![]() When I listened to The Killers’ “Somebody Told Me,” the vocals, synths and guitars were all clear, and the sound filled a mid-sized conference room. The speakers on the Predator get nice and loud. ![]() The graphics card actually ran cooler than the initial session, at 57.5 degrees Celsius, possibly due to increased fan activity. The CPU ran at an average of 4.17GHz and 87.6 degrees Celsius. During that session, the average frame rate was 74.2 fps, and it was consistent from run to run, varying by just a few tenths of a frame. Of course, with PredatorSense’s one-click overclocking, we tried the test again with both the CPU and GPU set to “turbo” speeds. The GPU ran at an average 62.7 degrees Celsius (144.9 degrees Fahrenheit). The CPU reached an average clock speed of 3.9GHz and a temperature of 82.6 degrees Celsius (180.7 degrees Fahrenheit). ![]() To test sustained performance, we ran the Metro: Last Light benchmark 10 times, which simulates about half an hour of gaming. ![]() The laptop earned a score of 10.4 on the SteamVR performance test, surpassing the average of 10.2, though the machines with GTX 1080s got perfect scores of 11. If you have an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, it should work perfectly well with the Helios. On Grand Theft Auto V (1080p, Very High), the Predator played the game at 57 fps, below the average (75 fps) and slightly behind the PowerSpec (60 fps). ![]()

The new RC803 remote control provides full function control and utilizes infra-red light in the pipe for up to 150 meter (500 feet) control. The DG613 works over a distance of 150 meter (500 feet) providing full operation in a single set-up between manholes. Even the cross axis is fully compensated - providing quick set up and peace of mind that the laser will be level without having to adjust at the bottom of the invert. The DG613 has a grade range from -12% to +40% and is fully self-leveling over the entire grade range. The length of the DG613 has been reduced to make it easier to set up the lasers into tight inverts in the manhole.

And not all languages are written with spaces in the way English is-not all languages have a standard written form at all. But just as writing isn’t necessarily a reliable guide to a language’s phonetics or phonology, it doesn’t always identify words in the sense that is relevant for linguistics. This is an orthographic (or spelling-based) definition of what a word is. In everyday life, in English we might think of a word as something that’s written with spaces on either side. Words are also syntactically independent, which means they can appear in different positions in a sentence, changing their order with respect to other elements even while the order of elements inside each word stays the same. ![]() For example, content words in English ( nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) can stand by themselves as one-word utterances when you’re answering a question: (1) What this means is that a word is the smallest unit that can stand on its own in an utterance. If morphology is the investigation of how words are put together, we first need a working definition of what a word is.įor the purposes of linguistic investigation of grammar we can say that a word is the smallest separable unit in language. ![]() In this chapter we’ll learn about the different ways that human languages can build words, as well as about the structure that can be found inside words. ![]() We also know what combinations of pieces are not possible. One of the things we know when we know a language is how to create new words out of existing pieces, and how to understand new words that other people use as long as the new words are made of pieces we’ve encountered before. To go back to the simple example of cat and -s, in English we can’t put those two pieces in the opposite order and still get the same meeting- scat is a word in English, but it doesn’t mean “more than one cat”, and it doesn’t have the pieces cat and -s in it, instead it’s an entirely different word. Not all combinations of pieces are possible, however. In many languages, however, words are often made up of many parts, and a single word can express a meaning that would require a whole sentence in English.įor example, in the Harvaqtuurmiutut variety of Inuktitut, the word iglujjualiulauqtuq has 5 pieces, and expresses a meaning that could be translated by the full English sentence “They (sg) made a big house.” ( iglu = house, – jjua = big, – liu = make, – lauq = distant past, – tuq = declarative this example is from a 2010 paper by Compton and Pittman). Most words in English have only one or two pieces in them, but some technical words can have many more, like non-renewability, which has at least five ( non-, re-, new, -abil, and -ity). For example, the word cats is put together from two parts: cat, which refers to a particular type of furry four-legged animal (□), and -s, which indicates that there’s more than one such animal (□ □⬛ □). In linguistics, morphology is the study of how words are put together. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Prevents crashes and offers the user the opportunity to re-create it.

