One of the first vendors to port to Linux was SideFx software and its Houdini 3D animation system but the real fun began when the Visual Effects Society organized a summit where 24 of its members companies met and jointly asked the vendor community to port to Linux. Linux’s use quickly spread from servers to workstations as key vendors started porting their applications to the widely growing operating system. In 1998 for example Daryll Strauss at Digital Domain used a wall of Linux servers to help render some of the computer intensive water scenes in the Academy Award winning Titanic.

In case there is no solution to my question, it follows that a MacBook is intended only for people who are willing and able to use passwords, fingerprints or Apple Watch. Without knowing the password, you are not locked out, you just can't install software. Also, my question has nothing to do with the fact that the password is requested before installing new software. The user has no capabilities for unlocking via Apple Watch. Instead of a password, fingerprints should not be stored either. I am not looking for any hints on which way the user should remember a password. I would like to disable this option to avoid accidental lockout. However, you need to know it to be able to use the computer again. The lock screen appears without having to know the password.

The enemies and locales get the typical facelift treatment with smoothed and enhanced models, but you could easily change it back to the blocky originals or add new effects like motion blur and enhanced lighting to bring the game into the modern age. Every tweak, every improvement can be dialled back or increased to your liking, letting you as the player tailor the experience to your liking. ![]() Furthermore, you have the added benefit of customisation. Hidden in the add-on section also, is the ability to play the N64 version of the game, complete with glaring omissions and grimy CRT filter. What makes this remaster so special is not only the fact that you have the core Quake experience, with all episodes intact and resolution pushed to the highest current fidelity on PS4, but this also includes all the additional expansion content from the nineties and additional episodes made this year by Machine Games. I am glad to say that Nightdive have continued this beautifully with Quake and I couldn’t be happier. With each of their many remasters taking everything that is loved about the games that they resurrect, but with modernisations that make them more playable than ever, all without losing the look and feel of the original. What is great about Night Dive is that they ‘get it’. I swear, without these guys the likes of Turok, Doom 64 and Shadowman would have been lost to time. That is until now of course, thanks to the efforts of the ever-impressive Night Dive Studios and their affinity with retro shooters. While there have been a few expansions and a healthy modding community for the game since its inception, there has not been a true rerelease for the game since the N64 port came out in 1998. However, despite all the praise I want to heap into this game, Quake is one that has unfortunately fallen by the wayside over the past twenty-five years. While Doom was influential and made FPS games popular, Quake was the first time an FPS made our jaws hit the floor, especially when you consider that this game came out in the same year as Duke Nukem 3D. When now you see awkwardly vertical pointed pencil shaped weapons, we saw an arsenal that empowered us against the hordes of horrors that we had to face. Instead of the muddled polygons that make up the enemies, we saw terrifying machinations of the flesh that made our skin crawl. Where now you may see muddy textures, back then we saw highly detailed gothic architecture. ![]() ![]() Back in 1996, we had not seen anything like this. When looking at the screenshots in the context of today, it may be difficult to see how a game that looks like this, could have been considered such a technical achievement, but it was. Let’s not forget also, that Quake was the game that popularised the concept of a deathmatch, speedrunning and even machinima. With the result being Quake and the engine powering it becoming a key component for most first-person shooters that would dominate the late nineties, with gems such as Half-Life, Call of Duty and Soldier of Fortune all being built using a form of the Quake engine. Nobody seemed to want to take things further, until Romero, Carmack and other Id crew decided to propel this sort of action into true 3D for the first time. ![]() After Id had previously shown everyone how it was supposed to be done with Doom, there were a stream of clones, but few would venture further from the run and frag gameplay, set in pseudo 3D corridors that changed dependent on the theme of the game title. Back in 1996, the first-person shooter was in danger of becoming somewhat stagnant. However, to accept this position for the series is to deny its importance and impact on the gaming industry as a whole. As part of the Id Software legacy, it is often overshadowed by its forebears, whether that be Wolfenstein or Doom, with them getting all the love with their fancy alternative World War 2 narratives or bombastic demon slaying gunplay. While it should need no introduction, Quake is one of those games that tends to be forgotten in this day and age.

