![]() Scarlet Witch’s powers aren’t particularly well-defined, but we do know that they’re extremely potent. That means choosing between his new comrades and his old friends, although ultimately I think he’s going to have Iron Man’s back on this one. Rhodes is in a particularly awkward spot though, considering he’s a member of both the Avengers and (we assume) still an Air Force officer. War Machine got a little time to shine in Age of Ultron, and as Tony Stark’s oldest friend, he’ll likely be suiting up once more. That is, if he chooses a side at all (maybe none of them are worthy, maybe only elevator is worthy). Whichever side the Vision is on is going to have a pretty lopsided advantage. Speaking of Hawkeye, Clint Barton appeared to have retired at the end of Age of Ultron, but I guess you can’t keep an Avenger out of the fight, especially when his former teammates are involved. Expect Captain America to find a strong ally in this guy. The Falcon might be the Hawkeye of the New Avengers team, but we still love him. Fingers crossed for Bucky and Steve to get a chance to fight side-by-side again. The “Winter Soldier” will turn up in Civil War though, although it’s not clear what role he’ll play. Bucky Barnes / Winter SoldierĬaptain America and the Falcon have been on the hunt for Bucky, without much luck. That doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll be on Cap’s side when the Civil War begins, but the events of The Winter Soldier probably gave her a pretty good reason not to trust big, bureaucratic authorities. The last we saw of Black Widow, she was Captain America’s #2 on the New Avengers team. While this is ostensibly a “Captain America movie,” expect Iron Man to play a significant role. Shaken by his involvement in the Ultron incident, Stark apparently has a change of heart, and believes that the only way the Avengers can safely exist is if they’re accountable to the people they’re trying to protect. Opposing him will be a team led by Tony Stark. Tony Stark / Iron ManĬaptain America will be against government oversight of his superhero team. This new policy splits the team in two, all while a “new and nefarious villain” emerges. After an international incident results in collateral damage though, the government mandates a system of accountability and oversight, one that will determine when and where the Avengers are deployed. In the aftermath of Age of Ultron, Captain America is leading a new team of Avengers. Marvel has confirmed the official cast list for Captain America: Civil War, and it is huuuge (and we don’t even know if there will be any surprise cameos yet). Here’s everyone that’s officially on the roster for this crossover event, although it’s worth noting that Spider-Man will more than likely end up here in some form, he’s just not part of the announcement because an actor hasn’t been cast yet. Did you think Avengers: Age of Ultron had a massive cast? You aint seen nothing yet.

![]() THAT would be a treat!īut frames do not the whole story tell. ![]() On my wishlist for Live 99: make those faces move like in real life. Since all spectacular plays are automatically shown using a great close-up replay, the fact that the players seem so much like themselves makes for a real incentive to play well. It's great fun, and is doubly impressive when you realize that all players have their real-life counterparts' faces bit-mapped onto them. Malone delivers like Malone, and Barkley (yes, he's "in the game" this time) dunks like Barkley. This helps the fluidity of the movements immensely, and allowed EA Sports to include things like real player moves- not only generic plays, but also specific ones. You see, what they did was, they added frames. And the results, dear reader, are no less than amazing. this year, EA Sports concentrated in refining their technology. First it was Virtual Stadium technology, then motion captured polygonal players that actually looked like real humans. Every new game, every year, breaks new ground. But what I wish to discuss now is another of EA Sports very well known market footprints- a hallmark, really- graphics. Their main problem was always getting the balance right, and how NBA Live 98 answers this issue will be discussed later. ![]() So EA Sports chose a middle ground, of arcade based games that are influenced by statistics. Anyone after a simulation of a real season should go for a stat based management game anyway- after all, there is no sense in allowing a player to actually participate in a match if the game world is simulated, as player skill (as opposed to simulated player skills), for example with a joystick, can never be factored into the simulation. We want the thrills of exciting matches, not the boredom of, well, boring ones. This isn't necessarily bad, as games like Fifa 96 and the original NBA Live 95 easily prove. it's in the game" thing, but in truth, their games were always more arcade than real-life oriented. Yes, they have this "If it's in the game. may actually do you goodĮA Sports have never really cared for the simulation part of their games. But is it good enough to restore our faith? So many polygons. And so, this year, in came NBA Live 98, stomping around the arena with the usual showmanship. The third incarnation, Live 97 (this time it was less surprising), was somewhere in between- it regained some of the original's playability, and upped the ante on graphics, but it was still not as much fun as it were two years back.