With issue #76 (April 1970), the series made a radical stylistic departure. His initial physical appearance, according to Kane, was patterned after his one-time neighbor, actor Paul Newman. Gil Kane and Sid Greene were the art team most notable on the title in its early years, along with writer John Broome. Hal Jordan was introduced in Showcase #22 (September–October 1959). Ĭover to Showcase #22 (October 1959), the first appearance of Hal Jordan Hal Jordan received his ring from a dying alien and was commissioned as an officer of the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar law enforcement agency overseen by the Guardians of the Universe. He had a new name, a redesigned costume, and a rewritten origin story. ![]() Hal Jordan's powers were more or less the same as Alan Scott's, but otherwise this character was completely different than the Green Lantern character of the 1940s. In 1959, Julius Schwartz reinvented the Green Lantern character as a science fiction hero named Hal Jordan. His costume was redesigned and the source of his powers was changed to that of the mystical power of nature (referred to in the stories as "the Green"). In 2011, the Alan Scott character was revamped. Between 19, DC Comics changed Alan Scott's superhero codename to "Sentinel" in order to distinguish him from the newer and more popular science fictional Green Lanterns. He never got another solo series, although he did star in individual stories and in the single-issue 2002 comic book Brightest Day, Blackest Night. Initially, he made guest appearances in other superheroes' books, but eventually got regular roles in books featuring the Justice Society. When superheroes came back in fashion in later decades, the character Alan Scott was revived, but he was forever marginalized by the new Hal Jordan character who had been created to supplant him (see below). The Green Lantern comic book was cancelled with issue #38 (May–June 1949), and All Star Comics #57 (1951) was the character's last Golden Age appearance. He also appeared in All Star Comics as a member of the superhero team known as the Justice Society of America.Īfter World War II the popularity of superheroes in general declined. Most stories took place in New York.Īs a popular character in the 1940s, the Green Lantern featured both in anthology books such as All-American Comics and Comic Cavalcade, as well as his own book, Green Lantern. Alan Scott fought mostly ordinary human villains, but he did have a few paranormal ones such as the immortal Vandal Savage and the zombie Solomon Grundy. The limitations of the ring were that it had to be "charged" every 24 hours by touching it to the lantern for a time, and that it could not directly affect objects made of wood. From this, he crafted a magic ring which gave him a wide variety of powers. ![]() This Green Lantern's real name was Alan Scott, a railroad engineer who, after a railway crash, came into possession of a magic lantern which spoke to him and said it would bring power. He first appeared in the Golden Age of Comic Books in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940), published by All-American Publications, one of three companies that would eventually merge to form DC Comics. Martin Nodell (initially using the pen-name Mart Dellon) created the first Green Lantern in collaboration with Bill Finger. Green Lantern's debut in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940), ![]() They have been adapted to television, video games, and motion pictures. The Green Lanterns are among DC Comics' longest lasting sets of characters. Other notable Green Lanterns include Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz and Jo Mullein. For the Silver Age of Comic Books, John Broome and Gil Kane reinvented the character as Hal Jordan in 1959 and shifted the origin of the character from fantasy to science fiction. The first Green Lantern character, Alan Scott, was created in 1940 by Martin Nodell with scripting or co-scripting of the first stories by Bill Finger during the Golden Age of Comic Books and usually fought common criminals in Capitol City (and later, Gotham City) with the aid of his magic ring. The characters are typically depicted as members of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic law enforcement agency. They fight evil with the aid of rings that grant them a variety of extraordinary powers, all of which come from imagination, fearlessness, and the electromagnetic spectrum of emotional willpower. Green Lantern is the name of several superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. ![]() Pictured left to right: Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Kilowog.

