![]() The latest offering is Super Sports Heads Gold, a game that hopes to take the outrageous giant-headed format of previous Sports Heads game and throw in a variety of different game modes. You could turn to console games but these are expensive, and why would anyone spend large amounts of money when they can turn to the famous Sports Heads series from Mousebreaker, which simulates quick-fire football in a distinctive arcade-style fashion. It seems that lots of people simply cannot get enough football however and turn to video games to bridge that gap that apparently still exists in spite of international football being played in Brazil right now. With the 2014 World Cup in full swing, you would think that there is enough football about to keep everyone satisfied, no matter what level of football fan they are. The amusing set of achievements also adds a little bit more replay value to a game that is already hugely addictive and visually superior to any other game of its type out there. Even the player names have names that are a play on actual names of footballers, such as ‘Wine Rooney’ and ‘Peely’. It should keep you entertained for a good half and hour, and the amusing, caricature-like appearance of the their gigantic heads should have you amused for the entire time. ![]() The game alternates between time-restricted matches and also score-based ones that end once a minimum number of goals have been scored. You use the directional arrows of left and right to control the player’s movement, the upwards arrow to make him jump, and the spacebar to make him kick the ball when it is within range. The gameplay involves taking control of a single player that is made up of just a head and a foot and is set up in a tennis-like format whereby you and your opponent stand on opposite ends of a miniature football field in an attempt to direct the ball into the opposing player’s net. Sports Heads: Football like the tennis edition of the game here takes a noticeable different approach, boiling the game of football down to its most essential elements: headers, kicking, and scoring goals, and like the many other games in the Sports Heads series, it is hugely entertaining. Many games concentrate solely on the free kick aspect of the sport, whereas others like New Star Soccer or Jumpers for Goalposts tend to offer a mixture of management and match-play features in an RPG-style version of the popular sport. The sheer variety of different football games available on the flash game market is quite remarkable though. ![]() Many similar games have been spawned since on the web and on mobile. Controlling the head you have to head to football into the other persons goal while using power ups. The idea of a couple of cheaply named big headed, limbless, funny faced players heading a ball in either goal being popular amoungst footy fans sounds unreal, but it's actually true and well executed by a popular game dev studio known as Mousebreaker.

Working From Top to Bottom is the best idea when tone mapping an image.I have never met an HDR image that deserved a Surreal+ slap in the face! Let’s face it, having 11 increments (and more) on one slider is more forgiving than 5 quick adjustments (Natural, Natural+, Medium, Surreal, and Surreal+). The Lighting Effects Mode is not nearly as powerful as the Lighting Adjustments Slider.A preset can be used as a baseline, but very rarely do they make a ‘one and done’ image. Dynamic Range changes drastically from one image to the next. Presets are not always the best option.Let me reiterate, these are not ‘rules’… they are tips… please don’t throw tomatoes at me and call me a Communist! I know I discuss these things in a lot of my videos, some are here, some are there, but here they are in one concise video rather than all over the place. I rattled the peas around in my head and came up with 5 tips for tone mapping in Photomatix Pro. “Are there some set rules to HDR & Photography?”īut after answering, “No” to all of those questions (especially the last one) I began to think about ways that I could have addressed that video a little better.However, that conversation had me thinking all week long about the video I had created 2 years ago. Somehow a God complex got discussed as well as some form of communism and that is where I stopped commenting back!

PhotoshopWorld.Making great images with Photomatix Pro 5Ī few years ago I used Photomatix Pro to made a YouTube tutorial called Over Saturated HDR Crap!

