Out of Ammo | PSVR Review Em Português | Vale a Pena ou Não? - Duration: 12:21.

Hello Gamers, my name is Jogador Plays, and welcome to another review of

a game for the playstation VR, Gamers, today I will do the review of a game

called, Out of Ammo, before anything else I want to Thank

you so much RocketWerkz and Zen Studios, for giving me a key, to

to try this game. Gamers, I have no obligation to speak well or ill

of the game, all I am going to say here is my personal opinion

and my experience with the game. So Gamers, let's start it this review of out of ammo.

Gamers in out of Ammo, as soon as you start the game you will go to the menu

as is normal in all games, except that the game menu is something out of the ordinary, Gamers,

the menu is a firing range, which gives us several weapons and several explosives for us

to test, we can test on targets or even on enemies, and if by chance you feel a bit annoyed

of testing on enemies, how about playing a little basket

it's true basket , in a firing range.

In Out of Ammo you have three missions in place of the campaign, they are

all different. In the Misson Overwatch, we are in a Sniper's nest

using a sniper rifle, of course, where we have to eliminate the enemies

that approach our allies, by doing this our soldiers can be

rescued by air, if not we fail the mission. The second mission

is called Vertigo, in this mission we are accompanied by a drum shotgun

like the AA12 that is brutal, and we have to hack a computer that is in the middle

of the room in a penthouse, seems to be easy I know gamers, but while the computer is being

hacked, the enemies will appear from all directions and as if it were not

enough, we have to put a code on the computer so he can continue

to hack if he don't do tha the hacking will start again from scratch, while we are being harmed.

The Third mission was the one I liked the most, in this mission, we survived the fall of an airplane, and

we have to endure until we are rescued, and for that we only have a pistol and some

scattered ammunition, here we have to make the shots count because we can

became surrounded and without ammunition, which we do not want Gamers.

Apart from these three missions that are part of the campaign we have

the survival mode, which consists of 8 maps, but there is something that differs

a lot from the missions. Here we have to use strategie of how

and where to put our defenses and the types of soldiers to stay in them to protect

but it is not everything, us the player we

have the ability to possess a soldier and to play in his place, you position

everything, you can be the soldier and shoot at enemies.

The maps play relatively the same and they all have the same objective, but in a different scenario.

The objective is to protect our base from

enemy attacks, placing defenses and attack points

we can play strategy, we can play as a soldier and we can even use

special attacks like call a bombardment, and the best

is that we can do all that at the same time, every wave of enemies that passes the difficulty increases

and believe me it can become quite difficult.

Gamers, In addition to the campaign mode, the game still brings the online mode.

In this online mode we can play with friends or with other

players, doing the campaign missions or even survival mode which really

is a plus for this game, in addition to this online co-op also exists the

leadeboards where we can compare our score with those of other online players.

In Out of Ammo, there is only one possibility at the moment for

the controllers, which is the moves, neither the Dualshock 4 nor the aim controller work

with this game, but maybe and I hope they will change it with a

update, because I think the aim controller would be ideal in this game, with the moves we can

only teleport and turn in angles, but otherwise we have full control of the character.

Gamers, I did't have many traction problems with the moves

but where I detected more failures was to reload the weapons, Ii didn't want to reload or put the magazine or

pull the lever of the weapon, and sometimes I saw tremors in the sights, but also

it may be the way I have my setup, I've tried other ways

and it's still the same, so I do not know what it might be.

Gamers, I was playing around 1.80 cm away from the camera and I

I had no traction problems, besides the one I mentioned previously

otherwise the game was a smooth, it is possible to play standing up or sitting down

I prefer to play standing, but it fits all tastes, anyway the game will work fine.

Gamers, the gameplay in Out of Ammo is good, but I think it might be better with the aim

Controller because we are using guns, but using the moves is good

you can aim well, and pointing at enemies is usually good where you shoot is where the bullet usually goes.

Gamers, the graphics of the game, are beautiful for the style of drawing that the game has

but you can notice many jagged lines in the game as if there was no anti alising at all

and when you see through a scope at long distances everything is very ugly

and without detail, maybe it could be for playing in a normal ps4, but I think it should

have looked good on a normal and for the ps4 pro, but besides that, what the game have, it's well done.

The sound of the weapons is very good, not realistic, but also the style that the game has

is not to be realistic, but it is really good, the music is

incredible, I was enjoy myself on the music while playing the mission Vertigo

I was dancing here, you can not even imagine.

Gamers, the difficulty of the game is not easy, in the beginning its easy

but the longer the mission lasts the greater the number of

enemies and the type of enemies, while in the beginning may appear one or two

later appears 10, in survival mode is equal, the higher the number of waves

the more enemies come and the more variety of enemies, and they attack from more sides

so no, the game is not easy, but you can always go online to get some help.

For those who are more interested in trophies, for trophy hunters, and for those that like

to receive that pinnnn, like me, the game offers 17 trophies to do

but unfortunately it has no platinum trophy

it's a shame because I love having platinum

but this game does not offer platinum, but offers trophies to do, which is always good

to have goals in the game.

