A common spectre that attacks in this area are Magnolias. The almost maze-like structure of the mines has many dead-ends, some with chests containing Jokers and Belials' meat. Once the battle has been won, it is possible to continue right to go deeper into the mines. The Batter will then freeze, and say: " Show yourselves, corrupted children! I'm the voice of forgiveness that'll eliminate your calamitous forms."Īfter this statement, eight spectres will appear in a circle around him and attack, beginning the first battle between The Batter and Spectres. Past the entrance of the mines, The Batter will reach a room with only a yellow save box. There will be several Elsen both outside and inside the mines, mainly clustered around the entrance. The Elsen will be distraught, but allow access into the mines. The Elsen from before will ask The Batter about the Chief of Spectres as soon as he is spoken to, whereas The Batter will tell him that the Chief was not there. After Alpha joined The Batter's party, The Judge will tell The Player and The Batter that the Chief of Spectres is not in the Annex Tunnel, forcing them to return back above ground. He then will persuade The Player into adding the Add-On to The Batter's party. The Judge will explain that he was just passing through and is perplexed by the newly discovered Add-On. Alpha appeared in the Annex Tunnel for one reason or the other, where the Elsens mistake it as the Chief of Spectres. Inside the Annex Tunnel will be The Judge and the circular Add-On known as "Alpha". He will instead give The Player and The Batter the task to kill the Chief of Spectres inside the Annex Tunnel. The Elsen will explain that the mines are filled with aggressive spectres, but due to safety regulations, The Batter is not permitted to enter. The Player and The Batter begin the Zone 1 part of the game traversing areas around this mine. None of the characters, including The Batter, appear to object to this, which points to how very few of the OFF world's residents are human. Much of the smoke is bottled and sent to the other zones. The miner at the entrance asks The Batter if they are an inspector.ĭamien mainly consists of a smoke mine, where the Elsen release smoke from the Earth to form the air they breathe. The Batter will also encounter the first Add-On, Alpha, have his first Spectre battle, and encounter his first yellow save box, which doesn't allow him to return to The Nothingness. Two Elsens can also be seen at the station, although one is on the other side of the tram and cannot be spoken to by normal means.ĭamien is where the player learns about the first of the four elements, Smoke, which people need to breathe. It seems to be made up of little more than a tram station, though buildings are seen in the background. Elsen is the first area in Zone 1 that the player enters when they exit The Nothingness.

For many players, though, learning these moves was essential in becoming a better player and getting those big wins and cinematic kills. There’s nothing fun about being yeeted by a multi-directional RDFA or not being able to roll seamlessly into an attack.” Yeah…Fair enough. Player eXalin says they prefer “1.04, all day. Naturally, these weird and wonderful moves were labelled by the players, not by LucasArts. In 1.02, for example, you could execute a DBS (double backslash) and RDFA (rotational death from above), two strong moves that are ubiquitous in frag movies. Each version had its own quirks and bugs that would determine how you slash, jump and force pull. The multiplayer game had three public iterations: 1.02, 1.03 and 1.04. Your playing style and skill would also depend on which version of JK2 you had. The fact that it was a ‘smaller’ game was what made it great…Even if I went into a game with a disguised name, people could figure out who you were just by your play style and skill.”įor kicks, you can watch a player called Crash take down DarkLord a ton of times in his music-synchronised movie below. “Removing force in certain servers gave focus to different strategies and saber skills and vice versa. Savvy players made custom maps, mods and skins, minor bugs were intelligently abused to perform new tricks and saber parries and a tight-knit community of Star Wars fans formed via in-game chat and myriad online message boards.Īs one player called DarkLord tells us: “Even if you were a veteran player, there were still new moves and techniques to learn years later. Player-regulated duelling modes flourished capture the flag ‘captain’s games’ and manhunt games became a weekend ritual. What erupted from this limited palette of opportunity is, frankly, unbelievable. For one, you’re reliant on quick saves because progression through the far-spread checkpoints alone is gruelling. JK2’s story is an enjoyable and nostalgic story – despite some frustrating moments, such as a failed attempt at a stealth mission – but it certainly shows its age 20 years on. Once you’ve retrieved your lightsaber, you’ll gradually learn new force powers and improve the ones you know. Kyle takes a trip to the Valley of the Jedi for some quick force power acquisition and visits Luke Skywalker to earn back his lightsaber in a set of Jedi Trials, which are actually surprisingly tricky puzzles. He captures Jan Ors and orders his apprentice, Tavion, to kill her. This Sith serpent, who Kyle describes as an “overgrown Kowakian monkey lizard” – ouch – throws you around a landing pad and force chokes you to near-death. What’s supposed to be a swift raid of a remote Imperial outpost reveals the Imperial’s sinister plans to overthrow the New Republic and Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy using warriors jacked up with artificial force powers from the Valley Of The Jedi (let’s not overthink this one, eh?).