![]() ![]() This is Gaiman’s ( American Gods, 2001, etc.) first novel for children, and the author of the Sandman graphic novels here shows a sure sense of a child’s fears-and the child’s ability to overcome those fears. A drawing-room door that opens onto a brick wall becomes a natural magnet for the curious little girl, and she is only half-surprised when, one day, the door opens onto a hallway and Coraline finds herself in a skewed mirror of her own flat, complete with skewed, button-eyed versions of her own parents. 8-12)Ī magnificently creepy fantasy pits a bright, bored little girl against a soul-eating horror that inhabits the reality right next door.Ĭoraline’s parents are loving, but really too busy to play with her, so she amuses herself by exploring her family’s new flat. A skewed amalgam of Wayside Stories and Wimpy Kid that is sure to please fans of both. The stories are presented in a different typeface from Harvey’s comments and Tommy’s, and the whole is designed to look like a battered journal, crinkled paper and all. The arch and dry (and sometimes slapstick) humor of Angleberger’s first will keep the pages turning. Though Tommy’s not forthcoming, it’s pretty easy to guess what he’s uncertain about, but it’s never easy to guess the next twist in this kooky charmer of a Cyrano mystery tale. Yoda counsels students on everything from American Idol outcomes to overcoming fear of softball failure to what to do when you get a little water stain on your pants in just the wrong place. Tommy’s friend Harvey, a skeptic, comments on each story, and another friend, Kellen, illustrates. Tommy compiles this case file, written by himself and other students who have benefited (or not) from Dwight/Yoda’s help, in an attempt to decide. Sixth grader Tommy has a dilemma: He doesn’t know whether to trust the advice of Origami Yoda, who dispenses wisdom from his perch on the finger of mega-nerd Dwight.

The "Life is a highway" metaphor takes the attributes of a highway-including its association with journeys, adventures, speed, and the fact that we all travel them side-by-side-and connects them to life. The metaphor operates by borrowing key attributes from the vehicle and attributing them to the tenor. The vehicle is the thing to which the tenor is compared.įor instance, in the metaphor " Life is a highway," life is the tenor because it's the thing being described, while "highway" is the vehicle because it's the thing life is being compared to.The tenor is the thing a metaphor describes.Here's how to pronounce extended metaphor: ex- tend-id met-uh-fore Extended Metaphors in DepthĪll metaphors can be broken down into two elements: a tenor and a vehicle. The terms "conceit" and "extended metaphor" can be used interchangeably, though "conceit" is also sometimes used in an even more specialized way than "extended metaphor" is.Rather, extended metaphors are figurative-they create meaning beyond the literal meanings of their words. For instance, nobody is suggesting that life is literally a highway when they use that common metaphor. As in a regular metaphor, the comparisons created in an extended metaphor are not meant to be taken literally. ![]() Extended metaphors can span an entire story or poem, or just a few clauses of the same sentence.

It’s also worth noting that when an artist had multiple worthy albums (for instance, Portishead or Massive Attack), we only included their most definitive moment. As such, you’ll find artists from France, Northern Ireland, Japan, America, Denmark and Brazil represented as well as releases from Asphodel, Wordsound, Rephlex, Warp and a handful of majors. As DJ Food’s Strictly Kev put it recently, at its best the music was “psychedelic beat collages, usually instrumental, embracing samples, analogue electronics and dub FX.” The list is contained to the 1990s for historical accuracy and tries to steer away from the music’s strongholds to show the width and breadth of the sound. There is no purism to indulge in, because there is nothing pure about trip-hop. In putting together this list, we tried to take all of this into account. And tastemakers like Gilles Peterson have championed the music’s evolution across decades. Flying Lotus has cited DJ Krush as an influence. When I spoke to Daddy Kev in 2012, he pointed to Mo’ Wax as one of the key influences for Low End Theory. To those who believed in it though, it always held a promise of things weird and wonderful.