The manga can be currently read for free in the Holonometria archive, with translations to English and Indonesian.

The first full version of the PV was then released on May 21, 2021, with a second PV released on June 11, 2022. In February 2021, Cover released a teaser trailer for hololive Alternative, a media project to present the women of hololive in a new world. As of November 2023, hololive boasts a total of 87 active talents across six branches: hololive (the original Japanese branch, also referred to as JP), hololive DEV_IS (a second Japanese branch focused on music), hololive Indonesia (ID), hololive English (EN), HOLOSTARS (a third Japanese branch with male talents), and HOLOSTARS English. A now-defunct Chinese branch was established in late 2019, marking hololive's first attempt to directly reach non-Japanese audiences, and this was followed by other branches with Indonesian and English-speaking talents. The group also garnered attention in the West after several translated clips went viral. However, from 2017-2018, Cover Corp gradually shifted the direction of the Hololive project from a streaming platform to the idol-styled VTuber group it is famous for now, after Nijisanji's skyrocketing popularity inside Japan demonstrated the potential for VTuber streaming.įrom 2018-2019, hololive rapidly gained popularity within China and Japan (and elsewhere in Asia), significantly expanding its talent pool across several waves or "generations". Cover initially envisioned Hololive as a platform that other streamers would use, and their first talent, Tokino Sora, was intended as more of a tech showcase. Hololive was originally the name of a smartphone app developed by Cover in 2017 that allowed for 3D motion-captured virtual character live streaming (inspired by Kizuna AI who kickstarted the VTuber world in 2016). The main channel also produces scripted 3D anime shorts featuring the members' fictional avatars.Ĭover Corporation, established in 2016, was originally focused on the development of AR and VR technologies. Although marketed as a team of idols, members of the group primarily make Let's Play and variety content livestreams on YouTube (except for Hololive CN members, whose main platform was Bilibili). Hololive is a Virtual YouTuber group founded and operated by Cover Corporation. "VTuber agency from Japan that makes fans go wild, the world over!"

In the fitness world, flexibility is all too often overlooked or underrated in most people's fitness routine. Arriving at the beach, it becomes evident that the aliens, who weren’t supposed to know the humans were coming, are more than ready for them, and have turned the operation into a massacre. Nobody even tells him how to disengage his weapon’s safety for fear that he’ll end up killing them. Cage, without camera crew and recognised by nobody, is thrown into barracks, given a mech suit and told he’ll be forming part of tomorrow’s assault, and will probably die. This is where we get into the film proper. He nervously tries to blackmail Brigham into not sending him Brigham’s response is to knock Cage out and send him anyway, stripping him of his rank before he wakes up in handcuffs at a military base. When General Brigham (Brendan Gleeson), a real soldier with little time for Cage’s PR antics, tells Cage he’ll be sent to the front of a major upcoming invasion with a camera crew in tow, the smarm turns to fear. The real-life Tom Cruise does somehow seem as though he was genetically engineered to be a huge star and smile on chat shows, and that’s the version of Cruise that’s revealed to us here. When Cage flashes his smile, just as when Cruise does it, it’s pure showmanship – the trick is admitting it. It’s very astute of the film to articulate this. And I love a bit of cynicism in a Hollywood flick. The Action Movie Cruise you’re expecting is replaced with a Public Relations Cruise that is more cynical. He’s just a PR guy, hired to put a pretty face on things. Which is when you find out that he’s not. He’s in so many that you begin to wonder whether he’s actually involved in the war at all. We’re introduced to the film’s world through a succession of news clips from around the world describing an alien invasion, many depicting interviews with Cruise’s Major William Cage as he talks up the US military and seeks to boost morale. In some ways it’s a real throwback to the way it used to be done before Christopher Nolan showed up with his grumpy Batman. This is what action movies should be like. It eschews darkness and introspection – it’s constantly on the move, doing new things. While my sarcastic description is absolutely correct, I didn’t realise that there was a good version of that mashup to be made. I’m so glad to say that I needn’t have worried. I was anticipating two hours of unintelligible nonsense with Cruise’s face glued over it in the hope I wouldn’t notice. I’d seen the trailer and sarcastically summed up the premise as Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers meets D-Day from Saving Private Ryan. After Knight and Day, I was wondering whether Tom Cruise should give up the action movies. I had low expectations of Edge of Tomorrow.

It’s like I’m repeating myself day after day after day… Based on “All You Need Is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Jez & John-Henry Butterworth. Anna will tell you that there is movement & Watchmen incoming (they will begin climbing up the cliff ledge to you). MP #8: When you drop down onto the plateau after Anna has gone up to snipe, stay in the initial area where you came down. Stay with her until she begins climbing to her sniping position for a Moral Point. MP #7: Once you reach the surface follow Anna towards the ruins. The Note will be on the ground in the back right corner beside a corpse in a blue coat. Note #2: After receiving the Moral Point for the corpses, look to your right in the same area. Burn some cobwebs to get at the corpses to find a Moral Point. MP #6: Once you & Anna reach a ladder, continue past it down the right further into the tunnel. MP #5: At the start of the Level, walk to the back of the train near the rear control console for a Moral Point. You will find the first Note on a chair just to the right of it. Note #1: After you are briefed by Miller, follow Anna out of the office towards the elevator. Complete the Tutorial to unlock this Achievement.

