![]() Artyom can strip the attachments off of the weaponry he finds on his fallen enemies to later apply to his own guns. Two main weapons and either the Tikhar or the HelsingĪrtyom's wristband can be customised with indicators (the nixie watch from Last Light is back as part of this), while the firearms utilised in the game can be modified in five different areas: scopes, barrels, magazines, attachments, and stocks.Players can customise almost every aspect of Artyom's loadout, including: Exodus includes a full weather system with a dynamic day/night cycle (Artyom can rest in Hideouts to pass time). The largest areas of Metro: Last Light capped out at 200x100 metres, while the regions of Metro Exodus stretch to 2 square kilometres. The developers refer to this as "Sandbox Survival", highlighting the fact that it is not a fully open-world title. Therefore Exodus consists of two large sandbox areas tied together by linear or semi-open world areas. 4A Games creative director Andriy "Prof" Prokhorov described Metro Exodus’ structure as almost like an accordion, with every level shrinking or expanding depending on what the story calls for. Since the core teams at both studios have experience from working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, their idea was to combine the mostly linear gameplay of the Metro franchise with the more open-ended nature of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Much like previous games in the Metro series, Exodus is a first-person shooter with survival horror and stealth elements - however, it is not quite the same formula, as the experience has been greatly expanded and built upon for even more variation and non-linearity. The Moscow Metro's bullet economy does not apply outside of the city, but scavenging is even more important than it was before. Some of the new characters include: Alyosha, Duke, Tokarev, and Yermak - among others. Anna and Miller are some of the familiar returning characters, but there are more. Metro Exodus follows on from this, where Artyom has gathered a group of survivors to leave the metro and embark on a journey. The Redemption ending of the previous game is canon. In the game, Artyom can explore vast stretches of the Russian wilderness, where the air is breathable without the use of filters and the soil may be fertile in some areas this confirms information already presented to the reader in the Universe of Metro 2033 book series. The Aurora travels across the country using the Trans-Siberian Railway. They flee from the metro, leaving Moscow entirely, on a journey to find a new home. Some of the events of the third book ( Metro 2035) are canon in the video game continuity as well, so Artyom and Anna are now a married couple. She is also Artyom's adviser and provides support on missions outside of the Aurora. Since Exodus is set in 2036, after the events of Metro: Last Light, Artyom is still the protagonist and his partner Anna ( Miller's daughter) plays a part in the game's plot as a member of Aurora's crew - the best sniper in the Spartan Order. Artyom recruits various comrades along the way, but not all will survive the journey, as 4A delivered on its promise of decisions with consequences as part of a gripping storyline with replayability. The heavily modified steam locomotive used by the main characters is known as the Aurora. Like with the previous games, Dmitry Glukhovsky worked on the scenario of Exodus. It was later announced that Metro Exodus would return to Steam and other digital storefronts on 14th February, 2020.ĭue to the delay of the proper Steam release and negative public opinion regarding the Epic Games Store, Deep Silver's decision was met with much controversy among PC gamers and longtime fans of the series. On 28th January, 2019, it was announced that Deep Silver and 4A Games were partnering with Epic to sell digital PC copies exclusively in the Epic Store, though all Steam pre-orders would be honoured. By mid-December of 2018, Exodus went gold and its launch was pulled earlier to the 15th of February, 2019. It was first announced at E3 2017 with a release date of 'departing 2018' and then given a specific release date of 22nd February 2019 during E3 2018. ![]() It continues Artyom's story from where Metro 2035 left off. ![]() Inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus is the first game to be set completely after the books rather than during or between them. It features a mixture of confined corridors and vast, non-linear levels (set in the Russian wilderness), tying up together to follow a storyline that spans an entire year through all four seasons. Exodus is a story-driven first-person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror. ![]() ![]() ![]() Soliloquies give a privileged insight into a character’s thoughts, and can therefore be used to explain some of their choices, motivations, or actions. They are speaking to themselves, rather than to another character or the audience. Here are the following types of monologues: SoliloquyĪ soliloquy is a type of monologue given by a character who assumes nobody is listening to them. Remember this, as it will be important to take into consideration when you come to write your monologue, as we will come to explain in a later section. Generally, the information given in a speech usually cannot be given in dialogue - at least not in the same way - and this is the reason why monologues exist. Indeed, telling part of a story through speech instead of scenes can save time and explain in more detail what has happened, in a way that imagery or dialogue couldn’t.Ī monologue is also a great way to pack a lot of information into a scene, in a way that dialogue might not allow, due to the back and forth of the speech between characters and perhaps, at times, the unwillingness of the characters to reveal some information to one another. Monologues can also be used to move the story forward. Just in the same way, we can’t truly get to know someone unless they let us in on their innermost thoughts and, sometimes, secrets, our knowledge of a fictional character would remain limited if it weren’t for monologues giving us some insight. They give a glimpse into the character’s thought process when making a decision, which helps us, the audience, make sense of that decision.Ī monologue also invites viewers, listeners, and readers into the speaker’s mind and gives them a glimpse of their true nature. Monologues tend to be used to give the audience more information about the story or the character’s thoughts, personality, or motivations. The word ‘monologue’ comes from the Greek words ‘monos’ and ‘logos’, meaning ‘alone’ and ‘speech’ respectively. We’ll also use the terms ‘watch’, ‘listen’, and ‘read’ interchangeably, to refer to the concept of written material enjoyed in any format. That is why, for the purposes of this article, we will use the terms ‘audience’, ‘listener’, ‘viewer’, and ‘reader’ interchangeably to refer to the intended audience of your monologue. ![]() Definition of MonologueĪ monologue is a lengthy, uninterrupted speech, spoken by a single character in theatre plays, novels, movies, television, or essentially, any media that uses actors. Too often it feels like a clique-ishness gets developed where one user is only valuing the opinions of a smaller set (and then, at best it is navel-gazing at worst, rather offensive).Final Thoughts on How to Write a Monologue What Is a Monologue?įirstly, what exactly is a monologue? And what is its purpose? There are different types of monologue that you may wish to know about before deciding which kind you will write. I tend to find that there is something altogether exclusionary about Twitter when used this way. I'm sure many folks use it that way (and find it helpful). That is, one user posts a question for others to respond. *Note: over the past couple of years, many ed-tech users frequently praise Twitter as a means for isolated instructional technology specialists and/or "Educational Technologists" to communicate with each other. ![]() So, in the end, I won't argue that "you absolutely have to be on Twitter." But, what I will say is that it makes for an interesting window into others' monologues (be they interior or virtual). I won't bore you with a long exegesis as to why Twitter is important (I'm not sure it is) nor will I spend much time extolling the virtues of "the network".* What I will do is list some reasons that it is worth paying attention to with a link to a twitter feed (e.g. Or, rather, I pay attention to it and occasionally take advantage of it. I won't claim to be a Twitter-fanatic, but I use it. So, why am I writing this? Because of Twitter. Language barriers aside (I like to imagine he was speaking Esperanto) I was not close enough (nor creepy enough) to overhear what he was saying. For instance, some years ago in Rome, I recall seeing a young priest sitting on a bench (happily smoking a cigar) in a rather heated discourse, as a particularly memorable moment. Some of my fondest travel memories are of just that. Whether watching a young couple in love or a vendor haggling over a sale with a potential customer, it is always "strangely captivating" to observe others. Over the years I feel like I've met many a person who has told me that one of the things they most like about vacationing in someplace different is to be able to "people watch." And, I must confess, the idea of being in a sunny, foreign local alongside a busy avenue gazing out at passersby appeals to me, as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Volt pack contained 16 kWh of energy in the original 20 models. The 2015 Volt marks the second time Chevrolet has boosted the battery size in its range-extended electric car. Kelly declined to discuss any potential second-generation Volt, noting that it was company policy not to comment on future vehicles. Several Volt owners have suggested that while the rated range remains the same, 2015 Volt drivers may see a slight increase in real-world electric range over 20 models. It was "a late change done in the cell," he said, terming it "just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." Kevin Kelly, GM's manager of electrification technology communications, confirmed the larger battery size to Green Car Reports. (A Mile Per Gallon Equivalent, or MPGe, is the distance an electric vehicle can travel on the same amount of energy as contained in 1 gallon of gasoline.) If so, there are several manufactures like Husky Liners and WeatherTech (nice Super Bowl add) that provide five custom mats for Volt passengers and your cargo area.Rated electric range remains the same, however, at 38 miles.ĭON'T MISS: 2016 Chevrolet Volt To Launch Next Year: What We Know So FarĪnd the 2015 Volt's efficiency remains the same as well, at 98 MPGe.

