![]() ![]() If one of your pinning attempts fails, it’s a good idea to hold off on it for some time, until such time you’re confident that the next one will be successful. However, failed pinning attempts can give your opponents significant boosts in momentum, so don’t go in for the pin until you’re completely sure that it’s going to work. This one is more common sense than anything else- pinning is something that you’re obviously looking to do to finish and win a fight. In situations where you might be taking a severe beating, a well-timed payback move can actually turn the tide in your favour. However, similar to reversals, most payback moves are limited, and as such, it’s a good idea to save them for when you might really need them. From granting instant finishers to dealing deadly attacks, if used correctly, Payback can come in very handy during fights. Payback is a new mechanic in WWE 2K19, and it can be very useful indeed in certain situations. Of course, they’re not 100 per cent successful with each of their reversal attempts, just as you aren’t, but it’s better not to risk it. If you’re getting ready to unleash a finisher or a special move, you might want to save them for when your opponent can’t reverse them. As such, you should keep an eye out on how many of these they have left in their bag. Your opponents, too, have the ability to use reversals, of course. Sometimes it’s smarter to take smaller hits to save yourself from the big one. If you find yourself low on reversals, saving these for when your opponent might be gearing up to unleash a finisher is probably a good idea. ![]() You get a limited number of reversals, so overusing these for every attack from your opponents isn’t a smart move. Of course, if you’ve been playing WWE games for a while, you know that reversals aren’t an unlimited resource. ![]() As such, investing in reversals early on is also a smart move, and comes heavily recommended. These can save your skin in tough situations, such as when you’re dangerously low on stamina, or you find yourselves in the crosshairs for a deadly finisher. Don’t spam attacks constantly, and don’t trigger moves unnecessarily when you don’t need to. ![]() Lower stamina leaves you slower and sluggish, and more vulnerable to attacks and reversals, so you should always be mindful of how much of it you have left. You should always keep an eye on the gauge and make sure you’re pacing yourself. This includes both the base stamina itself, as well as stamina regeneration.īut of course, simply increasing your stamina isn’t quite going to cut it. As you create your player and start investing points in the skill tree, one of the things you should focus on first and foremost is the stamina. Your superstar’s stamina is one of the most important stats in the entire game, and can make or break a fight very easily. In this feature, we’re going to take a look at ten useful tips and tricks that you should keep in mind while you’re playing WWE 2K19. While many of you might be veterans of the series, others might be newcomers, while there are also some new features and mechanics in the game that we haven’t seen in past iterations. WWE 2K19 is out now, which means potentially millions of WWE fans are cracking bones and kicking ass around the world with the latest entry in 2K’s franchise. ![]()

![]() And let me tell you, these are folks who don’t normally watch Filipino movies and who have genuinely good tastes. I feel like an odd man out writing like this about a piece of creative work that a lot of people I know have been heaping with glowing praise. Maybe it will gain some critical acclaim for the novelty of a movie where Americans are presented as the bad guys. I also hope that the producers don’t feel too discouraged if they don’t win any awards at the Oscars where, I understand, they plan to enter the film. I guarantee that they will enjoy it as I did. I would suggest that, whatever their filmic or academic background, they should just go watchHeneral Luna for its entertainment value. Having said that, I would like to caution the serious students of motion picture art or of history to lower their expectations of the film because they could be in for some disappointment. Who cares about authenticity? And to rub it in, the officer was earlier shown in bed with a woman – as in, “How could he do that while fellow Katipuneros were being slaughtered?Ummmm. And then, there’s the sequence where Luna dragged a Kawit Katipunero captain before his troops by the poor fellow’s balls. Heneral Luna does that with dialogues and scenes intended to elicit spontaneous laughter or jolt the moviegoers in their seats (“Puñeta” has the same recall potential as Ramon Revilla’s “Bwakang ina” in Nardong Putik). ![]() The present generation has become so jaded that one needs to use the shock tactics of Trump and Duterte or Tony Santos’ approved kwela techniques to gain attention It’s just that, as an old hand in movie making, I couldn’t help noting how the makers of Luna applied familiar cinematic touches that my late director friend, Tony Santos, referred to as “Approved kwela.”Ĭonsidering how the audience loved the irreverent depiction of familiar historical figures and the overdose of invectives spit out by the Luna character I’m not surprised that Donald Trump is leading in the GOP presidential derby and Davao’s Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has endeared himself to many Filipino voters looking for someone to elevate to the presidency. I realize, that sounds almost blasphemous, talking about Heneral Luna in the same breath as Harabas, Agent X-44 and Nardong Putik. It reminded me of the dozens of films I wrote for Jun Aristorenas, Tony Ferrer and Ramon Revilla decades ago. ![]() In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I wouldn’t mind watching it again, although I would prefer better seating. We also had to make do with seats so close to the screen, it was practically like watching a show on a big screen TV with our faces a few inches from the set.īut I enjoyed every minute of the movie, the discomfort was well worth it. We had to buy tickets for the next screening three hours later and had to kill time waiting for it. The lines at SM BF on Sukat Road were long and we couldn’t get seats for the mid-afternoon screening. I HAD a chance to watch the movie Heneral Luna with my wife and family members and I was truly impressed with the crowd that it pulled. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() In essence, the 'bad bits' of Just Cause 2 are there - e.g the violence, but to any sane child in high school, they will be fine with it - much worse can be seen in films that are rated 12 or 15, and minority of bad language in the game is much tamer than anything typically heard in a high school. In both games, yes, it is possible kill civilians, but GTA V gives the players NO incentive whatsoever, and in fact rewards you for helping civilians - for example, random crimes can occur around the stunning city of Los Santos, and if you stumble upon one of these, (and successfully stop it), the player's reputation is boosted. To parents wondering what other games it is similar to, other than GTA IV, Just Cause 2 is very similar. I think Grand Theft Auto V is an excellent game. If there ok… it's fine if they play Gta 5 (And don't forget to tell them to keep quite about them being able to play it with people like teachers, grandmas, priests, ect) If they have over half the checkmarks filled, then I would talk to them about any concerns I had or they had and if they still wanna play it, then if they seem ok with it let them do the first 2 or 3 missions with you watching them, then talk with them again. I asked them to put a check next to something that they would be fine with. Here's what I did with my kids who have been asking me ever sense u got the game for myself, I made a list of all the bad things in Gta 5, and sat down with each of my boys septetly. And think, if you were a kid maybe 10-13 and your cusions or parents played it… wouldn't you want up play it? As long as your child can handle it it's perfectly fine for them to play it. Places like the strip club, players are never required to go there, not even for a side mission, so trust your child. And if they don't go to bed with nightmares. If your kid won't go to school and tell everyone "Hey I play Gta 5!" Your fine. Same with most of the cussing, drugs, and alcohol. If you actually look at the reviews nudity only shows up TWO times, and there in cut scenes and cut scenes can be SKIPPED. Like my boys, they grew up watching shows with me like the Big Bang Theory & Scrubs witch has a lot of things I know some parents would never let their child see, so their fine. It depends on your child, everyone is different. So in whole, as long as your child is mature enough to skip the cut scenes and know that the game isn't real life, then I don't think you should have any concerns about giving it to anyone over thirteen, since the language isn't any different (and probably less frequent) than what they would hear at school. Since the missions which are told in the cut scenes are repeated in the menu, skipping these cut scenes shouldn't interfere with their play through of the game. The majority of the swearing is in the cut scenes, which you should be able to trust your child to skip if you want them to, and the same goes for the nudity (although it isn't shown very often, once once or twice throughout the game). Firstly the mini game in the strip club isn't always on, and there's no mission which makes them go there, so you should be able to trust them enough not to go there. But after looking at the game and seeing him play it at one of his friends house, I decided to let him have it. My son had been asking me for the game's in the GTA series for quite a while, allot of his friends have had this game since they were as young as 10 and he didn't understand why I wouldn't let him have it. To be honest, as long as your child is over thirteen and knows their right from wrong then there's no real reason to stop them from getting this game. Which Side of History?

For example, one adventure may have you simply trying to escape from the castle before the Vampire (named Strahd) can wake up, chase you down, and eat you (or do whatever it is that vampires do to adventurers). The game comes with an adventure book that provides multiple scenarios. Once the three phases have been completed, the next player takes their turn. The Exploration Phase has you add a new tile to the board from the previously shuffled deck of tiles, provided you are on the edge of an existing tile and are in a position to “explore.” The Villian Phase has you possibly draw an “Encounter” card (depending on how the exploration phase played out), activate any special villains on the board, and then activate any generic monsters that you control. The Hero Phase allows you to move and attack any monsters or traps that are on the board, or to just move twice. Game play progresses with each player going through a series of 3 phases on their turn 1) a Hero Phase, 2) an Exploration Phase, and 3) a Villain Phase. You start by setting up several card decks, choosing a hero, setting up a deck of castle/dungeon tiles, and placing a starting tile. Game setup is fairly straightforward, and doesn’t take too long, which is great compared to games that have a 15 or 20 minute setup time. The game sort of acts as a Dungeon Master in the sense that it gives you a predetermined script to follow for any monsters that you will be controlling. One great thing about this game is that it is a co-op game, so it’s great for those times when you want to take a little break from competitive games to go on an adventure either by yourself or with friends. The premise of the Castle Ravenloft board game is exactly that one or more adventurers explore a haunted castle while fighting off monsters in pursuit of one of a number of possible objectives.Ĭastle Ravenloft is a tile based “build as you go” board game, meaning that you create the board as you play, rather than starting the game with a predetermined or pre-built board. I’ve long been fascinated with the idea of board games with a theme based around exploring a dungeon or a castle. ![]() So, it was with great anticipation that I ordered the Castle Ravenloft board game, which is part of the D&D Adventure System series of board games. Having said that, I’ve always wanted a board game that captured at least a little bit of the D&D feel, but without the need for a large chunk of time to be set aside to play, and without the need for a complex rule system. ![]() Just a click or two around the site will make that pretty apparent. It’s no secret that I’m a pretty big fan of Dungeons & Dragons. ![]() ![]() The Payed Out Cable Length (POCL) should be at least 50 feet greater than any previous dips (bottom depth and cloud ceiling permitting) and the transducer lowered and then immediately raised to trail position prior to departing the coupled hover.
