This is a story of achievement, a magnificent triumph of the American dream, with only one catch: it’s a lie. ![]() His venture succeeded, and he was immediately promoted to director of multicultural community marketing, leaping from janitor-cleaning boy to the office. In the face of the marketing department’s incompetence, Montañez, along with friends and family, multiplied sales efforts to create demand for those Cheetos designed for hardened appetites. When he got the green light, he went one step further. He immediately contacted Enrico directly to share the idea with him and get his approval. ![]() Inspired by a video featuring Frito-Lay CEO Roger Enrico, Montañez created a spicy recipe at home that, when mixed with Cheetos, became an explosive, yet tasty snack: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos were born. Yet one janitor, Richard Montañez, born on the outskirts of Los Angeles to a Mexican family, insisted that the Latino community did not eat Cheetos - the company’s flagship product - and that potential customers did not have a flavor that matched their tastes in the stores. At one of the factories belonging to Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo that produces all kinds of potato chips and snacks, the fear of layoffs as a result of a market in crisis seized its workers.

This cost is increased by 500 points for every perk the player has, with the first perk costing 2500 points and the final perk costing 7000 points. Throughout most of their appearances, each Perk-a-Cola had a unique cost, however this changes in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War where the costs are unified and dependent on how many perks the player has. Some are based off of perks found in multiplayer (such as Juggernog and Speed Cola mirroring Juggernaut and Sleight of Hand respectively). Each drink gives the player a perk to help them survive and fend off the zombie hordes. They also appear in Call of Duty Online's Cyborg Rising game mode. Perk-a-Colas (known as Perk Altars in the Chaos Story and Demonic Fountains in Call of Duty: Vanguard) are a feature that can be found in all Zombies maps, except for Dead Ops Arcade, Bus Depot, and the Call of Duty: World at War version of Nacht der Untoten. ![]() For similar utilities featured in other installments, see Exo Upgrade and Candy Perk.Ī couple cans of Perk-a-Colas, specifically Quick Revive, Stamin-Up, and Jugger-nog in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

The music fits the mood: a brutish yet ultra-catchy stop-time intro is broken up by jackhammer blast beats, which give way to a dexterous bass break, but it’s the near-subsonic growl of Chris Barnes (“I … feel like killing … youuuuu” is one of the only lines you might be able to decipher without a lyric sheet) that makes “Hammer Smashed Face” as unshakeable as a Faces of Death clip. Their greatest track is a relentlessly bludgeoning ditty about, yes, caving in a helpless victim’s face with a sledgehammer. So don your battle vests, raise your horns, and keep a neck brace handy as Rolling Stone counts down the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time.įrom the mid-Eighties through the early Nineties, metal’s fringes grew more and more extreme, but Cannibal Corpse dialed up the darkness to genuinely uncomfortable levels, fashioning songs that played like aural snuff films. Our contributors submitted ballots of their personal picks for the top metal songs, we tallied them up, and we spotted a few pleasant surprises in how the ranking shook out. In the cases of metal’s forebears, like Led Zeppelin and even Black Sabbath, who have shunned the “metal” tag, we picked the most metal songs in their catalogs. Similarly, you’ll find songs by Def Leppard, Lita Ford, and Ratt, bands who defined a metal ethos for the time they came out even if their songs don’t sound as intense as, say, Emperor. This time, we discussed the earliest metal songs going back to Blue Cheer’s deafening cover of “Summertime Blues” through recent instant classics like Power Trip’s “Executioner’s Tax (Swing of the Axe).” And while keeping our minds open to the basic definition of metal (weighty riffs turned up to 11), we debated the fine lines between hard rock and metal: Motörhead and AC/DC, hard-rock bands who recorded awe-inspiring statements of fury that cross over into metal, are here, while Guns N’ Roses and Kiss, whose music bears more of an overall hard-rock swagger, are not. ![]() Many list voters contributed to RS’ Greatest Metal Albums list a few years back. These people include writers and critics who have been writing for Rolling Stone for decades and contributors to metal-focused publications. The group of headbangers that Rolling Stone gathered to rank the 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time debated the merits of more than 300 worthy songs over several months. Metal has always been about overcoming fear and finding community among like-minded outcasts. A song like Metallica’s “Fade to Black,” for instance, actually helps you escape your personal darkness rather than encouraging it. Where less cultured ears hear only noise and rage, metalheads recognize nuance. Amid the deafening drums and growling vocals, the ideal metal tune relates power, resilience, and even hope. ![]() ![]() What millions of fans around the world have realized is that a good metal song transports you. Over time, heavy metal has topped the pop charts, served as the basis of hit movies, saved the day in TV shows, and even signaled prosperity around the world. Years removed from its initial rumbles, metal is now a cultural force. To be a metalhead, you’re rejecting normalcy, you’re willing to believe in yourself and visit your dark side because you know the eardrum-slaughtering decibels and aggressive lyrics are the crucible in which you feel something new and unique. In those five-plus decades, fans of metal have embraced the genre’s songs as intense declarations of individuality. At the same time, its true believers have created extreme global offshoots like death metal, doom metal, and black metal. Judas Priest tuned into Sabbath’s darkly jagged melodies to create their own intricate, law-breaking mini-epics, Metallica revved up Priest’s tempos to give headbangers cases of whiplash, hair bands like Mötley Crüe and Quiet Riot spruced up the music for MTV, and nu-metal mutants like Korn and Slipknot gave it a bleak post-alt-rock and hip-hop edge. In 1970, Black Sabbath convincingly evoked the true essence of evil with the lumbering, three-chord opening guitar riff to the song “Black Sabbath,” consecrating the first pure heavy-metal crusher, and the ripples have been spreading virulently ever since. Thousands of years after the Bronze and Iron Ages, the true Metal Age dawned half a century ago. ![]() Once enabled, check that the Machine List is as expected (under Render -> Team Render Machines). ![]() For machines that will act as clients, run the Cinema 4D Client.

