![]() ![]() After heated discussion with tournament admins, Fnatic eventually forfeited their place, allowing LDLC to progress to the final. Extra controversy was raised after it was revealed Fnatic’s coach had actively stifled knowledge of the spot through take down of YouTube videos. Sure to go down in CS history, the play resulted in countless analysis videos and the entertainingly terrible musical tributes. ![]() The boost proved so controversial that the match was put in for review to see if it violated any rules for the tournament. Having lost the first half 12-3, Olof’s sniping dominated the bewildered French side into submission. During the Dreamhack Winter semifinals of 2015, Fnatic revealed an outrageous boost against LDLC, stacking players on top of each other to gain an unprecedented sightline across the map. Despite this, Fnatic haven’t always proven popular. Prev of 8 Next Prev of 8 Nextĭuring 2014-15, Fnatic established themselves as the dominant force in CS, winning titles left, right and centre. Resting high over the T’s mid sightline, a grinning terrorist now watches over, wielding a ludicrous four sniper rifles. Gaining an early advantage, many of Fnatic even swapped back to AKs to overwhelm the French side. In what must have been the professional equivalent of a jump-scare for EnVyUs’ apEX, he stepped out to contest the centre of Dust2 only to find himself facing not one, but four AWPs. However, having built an enormous bank of cash for the final round of the half Fnatic chose to empty their reserves. At $4750 dollars coupled with a lack of flexibility, it’s rare to see teams run more than one AWP per round, with more than two all but unheard of. At Cologne 2015, Fnatic utilised an aggressive AWP play to push an overtime victory against French side EnVyUs. Swedes Fnatic are no strangers to employing avant-garde tactics in the competitive scene, with player JW well known for his sawed-off shotgun dominance on Cobblestone. The design proved so popular that cold commissioned a tattoo artist to replicate it on his arm. Tucked away by the van on Mirage’s B-site you can now find a winged AWP, adorned by four red skulls taking the place of the gun’s scope. Luminosity, however, went on to win the Major. Such a performance was crushing to Liquid who proceeded to lose the match in a double-overtime. ![]() Seemingly unfazed, he then finishes one more player with a sharp, reactive noscope. Quickly dispatching one player, cold follows up with an unbelievable, unscoped, jumping double-kill. With absolutely no margin for error, coldzera led a crucial AWP defence of Mirage’s B-bombsite. At a 15-9 scoreline, Team Liquid needed just one round to secure victory over the Brazilians (then Luminosity Gaming) at the 2016 MLG Colombus Major. There have been many phenomenal individual plays in competitive CS, but SK’s Marcelo ‘coldzera’ David holds what could prove to be CS:GO’s true standout moment. ![]()

![]() ![]() The DAC2's digital processing is also claimed to have 3.5dB of digital headroom when fed a signal of 0dBFS. Benchmark claims that the DAC2 HGC is a full 10dB quieter than the DAC1. First, it converts digital signals with four 32-bit ESS Sabre DACs run in balanced configuration. The DAC2 HGC offers two new features that should improve sound quality over Benchmark's older DACs. And one of the coaxial digital inputs can be configured to act as a digital pass-through. These lead to three analog outputs, one balanced and two single-ended. The DAC2 has two pairs of analog inputs, whose signals remain wholly in the analog domain from input to output (more on that later). ![]() While the DAC2 HGC has a lot of inputs, I miss the DAC1's balanced AES/EBU input and its BNC connectors for the S/PDIF inputs, all of which I used. To play DSD or 192kHz files, a downloadable driver is provided for Windows computers, and the DAC2 must be set to USB 2.0 mode. If you play only 24-bit/96kHz files via USB, no extra drivers are needed. The USB input works in asynchronous mode and will operate in either USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 modes. The DAC2 HGC has five digital inputs: USB, two optical, and two RCA coaxial. Except for the last, all of these functions can also be handled via the included remote control, which I found elegantly simple in design, layout, and function. The front panel also has buttons for Power, Dim/Mute, Input, and Polarity, a motorized Alps volume pot, and two ½" headphone jacks. While I can usually hear when a hi-rez file is being incorrectly truncated or decimated, checking the LEDs on the DAC2's faceplate reassured me that I was indeed hearing what I was supposed to be hearing. These are invaluable tools, especially when your digital front end is a computer and you want to know if you've configured your audio settings correctly to play hi-rez files. First, the front