![]() ![]() It’s fun having two playable characters with unique playstyles Copen takes some getting used to. The game has not seen any patches since October 2, 2020. Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is an outstanding sequel to one of my favorite 3DS eShop games from 2014. ![]() The game also has no audio settings whatsoever. Unfortunately, the PC version does not include the Shovel Knight amiibo-exclusive boss battle from the 3DS and Switch versions, which rewarded players with an unique item for defeating the titular Shovel Knight, and as of the latest Simplified Chinese support update, also introduced a number of game-breaking bugs that were not present in the initial PC release or the console and handheld versions. The PC version also retains a unique feature from the 3DS version for the final boss battle in Gunvolt's campaign which involved the 3DS's microphone, which can be disabled by disabling or disconnecting any microphones from the computer and cause the final boss to play similarly to the Switch version. Compared to its predecessor, the PC port of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 features most of the enhancements from its Nintendo Switch port, which includes higher resolution cutscene graphics, widescreen presentation, 60 FPS gameplay, and includes all of the additional DLC content from the 3DS version. It is the sequel to Azure Striker Gunvolt.Īfter a 4-year gap between games, Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 was eventually released onto PC through Steam on June 22, 2020. She is an adept, but her abilities are unknown.Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is an anime action platform game developed by Inti Creates. I leave this in your capable hands.”Ī young girl who appeared before Gunvolt and Copen, she expresses herself with a level of poise and order that does not befit her childish appearance. He’s currently working day and night on combining the powers of his crystal generation septima with a hot new original dance. Following a very successful first game and a cool. If he coats the ground with a crystalline material, he can glide along the surface like a roller skating rink. Published The Azure Striker Gunvolt series is certainly establishing itself as one of the next big 2D platforming franchises. For better or worse, he will speak in rhymes, to the point where a sentence will lose its meaning just so he can complete a successful rhyme. A former street dancer, his constantly amped up, upbeat attitude is quite infectious within Eden. ![]() His “Prism Cataclysm” septima allows him to create crystals at will. He would be in the game as a boss character, appearing before Copen in mid-air surrounded by 1000 Glaives that he would use to transform. “There’s an audience in place! Gotta let ’em see my face!” Ghauri, the “Prism Master”(VA: Chiharu Sawashiro) He uses a lot of internet slang in his everyday speech, and irritates everyone around him every time he opens his mouth…he by no means does this intentionally. He was a former contributor at a website for uploading foreign movies, and once things went south for his beloved website he became fascinated by Eden’s transmission equipment and decided to join up with them. His “Hack the Planet” septima allows him to take physical material and transform it into computer data, and conversely, take data and manifest it in the real world. Teseo, the “Serial Experiment” (VA: Tomonori Ishihara) The adepts who wield these Grimoires can use their abilities without transforming into their more powerful forms, which means the powers they wield post-transformation are greater than that of any former Sumeragi-controlled adept. Unlike the Glaives, which were used by Sumeragi to control the adepts that wielded them, the Grimoires are purely used to strengthen their wielders. Using top secret technology that they pilfered from Sumeragi, these Grimoires were created using data from Glaives they usurped combined with the power of The Muse. Grimoires are the catalyst that The Seven use to transform into their powered up forms. Their goal is to usher in a new age for adepts, and create a new utopia where all non-adepts are eradicated. They have began to amass throughout the nation, and consist mainly of adepts who were oppressed by non-adepts in the past. We’ll introduce two of these Grimoire holders in just a minute.Įden is a multinational group of adepts from all corners of the globe, whose numbers do not compare to that of ordinary humans. They each possess a book of great power known as a Grimoire. Unlike the Sumeragi Group, Eden itself does not have a hierarchical system for its members, but these particular adepts hold many positions of command, and are quite beloved within the ranks of Eden’s members. “The Seven” are a group of seven particularly powerful adepts within Eden. Now that you have a general idea of what’s going on in the world of Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, let’s take a moment to talk about Eden’s most powerful, well-known adepts known as “The Seven”. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those with mobility issues may want to request rooms Entertainment runs late in theĮvenings, and rooms near the main buildings often get the noise.

The Mayan ruins at Tulum are an easy day trip as well they're located an hour south. Scuba divers may also want to head to the nearby island of Cozumel, where the diving is legendary. The popular tourist city of Playa del Carmen, with its nightlife and shopping, is a 20-minute drive south of the resort. Cancun airport is 30 minutes north of the resort. There is an 18-hole golf course on the neighboring property, and hiking and biking trails nearby. There are several eco-parks nearby, including Xcaret, where families can spend a day exploring the jungle and caves, swimming the park’s underground river (or cenote), visiting the butterfly pavilion, swimming with dolphins, and more. Xplor Park, also nearby, is a more adrenaline-fueled day trip, with zip-lining, ATVs, underground rafting, and night-time adventure activities. Native wildlife occasionally wanders through, including mischievous coati mundis. In addition, the resort has its own private white-sand beach, Playa Paraiso. The property is surrounded by mangroves and rainforest. The Iberostar Paraiso Maya is centrally located on the Riviera Maya, near one of the Yucatan Peninsula’s most beautiful white-sand beaches, Playa de Punta Maroma. There's a wide variety of dining options, but it's recommended that you book your tables in advance or upon arrival, as they can get busy. Dress code in the a la carte restaurants is 'casual elegant': men over eighteen are asked to wear long pants and shirts with sleeves. In the evenings, the entertainment moves indoors to the theater, where there are nightly shows, or to one of the discos (there's one for teens and one for adults). Similarly, the sun-lounger-lined white-sand beach has plenty of spots to while away the hours, with or without a cocktail in hand. With its many options - a water park for kids, an activity pool where sports and games are held, a main pool with two swim-up bars - there's something for every kind of sun-seeker, and the pools are lively throughout the day.