Gamers, the playing time, and this will seem strange, it only depends on the player

if you go to the survival mode the game lasts until the base is destroyed

which can be 5 minutes to 4 hours and this in different maps

but the missions is different there is a goal, they are not very big in time, but it does offer a good time to play

the bad thing is that there are only 3 missions, but who knows if in the future, maybe they

will release some more and I hope so, so do it, make it happen.

Gamers, what can come in a challenge to some is the price and ig what the game brings is worth the price.

The price of the game here in Portugal is 14.99€ in other places can be different, or more expensive or cheaper.

I would say that this game is worth every cent and some more

the game brings two modes of play, campaign and survival

and still brings cooperative online mode, this game brings more than many games brought

with greater prices. I remember there are games at 20 €, only with a story mode so to speak

where the story only last fot 20 minutes, which is sad.

My final verdict for Out of Ammo is an 8 out of 10

A very solid 8 that can be higher

Gamers, I don't have many complaints about the game

or something that might point out that it's wrong, but there are some things

that could take a few touches here and there.

Like the fact that the other controllers do not work, like the

aim controller and the dualshock 4, but it is something that I hope that they include in a future update

especially the aim controller, another point that they could correct

is the anti alising that in normal ps4 it seems that it dosen't exist, as I mentioned the graphics seen in the

distance in the scopes is all blurred and without details, it becomes ugly, and the fact of not always

wanting to reload the weapons but this again can be a defect in

the way that I have everything setup and not the game. But apart from this Gamers, the game is fun

I never got bored in survival mode because every wave that passed the game

became more challenging, for many it can be boring, being there several times

doing the same thing, but in my case and I really get myself bored in these things

it did not happen to me, I was watching myself playing in the city, I was already in the wave 65, and it didn't

seem that I was already playing for a long time, or that I was in such a high wave

there were always new things coming, and I had to pay attention to protec

my base. It's hard to explain, but the game was

quite challenging and fun and never bothered me in this regard

The 3 missions of the campaign are a lot of fun

I loved the last misson a lot, it only one pistol and few ammunition on the map

and we have to make every single shot count, it was brutal

of course I wish there were more but what the game has, has done well.

Gamers, this was my review for Out of Ammo, say in the comments

what you think about this review, comment on what you think about the game

what you saw here, and also say in the comments if you would like to see me

playing this game, I would really like to know Gamers, so take this chance and write in the comments.

Gamers thank you very much for watching the video, I'll see you all in the next video.

And Gamers ...

2018 AIR JORDAN 3 "BLACK CEMENT" REVIEW/HISTORY | DnA SHOW - Duration: 5:55.

At that moment I knew my life would never be the same oh

Yeah, baby, I've been waiting all year for you

Hold up, did you think I was gonna show them to you that easy AJ kick some history for

I

Shall quick lesson, this is Tinker Hatfield

He developed the Jordan 3 in

1988 and happened to be his first model little did he know it would be the most iconic model today

Some may call it Tinker Hatfield an engineer. Well. I'll call this man the pipe

MJ made the Jordan 3 fly when in the 1988 dunk competition

all-star MVP all deficient team and Defensive Player of the Year for the Air Jordan symbol pretty much more

Hey and when MJ mars blackmon linked up it was definitely one for the history books before you know it not only

Ballers want a pair so did streets aren't you guys you learned a small bit of history behind a sneaker?

But we want to tell you what we think about the sneaker

Amazing jordan brand. Thank you this right here

This is what we've been waiting for you see these sneakers on the table all iconic in this

2018 pair is nothing short of that the quality is wonderful, and we'll get into some of the details

So yeah, I love this shoe, and I'm definitely excited you got tell you a little bit about it

So let's go ahead and dive on into it February 17th

2018 $200 that's the retail so let's get into the shoe you can see the upper the leather is pretty nice

It's supposed to be a tumbled pebbled whatever you like to call it

I just say is though at the end of the day

It's a clean shoot

So let's go ahead and dive into the differences between the new and the old first off the jump man on the back

That's the biggest thing that everybody's been talking about right the reason why?

Jordan Brand had this is because they became their own entity within Nike

Allowing them to brand their sneakers with more Jordan Brand low going and not

Nike so now that you know a little bit about the sneaker and why the Jumpman logo is on the back let's talk about the

2001 retro now this pair is Michael Jordan's personal pair size 13 and a half, you know who got these No

Body, but I definitely wanted to show you the difference between his pair and the prayer that came out for the public

This is the 2001 pair that came out for the public. It's a little bit different

I had repaint on the midsole back in the day you can see they've been worn a lot

But that tumbled leather is a one the materials are dope yes

There's cracking on the heel tab, but it is what it is now

I want you to pay close attention to the elephant print now

Can you see the difference between the 2001 Michael Jordan sample in the 2018 retro now?

here's a look at the

2008

CDP pack Air Jordan 3

Also notice the difference between the air bubble on the back of the sneaker where it's placed at and how high cut the leather is

On the elephant print and the difference between the gray leather around the ankle okay. Here's a black cement three football cleat

That was released to the public now if you look at this leather

This is probably one of the best leathers to come out on a sneaker unfortunately

it's on a cleat clearly you can see there's a difference between the midsole is obviously because it's a cleat and

Sneaker but massage from that it has the same look but different materials, okay?

I think it's about time we got into the best part of the sneaker the back nike air boy boy boy, okay?