This is how I derive my Achievement Breakdowns & the first reference I create before I begin my 100% journeys. There are no Difficulty related Achievements.įor those interested, here is an organized list of all the Achievements/Secret Achievements. Be sure to have all the Notes collected as well or else you will have to go & find them all over again. Starting a New Game will reset any progress you have towards your locked Achievements. At least until we unlock the associated Achievements. I will include the locations of the Trip Wires, & the Safes with their keys since there is a limited amount of them. Remember to: disarm Trip Wires, loot Safes, unscrew lights, & burn cobwebs. Feel free to leave a descriptive entry on how to find them in the comments below though for other players if you feel the need to. since re-numbering my entire guide would be a pain, I probably won't be adding in any new found Moral Point locations. Obviously, the more you find the better off your odds will be. As I said, my list is not exhaustive & you may find some Moral Points not included in the guide. If you find the majority of the Moral Points, & do not kill anyone important you should be fine. The "Good Ending" may only be linked to if you save or kill specific NPC's. I have no idea how many of these you need to trigger to unlock the "Good Ending". This list is not exhaustive & I guarantee that I have missed some. In the guide, I was able to locate 108 Moral Point locations. I have never really experimented with them much to see how many were real or not, but I avoided them all the same. I have read multiple times that certain actions will give you Negative Moral Points that will detract from the “Good Ending”. There are a couple sections where we have to complete Levels without any kills or being detected if you follow this guide & collect what you can it should unlock for you. There are waaaay more of these in Last Light than there were in the previous Metro game so be prepared for that. If you find the majority of them & do not kill major characters it should unlock. I actually have no idea how many of these Moral Points are needed to unlock the “Good Ending”. You can choose any mode be it Spartan or Survival for either playthrough, I chose Spartan just to make it easier on myself, it will help you learn the controls & overall it is a more streamline system.įor the “Good Ending” we have to do/not do certain actions will give us Moral Points. I began with our Non-Lethal, Collectibles, “Good Ending” playthrough to get the majority of our Achievements out of the way. There will be two playthroughs we will have to do for this game to receive the “Good” & “Dark” Endings as well as playing on Spartan or Survivor Modes.

As for snagging, a kydex holster eliminates that possibility completely. This is an example of why I always recommend shooting a gun before buying to see if it works well for you. This gun and my hand are just not compatible. Like I said earlier, my friend didn’t experience any discomfort shooting this gun so I wouldn’t consider it a flaw in the gun. The gun performed reliably during my test but I limited my shooting to 500 rounds because of the discomfort. My two biggest concerns after shooting and carrying the G2C are discomfort when shooting and snagging when drawing from a fabric holster. Taking the G2C apart takes very little strength and is similar to breaking down a Glock, although it can be a little tedious during reassembly. *Tip -If you have a specific holster brand in mind, I recommend checking with them before purchasing this gun to make sure they build holsters for this model. Even though it feels larger than the bellyband, this hard-plastic holster allows for a much more consistent and safer draw. The piece under the clip is called a wing and it pushes against your belt, which in turn angles the grip of the gun closer to your body. In addition to having great quality, they allow you to customize the holster based on your preference of kydex color, rivet color and type of clip.īelts and kydex holsters often feel bulky on my petite frame, but this holster has a special attachment to help with that. My other holster option for the G2C is made by one of my favorite holster companies, Eclipse Holsters. From the pressure wall there’s little distance to the breaking point. Even though the pull has a long distance to the pressure wall, it feels very light through that range and the pressure wall is very distinct once it is reached. That being said, there are some positives to the G2C trigger. I think this helps with target acquisition when firing multiple shots and helps avoid “slapping” the trigger. I prefer triggers that have a distinct pressure wall, with minimal pull required after that point to fire the gun. When a friend shot this gun, he had no problem. Keep in mind, trying out a gun is like trying on a pair of jeans because everyone is different. This hack did go a long way to eliminate the discomfort for me but, of course this isn’t a practical solution. To verify this, I taped a piece of foam to my finger which added enough padding to move my finger forward in the trigger opening. I suspected that if the trigger pull stopped in a more forward position, it would be more comfortable for me to shoot. For more on this topic, check out my blog post, “ Should I use a Gun Safety?” This one is large enough that I can easily turn it on and off with my thumb while gripping or drawing the gun. Using a manual safety is a personal preference but I like them. And finally, the manual safety on the outside of the gun only allows the gun to fire when it is switched off. A loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide, lets you know without having to open the slide, if there is a bullet in the chamber. The trigger safety keeps the gun from firing if the trigger experiences pressure other than a deliberate pull from the front. This prevents accidental discharge if the gun were to be dropped. When it comes to safety mechanisms, the G2C is “loaded”! It has an internal striker block that keeps the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled. You can see those comparisons here: Recoil rankings. The G2C also has relatively low recoil compared to other 9mm guns of similar size. You can see the results and how the G2C compares to other popular pistols here: Tension Rankings. This was further validated when I measured the slide tension. The deep and somewhat sharp slide cutouts made it easy to grasp the slide and it felt easy to pull back. It’s made from metal instead of plastic, which may be a contributing factor. I had no such trouble with the G2C magazine, which ejected quickly with plenty of force. I’ve been frustrated before by magazines that don’t quickly drop when I press the release button wasting precious time to coax it out with my left hand. I don’t have a preference one way or another, but I noticed that the sights are low-profile and similar to the M&P Shield. I also appreciate the aggressive stippling which only appears on the portions of the grip that are most beneficial for locking the gun into your hand. First, my hand fits comfortably around the grip and the finger rests are convenient. There are several things I love about the ergonomics of this gun. Sunset admits that she never liked Flash romantically and further regrets her past actions. Rarity is amused by Flash's behavior, but she stops herself when she remembers that he and Sunset used to date.

This film was announced by Hasbro as part of a press kit at the 2014 International Toy Fair. Additionally, Sunset did not become a main character until the second draft of the script. As revealed in the audio commentary of the DVD, Equestria Girls was not initially planned to become a franchise and the thought of a sequel did not cross Meghan McCarthy's mind. |