I did not have to mulligan the 6 rounds leading up to the final. I felt like my deck was proving itself without the adjustments that they thought were necessary to make it good. Every one of them had opinions on why their deck lost, and what I should do to make my deck better. No one had anticipated facing such a weird deck whose only value was the 12 dual lands that I had bought for $5 each, two of them from the shop owner along with a Storm Seeker the morning of the tournament to finish the deck, and 4 $2 Birds of Paradise. The first guy I played had a deck that was the envy of the entire shop meta, a goblin burn deck with Goblin Kings, Goblin Balloon Brigades, Lightning Bolts, Chain Lightnings, and the new Goblin Grenade card from Fallen Empires. These guys were totally pissed, because they were all early 20s college guys, and all had showed up with Moxen and other Power 9, with decks that they thought were streamlined and tuned to bring the fire. It was single elimination and I ended up smoking the field, making it to the final against the shop owner without any real competition. Typically, all I needed was a single land to get my beast rolling, but every once in a great while, I was totally mana screwed, drew no land at all, and lost due to it. If you don't have any lands, or you only have lands, reshuffle, and draw your opening hand again." Only playing 12 lands in a 60 card deck, I figured that this could only help me. ![]() He said, "On your first turn, draw your cards. I had never heard of the mulligan rule either, and the mid 30s shop owner told me about it at the start of the tournament. I had never played with these folks at the shop before. ![]() I felt that the deck was a masterpiece, especially because it had no Power, and I had smoked every play group in my high school and my buddies at the local university who I had faced with it up to this point. I was too poor for any of the still relatively available Power 9 at that time. I went with my secret weapon, a 60 card R G W deck with 4 Manabarbs, Black Vices, Howling Mines, Llanowar Elves, Birds of Paradise, Kird Apes, Scryb Sprites, Lightning Bolts, Giant Growths, Swords to Plowshares, Disenchants, and only 12 lands, the appropriate ABUR dual lands with no basics. I went for my first tournament ever, a little shop tourney with a $5 entry fee and only the winner got any prizes (5 packs of Fallen Empires!). It was a very casual playgroup as far as 60-card magic went. Also Earthbond is banned, so just lol the ban list on that person next time they see them. To be honest, I don't even remember what commanders they were or even if I ever gave them another attempt. Between how ticked off I was and the splitting headache I got from being ticked off, I ended up leaving 2 hours earlier than I normally did. For the rest of the night, 5 attempted games of EDH, I was the number 1 target and got knocked out first every game before my decks could do anything. Everyone sat down for a 60-card 8 person ffa and my combo deck turn 2 won ( Fastbond/ Crucible of Worlds/Zuran orb combo into Forbidden Orchard and Massacre wurm for the win). I made a 60-card combo deck I wanted to test and 3 new edh decks to play.

Suicide and Yaffa have appeared onstage with the reformed Hanoi although not at the same time. Yaffa is also touring and recording with the reformed New York Dolls. Sami Yaffa now plays in a band called Mad Juana with his wife, Karmen Guy, and is based in New York City. They have released two new albums and toured heavily since then.Ģ005 and beyond: Nasty Suicide works as a pharmacist. In 2002 Monroe and McCoy reformed the band, with two members of the Electric Boys, and a drummer who had previously featured in Monroe's solo project. The members spent the next 15 years in various short-lived projects, and although they worked with numerous artists including Iggy Pop, Stiv Bators, Steve Stevens, Little Steven, Samantha Fox, Sebastian Bach, Sylvain Sylvain, Nicky Hopkins, Joan Jett and Guns N' Roses they never achieved anything resembling their earlier success Although replaced by Terry Chimes, drummer on The Clash's first album, and René Berg from the Idle Flowers, the band never recovered first Yaffa and then Monroe left, and in 1985 the band folded. The album had just been released when disaster struck in December of that same year: Razzle was killed in a car accident (the driver was Vince Neil, singer with the band Mötley Crüe). They recorded their fifth album in January 1984 with producer Bob Ezrin in his home town Toronto. ![]() In 1983 the band signed to CBS Records and appeared to be on the cusp of gaining commercial acceptance. In Finland, however, Hanoi Rocks is known as the Finnish rock band who at their time had come closest to real international fame, only much later giving way to such groups as HIM. The re-release of Hanoi Rocks' albums on CD was in large part due to efforts by Guns N' Roses via their own record label UZI Suicide. ![]() They have been cited as an influence by major bands such as Guns N' Roses and Manic Street Preachers. Later that year Casino was fired and replaced by Razzle (Nicholas Dingley).Īlthough the band never gained significant commercial success, they have a considerable cult following and critical acclaim for their 'sleazy' yet melodic style of music. In 1981 they moved to Stockholm and in 1982 to London to take advantage of the livelier music scene in these cities. The following year Piesnack, Sirola and Nedo were replaced by guitar player Andy McCoy (Antti Hulkko), bass player Sam Yaffa (Sami Takamäki) and drummer Gyp Casino (Jesper Sporre). Hanoi Rocks was formed in Helsinki in 1979 and the first line-up included vocalist and saxophone player Michael Monroe (Matti Fagerholm), guitar player Nasty Suicide (Jan Stenfors), guitar player Stefan Piesnack, bass player Nedo and drummer Peki Sirola. Although their album sales are strong, they are more widely known for their energetic live performances. According to Finnish radio and TV personality Jone Nikula (who was also Hanoi Rocks' tour manager in the 2000s), Hanoi Rocks' albums have sold between 780,000 and 1,000,000 copies around the world, but mostly in Scandinavia and Japan. They were also one of the first rock bands to tour in Asia, and were the first western rock band to play in Delhi. In the 80s, Hanoi Rocks were the most successful Finnish band internationally and are still popular in the United States, Japan, and the UK. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier.