So I'm gonna show you

comparison between the left side and the right side the right side will be different sneakers the left side will always stay at the

2018

Not too much sticks out besides from the signs of agingg

They did a good job replicating the nike air and the cut of the elephant print on the back the only thing that's really sticking

Out to me is the gray leather behind the tab you can see that

it's a little bit lower on the 2018 pair compared to the 2001 I

Forgot about these okay, so you can see there's a lot of aging on this sneaker?

This is a problem that a lot of sneaker heads have had so now that this retro is out

Everybody's happy about it because they get to relive the dream now

There's a bunch of differences in this knee the cut on the elephant Prince the jet man the air sighs

The tab sighs the leather cut in the size tag placement on the tongue, and here's a cool look for you cleat lovers

Hey now the reason why the 2018 is such an amazing sneakers because it's so similar to the 2001

they did a really good job replicating the small holes at the bottom of the sneaker from the 2001 to the

2018 you can see that they're very similar and you can see that there's no similarity with the small holes on the

2008 pair and there you have it the black Sandman 3

So now that you guys know about the different eras and how the sneakers were made the leathers that cuts the

Styles the inspiration behind the sneakers let us know what you guys think in the comments section below

Which pair was your favorite with revenue centers?

Out of all oh one shit Paul. I'm pretty sure it looks like the hawk for sure for me as well

Prince of Persia review / análise - MS-DOS (1990) - Duration: 7:38.

In this episode of Carrega Start we're travelling faraway

to the exotic Persia to save the Princess from the evil Jaffar.

No, not that one!

Jaffar, the Vizier who wants to be Sultan in place of the Sultan

gives an ultimatum to the Princess:

she has 60 minutes to marry him or she will die!

The Princess' last hope is her beloved Prince

who is now a prisoner in the Palace dungeons.

We start the game directly in the mazy dungeons

from where we have to escape before saving the Princess.

We have to explore the Palace dungeons, with no indications whatsoever,

and try to find the way out as soon as possible.

It's a simple idea but this is not an easy game!

When we grasp its mechanics like the Prince's way of moving,

sword-fighting, jump over deep pits, or avoid its numerous traps,

Prince of Persia sets itself as a great challenge to our skills

and a fabulous adventure into the mythical One Thousand and One Nights.

The first level is perfect as it really allow us

to understand the gameplay essentials.

And the controls are far from perfection.

One will immediately notice some lag in the Prince's movements

but after dying a few times it becomes easier to control it.

Jumping forward when running requires a very good timing

or else we'll fall into an agonizing death.

Even if we don't die,

a fall from a high place will surely injure us.

Stages are full of loose tiles, levers that open gates,

deadly spikes and other traps and obstacles.

The main goal of the first stage is to find a sword

since we need it to battle the Vizier guards.

Unlike many other games,

in Prince of Persia there is no Game Over

except if we fail to save the Princess in 60 minutes.

The Prince starts the game with three health indicators

but along the stages we will find potions that restore our health

and other potions, bigger and usually hidden,

that increase our health indicators.

Beware thought as some potions may be poisonous…

Graphics are a major feature of the game

and are top-notch for the time.

The Prince's animations, for instance,

were made by recording the game's creator younger brother

performing some moves like jumping and running.

Without getting into much detail,

this animation technique, called Rotoscope,

has animators trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame.

This gave Prince of Persia a smoother animation

than other games of that era.

This animation technique was used in many animated movies back in the day

and even nowadays, occasionally.

Although the start screen and the cutscene that come along

puts us in the Arabic tales mood,

backgrounds are not very detailed.

Honestly, I was so much focused

in solving all puzzles and quickly moving,

that the lack of detail didn't seem like a major flaw.

However, in some stages we do leave this stone prison

to find some more detailed and colourful graphics.

Music is scarce

but this plays a role in setting a feeling of solitude and anxiety

in this race against the clock in a dungeon.

A major positive aspect of this game is its variety.

True, the main goal along the levels is always the same:

open gates, activate levers, fight the guards whose toughness increases along the game,

avoid deadly traps and so on

but the game design is so good that it never becomes boring.

In fact, it's quite the opposite: it's a very fun and challenging game.

We always want to go as far as possible

even when we are reaching the time limit

and we know we still won't save the Princess this time around.

Although we die a lot in this game,

Prince of Persia gives us a real sense of progression

and that make us keep playing.

Memorizing the stages plays a great deal in beating the game of course.

This is a game that makes us rush,

after all we only have 60 minutes to save the Princess

but at the same time we need to be patient and move carefully

since we are in a big maze filled with deep pits

and fatal traps that can get us killed at any moment.

This balance makes Prince of Persia a great challenge,

sometimes borderline frustrating,

but it's not hard enough that is impossible to beat.

This is a great classic

and truly a game that should not be missed by anyone

who wants to dive into computer gaming history.

Although there is a lot of Prince of Persia ports and versions

many believe this DOS port be the definitive version.

Many say it's even better than the Apple II original.

This first game has several 2D and 3D sequels

and one should note its major influence in popular games

like Tomb Raider or Assassin's Creed.

There was nothing like Prince of Persia at the time

and it truly is one of the best and most influential games of that era.

Did you ever save the Princess?

What Prince of Persia ports or versions have you played?

Thank you for watching.