panel boasts sample-rate and word-length displays. The Benchmark DAC2 HGC ($1995) has a number of features not included in its older siblings. So when I had the chance to listen to Benchmark's new DAC2 HGC, I was very curious to hear where it fit in Benchmark's impressive lineage. I found the DAC1 HDR to offer slightly better, smoother sound than my DAC1. They released the DAC1 PRE, which added an analog preamp, then the DAC1 USB and the DAC1 HDR, which improved the volume control and used higher-quality op-amps. Keeping up with the times and the needs of the digital marketplace, Benchmark has steadily improved and added to its original model, the DAC1. I also wanted a component that could play data from a silver disc and work with my computerwhich I saw as the future of the digital front end. I produced recording sessions, and needed something that could play high-resolution files through my headphones. I bought my original Benchmark DAC1 ($995) because I was an up-and-coming musician who didn't have a ton of cash but who knew what high-quality audio was supposed to sound like. Sure enough, in 2013, the standalone DAC-preamp has become an integral part of the audiophile world, and no company has led the way to the high-quality DAC/preamp/headphone amp as confidently as has Benchmark Media. In his review of the DAC3 in the November 2007 issue, John Atkinson quoted my comparison of it with the Benchmark DAC1, which I called "the Swiss army knife of audio" and "one of the only future-proof source components you can buy these days." In 2007, I spent time with Bel Canto Design's e.One DAC3 D/A processor. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the meantime, I'll be back with an injury report, NFL updates and perhaps some pro wrestling talk. Email them to or tweet them to Kickoff at Gillette Stadium is scheduled around 8:15pm EST/1:15am GMT, so we'll soon find out. Oh no, he's still alive, I mean he was literally put on Injured Reserved because for being late.Ĭan the Colts take advantage of New England's decimated defense? Can Tom Brady school his younger opponent? Are we in for more fourth-inning magic like we've seen from Brady and Luck all season long? Well, what do you think? You can send up your thoughts, questions, jokes, anecdotes of Colts/Patriots games from the past, or really anything relating to the NFL playoffs and we'll use them in this liveblog. Of more concern is that New England have seen roughly 2/3rds of their defensive starters to injuries: Vince Wilfork, Jerod Mayo, Sebastian Vollmer etc. Luckily Tom Brady is still Tom Brady, so he's able to make the best use of less heralded offensive weapons like Julian Edelman and LaGarrette Blount. Tom Brady's favorite targets of the last few years are Wes Welker (currently with the Denver Broncos), Rob Gronkowski (currently injured again) or Aaron Hernandez ( on trial for murder). The Patriots lost a few key players over the offseason, and then lost many, many more to injuries. The good news for the Colts is that they've going up against one of the weaker Patriots teams of the Bill Belichick era. I think a divisional game on the road against Tom Brady and New England head coach Bill Belichick counts. Having helped his team win a playoff game, the next step in Andrew Luck's development would involve beating one of the established elite QBs in a game with high stakes. It's no longer two contemporaries battling it out for the "Best Quarterback Of The Era" title. With Andrew Luck as quarterback, the dynamic feels different. It's tempting to use this game to talk about this game in terms of the Colts/Patriots rivalry, but really that was a rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Their reward for the improbable, emotional win? Hitting the road to face the New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium for tonight's AFC Divisional Game. The Colts overcame a 28 point deficit to stun the Chiefs 45-44 and helped to write another devastating chapter in the depressing history of pro sports in Kansas City. Then, the Colts put together the second biggest comeback in NFL playoff history, perhaps best summed up by the ridiculous sight of Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck recovering his team's own fumble and staggering to the endzone for a touchdown. So what can the Indianapolis Colts do for an encore? For most of last Saturday, it seemed inevitable that the Kansas City Chefs would be the ones moving on from Wild Card Weekend. You see, Hogan is practically an exotic lizard: he needs to be in the light for a certain amount of time every day or he’ll die. So what really is the actual truth that necessitated this odd video? Well, that’s rather simple. ![]() ![]() But none of these seem like real answers. The video itself plays as if somebody commissioned it, like the clearly wealthy Patriots management suddenly