More logical explanations point to misidentified large sea animals such as the basking shark or sperm whales.Ĭreature: Humanoid-shaped sea creature with squid tentacles on its face and dragon wings The Loch Ness Monster is a prime example of this. Some theories suggest that these could be plesiosaurs that have survived the age of the dinosaurs. Real-life sightings of sea serpents have been recorded throughout history. Legend states that when the snake lets go of its tail, the apocalypse or Ragnarök will begin. The serpent is so large that it can wrap itself around the earth and bite its own tail. It is the child of Loki and giant Angrboða. Jörmungandr is a famous sea creature from Norse mythology known as the Midgard Serpent or the World Serpent. In this study, we will attempt to collect the largest number of folk myths and folktales associated with fish in Bahrain, and to compare them to similar tales and legends from other parts of the Arabian Gulf.Interesting Note: So large it can wrap it’s itself around the world and bite its tail Thor battling the Midgard Serpent by Emil Doepler The folktale’s role is not limited to the explanation of a phenomenon, it also includes a lesson and wisdom some tales were reduced to a proverb that serves the same purpose. Some folk myths were attempts to explain phenomena that sailors witnessed but did not understand, so they tried to explain them with fictional tales or legends. In the Arabian Gulf, folk memory abounds with knowledge associated with fish many legends, anecdotes and proverbs are associated with types of fish in Bahrain and throughout the Gulf. The dugong is known as a sea cow in the Arabian Gulf, a name mentioned in books of Arab heritage. Its ancient scientific name is Halicore, which is derived from two Greek words meaning ‘sea nymph’, not ‘sea bride’. The myth of the sea girl was based on the dugong. Some of these myths made their way into the folk culture of Bahrain and the Arabian Gulf, resulting in a legendary creature known as ‘Bu Draya'.Ĭommon people in Bahrain and the Gulf believe in the existence of ‘Bu Draya', which originated with a creature known in Persian as the ‘King of Draya’ (the king of the sea). Some have even connected these myths to the dugong or sea cow. The ‘bride of the sea’ and the ‘sea nymph’ are terms that do not exist in Arab heritage they were invented by common people and made popular by the media. These myths evolved when stories were written down, and secondary legends were created from the old ones. These myths originated with the seal, specifically the monk seal. In Arab heritage, there are water nymphs and mermaids that are similar to the Draya in Persian heritage, to the mermaids and mermen of Western culture, and to the Sirens of Greek mythology. In books about heritage and mythology, we find different legendary creatures that are part human and part sea creature. Every culture includes people who do not believe in the existence of these mythical creatures, but there are always others who believe in their existence, especially since myths have become part of the collective folk memory. They can be found in all known cultures, and each culture has at least one specific mythical creature. Mythical creatures, mythological animals and mythical beings are widely spread concepts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Part of the fun around Alan Wake-or really any Remedy game, for that matter-is theory-crafting to solve for its enigmatic universe. You can read our findings here, where we broke down 20 clues you may have missed in the Alan Wake II reveal trailer. Thankfully, there are more than a handful of Alan Wake nerds on the team, so even though we have just the single trailer to go off of for now, we've actually already given it tremendous scrutiny as we scanned for clues regarding what the sequel could have in store for us. The December 2021 trailer, which uses Alan's real-life physical actor, Ilkka Villi, along with his voice actor, Matthew Poretta, provides a haunting setup for a sequel that seems intent to lean further into survival-horror, and the more recent PlayStation Showcase trailer shows off the second playable character, FBI agent Saga Anderson.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Since the December 2021 reveal, Remedy hasn't released much footage of the game.

Remedy's new game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store. It's official, Alan Wake II will release on October 17, just in time for the Halloween season. With Alan Wake 2 slated for launch in 2023, here's everything we've seen and everything we know so far. The cult classic thriller is finally getting its follow-up after years of starting and stopping, all while Remedy continues to grow its profile as a leading story-driven studio. Those infamous words became the undying promise of Remedy's Alan Wake 2, a sequel more than a decade in the making, off and on. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, Wilde accused her ex of “intend to threaten and catch off guard” in court documents that were acquired by Page Six last week. Sudeikis has since denied that he orchestrated the ambush. Others speculated that it was Wilde who revealed the contents of the envelope to the press to get back at him. Immediately, envelope-gate became one of the most shocking and random celebrity stories of the year so far, with folks wondering whether Sudeikis arranged for his ex to receive the documents in a public setting with the purpose of humiliating her. ![]() This anti-Wilde sentiment on social media was sent into overdrive, though, when she was infamously served custody papers from a process server representing Sudeikis while promoting Don’t Worry Darling at CinemaCon this past April. She also became the subject of pregnancy rumors after someone snapped a photo of her waiting for the subway a few months ago. Like most women who date famous men with 14-year-old admirers, Wilde has been the victim of some pretty vicious attacks from Styles’ aggressive fanbase on the internet since the pair went public. Who can forget the long appreciation screed the Booksmart director posted on her Instagram about Styles simply for showing up to set and doing the job he was paid for? Additionally, several songs on Styles’ latest album Harry’s House, especially the rather blunt track “Cinema,” seem to be dedicated to his new Hollywood girlfriend. While neither has spoken directly about their relationship, the two have been photographed cozying up to one another on several occasions, and Wilde has been spotted rocking out at Styles’ concerts. In the words of Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Kyle Richards, it was hard to imagine how terrible things would soon become after this.ĭespite the initial backlash, Wilde and Styles have not been particularly shy about their romance. ![]() Two months later, Wilde was in the news again when she and her fiancé (and the father of her two children), Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis, announced their split, mostly just confusing folks who assumed they were married during the nine years they were together. In September 2020, we learned that Styles would be replacing Shia LeBeouf as the film’s male lead after Wilde had fired the Honey Boy actor for “display poor behavior” on set. It’s funny to think back on the seemingly innocuous, isolated news stories that have since spiraled into a full-blown tabloid saga. However, the headlines surrounding the movie’s director Olivia Wilde and its stars, Harry Styles and Florence Pugh, leading up to its debut have become a melodrama of its own, threatening to overshadow the upcoming press tour and maybe even the project itself. The new psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling, set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September and hit theaters later that month, is arguably the most anticipated non-franchise film of the year-which says a lot considering that no one seems to know what it’s about. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oracle's lack of activity on or visible commitment to had also been noted by industry observers. Īfter acquiring Sun in January 2010, Oracle Corporation continued developing and StarOffice, which it renamed Oracle Open Office, though with a reduction in assigned developers. An alternative Public Documentation Licence (PDL) was also offered for documentation not intended for inclusion or integration into the project code base.

