In Aegis Defenders, you'll have to defend moving targets, targets with dynamic abilities like opening doors/weapons, and even targets who don't want to be protected as the game goes on. In most tower defense games, it's difficult enough to defend one point, but that's only the beginning. The setting is also wonderfully portrayed, with sharp and focused pixel visuals and excellent color utilization. Dangerous creatures, forgotten ruins, and potent relics are scattered all over this world. Explore the land of Elam, a beautiful yet perilous lost world. That’s what the developers of Aegis Defenders thought. Wouldn’t this setting make for an excellent tower defense game? They begin to extract all the knowledge but are attacked by a wide variety of alien creatures trying to stop them. Aegis Defenders (PC/Mac OSX/PS4/Switch)Īn expeditionary force makes its way to a land of long-lost abandoned civilizations. Trust me, you’ll be beyond surprised and satisfied! 11. You truly have to believe it when it’s claimed that the magic is finding out for yourself. There are more powers, skills, and weapons than you can count, so plan on spending a lot of time in this game! Let’s not spoil any information about the game’s enemies at all. The more action they see, the more XP they gain, allowing you to level them up through bespoke skill trees and unleash devastating combat powers during the fight. To form up your squad of three battlefield employees in OTTTD, you can choose from seven different hero classes. Do you sense a statement here? I surely do. Because the company's coffers had been depleted by a long period of peace, the research section produced Trans-Dimensional Rifts, which opened up lucrative prospects for war in other dimensions. You play as a commander for HEROCORP, the galaxy's fourth-largest private military corporation. OTTTD stands for Over The Top Tower Defense, and once you play it, you'll understand why. The types of aliens you have to fight are well and truly wild. How ‘alien’ can an alien species be? Well, that’s a question well answered by this game. Sometimes you just need a couple of balloons to shoot at. It’s not a difficult game at all and in fact, it’s great for winding down after a hard day of work or study. ![]() Every round, heroes acquire a certain number of experience points, which level them up automatically, or they can be actively leveled up using in-game currency. Heroes are special types of towers that automatically level up as the game advances, making them stronger, however, the player can only place one Hero every game. Bloons TD 6 introduces new gaming mechanics that were not included in prior games. This is a rather common trope in many tower defense experiences. Bloons TD 6 features 3D graphics, however, the game is largely played in a 2D perspective. It’s appropriate to start off the list with a kid-friendly and cute tower defense experience of high quality that is the ultimate release in a long-running series. Bloons TD 6's primary gameplay is similar to that of previous games in the Bloons Tower Defense series.īloons TD 6 is a tower defense game like the others in the series. It's how Squenix should have done their MMORPG's if I say so myself. I didn't really like the developers, staff or the community the game offered but the games idea was really sounds. RE: Final Fantasy Legacy, shut down! - Zeemis - 07-01-2011 Otherwise, I'll just drop this here for those of you who played the game, and enjoyed it. Which pretty much tells me that the game is pretty much screwed. ![]() FFL got a cease and desist notice from Square Enix, meaning that they are no longer able to play the game in the format that it is. And I doubt that I will ever play the game again, which kinda saddens me. I hate to say it but one of my favorite games has officially been shut down. Games, like with any other art form, should never be lost to the Ether forever, and the likelihood that these two games still exist on the hardrive of some computers out there, or as an Errant download link on a preservation site, is higher then zero in my eyes.Final Fantasy Legacy, shut down! - Abel.Emporia - 07-01-2011 So to the point, is anyone remotely familiar with what I’m talking about, and if so, do any of you know of a safe place to download a version of these games, and perhaps their Server/Client software that was avalible with them during their existence?Ĭuriosity and nostalgia aside, I am interested mostly in preserving the efforts of those who created these games, and would greatly appreciate any help in doing so. I say that, because I don’t actually know if they got into anything later, but regardless, it sucks. Several years ago, a DMCA takedown of both these games was issued to BYOND, and as a result both these games were scrubbed from the servers, and their developers dropped out of BYOND, never to be heard from again. However, we now get to the meat of this thread. ![]() I may be hyping it up too much, as it was never truly finished, but it was an very impressive game when I first played it several years ago, and I would very much like to play it again. The game was programmed to be exactly like FFV gameplay wise, with tweaks to events and land structure to allow more freedom in progression. Great pains were made to ensure you would have interesting progression going through it, as by completing dungeons and exploring the world, you would unlock the various job classes inherit to the original. ![]() The real winner, however, was FFV: Another World. With FFIV, you created a character from any of the main cast and stuck with them, picking up equipment and learning spells along the way. Two games made on this platform were super close recreations of FFIV and FFV, both made to allow players to create characters using the main cast of those games as avatars, and play through the world while being able to team up with each other on the same server. It fell off in use quite a few years ago, but some of the games made on it had since been breakout hits, like the infamous Space Station 13, and the retro-mmo NEStalgia. For those who don’t know, BYOND is an open source web game client and game maker toolkit designed to work with the website of the same name, intended to allow members of that site to create many different kinds of games and play them with each other using server/client connections. ![]() This is a good way to spend your morning in Paris now go grab some well-deserved lunch and keep exploring the city! If you follow this plan, you’ll have seen 6 of the Best Eiffel Tower views in the city. ![]() ![]() When you exit the area, go straight to 5) Rue de l’Université once you’re here, turn around and you’ll have a nice view of the Eiffel Tower, framed by the charming street.