Īlongside IDM (another etymological faux pas from the 1990s), trip-hop presaged the beat scene of the late 2000s, a continuation of the ideas and aesthetic it first articulated. It was music for people who felt rap was too dangerous. By the late 1990s, trip-hop had become nothing more than limp, often stoner-friendly, coffee table hip-hop beats. Mo’ Wax, often seen as responsible for the sound, originally kicked off riding the acid-jazz wave, a sound that soon exhausted itself into a creative cul-de-sac. ![]() ![]() No matter the names or the execution, the DNA was the same. In New York City, a loosely linked group of artists, thinkers and musicians spread from downtown Manhattan to Brooklyn’s cheap warehouses to imagine their own version of the sound, which The Wire magazine dubbed illbient. In Austria, Kruder & Dorfmeister added an extra layer of dub and turned trip-hop into downbeat in a haze of weed paranoia. In Paris, DJ Cam pushed out his own blunted beats to eager continental heads. Both labels crafted a unique visual dimension and assembled expansive rosters. In London, Ninja Tune played yin to Mo’ Wax’s yang. On the ground, the sound did resonate in a genuine way among a new generation of musicians seeking freedom to experiment. In 1998, The New York Times retconned Massive Attack’s debut album Blue Lines as the so-called genre’s inception point. Most notably, it became a byword for the Bristol sound epitomised by bands like Massive Attack and Portishead. Just as techno had become a synonym for dance music, trip-hop soon became a crutch for journalists and marketers wanting to signify hip-hop without rappers. Trip-hop was a logical evolution in a decade during which everyone came down from a partying high to face the reality that hip-hop and dance music were being co-opted by the mainstream dreams of a new sonic utopia crushed by the relentless onslaught of capitalism. ![]() ![]() Sound systems, digging, dub, chill-out rooms, early globalisation and technology also acted like so many molecules attaching themselves to a new idea of what hip-hop could be. One strand came from hip-hop, which had fed the musical imagination of a new generation for over a decade, while another strand came from rave, which had provided further stylistic possibilities with its fusion of drum machines, breaks, samples and synthesisers. The DNA of trip-hop was more complex than its reduction to bite-sized adjectives. Pemberton heralded trip-hop as a psychedelic take on hip-hop and the first valid alternative to America’s dominance of the music. I say this as someone who, for the past 18 odd years, has loved the music just as much as I’ve hated the term.Ĭoined in June 1994 by Andy Pemberton in a feature for Mixmag, trip-hop was used to describe the recent stylistic shift of the Mo’ Wax label and that music’s popularity in dance circles, particularly in after hours sessions. ![]() Read the description below.īe sure to have bullet hit power at 1 in the option gameplay menu and enhanced recoil disabled in the game. This add-on heavily changes how Anomaly must be played. Here are some add-ons that go well with GBOOBS: ![]() It also makes guns with a broken barrel dealing less damage and less ammo penetration. And 7.62x25 is slightly better than 9x19 FMJ, but it lacks performance against armored foes, but is very versatile early on.Īmong other changes, the add-on brings it's own weapon recoil balance, two set of icons with ammo name (original icons and a brand new set of icons), a rework of grenades damages based on NPC armor profile and more (see full description below). Now 5.7 is now a clear upgrade compared to 9x19. Some iconic weapons like PPSh and P90, which have their own caliber, have been reinforced a bit. SMG are buffed too : time to kill is generally faster with this add-on, and despite reduced SMG damages (in vanilla a 9x19 deals the same damage has a 5.45 weapon), their recoil has been reworked so that they are still super efficient at close range and super cheap to use compared to higher caliber weapons. HP ammo efficiency has been boosted so that shotguns are not the king anymore to kill mutants.45 Hydrashock is the king. ![]() Most calibers have basic ammo (FMJ), hollow-point ammo (HP) or armor piercing ammo (AP). Slugs and AP Slugs (Darts) thus received a boost and they are designed for stalker hunting. FMJ basic ammo are still useful, but you'll need to shoot the legs of a Nosorog if you want to incapacitate it. Since their price is high, AP ammo must be used with care. AP ammo price has thus been increased because you need much less of these to kill armored foes. But 3-4 AP 7.62x39 or 9x39 to the chest and they are dead. To kill an exo with buckshots, you'll likely need more than 10 shots. It balances buckshots because their penetration value is extremely low, thus making buckshot useful only against unarmored or lightly armored targets (early stalkers and mutants). Damage localization is also more pronounced (damage reduction based on limbs). Each NPCs have armor values for each limb based on their visual model. High penetration ammo even penetrates armor directly. The higher the ammo penetration power, the quicker the NPCs armor is depleted. There are some concussion damage still but they are nerfed heavily. Do not attempt to relocate sea animals, take them home, etc.Bullets have to break the NPCs armor before dealing damage. Leave everything the way you found it.There is lots of wildlife to be protected and unsafe areas for you.