ĮA Sports had to do something, fast, or they would lose their fans. It was much worse, and made me feel very sorry for myself because I already traded my original Live 95 copy. The successor to Live 95 was called, surprisingly, Live 96 - remember, that was before everyone started accepting the change of two digits at the end of the title as normal practice. One such series is NBA Live, the first of which was the first really good 5-on-5 game since TV Sports Basketball. Overall, though, EA Sports continue to supply us with perfectly serviceable games annually (except, maybe Fifa 97, winner of last year's "game which sold a huge number of copies even though it was almost unplayable" award by a huge margin). Yes, failures occur from time to time, but that can only be expected. To be honest, they wouldn't have been so successful if they weren't any good. And so, every year in time for the holidays, we have a new bunch of 'em coming in, most simply changing the title by adding one to the yearly designation. Their "yearly" franchise, which includes games from most major sports, has become so successful, that a lot of people are buying them year-in, year-out, as loyal as puppies. Have they learned their lesson?ĮA Sports is, without a doubt, the most successful PC sports games company in the world. ![]() Tack Bloon - When popped, shoots out tacks in all 8 directions.Popcorn Bloon - When popped, earns 500 points.Spikey Bloon - When popped, a spiked ball drops, popping all bloons directly below it.Toffee, who speaks out reactions instead of crowd reacting (his reactions are "Sweet", "Tasty", "Delicious", and "Divine" in the order of increasing awe). In the game, there are only 4 such reactions, to which correspond pretty similarly to the later Candy Crush Saga's Mr. List of instances where "ah!" is triggered: List of instances where "ooh!" is triggered: The audience makes a certain reaction sound upon accruing certain amount of points gained in a single move. Popping certain bloons gains extra score:Ĭhain matches increases multiplier of a base score, but not from an Extra Pop source:Īn example of a chain not stacking with Extra Pops is popping a Popcorn Bloon with a Spiky Bloon, which gives 1050 points, not 1100. Making matches or popping more bloons in a chain increases score. Gaining lots of points as a result of multiple chains There is no definite end to the game until there are no valid moves left, which will subsequently cause the game over screen. Hints can be bought for 200 points, which when used summons an arrow that points to any bloon with a valid move. Some bloons have special icons on them that give special bonuses such as popping more bloons or gaining more points. Matching 3 or more bloons of the same color causes them to pop. After reading the instructions, the player is given a screen full of bloons in a 8x8 system. The game begins with the instructions for Bloons Pop 3. ![]() The en passant capture is often used as a theme in chess problems. In his 1860 book Chess Praxis, Howard Staunton wrote that the en passant capture is mandatory in such a position the rules of chess were amended to make this clear. : 49 Chess players debated this point in the 19th century, with some arguing that the right to capture en passant is a "privilege" that one cannot be compelled to exercise. In his book on chess organization and rules, International Arbiter Kenneth Harkness wrote that people frequently asked if this is the case. When a player is not in check, and capturing en passant is their only legal move, they are forbidden to "claim" a draw by stalemate they must either perform the move or end the game on their turn via normal means. In the context of threefold and fivefold repetition, two positions are considered different if the opportunity to perform a given en passant capture exists in one position but not the other. ![]() ![]() : 124–125 Draw by repetition and stalemate In 1880, Italy adopted the rules used by the rest of the world, including the en passant capture, in preparation for the 1881 Milan tournament. : 16 In some parts of Europe, particularly in Italy, the rule was excluded this exclusion was known as passar battaglia. ![]() The en passant capture was one of the last major additions to European chess. The en passant capture may have been introduced at that time, or it may have come later the earliest references to this rule date to the 16th century. The two-square advance was introduced later, between the 13th and 16th centuries, to speed up games. Though it’s relatively rare in practice, the en passant rule is important to know.