turned into a community college throwing money at a famous person who once took a course there to shoot a video for them to play at orientation. Nanny a Pats fan? According to his video, he is totes stoked because one of the players bought some Hulkster merchandise to display in the Patriot’s dressing room (he probably means locker room, but you have to forgive wrestlers for confusing dramas with sports because they’re kind of in between). So Santa with Muscles decided to shoot a video demonstrating his support of the New England Patriots in what appears to be his lovely restaurant, Hogan’s Beach, located on the pristine beach of Scientology city (atmosphere is very nice if you don’t mind paying a little too much for Hooter’s quality food). Hulk Hogan seems to have some downtime after leaving TNA. ![]() ![]() ![]() These fibres are very thin, which allows light to enter from one side and strike the inside of the fibre with an angle greater than the critical angle, which causes them to travel through the fibre and exit it at the same angle as the entry angle.Ĭladding is the coating outside of optical fibres that have a refractive index that is smaller than the material inside the optical fibre and thus prevents light from being refracted between the fibres in a bundle.Ī light beam travelling through an optical fibre Optical fibres or fibre optics have applications in a variety of fields, such as communications to transmit telephone signals, cable signals, TV signals, the internet, and medical signals. This is related to Total Internal Reflection in Optical Fibre. We should note that two conditions need to be fulfilled for total internal reflection of light to occur: (1) the incident angle must be greater than the critical angle (θ1 > θc), and (2) the refractive index of the initial medium must be greater than the refractive index of the second medium (n1 > n2). Therefore, the critical angle between the boundaries of two materials where n1 > n2 can be determined using the following equation: When the incident angle equals the critical angle, or θ1 = θc, the refraction angle is 90° and sin90° = 1. According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sines of the incident and refraction angles is constant between two mediums. As the incident angle θ1 increases, so does the refraction angle θ2, but it can only go up to 90° when the incident angle equals the critical angle θc (Figure 1 (b)). The refraction angle θ2 is greater than the incident angle θ1 because the refractive index of the second boundary n2 is less than the refractive index of the first boundary. ![]() When we use mirrors in our daily lives, they reflect about 90% of the light and absorb the remaining portion, which is refracted as shown in Figure 1 (a).

The one shot you’re talking about is necrotic lance and yes it can one shot people, which is why you bring those spellwrights to a choke point and infuse vital essence potion the few times you run into them in the early game. I ran a 3 party team(chanter, Dps pally and a Dumped con /res rogue) and the rogue was more than capable of tanking 1 on 1 during the concelhaut siege which has a huge ramp in difficulty. Once you get to mid game and beyond even with 3 con you will have more than enough hp to survive the fight so long as you aren’t tanking more than one mob(and with a rogue you shouldn’t be). Which is why I said “almost completely useless”. If you plan to use a priest, various support spells only cover a small area. Staying far from your frontliners and out of reach from the AoE of attacks makes it more complicated to give party support. ![]() ![]() But melee rogues would be able to get the +12 Accuracy bonus for 1H weapon attacks, and that makes them a very interesting choice, since they can use abilities to cause essential afflictions more safely than with ranged attacks. Which probably means making them ranged attackers. Rogues are super-fragile and extremely helpless with CON 3 RES 3, unless you put a lot of effort into keeping them out of trouble.

I remember taking a bite of my pizza, holding the sign, and I look down and there was a man praying for me.

From there, we took this list to the source itself, asking for input from members Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning and Charles Spearin.

For example, “1,2,3,4,5,6,7” and and start back at one. The easiest way to explain this to someone who is not familiar with this time signature is to count to 7. As a musician myself, I always find myself falling for songs that have parts in 7/4 or 7/8. I grew up listening to classic rock and at the time I had no idea what 7/4 or 7/8 meant. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about songs in 7 is the band Rush. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, many families responded to smaller, more fuel-efficient cars embracing higher mpg standards.

