![]() ![]() Most of the plot is bare-bones at best, since it is, after all, a movie adaptation, and they want you to see the whole story in theaters, not on your Xbox 360, but there's enough detail that even those who've never seen the movie can follow the plot quite easily. It's not exactly an innovative or new storyline, but Po manages to be a fairly charming and amusing protagonist. He must now train with the Furious Five and their master, Shifu, to live up to his new title before the disgraced warrior Tai Lung can return to claim the name and power of the Dragon Warrior for himself. A bundle of mishaps later, Po is accidentally named the heir to the Dragon Warrior title, signifying him as the premier martial artist in the land. When Po discovers that the Furious Five are holding a martial arts tournament, he simply has to go and see it. ![]() He's overweight, childish and seems doomed to spend the rest of his life in his father's noodle shop while dreaming of his kung fu idols, the Furious Five. Kung Fu Panda tells the story of a panda named Po, who isn't exactly hero material. ![]() Luxoflux's Kung Fu Panda, while far from flawless, turned out to be one of the better children's titles I've ever played. Indeed, I was actually quite - dare I say - happy with what I was playing. Around the third or fourth stage, I took a brief break and realized that I hadn't had a single moment of frustration, boredom or anger. Yet something funny happened once I started playing Kung Fu Panda. I must admit that I didn't have the highest expectations for Kung Fu Panda, based on Jack Black's latest cinematic venture. A game based on a hit animated movie would sell a million copies even if they forgot to put the disc in the case. It comes as a shock when a movie tie-in turns out to be playable, let alone good, and these low expectations fall even further when it involves a children's title. ![]() No matter what the movie is, no matter how well it would adapt to being a video game, no matter how much effort or time is put into it, they seem to end up universally bad. Movie tie-in games are, in some ways, the bane of a video gamer's existence. ![]()

![]() īecause the software and serial-USB was junk (and BTW I'm a software guy ), the CompuTrainer was incredibly annoying at times. Supposedly there's a new controller coming per DC Rainmaker, but that was in 2015 and the link above (with 2017/01 in the link ) says it's still USB to serial. ![]() People with CompuTrainers generally suffer it, or use third party software. It's a solid piece of hardware, but the controller is ancient and the software is junk. When I had my CompuTrainer, this was a hassle because you had to go find some USB to serial port adapter to make it work. Now everything is USB, and there are no serial ports anywhere. For example, the controller unit was designed for a serial port which was common 90s technology. To explain why I think it's junk, back in 2007-2010 I had a CompuTrainer that I bought on eBay then re-sold on eBay. This is 2017, and that thing is still stuck in the 90s. ![]() Instead, go read DC Rainmaker's buyer's guide: It is way too expensive for your needs and IMHO is junk. From a training persective these things are garbage compared to banging out good old fashioned intervals.ĮDIT: Oh, I see this is a resurrected thread from 2010. IMO the other Computrainer features like the 3D courses and Real Course Videos are a fun game for a few minutes, but the novelty wears off quickly. Whether or not these things are worth the extra thousand bucks are entierly up to you. With the Computrainer you can program in wattage intervals and as long as you keep pedaling you know you're at the correct wattage. ![]() In order to get the same effect on the Kinetic you have to manipulate your gearing while keeping an eye on the power meter. ![]() The only advantages the computrainer offer are the automation and the ability to "force" yourself to ride at a perscribed wattage level in erg mode. If I remember right the Kinetic plus the power thing were ~$300 total brand new. There's pretty much nothing of real value that can be done on the Computrainer that can't be done on the Kinetic with their psuedo-power meter. I have both the Kurt Kinetic fluid trainer and a Computrainer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We get a shot of the characters, the setting, what the characters want and need, and maybe a little bit of what tensions and challenges exist in this world. This is our picture of the regular world, before anything comes along to muck it up. Let’s take a look at the whole thing, piece by piece. This is your classic three-act structure, and if you don’t like a detailed outline, this might be enough.īut we can go a little deeper. We can break the hero’s journey into three big chunks: the departure, the initiation, and the return. In a lot of ways, these plot points and the order they’re in are what we know and understand as storytelling. These beats are familiar, and audiences have grown to expect them. However, the hero’s journey structure relies heavily on setup and payoff. While it does apply to many, this isn’t a universal structure–not every TV show, movie, or book will fall into this, and yours doesn’t have to, either. The hero’s journey doesn’t necessarily apply to every story. Instead of creating a new story structure, Campbell identified common beats and pieces seen in stories across genre and type. Campbell was inspired in part by Carl Jung, who believed in overarching archetypes–the mother, the father, etc. The hero’s journey is a narrative structure popularized by Joseph Campbell in his 1949 book The Hero With a Thousand Faces. What is the hero’s journey? And how can we learn to identify it in the stories we watch? Learning how the hero’s journey works is the first step in learning how to use it yourself, so let’s break down what the hero’s journey is and walk through a few examples of how it works in practice. A solid outline can really make or break a draft, and the hero’s journey can be as detailed or flexible as you need for your story.īut let’s slow down. ![]() If you’re an author, you’re probably also familiar with using the hero’s journey to outline. You may not even know it, but most of your favorite stories probably follow the hero’s journey. It’s a tried-and-true storytelling structure that makes up the bones of our favorite movies, books, and TV shows. ![]() ![]() Bonus, you get to look at a great big cookie.

