![]() One issue with latex is that it dries in a day, but doesn’t cure for a few weeks. ![]() I used latex paint (ultra pure white, the real teal, pimento, paradise sky and cherries jubile). Paint or stain the jumbo jenga blocks if desired. I used a belt sander for this part to make it faster, a regular hand sander will work too. (Sometimes those kids toys can be useful :-) ). I used a miter saw and set up a stop block on the left side so I didn’t have to measure every piece.Ĭut 54 jumbo jenga pieces. 1 – 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ from a 4×4 postĬut the 2×3 boards into 7 1/2″ long pieces, you should be able to get 12 – 7 1/2″ pieces from each 2×3 board.54 – 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ jenga block pieces cut from the 2×3 boards.2 – drawer handles – optional for carrying crate.wood glue – optional for carrying crate.26 – 1 1/4″ wood screws – optional for carrying crate.scrap piece of 4″ x 4″ post – optional dice (actually measure 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″).1 – 1″ x 8″ x 10′ board – optional carrying crate (actually measure 3/4″ x 7 1/4″ x 10′).How to Make a DIY Jumbo Jenga Yard Game Materials I also made a carrying crate that doubles as the Jumbo Jenga stand, it has enough room for the 54 jumbo jenga pieces and dice. A ‘2×3’ board that you buy is actually 1.5 inches thick, 2.5 inches wide and we can cut them 7.5 inches long…perfect! ![]() The traditional Jenga pieces are 1.5 cm thick, 2.5 cm wide and 7.5 cm long, making the jumbo jenga pieces couldn’t be simpler using 2×3 boards. You can totally play the traditional way too. They will roll and whatever color it lands on, they have to move a block of that color. Each side of the dice (die) is a different color and there is a corresponding set of blocks in each color. The roll ‘n go version puts a fun twist on the game, and I kept it simple for my young kids. ![]() I thought it would be fun to make a giant sized version for the yard with a ‘throw ‘n go’ option (I’m calling it Roll ‘n Go). Hi, I’m Amy and I love to build things and share plans at Hertoolbelt! My kids love to play the traditional Jenga. ![]() ![]() I’m not sure why he would drop by just to tell them that, but it works out nicely, because he can enjoy an afternoon with the boys in this tournament, and if he wins he can use the purse to go on a vacation with Bulma’s family. So why is Future Trunks still here? Wouldn’t he have gone back to his own alternate future? Well, Bulma explains that he did, and now he’s come back to inform everyone that he beat Androids 17 and 18 in his timeline. ![]() I think this is the first time Krillin openly expresses confidence that he could kick Tien’s ass if he had to. Yamcha and Tien are also there, but Krillin wasn’t as worried about them. So, starting out, Krillin likes his odds, until he notices Gohan, Trunks, and Piccolo competing on the other stages. You lose when you fall off the stage, and the last man standing on each stage goes on to compete in the next round. All of the entrants are divvied up onto eight moving platforms and they all fight at once in a king-of-the-mountain style battle royal. There’s no preliminaries, like the Tenakichi Budokai. It’s probably because Gyosan Money arranged it with only his son’s imagination as a guide, and clearly money was no object. On the other hand, the tournament in Movie 9 is an overbooked mess. This movie has a lot in common with the 25th Budokai Saga that’s coming up. Satan, and the Z-Fighters only show up for their own amusement. There’s a few rough spots, but not the blatant discontinuities we’ve seen in the previous films.īeyond that, this tournament bears some resemblance to the layout of the later tournaments we’ve seen in the franchise, where the winner earns a bout with Mr. Goku’s dead when he’s supposed to be dead, the other characters are alive when they’re supposed to be alive, and this movie isn’t taking place during some other crisis in the anime. Thanks to the seven year gap between the Cell Games and the rest of the series, Movie 9 actually fits reasonably well in the main continuity. Chocolate bun, strawberry dog, maybe some syrup as toppings.Īnyway, this movie does have some historical significance to the rest of the series. Do you think they sell hot dogs too, or is it like an ice cream confection that’s shaped like a hot dog? That’d be an awesome idea. Man, I sure could go for an Ice Nice right about now. He brought a bunch of snacks to eat while he watches.īut there’s some problems, and we’ll get into that behind the cut. So this looks pretty promising, right? Even Goku’s looking forward to this movie, and he’s not supposed to be in it, because he’s dead. Also, he jumps out of a helicopter and chops a bunch of roofing tiles in half on his way down. Kid wanted aliens, so dad got him aliens.Īnd the WORLD CHAMPION OF MARTIAL ARTS AND CELL GAMES WINNER*, MISTER SATAN!!!!! My guess here is that the kid saw the Cell Games on TV, told his dad he wanted more of that, and he has the money and free time to make that happen. Here’s the deal: The “richest man in the world”, Gyosan Money, is staging an enormous martial arts tournament as a birthday present for his son. ![]() Did you know you can’t make bald women in the Xenoverse games? It’s bullshit.