The boys are soon captured by the North Vietnamese, and what follows is the most memorable and horrific scene in the film. In hindsight, the confusion of these disorienting events adds to the nightmare. Mike, Nick, and Steven are reunited unexpectedly, so some amount of time has passed. A village is torched with flame-throwers while women and babies are massacred in the most brutal way. We then cut to the war, already in progress-no setup or transition. It’s a somber, unexpected moment that adds some much-needed pathos to these characters and their surroundings. Nick makes Mike promise that he won’t “leave him over there” in Vietnam, and after the hunt, the boys retreat to their favorite bar for one last round while John sits at an old piano and begins to play a nocturne by Chopin. The cast is appealing and the acting excellent-a major factor in its redemption. It plays better in memory than it does while watching it. You’re repugnant human beings.Īs I said, time and distance soften my anger and help erase The Deer Hunter‘s many faults. Despite several tense and horrific scenes in the remaining two-thirds of the movie, the stakes aren’t high enough anymore. I don’t like people or characters who do this, which means I am no longer invested on an emotional level with what happens to these steel-working buddies. But it’s a revolting “sport” to take pride and glee in killing innocent animals with rifles while laughing about it. If you hunt to survive and need the meat for sustenance, that’s one thing. I’ve gotta be honest about the deer-hunting scene and hunting in general. Nick proposes to Linda at the reception, and she accepts. They agree, and we learn that both men are in love with her. After he beats her, she packs a suitcase and shows up on Mike and Nick’s doorstep, hoping she can rent their trailer home while they are away. Angela’s maid of honor Linda (Meryl Streep, in her first Oscar-nominated performance) lives with her abusive, alcoholic father. Steven’s mother (Shirley Stoler) disapproves of the marriage, voicing her strong opinion to anyone who’ll listen. Angela is trying to hide her premarital pregnancy as she stands before the mirror, modeling her wedding dress. Engaging backstories and setups aside, it outstays its welcome, but if you’re in no particular rush, there’s an interesting story here. The first hour (one-third of this movie’s bloated, three-hour running time) depicts their last hurrah: a Russian Orthodox wedding, the inebriated after-party, and a final deer hunt. Steven is marrying Angela (Rutanya Alda) in a few hours, and their reception is doubling as a going-away party for Mike, Nick, and the groom himself, who are all leaving for active duty in Vietnam the following day.Ĭhristopher Walken (Nick), Robert De Niro (Mike), and John Savage (Steven). The story opens with this trio and their buddies “Stosh” (John Cazale in his final film role), John (George Dzundza), and “Axel” (Chuck Aspegren) finishing a shift and heading to their favorite bar on the dawn of Steven’s wedding day. Their simple and relatively happy life is primarily comprised of drinking beer and whisky, shooting pool, and deer hunting. Robert De Niro as Mike, Oscar-winner Christopher Walken as Nick, and John Savage as Steven work the graveyard shift at a local steel mill in Clairton, Pennsylvania. What I’m left with is the indelible memory of three average, steel-town workers and their loved ones whose lives are forever altered by the horrors of war. And long after the movie ends, my mind has completed the circles by filling several (often great) gaps in the narrative, I’ve concocted motivations for vague or unexplained incidents, I’ve truncated the slow passages, and I’ve excused unlikable characters. Strong performances, keen direction of actors, masterful cinematography, and a poignant score keep things afloat. Michael makes it possible for them to escape, but they soon get separated again.Despite the unnecessary length, cavernous plot holes, and sluggish pacing, The Deer Hunter is still a powerful film. After some time and many horrors the three friends fall in the hands of the Vietcong and are brought to a prison camp in which they are forced to play Russian roulette against each other. Before they go, Steven marries the pregnant Angela and their wedding-party is also the men's farewell party. Michael, Steven and Nick are young factory workers from Pennsylvania who enlist into the Army to fight in Vietnam.