Īfter you’ve ploughed through a couple of infuriating planets with blaster rifles, thermal detonators, rocket launchers and vaporising sniper rifles, you’ll confront Desann, the antagonist. JK2’s story starts out as a first-person shooter, with Kyle Katarn and his partner Jan Ors fulfilling a “blue milk run” tasked by Mon Mothma – you might remember her from Return Of The Jedi and Rogue One. JK2’s reign was a period of Star Wars fans at their nerdiest – and at their best. Even now, you can still find the dozens of ‘movies’ that show off mindboggling lightsaber acrobatics, bunny-hop chases, trip mine explosions, and force battles. But, more intriguingly, for its unique online multiplayer experience that spawned clans, player-made maps, custom game modes, and baffling combat techniques. Initially released on PC, Xbox and GameCube – and remastered for PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch in 2019 – JK2 garnered a cult following for its rewarding campaign. It also tests your puzzle-solving skills and promises nostalgic fan service moments with Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian and, briefly, your two favourite droids R2D2 and C3PO. In the campaign, you take the Jedi Trials and become free to dismember stormtroopers, force choke Dark Jedi, and clash sabers with a Sith Lord that’s half-man, half-lizard (that doesn’t seem so weird after The Rise Of Skywalker, does it?). In 2002, LucasArts and Raven Software’s Jedi Knight 2 ( JK2) put mercenary-turned-Jedi Kyle Katarn in your hands.

As the saying goes, “no one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans.” Still, few games in the past 20 years have truly given wannabe Jedi the chance to swashbuckle their way through the Outer Rim with a liberating lightsaber combat system. HR film can be over or underexposed several stops and still produce acceptable prints.ĪLSO SEE: Vintage Instamatic cameras: The boxy, iconic cameras pretty much everyone had in the 60s & 70s Because disc film negatives are so small, Kodak has given the new HR film improved sharpness and minimized the grain to accommodate normal enlargements. The new 15-shot disc film is called Kodacolor HR (for high resolution), and has a speed of 200 compared to the current Kodacolor II’s speed of 100. This means that you can keep your eye at the finder, watching expressions, without being distracted to pause and advance the film manually. You could shoot sequential action outdoors as though you had an expensive motorized 35mm model. Not a roll of film but a film disc - so thin there’s room in the camera for a cluster of electronics. Each time you press the shutter button of a disc camera, a tiny motor rotates the disc and advances the film to the next frame. Kodak designed this new generation of snapshot cameras around a disc of film with 15 small film frames radiating from a hub. They weigh an average of six to seven ounces and look like no other camera you’ve seen. Disc cameras fit many pocket shapes because they are only about 4-3/4 inches long, 3 inches high and 7/8 inch thick. While current 110-size cameras are lightweight, their long, slim shape is more conducive to a purse than a jacket pocket. Production on Kodak’s Disc camera stopped in 1988, although the company continued to manufacture the film for another decade.īy Lou Jacobs Jr, Los Angeles Times (California) July 25, 1982Ĭan you remember your first camera with a drop-in film cartridge in 126 or 110 size? Some of these were “ Instamatics,” a Kodak trade name that the company is supplanting with its innovative disc cameras and film.ĭisc photography is unique: You still drop the film in and snap the camera shut, but many features are new or operate more automatically than before. Making matters worse, in order to get the best quality print from disc film reels, print processors would have to upgrade to some specialty equipment… and many chose not to make that investment, instead using the same machines that printed from other types of film.Īs a result, pictures too often ended up being grainy, having poor color or a lack of definition - all of which led to the Disc’s quick demise. Photo by Michel Bussieres | Īs simple and convenient as using the camera was, there were quality issues that came along with using a negative that was just 8mm x 10.5mm in size. The new cameras were lightweight, foolproof (with auto-exposure and built-in flash), affordable, and used a brand new kind of film cartridge.