Violin enters as we continue with this motif, with a countermelody in the piccolo. (7/10)Ģ) Snowy is the theme of our first setting outside of Toriel’s home, and opens with a single piano establishing a very clear motif with sequencing between two chords. ![]() It’s a simple, yet highly effective piece and a great way to end the first act of the game. “Home” effectively establishes the setting, epitomizes the theme of innocence and offers a heartbreaking solo line in the guitar’s upper register. The piece flirts with the tempo in rubato, as we slow down and gradually fade to a close. Musically, the piece opens with a soothing classical guitar with a simple picking pattern, as a melody line soon joins. Here, Toriel ask s the player to refrain from leaving her home, offering the promise of home-cooked meals and freedom from the broader complexities and dangers of the world outside. The game cycles around the theme of good-evil dipoles, with the trademark Pacifist and Genocide routes serving as the most common for veterans of the game.

The soundtrack is long, and as such I chose eleven songs to review that were given priority based on their significance to the story-to represent characters or setting-or ability in establishing an atmosphere.

The chiptune soundtrack transports us to the days of 8-bit music, with a visual palette that immediately draws some comparisons to the likes of Earthbound and other similar RPG titles.

![]() There were fewer movies made, fewer viewing options, no/limited internet, no/limited cable….just the Big 3 Networks. In years past, the Academy Awards presentation was one of the few places where the era’s “movie stars” showed up in people’s living rooms on prime time TV. Having said that, let me address one point, and suggest that there are plenty of reasons for Oscar viewership to be cratering that have zero to do with politics. I’d like to very strongly suggest – and I’m thinking that CP would concur – that politics be kept off this blog, unless there’s a tangible connection to Columbo topics. And she felt ‘absolutely groovy’ about it… After missing out in 1966 for her role in Inside Daisy Clover, Ruth Gordon ( Try & Catch Me) won Best Supporting Actress for her terrifying role in Rosemary’s Baby in 1969.Myrna Loy from Etude in Black received an Honorary Oscar in 1991 for her exceptional career.He was twice nominated in the same category in 19 for his efforts in Tucker: The Man and His Dream, and Crimes and Misdemeanors. Martin Landau ( Double Shock) won Best Supporting Actor for his amazing Bela Lugosi turn in Ed Wood (1995).She also had back-to-back Best Supporting Actress nominations in 1950 and ’51 for Come to the Stable and All About Eve respectively. She won the 1948 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Gentlemen’s Agreement. Celeste Holm had a blast playing hysterical Phyllis Brandt in Columbo episode Old Fashioned Murder.She was also nominated for Best Actress for All About Eve in 1951, but went home empty handed. Head’s Columbo episode co-star Anne Baxter also has a statuette of her own, winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Razor’s Edge in 1947. Peter Falk even presented her with one of them, in 1974, for her designs for The Sting. She won a record eight Best Costume Design Oscars in her stellar career – some of which appeared in the background in Requiem. Costume design legend Edith Head had a cameo in Requiem for a Falling Star in 1973.Dean Jagger (Walter Cunnell in Most Crucial Game) won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Twelve O’Clock High (1950).Rod Steiger ( Strange Bedfellows) won Best Actor for his role in In the Heat of the Night in 1968. ![]() ![]() The following year Falk again just missed out, this time to West Side Story‘s George Sakiris. Interestingly, Falk was also up against two future Columbo co-stars that year: Sal Mineo (who appeared as murder victim Rachman Habib in Case of Immunity in 1975) and Jack Kruschen (lovable Russian chessmaster Tomlin Dudek in 1973’s Most Dangerous Match) for their roles in Exodus and The Apartment respectively. ![]() Sadly for Falk, it went to Peter Ustinov for his admittedly excellent turn in Spartacus. Many tipped him for the Oscar in ’61, so much so that rumour has it he even stood up in anticipation when the name ‘Peter…’ was announced as winner. Peter Falk was twice a Best Supporting Actor nominee at the Academy Awards, for Murder Inc (1961) & Pocketful of Miracles (1962). Have a look below at Columbo‘s Oscars pedigree. And the stars of Columbo, both from in front of and behind the camera, have a shedload of Oscars between them – as well as nominations galore. No silver screen accolade is more coveted than the Academy Award. But do you realise quite how good that pedigree is? We all know that Columbo was a great show, and one that could call on stellar talent as easily as the Lieutenant could pull on his wrinkled raincoat. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rugged design: Given the extreme environments in which action cameras thrive, they need to be able to handle stuff that would take most cameras out of commission, including sand, dust, water, and even serious impacts. ![]() Effective video stabilization: What good is 4K resolution if your footage is a shaky mess? The best action cameras use either optical or electronic image stabilization to counteract bumpy trails and running pups for almost gimbal-like smoothness.The best cameras offer up to 8x slow motion (240 fps) with at least 1080p resolution. With more resolution, not only is the image sharper, but you can also crop in for better framing, a slight zoom, and so on, without the image looking overly soft. We’re looking for a minimum of 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (4K60), and ideally more. Excellent video quality: A top-tier action camera records crisp, smooth, vibrant video and offers multiple resolutions and frame rates.If you just want the latest and greatest, the 11 is a small but noticeable improvement over the 10. If you’re unsure whether you’ll need these features, you probably won’t, so you can save a little money by getting the Hero10. ![]() Other improvements like 10-bit color are aimed at professional users, but if you’re editing on a phone and posting to social media you won’t see much difference. Video image quality gets a subtle boost thanks to an increased bit rate and Horizon Lock, which allows you to vertically spin the camera 360 degrees while the image remains flat compared with the horizon, is now built into the camera where before it required the Max Lens Mod. Video frame rates and resolutions stay the same, but it’s now capable of 27 megapixel still images, up from 23 on the Hero10. This means you can record vertical videos for TikTok or Instagram Stories/Reels at the same time as horizontal video without having to change the camera’s orientation to vertical. GoPro’s latest camera, the Hero11 Black, has a new, larger almost-square image sensor compared with the rectangular sensors in the company’s other cameras. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re trying to decipher which antifreeze (and therefore, coolant) is the right one for your vehicle, the best way to figure it out is to check your owner’s manual that came with your car. It’s important to note that you should never mix two antifreeze formulas - and for that reason, you should not mix two different colors. You might be confused as to what color coolant is, and that’s with good reason! Different cars require different coolants, which come in a wide array of colors. This includes presenting freezing and also overheating inside of the car’s engine. It’s only by transforming antifreeze into coolant-by adding water-that it can perform its most important job. We want to note that you should never, ever pour antifreeze into the engine of your car by itself. Coolant is also used to ensure that the engine’s internal parts are lubricated, so they continue to work smoothly. It can also help raise the boiling point of the liquid so it won’t evaporate. This helps prevent the liquid in the car from freezing when the weather dips down to low temperatures. The result is what is ultimately referred to as “coolant.”Īntifreeze itself is utilized to lower the freezing point of the liquid that is circulating in your vehicle’s engine. This refers to a mixture that is created by combining equal parts of antifreeze and water. You might be wondering what exactly coolant is. Here’s how to figure out if the leak’s culprit is coolant or if there’s something else going on with your car that you have to investigate. ![]() Nevertheless, only when you figure out what’s causing the issue can you begin to fix it. Sometimes, it can be difficult to figure out precisely what is responsible for the problem.

In another variation, Chang’e is described to have taken the elixir out of greed so that she could become immortal. One of them is that Hou Yi’s apprentice tried to steal the elixir so Chang’e drank it to save it which made her immortal. Now there are many variations to the rest of the story as to how and why Chang’e end up acquiring such elixir of immortality and becoming the Chinese Goodess of the Moon.