įinally, walk 5 minutes to the location 6) Square Rapp. Enter the area below the Eiffel Tower and be amazed by how massive the structure really is. Then, go back up the stairs, cross the bridge, and go to location 9) From under it. There you’ll be at the location 2) Carousel.īefore crossing the bridge, you can go down the stairs on the side and you’ll end up in location 7) Seine Banks this is the ideal location to chill for a bit, and enjoy a nice breakfast with a view. Enjoy different views and angles there, and make your way down to the Iena Bridge. Start your day at the 1) Jardins du Trocadero. If you start early morning for sunrise at the Jardins du Trocadero, you’ll be through the itinerary and ready for other adventures by 10:30 am. Obviously, this will actually take you way longer than that, given that you stop to enjoy the view at every location. Here’s the itinerary I recommend to check out the most beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower – this will take you 20 minutes in total to walk from the first spot to the last one, including stopping at the 4 other locations. As you can see on the map if you’ve downloaded it, from this location you can then move on to 6 of the other locations on the list. It’s a good idea to start your day by visiting the first place on the list, Jardins du Trocadero. Recommended Itinerary for the Best Eiffel Tower Views However there are several rooftops that are open to the public and that you can easily access: the roof of the Printemps shopping mall for example, or the many rooftop bars Paris has to offer. Most of the Paris rooftops are private property it is thus illegal to go on them (go at your own risk). If you want to see more photos taken from Paris Rooftops, check out Parkour Paris on Instagram To see Paris from above, with rows of roofs leading to the Eiffel Tower, gives you an indescribable feeling of freedom and excitement. One place where I love to go to have a different view of the Eiffel Tower is the rooftops. The last spot on this list of best Eiffel Tower views is a bit different. Walk around and look up, you’ll be surprised to see how different the Eiffel Tower is from there. Once you’re in, you’ll have a unique Eiffel Tower view from the bottom. Since you have to line up and queue to go under it, I would advise going really early (8 am) or really late (10 pm) to avoid crowds you won’t have to wait long to enter. To enter the area, you must know queue up, and go through security checks. We use to be able to walk freely beneath the Eiffel Tower, but due to the recent terror attacks in Paris these past years, the city has decided to build a huge glass wall all around the Eiffel Tower. But if you take your time, and look for it, you’ll end up in a pretty and tiny park from which you’ll have a unique Eiffel Tower view. If you walk in the street Avenue Rapp and pass in front of it, you’ll probably walk past it. Square Rapp is one of these locations you wouldn’t even notice if you didn’t know it existed. The 6th of the Eiffel Tower views is not too far from the previous one you’ll get from one spot to the other in 5 minutes.

On 1 September 2010, European Union legislation came into force mandating that lighting equipment must be labelled primarily in terms of luminous flux (lm), instead of electric power (W). Below is a table that shows typical luminous flux for common incandescent bulbs and their equivalents.Įlectrical power equivalents for different lamps Minimum light output (lumens) Many compact fluorescent lamps and other alternative light sources are labelled as being equivalent to an incandescent bulb with a specific power. ![]() Lamps used for lighting are commonly labelled with their light output in lumens and, in many jurisdictions, that is required by law.Ī 23 W spiral compact fluorescent lamp emits about 1,400–1,600 lm. It consumes about one sixth the energy of an incandescent light bulb producing the same light. See also: LED lamp and Incandescent light bulb An LED lamp capable of producing 470 lumens. So a lumen represents at least 1/683 watts of visible light power, depending on the spectral distribution. Mathematically, 1 lx = 1 lm/m 2.Ī source radiating a power of one watt of light in the color for which the eye is most efficient (a wavelength of 555 nm, in the green region of the optical spectrum) has luminous flux of 683 lumens. The same 1,000 lumens, spread out over ten square metres, produces a dimmer illuminance of only 100 lux. A flux of 1,000 lumens, concentrated into an area of one square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1,000 lux. The difference between the units lumen and lux is that the lux takes into account the area over which the luminous flux is spread. The number of candelas or lumens from a source also depends on its spectrum, via the nominal response of the human eye as represented in the luminosity function. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total amount of visible light in some defined beam or angle, or emitted from some source. ![]() The luminous intensity would still be one candela in those directions that are not obscured. If the source were partly covered by an ideal absorbing hemisphere, that system would radiate half as much luminous flux-only 2π lumens. If a light source emits one candela of luminous intensity uniformly across a solid angle of one steradian, the total luminous flux emitted into that angle is one lumen (1 cd♱ sr = 1 lm).Īlternatively, an isotropic one-candela light-source emits a total luminous flux of exactly 4π lumens. The lumen is defined in relation to the candela asĪ full sphere has a solid angle of 4π steradians, so a light source that uniformly radiates one candela in all directions has a total luminous flux ofġ cd × 4π sr = 4π cd⋅sr ≈ 12.57 lm. Luminous flux differs from power ( radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a " luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths, this weighting is standardized by the CIE and ISO. The lumen (symbol: lm) is the unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time, in the International System of Units (SI).