Once there, click on one of the spare folder slots to bring up a window allowing you to choose a folder. So to do that, the best thing to do is to go to Options > File Settings by following the above GIF. Let’s be honest, most people are going to want to add their own samples to the browser. Any third-party VSTs or plugins you add will show up here too. This will show you all effect and generator (a fancy way of saying instrument) plugins. Similar to how Current Project works, you can the Plugin Database window in the main view, or by clicking on the ‘plug’ icon at the top right of the Browser window. This is useful for finding material you’ve got without having to sift through different windows. This will show you all sounds, automation clips, actions, anything done in the current project. Current ProjectĮither by navigating to this folder, or clicking on the paper icon at the top, you’ll arrive at the Current Project folder. We’ll get into how to use these in the Channel Rack section. You’ll find drum sounds, loops, FX, you name it. They’re actually not bad when you know how to use them. The Packs folder includes all of FL Studio’s default sounds. Let’s not worry about most of them, let’s instead look at the main ones. This is what the browser is for music producers in FL Studio.īy default, there are quite a few different folders. You’ve also got your toolbox, all the tools you use to make things. Imagine you’re a craftsman: you have raw materials like leather, metal and wood to work with. The snap control can be specified at those levels individually too (piano roll etc.), which is something we will get into a bit later.įL Studio’s Browser is where all your material comes from, whether its samples, presets or instruments. If that’s not making sense, it keeps everything quantized in time (to a specific interval) across your music. Underneath, you have a universal snap control (where it says ‘Line’ on the above image), which determines the snapping of the grids across the piano roll and arrangement. This helps you to visualise and time your music, as well as telling you the current load on your computer’s CPU. You’ll see a variety of buttons and also a time counter alongside a few visual effects. Switching between them allows you to move between sketching out ideas to making a full track, pretty seamlessly. This allows you to switch between playing what’s in the Channel Rack and what’s in the Arrangement. In this section, you’ll see two options: Pat and Song. In the centre, you’ll find your transport section: play, stop and record buttons for playback. Here you will find the File, Edit, Options and much more up the top left.Ī lot of them are straightforward, or just itemized versions of the various buttons and knobs that lay across the interface already, so don’t get hung up on these. Nothing is fixed, besides the toolbar across the top of the screen, which is what we will look at first. That’s the beauty of this DAW – it’s infinitely customizable, especially in comparison to its arch-nemesis, Ableton Live. The first thing to know about FL Studio is that all the windows can be moved around. Download the free eBook Table of Contentsįor most of you, FL Studio will look something like this when you first load it up. Poor characters, dialogue, dull city, and mission structure put me off the franchise forever. I was super hyped for GTA 4 and was majorly underwhelmed. I was big on GTA on PS1, GTA 3 and San Andreas being my favourite. My own expectation has put me off the games. Even now that dynamic open world Pokémon adventure still eludes me. By the time Wii came out it was quite evident that sort of game would not be a priority. Then I was banking the GameCube would provide the ultimate Pokémon adventure but that never materialised. When I saw Pokémon Snap on N64 I thought it was near reality to have a fully 3D adventure, but it did not happen. Back then I always imagined how the game would look on a console. I used to be a big Pokémon fan in the Game Boy Color days. GC: It’s been years since most Japanese role-players, including Final Fantasy, have had random battles. To be fair, it’s not just a problem with Final Fantasy but Japanese role-playing games in general and I can quite happily get along with computer role-playing mechanics just fine. I keep looking at Chrono Trigger knowing it’s not quite the same and feeling that I’m probably missing out on tons of great stories by not being able to get over their mechanics. I have also tried to play Final Fantasy 7 and I never even got as far as getting out of Midgar and I’ve also given 8 a bash and it all comes down to the same random battle nonsense that you have to put up with. I think the most I have played of one was halfway into 6 but for some reason, I didn’t continue past that point. I’ve tried so many times to play through the Final Fantasy series and no matter what I do, I can’t enjoy them because of the random battles. I used to enjoy playing those games as a student in the noughties and they are great fun in an arcadey way, but I haven’t played any of them seriously for years now and have come to find the way they fetishise warfare at times to not sit very well with me anymore. Lastly, I’m at an age now where I’m coming to not like Call Of Duty very much at all. The way Rockstar have handled the series since GTA 5 has soured me further on it. I appreciate the size of the maps, the music, the satire, and those other elements that give the games so much personality and texture, but the gameplay just feels like an afterthought, which I don’t like. I just thought it became a bit of a one trick pony where the world building was the only selling point. I sort of fell out with the Grand Theft Auto series after GTA 4.

The new Humma is a proper addictive version of the old one and has a “not to miss visuals” tag with its video. It is a modern version of dubstep with an Arabic touch of AR.Rahman’s Humma. As for the music, it has a beat drop to watch out for towards the end and the entire song seems well made and mixed and caters to the audiences of today. The cuts are apt and compliment the dubstep used in the song. The lighting is also wonderful and camera work by Ravi.K.Chandran is top notch. The pair of Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor is extremely convincing and they share an outstanding chemistry that backs up the strong technical team behind the scenes.Īnother highlight of the video is the presence of some real brilliantly choreographed dance moves that go hand in hand with the pace of the song. The video is refreshing and sensuous with some real intimate scenes. This version of the Humma song is very interesting as it has a remixed version of the original AR.Rahman song by Badshah and Tanishk. It was a yesteryear hit number by AR.Rahman for the film Bombay.