See you next week for another episode of Carrega Start.

Submariner Ceramic No Date 114060 Review | Everest Bands - Duration: 3:09.

Hello everyone and welcome to Everest's video review of the Rolex Submariner

Ceramic No-Date 114060. The Rolex Submariner Ceramic No-Date 114060 was

first introduced in Baselworld 2012. It was loved by traditionalists and created

for new watch enthusiasts alike. With just subtle changes, Rolex once again

released a watch that made a big difference and profound impact on the

watch community. Watch lovers such as ourselves appreciate the vintage vibe

that the lack of date provides. Original Rolex Submariner watches released in

the 1950s did not have dates. The 114060 is a tribute to these original models.

Not everyone is a fan of the Cyclops Magnifier Lens that is incorporated into

the sapphire crystal to read the date better on most Rolex models, so the

elimination of the date lens to an iconic and classic design. Additionally,

there is no need to adjust the date. It takes less time to set and is more

simple when just setting the time. The more simple dial in the perfectly

symmetrical elements lend to a very elegant finish. Constructed with

non-corrosive case made of 904 L steel, the Rolex Submariner Ceramic No Date was

a Rolex model made to not only extend generations, but to truly be a workhorse

of a timepiece.

Encased inside the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3130, which

features a parachrom hairspring and power reserve of 48 hours. The in-house

mechanical movement is both accurate and serviceable. This simple yet stellar

movement is a good workhorse and is, of course, Swiss COSC Chronometer certified.

The case changed just slightly with the longer lugs with the wider structure.

This combination lends for a very comfortable fit. The 40 millimeter case

wears well on both small and large wrists. The case shape is a bit more

angular and chunkier than the older versions. With a slightly redesigned case,

the Submariner Ceramic No-Date 114060 also features a new bezel and new

bracelet elements. Following along the aim of creating a life-long watch that

can be passed down from generation to generation, the new bezel is made of

Cerachrom which is nearly scratch proof and corrosive resistant. It also

doesn't fade over time. Additionally, the chromalight emits a

blue glow versus the green lume on older Submariner models. The blue loom is a

little more elegant in our opinion. Rolex has had decades to perfect a Submariner

design and the newest generation Sub is at its best.

Rolex has perfected the approach that subtle changes can make a big difference.

The perfection is in the attention to detail. That's going to wrap up our video

review of the Rolex Submariner Ceramic No Date 114060. Feel free to tell us

your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below. If you're looking

to customize your Submariner or another Rolex model, be sure to check out our

website at www.everestbands.com, where we carry bands for many Rolex models and

Tudor Black Bay models. We also have many watch accessories, as well.

So that's going to wrap up this video, so we'll see you next time.

Bushnell Engage Binoculars Review: Optics and Durability that Far Exceed the Price Tag - Duration: 14:14.

Howdy, guys and gals my name is Kyle Broderick and welcome to the social

regressive a little while back we did a review on the new Bushnell engage

2.5-10x44 millimeter rifle scope it was an excellent rifle

scope it was a lot of fun to shoot it has a great reticle in there it has

just pristine glass it's amazing for the price that you're paying so what we're

gonna do today is we're gonna take a look at the companion binoculars and for

those of you looking for the short form of this review I'm gonna get kind of

wordy on this so here's the quick one ya go buy them your grandkids are gonna

love them because you know I say that because really these things they appear

to be very tough very well built the glass is just great and yeah I think

these will stand up to years and years and years and years and decades of abuse

so yeah let's dig into this thing we're gonna start out with some of the goodies

that you get with this thing we're gonna get into the specs and then we're gonna

get into the bigger picture of what I think about using these things okay so

first off just take a look at the packaging Bushnell has really been

upping their their advertising in their own packaging this is just a beautiful

box I love the colors and all that and inside this box you get this neat little

bag right here for protecting the binoculars and you can wear this while

you're actually wearing the binoculars around your neck you just kind of thread

in from the side here so this will just give you a little bit of extra padding

you also get a cleaning lens or a lens cleaning cloth for this and actually you

do get this kind of neat little bag let me show you this it's kind of a silvery

bag sort of a microfiber thing so this can kind of double as protection to keep

dust out of the the optics and whatever and it can kind of double as a cleaning

cloth as well this feels like the same kind of microfiber that you get in a

decent cleaning cloth so that's kind of neat some of the other goodies that you

get just straight from the factory with this thing you get these lens covers on

the the kind of back end of things and you get the

removable lens covers on the front these are kind of cool in that you can just

pop them off if you don't want to carry them around and it's just a little

rubber ring that slips over there and then these things can close up to keep

things off your your glass all right so that's that's kind of well here's one of

the big goodies that you get with it here's the really nice padded and logoed

strap that comes with it and this is one that I took these binoculars out on a

hike around a frozen lake actually just about a month ago and I had these around

my neck the whole time and I wasn't really bothered by you know any kind of

pressure on the back of my neck didn't get any little you know scratches or

anything it's a very nice strap and it I think it complements very

well it's not too thick and you know some of the camera straps that you get

are gonna be considerably thicker than this maybe even an inch thicker I think

these are very well suited to the task at hand so let's take a look at some of

the the specs on this thing these stand at 5.5 inches tall they weigh 23 and a

half ounces and it comes in a variety of form factors you can get everything from