In this case, a better option would be something lightweight, breathable and quick drying, such as linen, with bonus points if it’s in a light colour. A heavy wool suit, especially in dark navy or black, is going to be very hot to wear on a sunny summer day. It’s important to think about seasonality, too. You can usually find the thread count by looking at a label inside the suit it will be a number preceded by the word “super”. Lower thread count fabrics are more heavily textured – think tweed or linen, as opposed to worsted wool – and are often seen as more casual. Generally speaking, fabrics with a higher thread count (that’s how many individual threads are in each square inch of material) are smoother, less textured and therefore more formal. Some fabrics are more formal than others, and some are better suited to either summer or winter.

Therefore, it often is mixed with another fuel that is easier to deflagrate. The gas is not flammable at a low pressure/temperature, but it delivers more oxygen than atmospheric air by breaking down at elevated temperatures, about 570 degrees F (~300C). The increase in oxygen allows an increase in the injection of fuel, allowing the engine to produce more engine power. In vehicle racing, nitrous oxide (often called " nitrous") allows the engine to burn more fuel by providing more oxygen during combustion. At 600 psi, for example, the required ignition energy is only 6 joules, whereas NĢO at 130 psi a 2,500-joule ignition energy input is insufficient. Nitrous oxide is said to deflagrate at approximately 600 ☌ (1,112 ☏) at a pressure of 309 psi (21 atmospheres). While noticeably less than the I sp available from hydrazine thrusters (monopropellant or bipropellant with dinitrogen tetroxide), the decreased toxicity makes nitrous oxide an option worth investigating. In a vacuum thruster, this may provide a monopropellant specific impulse ( I sp) of as much as 180 s. Because of the large heat release, the catalytic action rapidly becomes secondary, as thermal autodecomposition becomes dominant. In the presence of a heated catalyst, NĢO will decompose exothermically into nitrogen and oxygen, at a temperature of approximately 1,070 ☏ (577 ☌). Nitrous oxide also may be used in a monopropellant rocket. It also is notably used in amateur and high power rocketry with various plastics as the fuel. The combination of nitrous oxide with hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene fuel has been used by SpaceShipOne and others. Nitrous oxide has been the oxidiser of choice in several hybrid rocket designs (using solid fuel with a liquid or gaseous oxidiser). In a 1914 patent, American rocket pioneer Robert Goddard suggested nitrous oxide and gasoline as possible propellants for a liquid-fuelled rocket. Its high density and low storage pressure (when maintained at low temperatures) enable it to be highly competitive with stored high-pressure gas systems. As a secondary benefit, it may be decomposed readily to form breathing air. It has advantages over other oxidisers in that it is much less toxic, and because of its stability at room temperature, it is also easier to store and relatively safe to carry on a flight. Nitrous oxide may be used as an oxidiser in a rocket motor. It is used as a recreational drug for its potential to induce a brief "high" most recreational users are unaware of its neurotoxicity and potential to cause neurological damage. Nitrous oxide is used as a propellant, and has a variety of applications from rocketry to making whipped cream. Being the third most important greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide also substantially contributes to global warming. ![]() Global accounting of NĢO sources and sinks over the decade ending 2016 indicates that about 40% of the average 17 TgN/yr ( teragrams, or million metric tons, of nitrogen per year) of emissions originated from human activity, and shows that emissions growth chiefly came from expanding agriculture. It is a major scavenger of stratospheric ozone, with an impact comparable to that of CFCs. Nitrous oxide's atmospheric concentration reached 333 parts per billion (ppb) in 2020, increasing at a rate of about 1 ppb annually. ![]() It is also used as an oxidiser in rocket propellants, and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. ![]() It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Its colloquial name, "laughing gas", coined by Humphry Davy, is due to the euphoric effects upon inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anaesthetic.