![]() These references are more integral to the story and their relationship than in my other pieces, in that I’m not relying on mentions of sex as something these characters have or desire to convey their allosexuality. Please don’t read this without having first perused The Sorcerous Compendium of Postmortem Query (available on WordPress, Patreon and in the When Quiver Meets Quill collection).Ĭontent Advisory: This story contains non-explicit references to sex and sex acts by two allosexual aromantic-spectrum women. In so long fearing her inability to stay in love, she has donned fear’s cloaking veil of abstraction and self-obsession.Ĭontains: A sapphic, lithromantic trans witch making a misstep in the quest to build a love that honours her nature an autistic, idemromantic schoolmarm with coeliac revealing her struggles in building romantic relationships with allistic women and a conversation concluding in utterances of the word “when”. Mara thought speaking of her fading love under cover of dark difficult enough … but speaking of romance in daylight is another challenge entirely. Too much Mara needs to know to hold this conversation without losing Benjamin’s friendship. Yet her months of searching for magic to refresh her fading love means there’s too much she doesn’t know about Benjamin. If she’s truly the woman Mara hopes, surely Benjamin will be receptive to a conversation of the “I love you and want to be with you, just not romantically” sort? Surely this afternoon won’t stray beyond Mara’s preparations of a picnic basket, chives, rehearsed speeches and less-rumpled clothing? After a night of revelations to her dead aunt Rosie and her living brother Esher, Mara Hill must dare another with Benjamin Lisbet. ![]() With all the over the top home audio products those with the resources can acquire these days it's a pity the same sort of fanatical rigor isn't being applied to microphones.Ĭlick to expand.Actually, there's three versions, but essentially they are exactly the same thing. I suspect to capture all that as one would hear the event in situ would require higher sampling rates then we have now. That wasn't on my radar while I was looking at hardware (which I have yet to purchase).Ĭlick to expand.I won't deny the possibility that something else is going on where having the ability to properly track a 100khz waveform would produce an audible improvement in the midrange-in symphonic music you have the same note played by 30 or so people in the string section, no one playing exactly the same B♭, the room chiming along with various elements in the building resounding on a different pitch, in a different part of the biggish building, at different but close times, with the massed forces of brass, reeds, woodwinds and percussion playing pitches in the same tonal neighborhood and the auditorium doing the same tricks to all those other instruments as well. Hybrid dual layer discs, I just rip the redbook layer andĭeclare it good enough to sit beside the other stuff in my digital library. It bugs me I have some single layer SACD discs that I can't easily rip. ![]() I think I may also be "needle-dropping" some DVD-A, SACD, and/or BLU-RAY discs too (via the analog connectors). $1,000 is out of my league for this project. I don't think I'll be looking for anything that does 192 Khz but I was drooling over a $1,000 box that claims it can do it (and DSD as well). It seems like it should - but the conversion to the lower rate isn't intuitively obvious (you don't just take every other sample and call it a day).īut from the "try it and see" perspective, hardware that supports both 88.2 and 96 would give me another point of comparison. I'm not entirely convinced that 88.2 provides a better downsample to 44.1. ![]() I just looked at some that do, and some that don't. I'm not sure all consumer recording products support 88.2 sampling. That wasn't on my radar while I was looking at hardware (which I have yet to purchase). but I'd at least like to take a stab at it before I dismiss 96/24 entirely.Ĭlick to expand.You make a good point about 88.2. I can always re-sample after the fact or start using lower capture settings in the hardware if I decide they aren't worth it. Theoretically, my cartridge (Grado-Silver) claims it can capture high frequencies - and my tube pre-amp claims the same. I have a fairly nice turntable, cartridge, and tube pre-amp but I don't think the noise floor of vinyl needs the extra bits. Seems to me like dithering is what's done when the 24 bits are reduced to a smaller number. Would there be any point to dithering a 96/24 file to a second 96/24 file ? It would be easier to just create flac or alac files. I've read a lot about how to re-sample down from 96 Khz and then dither, but that seems mostly if I'm trying to get the files onto a red-book format media. Most of my vinyl is in good shape - but not everything was purchased new - so I inherited the care (or lack thereof) from the previous owner of each disc I purchased. just as a way to get my vinyl into a digital format. I'm not doing this a restoration project that will eventually be sold to other people. So the benefit of the extra data seems to mostly depend on the amount that I want to play with the raw data.īut is it really possible to clean up pops and clicks in vinyl ? More specifically, it is possible using an automated process ? I don't have the patience to go through and clean up every pop or click. Reading, it seems likes the biggest benefit I would get from the extra samples and increased bit depth is anything I might use to attempt to remove vinyl artifacts would have a better chance of working successfully if the processing is done on the original raw 96/24 data. I traditionally have recorded digitally at 44.1/16 and done very little to nothing to the files (other than trim the dead area between songs because the pops and clicks are more prominent during the zone between songs). But somewhere along the way I started to question what the value is of the extra data is. Given that hard-drives are fairly cheap, and files can be re-sized using lossless methods - I'm not too worried about the hard-drive space being a problem. That assumption was accurate, but along the way I started to question whether or not 96/24 was going to be worth the added expense (which I'm defining mostly as hard-drive space). I was assuming that I might be able to get something that can record at 96/24 for a reasonable cost. ![]() I posted something earlier this week about upgrading my current "needledrop" hardware to something more modern. The crafting system is horrible, the farm to craft something is acceptable in any game but in here you have to farm a lot plus you must wait for your item to craft or you can get it instantly by paying real money, which make the game very repetitive and this grind start from the beginning, you shouldn't be grinding/farming all that much in early levels. Is Pay2Play but in a different way than in other AE titles, this one is linked directly with the horrible crafting system more than anything else. The history and the puns of this game are great as in other AE games. The graphics are in tune with the previous games of AE. It's a lightweight game and the cross-platform is welcome and innovative. Maybe there are some misspelling, sorry for that if you find one, english is not my main language. Well, this are my opinions so far about 1 hour that i played the game, pls don't judge me only because i played 1 hour, i just needed 1 hour to figure out the direction of the rest of the gameplay, i feel that this game has potential and the dev team behind it is very capable to do cool things :) : I haven't played any of AE's other games, but AQ3D is very boring. Will there be raids, will there be a way to earn Dragon Crystals in-game, will there be more to do besides fetch-quest and see how much gold you can collect? Crafting isn't gather and craft, it's gather and wait. It has no guild (coming some time down the road apparently), no end-game (standing in a circle around a mob, group killing it every 20 seconds is not end-game) and the environment doesn't captivate you. If they are trying to simplify the genre or re-invent the wheel, ok, but AQ3D has no trading, no economy, no auction and no need for any of it because all you do is stand around collecting gold for that next 4 hour craft. I'm not paying for vault space, and I don't see any reason to back the game because it's been in beta forever). I am a cosmetic collector, so I am crafting 1/2 of the stuff in the game anyways (even though I have no space to put it. you get to 17 in no time at all and then you stand around farming for stuff that you don't even need. From potions to vault space they want real money. Micro-transaction for just about everything. I don't mind it so much but I don't exactly like it.