8 X all the way up to 12 X and this model that we're looking at here today

is a 10 by 42 so this has kind of their their middle size objective lenses they

can go all the way up to 50 I believe you can get a 12 by 50 I think there's

also a 10 by 50 and yeah so this has a pretty good amount of magnification to

it we're gonna talk about that a little bit later on you know maybe when to pick

which magnification the some of the features that you get on this thing

aside from you know some of the goodies that I just talked about

you get twist up eye cups and these are a little bit on the thin side but you're

looking at a pretty low profile kind of small roof prism set of binoculars these

aren't meant to be you know the gigantic field binoculars or whatever these are

meant to be very easily man-portable and so you know you don't get these you know

the gigantic so I cups that you might get on you know

something that you might want to cart around in a tank or a big truck right

here this is one of the neatest tricks that this that the binoculars have to

offer and that is this locking diopter ring this is just the coolest thing I

don't know how many times I've been out with a scope or something and somebody

knocks the the diopter off and I don't know why everything is you know looking

really loopy so with this I can pick the diopter setting that I need for my eye

of course with binoculars what you want to do is adjust for your usual your left

eye first then you go for your right and on this you just pull this ring right

here and then you can twist to whatever diopter setting works for you and then

pull back down to lock it it is so so slick the construction overall it's kind

of a rubberized coating on this whole thing and I did test this out normally I

baby my equipment but I didn't really baby these I did actually take these out

and treat them like I would binoculars out in the field so you know if I'm

going out prairie dog hunting here whatever these are probably living on my

dash and the neat thing about this rubberized coating is that it does kind

of prevent the binoculars from really bouncing around that much and falling

and sliding and that sort of thing they tend to stay put on a dashboard quite

well it gets a lot of purchase with your hands these things feel very good in

hand they're not so small that you know it feels like just kind of miniscule in

your hands and maybe not so stable it has just a decent amount of heft to it

and a you know a good kind of palm fill so with that 10x magnification to keep

these things still you know it's kind of a tricky business but the size and

weight of this really helps to to mitigate whatever shakey effects or you

know whatever you might run into with that here's your big focus knob right

here and then one thing that I should point out that I think you know I

mentioned before that your grandkids will be able to use these binoculars

part of that is going to come down what's under this skin this is you know

gonna be coated with plastics and rubbers and all kinds of things but

under here there's actually a magnesium sub subframe like you get on big

expensive cameras like say from Canon and Nikon and some of the others these

are going to be that's going to help keep the weight a little bit on the

lower side for the structural rigidity that you're going to get from this I

think that these are going to be able to take a lickin and keep on tickin

structural integrity is only one part of the toughness equation one of the things

we needed to take a good close look at is the coatings that they put on these

lenses and these have some brand-new things from Bushnell in fact they seem

to be totally proprietary I've never heard of them anywhere else all the

lenses are fully multi-coated and they have something called the EXO barrier

applied to the outer lenses and supposedly this is going to prevent all

kinds of debris from you know really building up on this thing it's gonna

keep anything from really sticking to the lenses including like fingerprints

and you know maybe some kind of goo you know Teresa AB who knows what kind of

stuff you'll be running into out there but it's supposed to protect from that

and I gotta say in my own testing like I say I didn't baby these things you know

people's fingerprints got all over these and today I polished these up and it's

like they're brand new I can't see any indication that anything ever happened

to this they're very scratch resistant apparently and you know I did

purposefully leave some big old thumb prints on the objective lenses to see

okay we know are these things gonna kind of baked into the coating because I've

had lenses where it's done that before my brother actually had a camera where a

kitten put his nose on his camera and he could never actually buff that back

oh it stayed with this kitten nose print at the bottom of the lens and it kind of

messed up all his shots after that but yeah with this it just seems like

nothing can stick and nothing can Mar these and I've really been impressed

with how that works and now when it comes to actually looking through these

and getting work done that's where these things really start to shine the like I

mentioned with the engage scope the glass is just super super clear you get

tons of light transmission at dusk and then even

beyond and tonight as long as you have a little bit of illumination with that one