What Were the Battle Lines Affecting the El Camino? What made the 1977 El Camino a treasured icon but the last of a rare breed? What were some of the specs and features that made it such a desired car? ![]() What was the issue, and what was going on in the minds of Chevrolet? Well, read on while we explore the ins and outs of the 1977 Chevrolet El Camino. The end of the muscle car era was on the horizon, and the 1977 El Camino was a casualty of the impending doom many manufacturers suspected was coming. Caught in a battle between producing what the public wanted and the outside pressures that government safety and mileage agencies were imposing, the company could not fight a divided battle. Unfortunately, the El Camino that Chevrolet offered proved a disappointment even though it was the company’s bestseller. Based on the Chevelle A platform since 1973, the car shared many of the same options as its muscle car brothers. Buyers could choose from three engine choices an in-line six-cylinder, 307 V-8, or a 350 V8. The 77 El Camino was Chevrolet’s top seller, with 54,321 units rolling off the assembly line. America loved this quirky car, and it showed as buyers couldn’t wait to get their hands on them. By 1977, the last year before a redesign, the Camino has engaged the hearts and minds of the American auto-buying public. Determined to produce a coupe/truck to match rival Ford’s Ranchero, the El Camino provided the best of both worlds, a pickup truck that was part car, part truck, or a front-seat station wagon with a bed for hauling stuff. What are the specs and features of the 1977 Chevrolet El Camino?īy 1977, the El Camino had entered its fourth generation and had found its place solidly in the heart of the Chevrolet lineup. One of the most sought-after classic vehicles in any car collectors garage is the El Camino. ![]() ![]() A hallmark of the Nik Collection, U Points make selective adjustments to color, exposure, contrast, and other settings possible. Edited with Silver Efex Pro Better U Points in the Creative AppsĭxO has made some changes to the way U Point controls work. So, the edits are technically nondestructive, but only as it pertains to the most recent application you used. But once I loaded the same file into Color Efex Pro and added a Bleach Bypass effect, I lost the ability to undo the edits I made in Analog Efex. With the nondestructive edits turned on, I was able to go back and make changes after the fact with ease. As an example, I applied a Vintage Camera look to the photo above in Analog Efex. The edits don't carry over from one application to another. Edited with Analog Efex and Color Efex Pro It makes it possible to work on a single image across multiple editing sessions and unlocks a bit more creative freedom. There's a benefit here-the bigger file stores your original image, too. The TIFF format files you use for editing are a lot larger than the Raw images your camera captures, even if you opt for an uncompressed format.įor instance, a 60MP Raw image from the Sony a7R IV is about 60MB the same file as a TIFF is about 360MB (or 720MB if you enable nondestructive edits). Saving non-destructive edits requires you to make duplicate files, however if you use a high-resolution camera, be prepared to get a big hard drive to store everything. If you use Photoshop as a launcher, you can also turn your edits into Smart Objects, though you need to save photos in PSD format for this to work. Images contain information about which filters are active, so you don't need to track and manage sidecar files. New Copy & Apply dialog supports batch edits in Lightroom and Photoshop You can also copy adjustments from multiple apps, but you must remember to apply them in the same order as with the original image-results won't look the same otherwise. Version 4 introduced several improvements to help photographers work on the same image across multiple apps, including tighter integration with Adobe and a speedier batch workflow process to apply the same edits to multiple images that doesn't require you to leave the confines of Lightroom or Photoshop. Edited in Color Efex Pro Not Quite Nondestructive A trial download is available too, in case you're concerned your system isn't powerful enough or you just want to test the software. They aren't strenuous and, if you have a workstation that's capable of processing digital image files, you should be set. You can find the full system requirements here. If you use an Adobe product, like Lightroom Classic (shown here), you can use it as a launcher to edit images in the Nik Collection Although the software has long supported 64-bit performance on macOS and Windows, version 6 upgrades all of the apps to Universal for Mac, which means they run on both Apple Silicon and Intel chips without compromise. I'm happy to report that DxO has upgraded the codebase for the Nik Collection with this year's update. The suite offers a mix of artistic filter effects and tools to accomplish more technical tasks, such as noise reduction and sharpening. Each application targets a specific purpose, and I break them down one by one below. The eight Nik apps-Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Dfine, HDR Efex Pro, Perspective Efex, Silver Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro, and Viveza-provide editing tools that aren't available in Raw workflow suites. Earlier editions of the Nik Collection included DxO PhotoLab, but that's not the case with Collection 6.ĭxO PhotoLab may be used as a host application, but is not included with the Nik Collection 6 ![]() It's not one big piece of software, but rather a suite of distinct plug-ins that integrate with a host workflow application (such as Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One). ![]() If you're used to workflow applications such as Lightroom Classic and Capture One Pro, you might be a little surprised by how you access the tools within the Nik Collection. For new users (and especially fans of film-inspired looks), the Collection continues to provide a wealth of top-notch editing tools. These upgrades might not be as compelling as in years past, but HDR specialists and photographers with a modern Mac might still want to get the latest version. Sharpener and HDR Efex are also set to get interface updates this summer. The latest version of the photo editing suite, Nik Collection 6 by DxO ($149 for new customers, $79 as an upgrade), adds a handy new Control Line function to U Points, brings the codebase up to date with support for Apple Silicon, and introduces some new features to the Color and Perspective Efex apps.
