![]() There are melee weapons like swords and spears, and there are ranged weapons like bows and guns. You can jump and dash and hit things with one of your two equipped sets of weapons. The game it has the most in common with of the ones I’ve played is Rogue Legacy, in that you battle through a procedurally-assembled side-on dungeon consisting of hand-designed screens filled with a random assortment of baddies. ![]() ![]() Do you ever get that feeling, when you come out of the cinema, and you’ve just seen a film that that’s well shot, decently acted and competently made but you just feel like you’re not getting something? Like, all you need to realise is that the whole plot is a metaphor for the colonisation of the planet or international diplomacy and you’ll be like, “ aaaaah I understand now!” and it all slots into place and now you can love it, but it never happens and you just feel like you’ll never appreciate it? Well, that’s a long-winded and largely irrelevant way of describing how I feel about Dungreed.įirst things first: it’s another roguelite.

During my modeling career, I have always been aware of Top Flites Gold Edition DC-3 kit (TOPA0500), but I have always been aggressively involved in RC scale competition flying, so I didnt pay much attention to it. Building the airplane was a substantial project, and flying it requires the touch of a skilled and careful pilot, but the results are well worth all the effort I have invested.Īs a 6-year-old, I watched American Airlines DC-3s on approach to Bostons Logan Airport and knew that someday, I would need one of my own. (The Army C-47 was/is a military version of the civilian DC-3 passenger airplane.) Although the kit is engineered for glow engines, I converted it to electric power using brushless outrunner motors and Lithium Polymer batteries. This is my 1/14th scale (82.5 inch wingspan) C-47 converted from the Top Flite/Great Planes Gold Edition kit of the Douglas DC-3. ![]() Donne imagines the object of his affection as the still foot of a compass, making his circles true: And though it in the centre sit,įarewell poems can carry with them meditations on mortality, as poets come to realize that each earthly farewell is a preparation for the final farewell. But, as John Donne astutely realized in his poem "A Valediction of Forbidden Mourning," the very act of bidding something goodbye connects the poet intimately to the object of the poem. As in odes, the object admired (and in this case missed) can range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Farewell poems take an astounding variety of forms: poets have found it necessary, over the ages, to say goodbye not only to lovers, friends, and family, but also to their youth, the courtly life, the twentieth century, a rhinoceros, traffic, even the fairies of England. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Grabbing a chance to see the world, Daisy packs her bags and joins the team catering to the world's highest-paid, supercharged racing drivers on the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit.

Occasionally he kicked at the dusty ground, throwing up chalky white mist around his sneakers. Neil was walking slowly, unaware of the danger he was in. Moving quietly, parallel to Neil behind a line of bushes, he kept a constant watch on the boy. The man stalking six-year-old Neil Spencer across the waste ground understood that only too well.