Īnyway, do you like these four characters? Well, too bad, because they’ll never be seen again. Let me make a fat woman with pointy ears, dammit. If Bandai-Namco is reading this, I’d like to point out that this is what I want to be able to do in Xenoverse 3. They look like someone went in the “Create-a-wrestler” feature in a WWE game and hit “randomize”, and it’s pretty awesome. ![]() Okay, so to start us off, these four “alien warriors” disembark from a spaceship. Like that automatically makes a DBZ movie better. They say Movie 9 is better than Movie 8, simply because this one’s not a Broly movie. Movie 9 is sandwiched in the middle of the Broly Trilogy, and I feel like people forget about it because of that, and more importantly, I feel like people forget its flaws. People love to say how Broly’s a bad character, because he’s a big muscle-bound brute who barely talks, and he has “no personality.” Well even if you agree with that, it goes triple for Bojack. I often use Bojack whenever I’m defending Broly. There’s some really cool visuals and character designs, but Bojack is a really weak villain, and large chunks of the plot have absolutely nothing to do with him. “Dragon Ball Z: The Galaxy’s at the Brink!! The Super Incredible Guy.” I don’t want to critique the Japanese titles too harshly, but if you swapped the titles for Movies 8 and 9, would it really matter? Funimation may have been a little on the nose in naming the movies after the villain, but at least you can tell them apart. This movie premiered on July 10, 1993, after Episode 192 of the anime, but before 193. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Off sherlock solicitor parco di aguzzano casale alba 2 wicked lasers torch for sale glaze.

If you're interested, you can download it from I have made a corresponding fix in the current dev snapshot. And beaTunes 5 currently does not do that. I think you are absolutely right to think that when you select a song with genre Indie Dance / Nu Disco those songs that have the exact same genre name should be ranked highest. But to a degree the match quality slider at the bottom of the settings can help with this. The weight slider does not help with tuning the similarity at all. In general, the similar genre rule will not help you selecting identical genres. When there are no other rules, there is no effect. The sliders work as weights on different rules in relation to each other. When using just one rule, turning the slider all the way up to 5, will not make a difference. The reason you see matches with the genre Alternative Rock is, because Indie Dance is related to Indie, which is often used synonymously with Alternative, which is often used synonymously with Alternative Rock. So for an EDM song, you can find another EDM song. This ontology lets beaTunes find songs that are labeled with similar genres. This is based on an internal genre ontology. The trailing (Rock) is just a hint what a top level genre for the displayed genre may be. When you see something like Indie Dance / Nu Disco (Rock), the entry for the song is in fact Indie Dance / Nu Disco. ![]() Now let me explain, what's happening here. If I have done anything to provoke this, I apologize. ![]() But please understand that I am a human being and don't respond well to commands or being yelled at-even if it's just via email. I understand your frustration and I'm sorry you are frustrated. I’ve been making so many train wrecks until now! :D Transitions are much smoother and easier to make when they’re similar - like both doubled or halved. I’ve also discovered the importance of the secondary BPM category. (Maybe this could be implemented somehow as a future feature within the app? But it’s no big deal.) I was not using this method when beaTunes froze up yesterday. I’m also able to, if I turn off genre in the filter, gather a broader range like songs that contain “tech house” “house” or “deep house.” Some of these are so close in sound anyway. The songs just seem to pop up quicker since the selection is smaller. I’ve noticed a big increase in speed when I create in iTunes a specific smart playlist for the genre of the playlist I’m building for beaTunes to use. I went nuts yesterday and made ‘2’ three hour long sets for this weekend and didn’t find any duplicates so far - even using the same song that the previous duplicate occurred. The rebuild of the database seems to have fixed the search box issue. Very good! 5.0.1 is working just fine for me at the moment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sumire is the token simple, but complex game of the year. ![]() There’s some of the most memorable maps out of the entire series too, such as the English manor in Dartmoor to the Burj Al-Ghazali in Dubai, and they’re all free to explore. From a real estate agent to a tango musician, the possibilities are endless. The third entry of the rebooted series is the ultimate Hitman experience, as all of the levels are enormous, there are countless different ways to go about assassinating targets, and it features some of the most ridiculous disguises yet. Hitman 3 isn’t just one of the best games of the year, but it’s also the best Hitman game of them all, according to Metacritic. And, though it’s a little short, the story mode is incredible, and it’s even more satisfying for players who are well versed in the Guilty Gear lore. ![]() The anime-style animation has never looked better, the soundtrack has never been more adrenaline pumping, and the arenas have never been more detailed. However, the Guilty Gear series