in August 1989 by Steve Fisk at Music Source in Seattle, Washington. The song was first performed live on June 21, 1989, at The Vogue in Seattle, Washington. This version was released posthumously on the Nirvana rarities box set, With the Lights Out, in November 2004. The earliest known version is a home demo featuring Cobain on vocals and guitar. Originally titled "Cracker", "Polly" dates back to at least 1987. Written from the perspective of the perpetrator, "Polly" has frequently been cited as evidence of Cobain's support of feminism and women's rights. The song was written about the abduction, rape, and torture of a 14-year-old girl returning home from a punk rock concert in Tacoma, Washington in 1987. It is the sixth song on their second album Nevermind, released by DGC Records in September 1991. " Polly" is a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain. Because most users prefer to view their pages locally in a browser prior to uploading them, Dreamweaver defaults to being document relative whenever a file is linked or an image is inserted. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers have no way of understanding what local root folder has been defined (as Dreamweaver does) so it can only follow a path that is relative to the document it is currently viewing. If you wish to be able to preview your pages in a browser locally, before you have uploaded the files to a remote server, they must be document relative. It is imperative that both files be saved inside the local root folder BEFORE creating a document relative link from one to another. Rather than starting from the top level (site root) of your file folder structure, it generates a path that starts at one file, goes through whatever file folders (directories) necessary, and stops at the location of the other file. Dreamweaver automatically generates a site root-relative path to the templates in the Templates folder, because it knows exactly where the template will be located, no matter what other file folders exist in the site structure.ĭocument-relative creates a path specific from one file to another. It is called site root-relative because it starts from the top level of the directory structure (the local root folder), and then follows through the next folder down (Templates), and finally links to the.

The path above replaces the normal HTML source that would appear on a new page. To view the HTML source code that Dreamweaver generates, choose Window> HTML. When a file is applied to an existing page or created new from a template, the following code is inserted in the source: How are pages linked to the template files?

In the end, I wasn't happy with the mounting modifications that I made, and I ended up selling the optic. It seemed very stout and more rugged than the other two, and the battery tray on the side was a great feature. I could not find a set of sights that allows for a good cowitness as it is so tall. Question is do I need an adapter plate, or can the sight. At present I am waiting on my G19, Gen 5, MOS on order. It took a lot of effort to mount it, and man is it large by comparison. For those of you looking to use the Vortex Venom as an optic for your MOS, you need to attain different screws for it to work. Outdoor Hub, LLC (d/b/a Carbon Media Group), 30800 Telegraph Rd, Suite 1921, Bingham Farms, MI 48025 USA. Lastly, I also briefly had a Vortex Razor on my Glock 34. Also there doesn't seem to be a auto dimming feature. Downside is the sight has to be removed to get to the battery compartment. This thing is small (smaller than the Venom) and I really like that. You will also need to source some M3x7mm screws as neither the ones included from Vortex or Glock work. The Viper also mounts to plate 01 or 05 but requires a bit of filing down of the locating pins for it to sit flush with the plate. I really like this optic because of the topside battery compartment, and the auto brightness feature. The Venom mounts to plate 01 or 05 depending on which you have, and other than finding M3x7mm screws, mounts easily without any modification to the MOS plate. If you ever have a problem, no matter the cause, we promise to take care of you.Just posting this so those considering Vortex red dots for their MOS Glocks can see what they look like on the pistols.
