Major havoc marquee11/1/2023 So this was the challenge that Johnny had. You’d try to either source the original wheels, or get a 1:1 reproduction made. You wouldn’t put a set of modern alloy wheels onto an original 1952 Chevrolet Deluxe car you were restoring. Any restorer will tell you if one of those parts isn’t right, it will stand out like a sore thumb. I guess there’s two main elements to reproducing a classic arcade machine: The woodworking side of things, and the myriad of component parts not just the PCB and monitor, but also the artwork, the metal frames, bezels, marquee retainers, controls, buttons and wiring looms. So when he decided to build an arcade machine as an exact replica of the original from some 30 years ago, he had some confidence going into the project. His roster of cabs include Tron, Front Line, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Track & Field, Tutankan, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Robotron, Space Duel, Gravitar, Star Wars and Space Invaders. He has now amassed 34 machines, ranging from color raster, color vector and black and white games. Johnny has been collecting arcade games for about 17 years. Out of all the collectible games, this has always been my “grail” game. I love the play of the game and the unique shape of the cab. I have always wanted to add Major Havoc to my color vector collection. Here’s a gameplay video which gives a good outline of the game’s objectives: The game itself is a combination of a shoot-em-up and maze style, where the player takes on the role of Major Rex Havoc himself, travelling around a galaxy sabotaging reactors hidden deep inside space stations. Soon after its release, conversion kits were created, that allowed operators to convert other Atari Vector titles, using the native hardware and controls (it’s not unusual to see a Tempest converted to Major Havoc). Released in very limited numbers as a dedicated cabinet in 1983, this complex game created by Owen Rubin is regarded as being for the hardcore gamer and collector. Atari’s elusive Major Havoc is the cabinet he always wanted. There’s no doubt that the thrill of the chase is a large part of what we do in pursuit of owning the perfect collection of arcade machines.īut if the urge to own one of these elusive cabinets is just too much, what do you do? Faced with climbing prices and collectors holding onto these gems, some enthusiasts have taken matters into their own hands.Ī fellow collector from the USA, Johnny Gallegos, did just that. Would that kill some of the mystique and adventure of this hobby? Maybe. If I suddenly owned all of the aforementioned cabs, I’d likely struggle to identify another grail. I think there’s a bit of reverse psychology here too. Most of us would love to own those cabinets, but the reality is that they so rarely turn up, either waiting to be found or out there for sale, that we will most likely never own one, let alone be able to afford the asking price. Thinking off the top of my head here: Environmental Discs of Tron, Sundance and Quantum would all fall into that category for the majority of collectors. There are also some arcade games that are generally regarded as “Unobtainium” for most arcade enthusiasts. It might be the one you played as a kid, or just a very rare machine that always seems just out of reach either in terms of its scarcity, or cost (usually both in my case). You have a shield that can get you past an enemy but there is only one per station.In arcade collecting circles, the “holy grail” is that one cab. You now have a limited time to make your way back to your ship and escape. Following the direction of the red arrows, make your way to the reactor and touch it. After you have breached the defenses, you must guide your ship left and right to successfully land on the stations landing pad. You can only move left and right and fire. You can shoot a wall out of your way, however, this requires lots of shots and you are constantly moving forward. After that, you travel up through the maze, the walls of which are deadly to the touch. You can shoot the drones to prevent them from completing some walls. In later levels, this defense is a maze of energy walls. In the first couple levels, these are just drones you must shoot out of your way. You begin the game in your ship, fighting through a space stations defenses. This game is part space shooter and part platformer. You need to set the reactors of these stations to destruct. While the Empire has largely decayed, their robot-controlled space stations still keep humanity enslaved. "All from one, one from all, fighting for humanity." Long ago, the Vaxxian Empire overran the galaxy and enslaved most of humanity. You are Major Havoc, a clone and leader of a band of clones.