has always been under appreciated in the fighting game genre, and Strive is no different, as it’s arguably the best in the series. Strive isn’t best suited for beginners, as there’s such a deep learning curve than simply being a button basher, and in that respect, it’s much more like Street Fighter than Tekken. Even though there aren’t as many maps as there should be for a full game right now, the terrain and architecture in the current maps are great and there’s dozens of hours for players to get out of them. The online game is bloody, exciting, and it features so many deep customisation options. See also Pokemon Legends Arceus Could Finally Make Legendary Pokemon Actually Matter ![]() There’s so much more to it than simply tapping square to swing a sword, as there’s axe hurling and bow sniping too. 9 Chivalry II – 86Ĭhivalry II is a third-person sword fighting game that’s so much more arcadey than its peers, which is why it’s so much more fun than any of them too. Given how successful Overboard has become, it’d be great to see more interactive games in the same series, just with different plots and locations. It encourages repeat plays too, as it’s short but has countless different outcomes. Overboard essentially works as a reverse detective game, where the player has to get away with murder, which is such a unique premise for a video game. 10 Overboard – 86Īs Clue-type murder mystery movies are getting more popular with Knives Out and Murder Mystery, the same goes for video-games too. Whether it’s assassinating targets with piano wire, helping a flower fulfil its life, or those two iconic plumbers doing everything but plumbing, there’s so much to enjoy across every platform. However, not including re-releases of older games or video games that were already released on different platforms last year, there’s just as equal of an amount of triple-A games that have hit the sweet spot with critics too. Between top-down puzzle games to ingenious 2D platformers, it’s the indie games that currently reign supreme midway in to 2021. Gamers are still waiting for the truly boundary pushing and innovative next-gen games to be released at the back end of the year, but that has at least given players a chance to discover more indie games.

One of the few dungeon crawler deck-builder games released before Slay the Spire’s momentous arrival, Guild of Dungeoneering contains some of the same elements that made the former so captivating. Guild of Dungeoneering Guild of Dungeoneering This is a knockabout tale of escalation, endlessly retold.10. Many RPGs allow you to balance the levelling curve in some way, of course, even if it just comes down to fleeing a pack of goblins you aren't ready to cut to pieces just yet, but Guild of Dungeoneering takes it all one step further, mingling the lineage of Hero Quest, say, with something that feels like Katamari Damacy. This grindiness, and an inevitable sense of repetition that sets in, is largely offset by a lovely Biro-and-paper artstyle that invokes the kind of rough-and-ready RPGs that were played in the back of an exercise book during maths class, and by that central concept that sees you leading an adventurer not so much through a dungeon as through the upwards trajectory of becoming a hero. ![]() It's clever, but it also makes the game rather grindy - up until the point that you realise the game's character balancing - somewhat ironically given the theme - is all over the place, and you can hack through most of the surprisingly lengthy adventure unlocking just three class types. ![]() You can spend your loot on new rooms for your base, some of which give you new character classes, and some of which grant new basic cards or even amulets that you can take into battle, feathering your classes in different directions. This gold is spent back at the guild, and this is perhaps the game's weak point. The soundtrack is clever and funny, and yet it was still a delight when a patch added volume controls. The only constant is the gold you collect along the way. All XP is wiped when the dungeon is finished, and the next time around you get to do it all over again. Levelling is a quick business, and each fight will probably see you picking up a new trinket to fill one of four item slots, allowing you to pick between the range of new offensive cards offered by a sword, say, or the extra health point granted by a piece of body armour. Each dungeon is a one-shot affair, generally with a gimmick, such as a boss you will have to defeat after a turn counter has ticked down, or a tile you have to reach, and it's your job to tempt your dungeoneer in the right direction in both the way you build your dungeon and the treats you throw into its chambers.Ĭrucially, you're generally trying to get your dungeoneer ready for the big battle that lies ahead too, and that means levelling them up by throwing in a monster that they can already handle in a fight, and then throwing in one that's a bit more dangerous, and then a bit more dangerous, and then. Instead, you play as the dungeon, choosing from the cards you're regularly dealt to lay down rooms, and then populating them with monsters and filling them with loot. Outside of fights, you relinquish direct control of your dungeoneer. Throughout all of this, though, the focus on tempo remains central to proceedings: if you can't do any damage yourself, you should at least be encouraging your foe to waste their turn too.