I’ll pick my own name.and my own life.I'll find something worth passing on" ―Raiden i agree that physics themselves don't make a game good but in this type of game all the gameplay itself is built around the tech: you've got amazing and super smooth animations, good gfx, demanding shooting mechanics that really change the way you play and rewarding feedback for your actions - particle effects, death animations and ragdolls, environment gets destroyed,enemies are more challenging and the game itself feels like it's much more than just a flash game. i played a few levels and then i tried my own take on madness and pure killing is much more fun for me thx to the gore and physics. anyway it pretty much depends on what you look in a game, it does the series justice, it's fun and has some really cool ideas but the shooting itself and killing doodz is only ok - their strength is masses. they shouldn't be even compared to each other so i'm surprised that you were asking for it.

Companies like StackSocial can help Apple overall, making its ecosystem more competitive with Android, which has already spawned third party marketplaces, though some are riddled with pirated apps or malware. It’s inevitable that an ecosystem grows around Apple’s own app market, especially as Apple has such a stronghold on the Mac App Store and iTunes. The consumerization of IT is a growing trend, touching every aspect of the cloud, tricking down from the enterprise and landing on our tablets. And considering the prices of many necessary and popular iOS apps, it’s a marketing and consumer-driven initiative that’s pushing companies like StackSocial to create their own hubs around mobile applications.

My only knock on these shoes in this category was that they ran hot. The uppers secured my feet comfortably, and I found just enough cushioning from the thick insoles (the shoes seem to have no midsole). I have never felt as low to the ground as I did in the Flares, yet I also felt very comfortable. After a couple of sessions I learned to love how the shoes flexed and moved with my feet. It's somewhat hard to explain, but the Flares made it feel like I was hitting almost barefoot, with just an outsole to protect my skin. It took me a couple of hitting sessions to get used to how these shoes rode on court. Chris described these unique shoes, saying, "The fit and feel of the Flares were very different from anything else I've worn. The co-ed playtest team stepped up to the plate to try out the new Nike Flares and their minimal ride. All in all, the Nike Flares offer a unique high performance feel for aggressive players. However, all of our playtesters felt the shoes were missing some much needed ventilation. Traction and weight were highlights, as our playtesters enjoyed the balance of grip and give when starting and stopping, and the light, fast feel of the Flares as they moved around the court. Additionally, the XDR rubber outsoles held up to the vigorous demands of our playtesters. It took quite a bit of effort just to get the Flares on, but once they were on they surprised our playtesters with their excellent support and stability, as the ankle strap and extremely low-to-the-ground ride balanced out their minimal cushioning and uppers.

The former is just what it the title suggests, a full two minutes of old men and women reminiscing, lamenting, and pontificating. By contrast, with “Voices of Old People” and “Old Friends,” both the listener and the songwriter are observers rather than participants. And although “Save the Life of My Child” is not, it is filled with first-hand insight. “America” and “Overs” are written in first person. “Overs” is another fine example of great songwriting.Īs we move on from middle age to old age, there is a shift in perspective. “I’m empty and aching and I don’t know why.”Ĭounting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike,įrom a young man’s struggles in finding his own way to the struggles of the middle-aged couple whose relationship has grown comfortable yet passionless. “Kathy, I’m lost.” I said, though I knew she was sleeping. “America” is a beautiful expression of the aimlessness felt by so many of that age, facing the awesome responsibility of “having your whole life ahead of you.” “A boy sat on the ledge” – surrounded by adults who, from his perpsective, didn’t understand his feelings, and misinterpreted his actions.įrom childhood to young adulthood, the next song is the best-known on the Bookends side of the album. Looking back, I think that I identified with the main character of the song. Though the song made no logical sense to me, and its odd background noises challenged my eardrums, I felt a real connection to it. “Save the Life of My Child” holds a strange place in my memory. So the album begins with the instrumental-only “Bookends”, sad and melancholy, lastly only half a minute before it fades into the harshly somber first notes of the next song. Each is named “Bookends” and each features only acoustic guitar for instrumentation. Of the seven songs, the first and last are the same song. I am as familiar with the songs on this album as any I can think of, and yet it was just recently that it occurred to me that side one of Bookends (the ‘Bookends’ side) takes us chronologically through the stages of life, and their unique struggles. That means that I first heard this album when I was no older than 10. But given her love for their music, I can’t imagine that it was very long after its release. I can’t give you the precise date that Bookends took its first spin on our turntable. I’ve mentioned before that all the Simon and Garfunkel albums in my birth family’s house belonged to my sister. It is with a fair amount of embarrassment that I admit that this realization escaped me for many years. Or perhaps better stated, the journey of a life. Seven songs, lasting just under fifteen minutes, take us through the journey of a lifetime. Artists were starting to use the medium creatively and Bookends is one of the first to devote an entire side of an album to a theme. Vinyl was in the beginning stages of its heyday. It is, in that regard, a breakthrough album. The albums leading up to Bookends increasingly show Simon’s developing songwriting skills, and glimpses of his creativity. But it is with this album that we really see that originality flourish. That being the case, why would I select Bookends, rather than their fifth and final album, Bridge Over Troubled Water, as topic for this TBT? It is generally accepted that each Simon and Garfunkel album surpassed its predecessor in quality, popularity, critical acclaim and recognition. Bookends, the fourth of five studio albums from the iconic duo Simon and Garfunkel, is just two years shy of celebrating its fiftieth birthday. |