What do you think of these screenshots? Is Ridge Racer Unbounded making anyone excited? Leave your comments below. The possibility of actual gameplay details is high for E3 however, and we look forward to bringing you new Ridge Racer Unbounded information as it comes in. It may still be early for news on Ridge Racer Unbounded, but it's been a relatively quiet announcement, and usually one wants to enter onto the scene in a massive way. The developers at Bugbear Entertainment would be wise to learn a few tricks from one of Namco Bandai's other big titles, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, which has released a plethora of media as well as gameplay trailers and story details. The trailers so far and screenshots have failed to generate more than some quiet enthusiasm for the game, without many details or hints to latch onto. This game could make or break the series depending on its reception, and so far the media support doesn't indicate that Namco Bandai is quite so aware of this. The Ridge Racer series has declined in popularity and influence over the years as Burnout and Need For Speed have established themselves as kings of the arcade racing track. But we'll leave the speculation to you, after you take a look at the screenshots for yourself: We haven't been shown exactly why this Ridge Racer will be "unbounded". The game looks good from a graphics standpoint, but its impossible at this point to draw any conclusions about the game, because the most important aspect of any racing game (and of real cars) is how the driving actually feels.Īnother concern is the title of the game. This game is pretty simple to achieve the full 1,000, however for those of you that are not fans of racing franchises may. Visually, the screenshots are reminiscent of Burnout Paradise which is not a bad thing at all. Introduction: Hello and welcome to the roadmap for Ridge Racer: Unbounded. Namco Bandai haven't given any gameplay details, but at least we can take a look at what the new game looks like in the small set of screenshots they've released. In fact, other than a second teaser trailer, there hasn't been any news about Ridge Racer Unbounded, until now. The developer, Bugbear Entertainment, who've brought us the FlatOut games, hasn't released any details on gameplay. The game was announced back in February at Namco Bandai's Ignite showcase with a teaser trailer, which didn't do much other than establish that another Ridge Racer was in the works and that it would have an urban setting. Ridge Racer Unbounded is the latest installment of Namco Bandai's Ridge Racer series, one of the studio's core titles. We know spam when we see it and will delete it.It's been a while, but Namco Bandai is getting back in the driver's seat and lining up to race. This means things like repetitious posting of similar content, low-effort posts/memes and misleading/exaggerated titles on link posts. 1 Bandai Namco officially states that Ridge Racer Unbounded wont have online functionality anymore.

Having an array of lyrics are good when they work, but this is not the case. There is so many disconnected lyrics that are unclear it sounded like he was drunk the entire time he sang this song. “lUcOzAde” is as confusing as trying to figure out what this title is. Then he repeats how much he doesn’t care…again. The lyrics that could be listened to seemed to talk about conformity, then going into how now he is doing the same thing, yet with a different way doing it, and not caring what anyone thinks. The added oddity in the background changes the entire mood of the song, and it would have been much prefered if it was just left out entirely. It was like annoyingly trying to slap a bug away from your face and missing it each time. “BeForUr” was presented with a pleasing drumlike background at first, then added to it was an annoying hornlike sounding instrumental that made it difficult to listen to the lyrics. It sounded the same throughout the entire minute and a half, but it’s to be expected since it is an intermission. “INTERMISSION flower” was sung in Urdu, it’s short, and was the perfect time to leave and get a snack because you knew you wouldn’t be missing anything big. Each had their own distinct grievances, but it’s safe to say that none of them were the best songs ever. The album’s worst songs included the “MiNd Of MiNdd” (Intro) that consisted of a drunken experience when listening, “BeForUr,” “INTERMISSION flower” and “lUcOzAde”. Nothing was able to grab the listener in order to have a real opinion of it, so these songs were on the fence. The lyrics, “you’re a freak like me” is very clear to that. Then an acronym for take it off, “TIO” was yet another sexual song. “tRuTh” was similar in this fact as well as being very repetitive. The song “dRunk” consisting of clean cut lyrics and basic notes turned into an afterthought as the rest of the album continued. “dRuNk,” “TiO” and “tRuTh” all were plain. When first looking at this album, it’s safe to say that one may think “What man is in right mind would ever name songs this way?” If one has ever seen the movie or read the book Paper Towns by John Green, they would appreciate the Margo-like way of doing things, yet because that story has has no direct correlation to this album it is found to be more annoying than delightful.Ĭertain songs in this album had no true back bone to it: neither good nor bad. This being the case, his songs are not gritty to the point of uncomfortableness, as most songs in this day and age about sex are, it has more of that easy going type of explanation and sound, where one does not have to shy away from it. The main line up of songs talked about sexual relationships. Though it will be listened by the same audience, it’s distinctly different. This album is another level of maturity from the teeny bopper music One Direction had. The simple sound change seen in “Pillow Talk” sets the overall theme of what Mind of Mine is mainly like. But it was realized early on that fans had to choose if they would continue to see Malik as a departed One Direction member or simply another upcoming single artist. Released from the album was his single “Pillow Talk.” When given finally given to the public, fans went crazy: not just because the song was good, but because of the reappearance of their beloved teen heartthrob. Malik has had lots of eyes turned toward him just because he has gone in this new solo direction, and he truly did change from the pop, happy-go-lucky sound when with the group. Zayn Malik, originally from the loved boy band One Direction has finally come out with his first solo album, titled Mind of Mine. By McKenna Topps, Co-Entertainment Editor |