Mandalorian actor crying11/1/2023 “It’s good having vocal performers that are also sound designers. In “some of the funniest scenes,” he adds, they interact with Grogu, aka Baby Yoda, whose voice is created with a combination of sounds, including vocalizations of Skywalker sound supervisor David Acord and such mammals as a kinkajou and a human baby. “Similar to things we’ve done before, like with Jawas or Ewoks or whatnot, you pitch them up because they’re small, but then you perform them with a really gravelly voice,” explains Wood. Shirley Henderson, who played Babu Frik (as well as Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter franchise) provides the voice of the main Anzellan in The Mandalorian, while a loop group, actress Helen Sadler and even Skywalker Sound’s sound supervisor Matt Wood provided additional vocalizations for the Anzellans. One, Babu Frik, first appeared in The Rise of Skywalker. “They gave us a whole kit of different kinds of emotions and frightening sounds.” The Mandalorian(Disney+)Ĭharacters in the latest season of Disney+’s The Mandalorian include the species of small beings known as the Anzellans. And we did have access to the video game sounds, but we really wanted to try it fresh.” They turned to Misty Lee and Phil Kovats, the actors who perform the clickers in the video game. He had his mother bring a recorder to the hospital because he loved the sound he was making, even though he was practically on his deathbed.”ĭOC NYC Announces 2023 Shortlist for Features and Shortsīenavente adds that when the infected become clickers, “they make this iconic sound from the video game. Remembering the work of sound designer Chris Terhune, Benavente says, “I have a great picture of him with cayenne pepper and all these weird things that he put in his throat to try to make interesting sounds.” And sound designer Chris Battaglia “was unfortunately hospitalized with an infection and he had trouble eating or swallowing. “He had it down and he knew what he wanted,” says Benavente, adding that the series’ sound designers also provided their voices. Series creator Craig Mazin contributed a large part of the vocalizations for the infected. Benavente explains that the sounds had to remain loyal to the game while also supporting the cinematic feel of the series. HBO’s The Last of Us - based on the popular video game set in a postapocalyptic world - required the sound team to come up with the vocalizations for the infected and clickers.

Oversized graphic tee outfits11/1/2023 What more can you really ask for? The Best OG Oversized TeeĪs a guy who made a name for himself reworking grail-worthy vintage tees in the 2010s, Jerry Lorenzo is keenly attuned to the nuances that make a T-shirt worth the price of a very long, very boozy night out. At just 20 bucks a pop, it’s affordable enough to stock up on-and way cheaper than the tees in your closet it’s about to supplant. Load up on a handful of 'em in classic white now, and then scoop another handful in zesty shades of pastel when spring rolls back around. The data is still rolling in, but the point remains: you can wear this with just about anything in your closet and never feel underdressed. We've spent years trying to crack the science behind why a simple pocket can make a T-shirt go from feeling like underwear to a thoughtful top layer in its own right during the warmer months. This gently oversized pocket tee doesn't come with the Lemaire stamp of approval, but it's also available to buy whenever you want, no wait necessary. Uniqlo U’s GQ-favorite T-shirts might get a lot of shine around these parts, but the brand's main line is still putting out the kind of affordable, evergreen styles it's famous for.

Instead, like the Dickies and Vans everyone's wearing again, the raddest tees in 2022 take direct inspiration from '90s skateboarders: boxy and baggy and strangely flattering, cut from crisp, weighty cotton that's anything but sloppy. Thankfully, the oversized tees we're talking about are not of the quintuple-XL, Elizabethan-gown-length variety that all ringtone rappers were required by law to wear in their music videos. But don't worry: We're not about to tell you to start dressing like Soulja Boy circa 2007. So, if you want to learn more about styling your favorite graphic tee, keep reading for all the tips you need to rock them this year.Yes, oversized men's T-shirts are back.

Grand junction daily sentinel bike film11/1/2023 The City of Fruita has been working hard to establish itself as an outdoor recreation destination- whether it’s access to the Colorado National Monument or its expansive trail system for the past two decades. Much in the same way that the issues of Denver overshadow the rest of the state, the city of Fruita is often overshadowed by its larger sister city, Grand Junction. It requires planning, implementation, some risk, a bit of faith and a whole lot of patience that everything we’ve worked for as a community will come to fruition. Diversifying and growing economies doesn’t happen overnight. If I’ve learned anything over the past decade working on public projects in the Grand Valley, it’s that all of this stuff takes time. Collaboration is crucial as we strategize, plan and execute projects that make us all stronger. Each could not exist in their current form without the others. What happens in any one of these communities is felt in each of the others. While Fruita, Grand Junction, and Palisade are three separate communities with very different personalities, we’re really one big metropolitan area with a population of 151,000, a shared school district, a University and an airport- all connected by the Colorado River. The announcement of the BLM headquarters to Grand Junction as well as our increasing wages have placed the city in national headlines.īecause we are the Grand Junction Economic Partnership, people often assume we are only working for the city of Grand Junction when in fact, we are the economic development organization for all of Mesa County- including the city of Fruita, and the towns of Palisade, Collbran and Debeque. Large projects such as the Riverfront at Las Colonias Park have garnered attention across the state as have Grand Junction’s six Opportunity Zones. Most of that success has happened within the city of Grand Junction, which makes sense since most of the infrastructure, commercial real estate, transportation infrastructure, workforce and training are in the city. Collaboration across the valley has resulted in increased funding for marketing, infrastructure, schools, public safety, and air travel through a number of different mechanisms. Over the last few years, the Grand Valley has had a lot of wins and we continue to see our economy trending in a positive direction.