īut as with any move in chess, it’s important to evaluate your entire position.Įn passant can be a great way to advance a pawn you plan to promote, but if that same pawn secures your position, moving it could cause your whole position to collapse.In early versions of chess, the pawn could not advance two squares on its first move. The en passant move can only be made on the move immediately after the enemy pawn makes the double-step move otherwise, the right to capture it en passant is lost. The capture can only be made on the move immediately after the enemy pawn makes the double-step move otherwise, the right to capture it en passant is lost.The pawn that will be captured must have just moved two squares in a single move.The pawn that will be captured must be adjacent to the capturer.The pawn that captures must be on its fifth rank.Official Rules/Conditions for an En Passant Here is the most basic example of how to en passant.Įxample 2: As Black - When pawns are blocked The en passant rule is a way to keep things the same after pawns were allowed two move forward two squares during their first turn. Without the en passant rule, a lot of unfair situations would happen during chess endgames that wouldn’t have existed prior to the rule changes. The en passant special rule was added so pawns that these pawns could still be captured. This gave rise to the situation where a pawn could move two squares forward on its first move and avoid getting captured by the adjacent enemy pawns. See an example of how to en passant below:īefore, the rules changes in chess, pawns were only allowed to move one square at a time.īut during the 15th century, a rule change happened where pawns were allowed to move two squares forward on their first move. An en passant is a special move in chess. ![]() Couple caught up in Rhodes wildfires were forced to walk their two children, 7 and 11, through 'apocalyptic' island as they battled to be evacuated.No, you're not going mad: The Mind Doctor MAX PEMBERTON reveals seeing the 'ghosts' of those you've lost is just proof of the power of love.I love my step grandchildren but they won’t see a penny from me: Grandmothers from blended families reveal why they are leaving money only to their biological relations.ANDREW PIERCE: Debate tribute paid for murdered Tory MP Sir David Amess before Parliament broke up for recess.Jeremy Hunt reveals how he hopes UK research will 'lift the curse of cancer from humanity' as he talks about his own battle with the disease: 'It was the first time that the 'C word' had been used in terms of my own health so that makes you sit up'.'I'm blessed my cancer was caught quickly': Jeremy Hunt describes his fight with the disease that killed his parents - and has now struck his brother too.Is the jig up for intermittent fasting?

This is what freedom means to me.Freedom of religion means the freedom to chose one's religious beliefs without cohersion or intimidation and the freedom to openly practise those beliefs, rituals or traditions in the society in which one finds one's self. When you stop and think about how life would be without it, it makes you very thankful to live here and enjoy the promise of freedom. Sometimes we take freedom for granted, and don't think of all the little things that we get to enjoy because we are free. True freedom means giving as well as receiving, and the price is high.Ī person's race, gender or physical limitations don't matter because we are all equal, so we receive the same amount of freedom. The brave Americans of Flight 93 and other victims of 9-11 paid the ultimate price for freedom, so we should pay them respect and gratitude. 11 is an example of the meaning of freedom.

There's also freedom of assembly, press, speech and economic freedom, which is to be able to profit from land in America.

Would you go along with that person, or would you be the one to stand above the crowd and say, "I care about freedom, because of freedom, we can do what we want each day living freely, with no worries." Think about it. We have troops fighting for us at this very moment in Iraq. Every night we would lay awake, wondering if this would be our last night. That means many families would be afraid to leave their homes in case they got hurt or even killed. If we didn't have these freedoms, what do you think America would be like? What if we didn't have courageous people to fight for us like in World Wars I and II? Probably half of our population would be wiped out. We can express our feelings and not get in trouble for it.