Many people trolled her for her choices and she admitted that she felt down and hurt by their comments. However, her colleagues at the show reckon that they lost an invaluable asset in her since she had helped them build the show ground-up.Īs such, her role was taken up by Molly McCook, a move that was met with a lot of backlash from the fanfare. Molly might just be appearing on the next big project soon. She deserves more appreciation after what happened last year when Last Man Standing returned but without Mandy Baxter because of some horrible decisions made by the producers behind the scenes! We can only hope that this time around it won’t take six years before getting another role again. Molly is still relatively young so we’re sure that the Emmy award winner will be back on our screens very soon with something new to shine for! Since she left Last Man Standing, Molly Ephraim featured in Brockmire, Halt and Catch Fire, Modern Family, and Hulu’s The Act. Maybelle Fox’s character is inspired by Maybelle Blair, now 95 years old, former All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player. In August 2022, it is confirmed that Molly Ephraim will act as Maybelle Fox on the new Prime Video show ‘A League of Their Own.’ Since then, Molly hasn’t been part of many big projects, begging the question of what she is up to now. This led to drama, and Last Man Standing fans took to Twitter to protest the changes. Molly Ephraim was replaced with Molly McCook. RECOMMENDED Why Does Emily Fernandez Have a Trust Fund? The show’s producers swapped the actress that starred as Mandy Baxter! And this didn’t sit well with the fans. One tiny detail threw everyone off since its return, and the show has never been the same. ![]() While there was a wide appreciation that the show had returned, the fans were hit hard with one awakening truth! The show’s most recent airing was season 8, its finale. However, the channel brought the show back after a lot of uproar from the fans. ![]() There’s no doubt that Warzone was a monumental introduction in 2020, but the poor performances of both Cold War and Vanguard sapped the franchise’s energy. While 2019’s Modern Warfare was something of a boon for the franchise, revitalising both the multiplayer scene and the esports community, it died off fast. So, is Call of Duty dying? If we compare what exists today to that ‘heyday’, it could be. This puts it in second place overall for the record of the most concurrent viewers for a Call of Duty tournament in esports industry history. For instance, in March of 2022, a special MW3 esports tournament was held, and according to, it pulled in a peak viewership of 439,000 users. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009, 26m sold).Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012, 30m sold).Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011, 31m sold).Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010, 31m sold).While the esports side of Call of Duty has continued to grow as time has gone on, the multiplayer experience and overall feel of Call of Duty were much more enjoyable a decade ago.įrom this period, some of the most popular Call of Duty titles of all time emerged: This was, according to opinions and statistics, the most popular and exciting period for Call of Duty, and the franchise saw massive growth. It can be argued that Call of Duty’s heyday spanned from 2009 to around 2013, reaching from Modern Warfare 2 to Ghosts. There’s no doubt that things are looking up as we move ever closer to Modern Warfare 2’s impending launch, but will it be enough to save the entire platform from collapsing? Once and for all, we’re going to find out if Call of Duty is dying. However, the franchise has lost a little something in recent years, and sour opinions mixed with a dwindling player count have left people asking, ‘is Call of Duty dying?’įrom esports tournaments to the opinions of players, and from the evolution of the games to the financial side of things, we’re going to break that question down. With a series that spans thirty-six releases, Call of Duty is easily one of the most iconic and widely-enjoyed titles in modern gaming. Since 2003, Activision has been working hard to establish Call of Duty as the number one FPS franchise of all time. |