Here’s wishing you at least a semi-realistic day! □ …instead, try to mentally replace it with this HDR image (below): So, what I guess I’m asking is the next time you hear the term HDR, and you immediately conjure up something like this HDR image… I’d love to see us see HDR as an awesome tool that makes our photos more realistic, with a wider range of editing available to us without adding noise and damaging the image. I’m hoping that the more people try Lightroom’s built-in HDR, the more they’ll realize the benefits of that expanded tonal range (like we talked about here last Friday), and that at some point we’ll get past the past. I know that today, every time someone does one of those over-the-top HDR images, God kills a kitten, but that’s not enough. I’d love to see us get to a place where when we mention HDR it doesn’t automatically elicit a negative response from photographers. If we manage to make the scene look even better, then even better. Landscapes, interiors, architecture, and many more genres will have us doing less heavy lifting to make the image we see on screen looks like the image our eyes saw in person. It’s the shot of a cathedral where the stained glass windows are no longer blown out to solid white, but have their full color, depth, and dimension. Now it’s back to what I think it was first intended to be, which is a way for us to have our cameras capture and record a wider tonal range than today’s sensor’s can manage. That’s because they’re picturing that overly vibrant, Harry-Potter- esque look so many found an affront to good taste, honest living, and all we hold sacred as photographers. The Damage Has Been DoneĪs a presenter teaching live seminars, when I say the word “HDR” in front of a crowd of photographers, the image at the top of this post is what instantly pops up in photographer’s minds, and you can literally see people in the crowd making faces like they’re smelling the inside of a wooden leg. Just remember just because the preset is there, doesn’t mean you have to cllick it). Today, HDR (processed in Lightroom) looks like this (below):Įven Photomatix Pro 6 now has a bunch of presets that look more realistic and normal (though sadly they did keep some presets like the one you see up top, and worse, so -5 points on them. I had to go download a trial copy of Photomatix Pro 6 to get this classic look (ahem), that we saw so often at the birth of HDR photography. Remember when HDR images all pretty much looked like this? If a developer posts an incorrect Versiontracker or MacUpdate badge he or she will be asked to pull the badge down immediately. They allow developers to display user ratings badges on their sites like this: In any case, these three sites don’t hand out prizes. In the end, after some comments being pulled and the tempest in a teapot rising higher Nate finally intervened and put the review back online and warned off the developer. One developer had friends inside Macupdate whom he tried to use to censor commentary ( Misha, I believe). Even I’m aghast at some of the things I read on Macupdate in particular (Nate, for the most part, please keep them up, following the profiles of some of these curmudgeons is incredibly entertaining and keeps people coming back to Macupdate). The ratings and comments on all three are legitimate and minimally censored in favour of the developers.

Also, “Mtn” isn’t even how you abbreviate the word “mountain.” It is an egalitarian system of suckiness, wherein even the best variant of Mtn Dew is still just Mtn Dew. They are almost all equally bad, and half of them are the same drink. I have listed the flavors in no particular order because there is no ranking system here. The focus groups for these products consisted of a cardboard cut out of Randy “Macho-Man” Savage and a beer koozie that says “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Titties”. What followed was a journey deep into beverage purgatory, a strange sort of limbo where things taste like nothing but sugar, occasionally like bubble gum, and invariably like defeat. My husband takes a sip and realizes: he has never tried Mtn Dew. I try to understand what would propel someone to buy a stale, questionably-stored bottle of Mtn Dew from eBay. Other fans weigh in, inquiring where to purchase rarer bottles. Meticulously arranged, some have been custom made, because the beverages in question are only available in fountain drinks. I stare at a picture taken in someone’s wood paneled basement, in a subreddit specifically for Mtn Dew enthusiasts (because the internet, for all its faults, has guaranteed us this: no matter how esoteric our passions, we need never feel alone). ![]() Fans of the drink post photos of their collections online, bottles and cans in a Lisa Frank array of hues. Mtn Dew has a following so devoted it makes Catholicism seem like a casual hobby. What I’m saying is that this project has ruined me. If someone can name more than three flavors of Mtn Dew off the top of their head, they probably aren’t fit to live in society. You are probably saying to yourself, “I did not know so many flavors of Mtn Dew existed.” That is a reasonable response. What is going on with the fish?

Sometimes, you need to be reminded that your body is still yours, and that you can do with it what you want, no matter what anyone else says.

Kindle Textbook Creator Pros & Cons (and Tutorial for how to Optimize it).You can find a discussion of the pros and cons of using this tool, and tutorials for how to use the Kindle Textbook Creator and the Kindle Kids’ Book Creator (both are free tools available straight from Amazon) at the following links (to my detailed free “how to” articles): The Kindle Textbook Creator isn’t ideal for “all” types of e-books.

Secondly, if it doesn’t generate in a couple of weeks, you can place a request through support. First of all, there can be delays of weeks in generating a Look Inside regardless of how you publish there is some luck involved in the timing. Just because it can be done and it has be done, doesn’t mean it automatically will be done. Let me emphasize the word “can,” and this word may also apply for the Kindle Textbook Creator. I’ve heard reports from authors who use the Kindle Kids’ Book Creator that a Look Inside can now generate for those, too. Most of my older e-books published using the Kindle Textbook Creator still don’t show a Look Inside for the Kindle edition, but I expect this feature to roll out over the course of the coming weeks. (This book doesn’t have a print edition, nor does it have an ISBN-it just has the free ASIN assigned by Amazon.) ![]() However, the e-book I published yesterday generated its own Kindle Look Inside automatically. (Though it was always possible to place a request so that the print Look Inside would show in its place.) In the past, I’ve always been informed by KDP that e-books produced using the Kindle Textbook Creator won’t generate a Look Inside.
