They are now in the midst of a Third Succession War, one which has been raging for almost 150 years. These states, also known as the Great Houses, have fought and quarreled for centuries over the remnants of the Star League and control of the Inner Sphere. Where the Star League once ruled in relative stability, generations of countless wars, alliances, and betrayals have divided the Inner Sphere into five distinct Successor States. Humanity has expanded to the stars, colonizing a vast region of space known as the Inner Sphere. ![]() PGI later announced PlayStation 4 and 5 releases of the enhanced version and which came out alongside the Legend of the Kestrel Lancers DLC Expansion Pack on 23 September 2021.

These days you can download all the classic games for Sega Genesis right here. Especially for the console in question, Sega developed multiplayer services these days known as Sega Meganet and Sega Channel, although XBAND was available in some parts of the globe. Tec Toy, a version of the console for Korea was sold in 3 million and Majesco sold 1.5 million. Sega Genesis was sold in 30.7 million units under this name. It was replaced by Sega Saturn in 1997 although some companies continued making the console up to 1999. Just to add, Sega Genesis was designed after Master System. Nintendo outsold Sega Genesis in Japan, but it was less successful in the United States. Sega Genesis was sold as the main rival to NEC PC Engine and Nintendo Super Famicom. There also was a slot for ROM cartridges that contained one or multiple games. The unit has 900 games in the library which were a huge deal back in a day and considered as one of the most advanced features in the industry. ![]() For the sound, Zilog Z80 was responsible.

With the death of the Orcish Warchief Blackhand, his underling Orgrim Doomhammer was quick to seize control over the most powerful of the Orcish forces on Azeroth. ![]() ![]() In my mind, the EA “Game Hero’s Journey” takes you through primarily three stages: You are collecting the best players across the league - LeBron, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant - and putting them on one squad, your squad. If we’re talking in basketball terms for NBA Live, it’s literally the All-Star or dream team that you’re building - not taking the current Chicago Bulls roster and turning them into champions. You take on the role of General Manager (not explicitly stated it, but that’s the idea) and build the "ultimate" team. The EA sports meta-goal is very clear, whether it’s Madden or NBA Live - build the best team. I describe this as the “meta-goal” in my deconstruct of “Contest of Champions”, in which the ultimate aspiration is about creating the ultimate team with the most powerful champions. Pillar #1: The Game Hero’s JourneyĪ compelling game will always have a compelling ultimate aspiration - the throughline that motivates you beyond the core loop to come back, day after day, month after month. Here are the five “pillars” that make up the EA Sports “Mobile Playbook”, and how it applies to NBA Live Mobile. After Madden Mobile, it copied the same architecture with FIFA Mobile, and now NBA Live Mobile. What is clear is that EA Sports believes that they have built a solid blueprint that they can use for any team-based sports game. When that is the case, it’s too hard not to lift that template and try to replicate it elsewhere. Madden Mobile built a playbook for success on mobile, and it is the most successful mobile sports title out there right now. To truly understand NBA Live Mobile as a product, it’s better to step back and look at the first successful title that EA Sports Mobile built, Madden Mobile.

Here I am trying to do the same in the array resources, I have a very large text there. If you use string resources, then you can change part of the text to a different color or make it bold using text or text. In package kotlin.Help solve the problem. We could assume or we can simply go and check how the Kotlin standard library actually implements these things. We can assume that MutableList is simply another interface for ArrayList, I guess. Uhh, exciting!! So, List isn’t really a simple list per se but is actually an interface for ArrayList. In Kotlin, the default implementation of List is ArrayList which you can think of as a resizable array. What peaked my interest was the last sentence of the documentation: Interfaces, Interfaces, InterfacesĪ quick glance at Kotlin’s documentation provides a good overview about what the difference between them is: while List provides read-only access to stored elements, MutableList provides “list-specific write operations” that allow us to add or remove particular elements from an existing list. While I have been unsuccessful in my attempts, with the particulars of what I want to do, I learned quite an interesting amount about what makes a List different from a MutableList, and I’ll share a bit more about what I’ve learned here. ![]() My last attempt involves casting immutable lists as mutable lists, in order to modify a supposedly immutable list into a mutable one. I can almost feel your excitement through this screen! In particular, I’ve been trying to investigate and learn ways in which you can break immutability in Kotlin, either knowingly or unknowingly. I’ve been thinking about immutability a lot…interesting, I know. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you like Rugrats you may also check Best 69 Pinky and The Brain Quotes – Cartoon Rugrats Quotesġ- “I never knowed loving somebody was so much work.” -ChuckieĢ- “Nakie is good. ![]() It is one of Nickelodeon’s most popular shows.

Some early evidence suggests that Solitaire began as a fortune telling game, and only later became a game of strategy. ![]() The game was first recorded in the 1780s in a German book about games, entitled Das Neue Königliche L'Hombre-Spiel. Solitaire is a delightful puzzle game that boasts a wonderful history. ![]() The cards remaining after building the tableau are placed face down and are called the stock. Only the top card in each pile is face up. The first pile has one card, the second pile has two cards, the third pile has three cards, and so on until there are seven piles. In Solitaire, there are four types of piles: the tableau, the stock, the waste, and the foundations. Ī version of Solitaire that you can play online for free can be found here.

The most well-known version of Solitaire is Klondike, which is what is explained here, and is the game that most people identify with “solitaire”. The objective of most solitaire games is to organize a shuffled deck of cards into four piles (one for each suit) in ascending order from Ace to King. Solitaire or Patience, as it is commonly called in parts of Europe, is a game that can be played with just one player, and requires only a standard deck of 52 playing cards.

It’s hard to hate on Call of Duty: Finest Hour. That’s why we’re celebrating the classic World War II Calls of Duty, starting with the worst and working our way through to the best. Sometimes we forget them, focusing on the HD era high-points of Modern Warfare and Black Ops, yet these earlier historical CoDs gave us the thrills and tension that put the series where it is today. The games that followed transformed the FPS genre and – you could argue – the gaming world. Powerful and visceral, Call of Duty wasn’t just a shooter, but an attitude. This wasn’t a game where you charged the enemy lines head-on, spraying out machine-gun fire, but one that made you work with the available cover and take rapid, targeted shots through iron sights. The cinematic feel was turned up to maximum, along with the sense of real danger. Here was a shooter where you no longer fought as a lone wolf, but as part of a team of courageous soldiers. Allied Assault had been a new kind of shooter, both more realistic than the console World War II games that had launched the series and more cinematic, putting players in the kind of scenes they’d witnessed in Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan, with awesome visuals, immersive action and a stirring orchestral score.Ĭall of Duty doubled down on all that while adding so much more. This is where the series began back in 2003, with a new studio, Infinity Ward, wanting to expand the ideas its team had developed while working on 2015 Inc’s groundbreaking PC FPS, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