Any idiot should be able to use a crossbow and have it do massive damage, but take a bit. We’re talking like… half the FPS of a normal bow, much less a long bow. If an archer who’s trained for 5 years dies, you can’t just replace him with Gerald the goat fucker.Īny crossbow that you can draw with just your hand is going to be FAR weaker than a bow with the same draw weight. Obviously, from an army’s perspective, being able to hand long range weapons to farmers is ideal, and if they die you can just hand it off. Upside, if he gets ganked, the crossbow still works. But you can hand one to any idiot and having him firing consistently in a week. The drawback is they’re more expensive and have shorter power stroke, so to get the same velocity as a long bow, you’re needing to vastly increase the draw weight and spend more. Crossbows are FAR easier to shoot well and require a lot less training, hence the appeal. Because crossbows have a MUCH more limited power stroke, to match the velocity they need to compensate in draw weight.īows are hard to use well and take years of training, but you get 5-10 shots a minute. Both combine to create the velocity of the projectile. With bows you have 2 factors-draw weight and power stroke. Yea, and I know this is just playing make-believe with our friends where elves and magic is real, physics doesn’t matter, but since we’re here let’s do this. I mean, I don't care about this question anymore, just disappointed in the community. Which just, is only harmful the game we all love. Not want to ask questions and try new things. But that makes people not want to engage, not want to play. Not exactly known for being a civil, thoughtful place. Also that's not how crossbows work." or "It's already balanced stop fucking with things" is purely toxic. Coming out and saying "Idiot, this isn't a physics simulator LOL. I was frustrated because I thought this was supposed to be a community where people come together to help tell great stories, help each other have fun, figure out rules, support interesting ideas, and guide people away from changes that would affect player's enjoyment you know, healthy and positive. I realized that I was wrong, got some interesting ideas, and changed. And I got a few really good responses, including "if you change this, it will affect so much it would be a nightmare to adjust and could really affect your player's fun." to "here are a few interesting thoughts on how to achieve something similar." And as a result, if you read through those answers, I was like "yeah, messing with this mechanic probably would be more trouble than it was worth, maybe I'll add something special but I'll leave the base alone." The question was about how to change a mechanic while still keeping it fun and balanced. Whether or not they were balanced was never the question.

The Cult of Chucky turned out to be another game-changing reinvention for the series, supplying one of the fundamental ingredients that gave the spin-off show mileage: change.įor its third season, the show has had another slight reset with new characters and a setting with lots of potential: The White House. Chucky’s past is revisited in more depth in The Curse of Chucky, which plays out like a self-contained reimagining until Tiffany resurfaces with a revenge-driven agenda. Mancini examined Chucky’s paternal instincts in The Seed of Chucky. The inclusion of Chucky’s love interest provides a more plausible backstory and offers fans context on his criminal past as a human. He opened up Chucky’s universe by building a stronger mythology around serial killer Charle Lee Ray ( Brad Dourif). With The Bride of Chucky, Mancini established a far more flexible identity for the series with the introduction of Chucky’s deranged soulmate Tiffany Valentine ( Jennifer Tilly). Mancini has always excelled at genre-blending, casting his net wide and incorporating satire, murder-mystery, hospital horror, and teen dramedy into the plots while maintaining the edge of the original movie. Instead, the film (and TV) series gets progressively more inventive with each entry. ET.Unlike his kill-crazy cinematic counterparts Freddy, Jason, and Michael, Chucky and the Child’s Play franchise didn’t run out of steam or ideas with one cash-grab sequel after another. And catch "Chucky" Season 2 when it premieres on USA Network and SYFY on Oct. You can check up on "Chucky" Season 1 by streaming on Peacock. ![]() So while our friend ‘til the end might stem from more innocent toys than a truly haunted doll, fans of USA and SYFY’s “Chucky” series can rest easy (or maybe not so easy) knowing that while Chucky might not be real, plenty about him and his story is very real. Nobody wants to let this lie die,” Sloan said. Too many people will sacrifice the truth for a good story. Robert has parallels, but had nothing to do with it. “‘Child’s Play’ creator Don Mancini has stated that the My Buddy Doll and Cabbage Patch Kids inspired his movies. While it’s been stated that Chucky was inspired by Robert the Doll, an infamous, supposedly haunted doll made of mohair and sporting a rather … blank look, David Sloan, a paranormal researcher and author with a particular interest in Robert, told “ Florida Weekly” in 2017 that the doll was not, in fact, an inspiration for our favorite fictional menace. Granted, the majority of dolls marketed to kids don’t come to life and wield kitchen knives as weapons, but the artistic change feels warranted in this case.