The footage is grainy and poorly lit, looking like a mini-DV nightmare. As for Nguyen’s grasp… well, there’s not much of anything resembling “traditional filmmaking competence” being grasped at here. James Nguyen, the singular auteur behind Birdemic: Shock and Terror, wanted so much for his film to be a new horror classic, a sensitive love story, an environmental treatise, an action-packed blockbuster. My favorite mode of camp cinema is when a creator’s reach is overwhelmingly earnest.

However: If you’re at least somewhat familiar with the phenomenon of “so bad they’re good movies,” you’re probably at least somewhat familiar with The Room, the Tommy Wiseau cult classic that became a cross-country sensation and inspired a real-ass movie with the Francos called The Disaster Artist. And if you want this infectious experience, popularized by shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000, we’ve got 10 flicks that’ll scratch that itch and thensome. These types of flicks are catnip for folks looking to kick bad with a group of rowdy friends and laugh their dang butts off, commenting on the lack of finesse on display while earnestly vibing with the genuine joy they’re receiving. Movies that prove our puny definitions of “talent” and “craft” are arbitrary, coming in distant places to the winning effectiveness of “making something no matter what.” Movies that are so bad… they’re good. Movies that buck any kind of measure of effectiveness, inventing their own new rules and filmmaking vocabularies. You see, I’m a sucker for what you might call “bad movies.” Movies that by no conventional metric are of quality, but manage to reach a new height of entertainment value that seems to vibrate on a separate plane of existence. ![]() ![]() I respectfully disagree, but interesting.

That's why we are doing an Early Access again for Ravenswatch, our new roguelite action game playable solo or up to 4 players in co-op.

By Act 2, I can find myself just leaving gems on the floor, while by Act 3 there's gems everywhere. In addition to all of that, you're limited to just 3 Flash Gems. Also, the +25 Gold Reap Gem, Dissolve gem if acquired late in the run isn't all that great, either. I rarely use the draw 1, discard 1 gem, or the +2 power, take 5 damage gem. The only major issue I have with the gem system is the limit of 6, and no way to drop unwanted gems. I can't see completing anything above 15 without extensive Flash Gem usage barring some perfect initial setup. They've definitely made runs doable in the 10+ Epilogue range. However, once I did unlock Flash Gems, I can't see playing the higher difficulties without them. I too, thought Flash Gems would be a pain. The +10 Healing Gems are also quite nice, and there's a +3 Draw gem. Flash gems are exceptionally powerful, especially the 2x and 3x damage gems. A 3 percent chance at having a extra gem slot in a card is nothing compared to starting with an extra treasure or gems. the costs ramp up very steeply and the cost seems to have little to do with the actual impact on play that the embellishments provide. Originally posted by ClkWrkCuttlfish:Do the flash gems take the place of any normal rare drops? If so then it seems like a sidegrade at best or maybe even an outright downgrade. Just try not to be too mean to each other. Happy to see some good conversations going on. So those are some thoughts that you might appreciate.

One thing we're looking at doing is lowering the cost of the "reveal final boss" embellishment so players don't feel so kept in the dark about what to expect. ![]() By the time you're a few Epilogues deep, most of the upgrades left should be relatively smaller improvements.Īnyway, we still plan on tweaking the progression tree a bit. Epilogues for example deliver huge bonuses when you complete them for the first time. You should be able to get most of the important upgrades very early on in Roguebook. The very top of the tree is front-loaded with very powerful upgrades. The other purpose of meta progression of course is much more traditional, For those that have a lot of difficulty completing their runs, we try to lower a helping hand early on. Ideally, after a few runs the player has begun to collect most of these more complex mechanics. We think Roguebook can be a fairly complicated game, so we want to slowly onboard new players to what can be seen as more difficult concepts like the Alchemist, Faeria Wells, treasures on the map, replacing starter deck cards, etc. One important purpose behind our meta progression system is to remove some of the complexity from the world map in the player's very first run. That said, it doesn't mean it isn't difficult. It was regularly accomplished in testing, and we've seen a bunch of players do it since release - which is reassuring. Meaning: You can pick up the game, play it, and defeat chapter 3 without ever losing once. (Not saying our design is the correct one, but I'll just clarify what our intentions are:)įirst of all, it is completely intentional that a player's very first run is completable without any meta progression whatsoever. I realize it's a bit of a sensitive topic and players have different opinions on how it should be handled in roguelikes / roguelites. I want to make sure the design intention of our meta progression is clear. Just wanted to make an all-encompassing post about this as I've seen some comments scattered here and there about it. ![]() |