that was a 44 millimeter objective and with this this is a 42 millimeter

objective a little bit smaller these still performed every bit as good

at dusk and at night although I gotta say if you do want to you know really do

some good night shooting you know maybe you do some kind of hunting out way past

the the dusk hours then I want you to take a look at that 50 millimeter that's

gonna help things out quite a bit the 42 millimeter objectives on this

pair of binoculars not only did a great job of reproducing details good

resolution from daylight to dusk down into night but they actually did just a

stellar job with contrast and color reproduction as well which are very

important a lot of time with even a high resolution pair of binoculars you may

start to lose data up into you know kind of the high end of the image down into

the low you might start to get this kind of flattened out filmic look to

everything and you may start to lose your color especially as dust gets on

everything kind of starts to turn into a black and white image and these along

with the scope they just do such a stellar job of grabbing color data and

pulling them back into your eye even when light is very very low so I think

in this case like if you're out hunting and you want to be able to differentiate

okay this is deer this is tree this is grass these are the binoculars that are

gonna pull that off some other tricks that the binoculars have up their sleeve

you can focus as close as 8 feet with these all the way out to infinity of

course and the depth of field on these is kind of surprising there are certain

you know even lower power binoculars that I've used where if you're focused

on one subject then you know everything and the foreground everything in the

background is going to be out of focus and of course that's gonna be the case

here but it seems like that depth of field is much deeper so if you are

keeping an eye on say a whole herd of an animal or if you're trying to kind of

keep an eye on the periphery then these are going to give you more details

they're going to give you more information

you're gonna have that deeper depth of field and you're gonna be able to see

more of what's going on in the surrounding area now one of the things I

mentioned before that we were going to talk about the magnification on these

because 10x is pretty powerful it depends on what you're going to be doing

if you're out at the range and you want to be able to call shots for people

okay those 12x ones are probably gonna work out well for you if you are going

to be hunting at closer ranges or if you're going to be dealing with bigger

animals or faster animals maybe you want to back that down to the 8x model and

this one sits right between the the 10x these are typically going to be a little

bit difficult to hold steady on your face and thanks to you know a little bit

of the weight that's going on this is that 23 and a half ounces so they're not

super duper lightweight and a little heft is going to help out that feel of

the the tubes themselves it feels really good in hand so that's gonna help with

stability if you're going to be dealing with animals out on the periphery and

you need to kind of be watching the edges of your image then I recommend

that if you do have the the 10x model that you go with a 50 millimeter

objective that's going to get you a bigger exit pupil and you can kind of

move your eyes around a little bit more in the image you can see the edges one

of the limitations that I found on these with its kind of smaller exit pupil if

you look at something at the edge of the image like you keep something squared up

in the middle and you kind of shift your eyes over to look at something at the

edge a lot of time the image will just plain go away because you have missed

that whole image it kind of resolves to a pretty small exit pupil so you have a

50 millimeter would get you there I think by now you have a pretty good idea

of how much I like these binoculars and why they seem to be very ruggedly built

these things are going to last a very long time I anticipate if something does

happen they have the Bushnell ironclad warranty so that's 20 years and I really

do think that these are gonna be able to take just a sound thrashing and be able

to put up with it and that includes everything from the glass all the way

through you know the total construction of the thing I didn't mention that these

are waterproof the lenses are fog proof they're just kind of everything proof go

to the website check out what they say about it

because the the new lens coatings not only do they do just a great job of

pulling in light and pulling in all kinds of detail but it seems like they

are built to withstand more more damage than your your average binoculars out

there and especially when you consider the price point of these I think that

this is the workhorse that you've been looking for thanks for watching if you

On the third album the now 21 year old artist has continued to evolve

and now the singing and the melodies plays a bigger part than earlier.

The darkness in his music has become more bright and more colorful

The melody making is bigger and wider.

The lyrics are more personal and colored by his life experiences

not a bad move from an artist that only is 21 years of age.

Altered Carbon [ altered carbon meths [ altered carbon review [ cast of altered carbon ] - Duration: 2:47.

Altered Carbon, released today by Netflix, is adapted from a science fiction novel by Richard K. Morgan. It tells the story of Takeshi Kovacs, a one-time rebel (played by Joel Kinnaman) who's forced to take on the role of detective and track down a rich man's murderer.

The twist: The murder victim is also Kovacs' employer, because the series takes place in a future where human consciousness can be transferred between bodies.

In this week's episode of TechCrunch's Original Content podcast, Jordan Crook, Darrell Etherington and Anthony Ha offer their initial thoughts on the series, which livens up a familiar, Blade Runner-y setting with some big science fiction ideas — and it expects viewers to keep up without much explanation.

We also discuss YouTube TV's launch on Roku and Apple TV and HBO's online growth. And while it's not streaming-related, we had to talk about the accident Darrell was in while testing out automated driving tech.

Proton Persona - 10 000km Ownership Review - Duration: 5:16.

what's up everyone welcome to my channel again

and

well my car is already 10 000 km

in fact it's 11 000 already

so I guess I do some 10 000km ownership review

the car is daily driven

it's been through highway, city,

hot weather, heavy downpour,

across the state and across the country as well

and even go off road with this car

the car is very practical

and I've done some practical mods on it

which some people may not even consider a mod

I installed a blind spot mirror, changing the gear knob,

install some door guards

and also do some DIY mud flap

let's talk about economy on this car

the car is very good in fuel economy if you don't compare it with EEV vehicle

in city you can something like 10km/L

on normal driving you get 14km/L

if you driving on highway, driving 110

the fuel economy you get is 16km/L

but these are not the best fuel economy I get

the best fuel economy I get is 19km/L

and it is not that one time lucky

I've achieved that 19km/L for more than three times

if you're driving 90 smoothly at 5th gear

or 60 in 4th gear

you can actually achieve 19km/L

which is even better than what is written on the paper

so from a driver perspective

since it is a manual car

am i regretting choosing a manual?