One of the most popular idle games of all time. So, for anyone looking for a slightly less challenging, less mischievous, but possibly still doom-following experience, here are three recommended idle browser games you can start playing at work right now. For every milestone you achieve, another dangles just out of reach, requiring more clicking, or more building, or more sitting idly by as the game does the work for you. On the contrary, they’ve proven to be immensely compelling, maybe even mildly addictive. With your accrued currency, you can eventually purchase or build items to earn currency on your behalf, allowing you to turn you attention away from the game – leaving it idle in an open browser window – as you go about whatever it is you do at your workplace. Math? Testing the tensile strength of chairs? Awaiting the coming of our new insect overlords?īut, by no means does the lack of activity make these games any less interesting. This action earns you an in-game currency. In their initial stages, idle games require a very simple, repetitive action, like clicking your mouse on an object. ![]() Idle games (sometimes known as “incremental” or “clicker” games) are the self-driving cars of video games. Wish you could play games at work without having to do anything so taxing as drawing a picture, using a keyboard, or even paying much attention? We got you, boo. ![]() ![]() ![]() At times, it’s excruciating to watch, but you can’t look away. Jim sums things up perfectly when he says, “Michael and Jan seem to be playing their own separate game and it’s called ‘Let’s see how uncomfortable we can make our guests’ and they’re both winning.” The performances of Steve Carell and Melora Hardin (as Jan Levinson) are award-worthy in an episode whose twists and turns are fantastic. “Dinner Party” also pushes the boundaries of how “The Office” could make you feel uncomfortable, even when you can’t stop laughing. As you can imagine, it wasn’t an easy sell – removing the main characters from the office and excluding most of the supporting cast from the episode (save for the cold open) entirely. ![]() It features the Dunder-Mifflin staff, which includes characters based on roles in the British show. has a similar documentary style to that of the Ricky Gervais-led British original. adaptation - set at a paper company based in Scranton, Pa. “Dinner Party” is unlike any other episode of “The Office,” so much in fact that it requires its own (amazing) oral history.

Another reason for an error which may cause even a valid code to crash could be a condition not being met, say, a reference to a worksheet in your code which has been deleted by the user. There could be an error in your programming due to incorrect logic used in your code that prevents it from doing what you intended and may stop code execution, for example, if your code attempts to divide a value by zero. These errors are easier to locate as the Code Editor points them out at the time you are writing your code.Ī run-time error occurs at the time during which your code is running, that is after you have created your macro. not specifying a comma as a placeholder for the omitted argument), use an undefined procedure, and so on.