Īs you can see in the images below, this was film mounted on a disc - which looked a lot like one of the old View-Master reels - rather than the traditional type of film that was spooled in a cartridge and returned as negatives in strips. The Kodak Disc camera was introduced with great fanfare in 1982. I figured, if dolls had feelings, she'd probably wish for a girl of 8 or 10, not a girl nearly 16. I also took a shine to her because she'd spent so long in a box with no one to love her. I love the way her dark skin looks in fashions. I was walking in a devastated and remorseful haze thinking, "Why didn't you buy that awesome doll you cheap fool?" -and I nearly walked into the shelf she was still sitting on! I had spoken with the wrong seller, the doll was still there! With trembling fingers, I pulled out the money and made the best purchase of my life. I asked the woman I thought had had her what happened to the doll and she said she thought she sold her. For a week or so, she weighed on my mind. At 15, twenty dollars seems like a fortune and I was cheap. The problem: the twenty dollar price tag. I was at an indoor flea market and we saw a boxed 1991 Pet Pals Skipper. As much as I loved the Rio doll, she just lacked Daphne's nostalgic charm. Although my sister favors early 80s and 2000s Barbie dolls, I gravitate toward late 80s and early 90s Barbie dolls. I bought a Rio de Janeiro Skipper at the store and made her Daphne's best friend. What became of Daphne in our doll games? I'm ashamed to say she took a backseat. One year, Dad bought us a bunch of 80s/90s Barbies on eBay for Christmas and one was a brand new (well, unopened) Courtney! I really love her because she's a treasured gift and it's cool to think that, nearly ten years after first holding Daphne and wondering who she was, I got to open one! If I don't buy it, I think, "If only I'd bought that 5th Courtney four years ago." Apart from good old Daffy, I have another Teen Time Courtney that is very sentimental. She's one of the dolls that I want to re-buy every time I see one. I have several other Teen Time Courtney dolls. One of Kocoum's daughters, Daphne was convinced she'd be a legendary star one day and was, to be honest, full of herself. What did I name Courtney? "Dystan." I'm pretty sure I was going for "Icing." Frostin' and Icing are great names for your dolls/kids-if you're a sugar-aholic!Īnyway, what made me a Skipper fanatic was the day in my teens when I gave "Dystan" the new persona of Daphne. When we were really young and played more by ourselves than together, she was Hawaiian Fun Barbie's sister. We took turns playing with her over the years. We both found her odd size and dread locked hair fascinating. The other Skipper-sized doll we got that night was Teen Time Courtney. This doll was tossed out by Mom early on. We weren't sure if the Cheerleader was a girl or a boy-a very flat chest, but different from Ken's, and short hair. I would have taken her too, you know, being so very generous and all, but my Memeré made me save one of the pretty girls for Shelly. I took all the pretty girl dolls, with the exception of Christina (Ice Capades), for myself. Being the eldest sister, I was allowed to take my pick first and, needless to say, I left the doll with butchered hair for my little sister. One of them vanished a long time ago-we both recall a Teen Fun Cheerleader Teen doll with butchered hair. In our first lot of second hand Barbies from our grandparents, I believe there were two Skipper sized dolls.

Since the spaces, both on the main scale and the Vernier scale, are numbered both to the right and to the left from zero, any angle can be measured. To measure an angle of over 90°, subtract the number of degrees as indicated on the dial from 180°, as the dial is graduated from opposite zero marks to 90° each way. To measure an angle between the beam and the blade of 90° or less, the reading may be obtained direct from the graduation number on the dial indicated by the mark on the swivel plate. When the edges of the beam and blade are parallel, a small mark on the swivel plate coincides with the zero line on the graduated dial. The bevel protractor consists of a beam, a graduated dial and a blade which is connected to a swivel plate (with Vernier scale) by thumb nut and clamp. It reads to 5 arcminutes (5′ or 1 / 12°) and can measure angles from 0° to 360°. The bevel protractor is used to establish and test angles to very close tolerances. Universal bevel protractors are also used by toolmakers as they measure angles by mechanical contact they are classed as mechanical protractors. It has wide application in architectural and mechanical drawing, although its use is decreasing with the availability of modern drawing software or CAD. Sometimes Vernier scales are attached to give more precise readings. A bevel protractor is a graduated circular protractor with one pivoted arm used for measuring or marking off angles. |