hmm

honestly no

I mostly drive around JB and Malacca

and I drove in KL before with massive traffic jam

and honestly say I don't feel any discomfort on my left leg

the clutch is actually quite light it's a hydraulic clutch

but the shift is not light

it is heavy but it's very solid

it doesn't feel cheap, it is very sporty

and let's talk about the sitting position

the seat is pretty high I don't like it but

it's good that it keeps me sit at correct posture all the time

and the steering wheel

has a bulk on the '2' and the '10' of the steering wheel

which is very comfortable to hold

and since i drive the persona

I start to drive with both hands on the steering wheel very often

the steering is very sensitive

in fact a full turn only require 1.5 turn on the steering wheel

and the turning radius is also better compare to the previous proton's

and then for the visibility

the front blind spot is a little bit weird

because the A-pillar is further from you compared to a normal car

but the blind spot is actually very minimal

and you have almost no blind spot if you install the blind spot mirror

it also make it very easy to drive around city

as you can drive around a narrow road confidently

and for the power of this car

it is very powerful, the acceleration is very fast

in city you can switch between the lane

without worrying the car is stubborn

you can just press the throttle and go in safely

and in highway you can overtake a car

while matching up the speed with the right lane speed very easily

then for the owner perspective

the car is actually very practical

the boot space is really very big

it literally fits everything I need to bring to my college and back to my house

everything literally

then for the problems on this car

for this persona it actually has a lot of factory defects

and it's not present at my friends' proton persona

such as the air-con ventilation mode malfunction

it's actually blocked by some rubbish left over by a mouse I think

and I have a bent drive shaft

which is not proton's fault it's the supplier of the drive shaft fault

and next one it's a check engine light and a loose key slot

well the check engine light is caused by the loose key slot

and the key slot problem is actually caused by a loose screw

just one screw

and after all the factory defects have been fixed

there are no other problem found yet

however it's pain in the ass to keep the exterior looks good

since it's a black car everything is very obvious

a dirt,

a scratch,

a swirl mark,

anything is very obvious

you can't really keep the car clean

but if you are a black car owner you know

once the car is clean it is the best color of all

and I hope you enjoyed this video

and if you are one of the persona brothers

do give your opinions in the comment section below

and if you find this video informative

do give a thumbs up

and share it to your friends

and also subscribe to me and

I'll see you in the next video next week

Nerf Longarm Review & Firing Test - Duration: 3:09.

hi guys we are back in another video and i'm doing the Nerf Longarm Review as you guys

know iv'e done a Nerf Review on a Nerf Gun last video and that's pretty much what the

channel is going to be about Nerf Product Review's so basically like any Nerf and vlogs

this is a really nice Nerf gun it has that snap thing so you can load it up and so yeah

you can snap back in it doesn't work that well so that's basically a con of this Nerf

gun the barrel is pretty weird too and it's not a normal gun it can not fit in a holster

that is another con but a pro of this gun is that it does look cool it has unnecessary

plastic but whatever you can see the mechanics inside here witch is kinda cool you got that

pull back thing like any other Nerf gun like a Strongarm or a Disruptor it does have unnecessary

long thing but it does make it look way cooler the grip is weird but if you put your hand

here for a too long it can get a little stressful like if you were in a Nerf war it does have

that Doomland's impact zone thing on it Longarm and Nerf to make it look really cool and so

yeah it does come with 5 darts but i will get to the darts later ok so guys right now

i'm going to be shooting that bag and yeah (darts fire) ok so i ran out you can see it

fly's pretty far back yeah like a Nerf gun like this Strongarm does have slamfire witch

the Longarm doesn't but i'm just going to use slamfire and you can pretty much see how

far it goes back (darts fire) so you can see it doesn't fling back that far and i was missing

most of the targets because i was using slamfire and when you use slamfire normally you miss

but as you guys can see these 2 darts are very different you can see this is a supposably

be a dart that i got in a 100's pack when i got some bullets you can see this is a Longarm

dart you can see that the Longarm is bigger and has a better tip witch make's it glide

through the air better guys i hope you liked this Nerf Longarm Review i recommend you getting

this Nerf gun and so yeah i will see you next time

Late to the Punchline Review MLP:FIM Season 7 Episode 25 - Duration: 7:36.

Hello, I'm Half the Battle,

and this is my Late to the Punchline Review

of Friendship Is Magic Episode 168:

Shadow Play – Part 1, which is

the eighteenth episode written by Josh Haber.

There are a lot of characters in this story:

Not only do we open on an account of Star Swirl

and six other legendary ponies,

but our return to the present has us in a room

with the two sisters, the Mane Six,

Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunburst,

all of whom (except for the sisters)

will be essential to the plot.

There's not a lot of new ground

for the familiar characters here,

but the writers do a masterful job of letting

everypony have establishing character moments.

Sunburst gets the spotlight

in the throne room scenes,

Twilight and Starlight debate the main strategy,

and the other main ponies each get a quest

for an artifact, with Spike getting

an all-too-rare scene with Rainbow Dash.

A season finale may seem like an odd place

to bring in new viewers,

but anyone starting out here will

have a good feel for all the present-day

characters by the end of Part 1.

Long-time viewers will focus more on

the long-awaited reveal of Star Swirl the Bearded

in his first appearance aside from

costumes and still pictures.

Recall that his student Clover the Clever

was present at the founding of Equestria,

and that Star Swirl befriended Scorpan

in the early days of the royal sisters.

The series has always been vague about

when these things happened, but Shadow Play's

dialogue says "over a thousand years"

six times and "thousands" twice.

If anyone's concerned about Star Swirl's

ability to speak in the modern tongue

while he wrote in Old Ponish, recall that

scholars in Europe wrote most of their books

in Latin until the end of the seventeenth century,

despite speaking their local languages

in day-to-day life.