If you do, and don't like to leave the rear windows slightly open, here is your answer. If you never roll down the windows, then you really don’t need this. The good news is that GM will make the upgrade for FREE. The fix was released as a bulletin, not a recall, so you might not be aware of this upgrade. ![]() This was primarily caused by the quest for ideal aerodynamics. Many cars today make an irritating buffeting wind noise when rolling down the windows, and the Volt is no exception. After they are finished, you still will have to take it to a GM dealer for programming at an approximate cost of $100.

While this is easily corrected for the video track without the need for reencoding, one consequence is that audio is not recorded. the output of Slow-Motion recording is not saved as being the original duration but is instead "stretched": for example, a one-second recording at 120 fps will be saved as being 4 seconds at 30 fps. Prior to official release, the Lumix FZ1000 was originally announced as being able to record slow-motion in the following resolutions and framerates: īut the firmware currently only allows to record FullHD at 120 fps.Īnother caveat to be aware of is that the device records slow motion (“high speed”) videos using the menial method, i.e. The second-highest speed does permanently record photos, but if the burst memory is full and the memory card cannot keep up, it will slow down automatically.

The only really new inclusions to Thongs of Virtue are a pirate ship you use to sail to a series of bite-sized islands Wind Waker style, and a selection of guns and bazookas. As with the first game, comedy is the backbone of DeathSpank. Boss fights are no more profound than the shallow combat elsewhere (button bashing ahoy) but the run-ins with the screwball bosses are all brimming with typical Hothead humour. With a distinct Lord of the Rings vibe, DeathSpank embarks on a hunt for the three evil thong wearers, culminating in an all-out assault on the North Pole. There are more boss fights this time – a feature tied to the narrative.

With blood-red skies and burned out tanks dotted between smouldering cities, it’s a far cry from the lush meadows and blue skies that formed the fabric of the first game.