Īs far as the haunting of it all? Possession, voodoo, and the like? “Madison Avenue refers to children as ‘consumer trainees’ and I discovered that as a child … I wanted to write a dark satire about how advertising affects children.” “Because of my exposure to the world of advertising and marketing through my dad, I was very aware from an early age of the cynicism inherent in that world, particularly selling products to children,” he said on the “Post Mortem” podcast. Mancini has spoken at length about how his father’s job in marketing felt pessimistic in how it spoke about children. The horrors of the “Child’s Play” franchise as a whole - the initial concept - is pulled from creator Mancini’s real-world experiences. His nom de guerre, the “Lakeshore Strangler,” is likely a nod to the Hillside Stranglers (who were apprehended in 1979, less than a decade before the original “Child’s Play” hit theaters in 1988) or the Boston Strangler, who murdered at least 11 women in the early ‘60s. Our own history is littered with killers on par with the fictional Charles Lee Ray, whose name is actually a mashup of three real-life criminals: “Charles” is a nod to Charles Manson, “Lee” to Lee Harvey Oswald, and “Ray” to James Earl Ray. However, that doesn’t mean elements of the character, the films, and USA Network and SYFY’s “Chucky” series didn’t stem from real-world inspirations.įor one, there’s his name. As far as we know, no one in the course of human history has used a dark spell to transfer their soul into a doll’s body in order to narrowly escape death only to then wreak tiny, cackling havoc on unsuspecting families for decades. While creator Don Mancini took inspiration from his childhood and horror stories that came before, the character of Charles Lee Ray, aka Chucky, is completely fictional. ![]() The model uses the solar wind velocity and interplanetary magnetic field measured at the L1 orbit position at 1.6 million km (1 million miles) upstream from earth as input and calculates three types of electron precipitation and the proton precipitation which strongly correlate with the aurora. The OVATION (Oval Variation, Assessment, Tracking, Intensity, and Online Nowcasting) model is an empirical model of the intensity of the aurora developed at the Johns Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory by Patrick Newell and co-workers1. These links provide a discussion of the aurora phenomena and tips for the best opportunities to view aurora at various locations around the world. It is the only way for most people to actually experience space weather. ![]() It is closely related to the ground induce currents that impact electric power transition.įor many people, the aurora is a beautiful nighttime phenomenon that is worth traveling to arctic regions just to observe. The aurora directly impacts HF radio communication and GPS/GNSS satellite navigation. ![]() The aurora is an indicator of the current geomagnetic storm conditions and provides situational awareness for a number of technologies. The aurora does not need to be directly overhead but can be observed from as much as a 1000 km away when the aurora is bright and if conditions are right. The aurora is not visible during daylight hours. Aurora can often be observed somewhere on Earth from just after sunset or just before sunrise. The sunlit side of Earth is indicated by the lighter blue of the ocean and the lighter color of the continents. The green ovals turn red when the aurora is forecasted to be more intense. The brightness and location of the aurora is typically shown as a green oval centered on Earth’s magnetic pole. The two maps show the North and South poles of Earth respectively. The forecast lead time is the time it takes for the solar wind to travel from the L1 observation point to Earth. This product is based on the OVATION model and provides a 30 to 90 minute forecast of the location and intensity of the aurora. This is a short-term forecast of the location and intensity of the aurora. That’s definitely not good! The Free Trial lasts Forever The Free trial of FL Studio offers all of the available features in any other FL Studio version, such as including all of the plugins and even working for an unlimited amount of time, but it does come with some slight drawbacks such as not being able to load saved projects.Īlthough this limitation of not being able to load saved projects may not seem that bad for some people, imagine working for 6 hours on a project, saving it only to realize the next day that it can’t be opened back up unless you purchase the premium version. That’s right, the Free Trial literally lasts forever and comes with all of the available plugins already included (The trial installer comes with all FL Studio Edition’s Bundles in one and installs everything) and once you upgrade to one of the different versions, some plugins get activated while some others stay in that “trial” version.