We'll get a more personal look at Star Swirl

in Part 2.

I'm thrilled to see him tied in

with the diverse array of legendary ponies

introduced this season.

The setup with him

and the pillars sealing the villain in Limbo

reminds me of the Seven Sages whose power

keeps Ganondorf locked away in various

Legend of Zelda games.

However, the basic concept

goes back at least as far as the Titans

of Greek mythology and is featured in

many classic stories, so I wouldn't be too quick

to assume a conscious video game reference here.

The Map is a character again in this story,

as the magic behind both it and Star Swirl's book

plays a providential sort of role in the episode.

Through various timely revelations,

the ponies are essentially railroaded

into restoring and ultimately confronting

the Pony of Shadows in Part 2.

The omniscience implied by this magic

makes unsurprising things that would be considered

contrivances in an average episode,

such as Dash happening upon Garble's shield,

and the superpowered displays

by Applejack and Rarity.

It's likely the characters' previous encounters

with the pillars' legacies this season

are similarly prearranged by the Map,

even though none of them occurred in "Map" episodes.

And I'll also just mention that the Map's

first mission is where the Mane Six

met Starlight Glimmer, whose part in all this

becomes clearer in Part 2.

Starlight has a Cassandra role here

that leans on the fourth wall quite a bit,

as she reminds Twilight of the show's priorities,

the well-established dangers of meddling with magic,

and how her own history might relate

to the project at hand.

You know,

the things we'd be shouting at the screen

as we observe Twilight's foolhardiness,

if Starlight wasn't there to do the nudging for us.

Now you can't blame Twilight too much for

not realizing she'd be freeing the Shadow Pony.

It's not evident from the book or the playback

that the pillars' continual presence

was required to keep their enemy in place.

It's just as likely, as Applejack says,

that "they got stuck."

But I'm glad, for the show's sake, that Twilight

defends her idea by pointing to the importance

of having Star Swirl back, as opposed to

the show hitting us over the head with

her overconfidence.

She's not on a power trip; she's just starstruck.

The main lesson of the story

is brought forth in Part 2,

so I'll focus here on the moral of

the Twilight-Starlight dynamic

that runs through both parts.

From Twilight Sparkle's perspective,

no matter how far you go in life,

don't neglect reasonable advice.

Or, to quote the Book of Proverbs,

"Plans are broken in the absence of counsel,

but by an abundance of counselors they stand."

And from Starlight Glimmer's position,

don't be afraid to offer advice when it's helpful.

Starlight is polite, humble, and constructive,

though persistent, as she raises concerns

about Twilight's rush to restore the pillars.

And the pink pony has the same disposition

in Part 2 toward Star Swirl the Bearded.

It's a good demonstration of how her boldness

plays out at this point in her

understanding of friendship, and a good example

for viewers to follow.

By contrast, Star Swirl's criticisms will be

rude, prideful, and inhibiting,

but he'll eat crow before the story's over.

There's a lot I could say for Emotional Resonance.

I love this whole thing.

Each scene is a thrill;

even the exposition scenes in the castle

are peppered with delightful moments.

It starts with a captivating opening narration

that calls to mind another legend.

Compare this:

>> STAR SWIRL THE BEARDED: Transformed into

>> a Pony of Shadows, he returned for revenge,

>> to extinguish the pillars' light

>> and rob the world of hope.

to the opening of Conan the Barbarian:

>> AKIRO THE WIZARD: And unto this, Conan,

>> destined to wear the jeweled crown

>> of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.

There's plenty of humor:

Sunburst attempts to high-hoof Spike,

Sunburst says it will take "years of study"

to understand the spell;

no, Twilight's got it.

Rarity calls out Twilight's overexcitement;

Rainbow Dash makes an absolute fool of Garble.

There's not a lot of serious drama until Part 2,

but Rarity does tear up a bit when she's

slapped with a garden trowel.

Most of all, there's a tremendous satisfaction

in seeing all this come together,

as the Tree-Chest-Castle-Map and the Elements of

Harmony are explained and the connection between

magic and friendship is affirmed once again.

Other impressions: I give high marks to this two-parter.

It's MLP's most ambitious story to date

for all its lore.

And what it does, it does extremely well.

However, it suffers a little

from the TV series' weekly format.

If it had been a Monday-to-Friday show,

we could have gotten a five-parter out of this,

like the season premieres of

G.I. Joe and Transformers

that I grew up with.

Because of the time constraint,

the events of Part 1 are very compressed.

The gathering of artifacts spread all across

Equestria, no doubt invovling a separate

adventure for each of five ponies,

takes just seven minutes.

Total.

Compare that with how much the ponies

went through just to reach

the Castle of the Two Sisters

in the series premiere.

Nevertheless, the rushed pace has

a positive impact in at least two ways:

It conveys how much the team is

rushing through their plans

without really thinking them through,

and it drives home just how much help

they're apparently receiving from the magic

behind it all, giving the sense that

this is all being handed to them

on a silver platter by forces unseen.

With its strengths more than overcoming

any of its weaknesses, Shadow Play lands

just short of Twilight's Kingdom,

earning Crystal Armor.

I'll have a lot more

to say in Part 2.