īeyond the battling, though, Guild of Dungeoneering is a much stranger beast. Pretty soon, you're juggling cards that allow you to regain health if your attack is successful, and you're stopping off at fountains that may allow you to see your enemy's hand or limit you to a certain number of cards. This is still just the most basic layer of the fun. Then there are blocks for both physical and magical attacks, lightning strikes, and unblockable moves. Alongside physical attacks, for example, you can land magic attacks. ![]() It's pleasantly busy, with each class having their own particular tricks to play in battle, and a range of complicating factors to think about. When your dungeoneer encounters a monster, it's card-battling time, your deck against their deck. In combat, sure, it's all pretty traditional stuff. I've been playing Guild of Dungeoneering on and off for a week, and I've only recently spotted it: this is an RPG where you play as the game balancing. But far weirder is the role that the player is truly lumbered with for much of the adventure. The classes in Guild of Dungeoneering are pretty weird: there's the Cat Burglar, for example, who talks about lobbing kitties at her foes, and there's the Shapeshifter, who longs to be able to transform into a bag of silver coins. ![]() ![]() ![]() Song uses Kaolin - her favorite Omniverse app - to inspect 3D datasets, visualize 3D outputs of a model and render synthetic datasets. “NVIDIA Omniverse apps like Kaolin and Audio2Face, and NVIDIA DIB-R models support artists who are switching from traditional creations to owning new experiences in virtual worlds.” “My work aims to give traditional art forms new life, as many existing cultural creations don’t yet exist in a 3D world, only 2D,” Song said.

![]() ![]() While just wearing them with you as a personal emblem can call on the mystical powers of the pixiu, there are some ways of wearing it that can optimize it’s effectiveness. You might like that color combination though.įurther more crystals are of earth element, and would provide a source of strength for the metal pi yao to draw on. Even though jade would be a good combination of symbolism as well, I just feel that green with gold can be an eyesore for a bracelet. Personally, I prefer crystal beads such as citrine, garnet, black agate or onyx as they supercharge the wealth symbolism. But they are pretty much meant to serve the same purpose. This is when the bracelets resemble more like bangles rather than bracelets. So if you are wearing a pixiu bracelet to call on it’s magic rather than just for making a fashion statement, the charm itself should be made of metal.Ĭatching onto this feng shui concept, jewelers have also designed pixiu charm bracelets that are made fully of metal without the band of beads. This is because metal is associated with the Chien trigram which represents heaven.Ĭharms made of earth material such as crystals would then be tied to the attributes linked to that particular type of gemstone. Keep in mind that the most potent feng shui charms should always be made of metal such as bronze, brass, silver and gold. Crystals such as citrine and jade are pretty popular too. Then there are also those that are made with metal alloy and plated with gold. While the more affordable bracelets consist of charms made out of bronze, silver and even plastic, the more expensive ones are made out of 24k gold. ![]() ![]() I don’t know how true that is, but that’s the answer from a reputable jeweler. If you allow me to side-track a little, when I recently purchased one as a gift for a friend and asked the store manager what the elastic string that holds the beads and charm together was made of, he answered that it’s high quality fishing line. ![]() This also means that the price of such bracelets depends on the material of the charm itself and the type of crystals used as beads. They mostly consist of a pixiu charm that is stringed with beads made out of different types of crystals. The pixiu bracelets available these days in jewelry stores and feng shui malls have mostly settled on a particular form of design. This is also in part to how piyao bracelets these days have become more and more beautiful too. So carrying it around as jewelry, maybe in the form of a bracelet or pendant on a necklace can serve the user a dual role of both calling on wealth luck and for protection against bad luck.īecause bracelets are easy to wear as accessories, pixiu bracelets have become the accessory of choice for those who seek to call on the celestial powers of the creature. Therefore, the use and placement of it is mainly to attract wealth luck, and also to appease the Grand Duke. And it is also the pet of the Grand Duke. In short, the pixiu is a celestial creature highly associated with wealth. If you don’t fully know the story of the pi xiu, or pi yao, then you should check out it’s tale of how it became a creature that eats gold and never defacating. Part of it’s popularity can also be attributed to the pixiu being a cute-looking likable celestial creature. And many would even insist that it’s popularity has grown with each passing year. Then disappear when the market gets tired of it or when it suddenly doesn’t seem trendy anymore.īut in the world of symbolic feng shui, the pixiu bracelet has survived the test of time. In every industry, trends tend to spruce up out of nowhere from time to time. ![]() |
