![]() To be fair, sure Claptrap has a funny tale in Tentacle DLC, and we have Krieg as the main focus in DLC 4, but I think it's just not enough - especially when they can't create the same level of goofiness using new characters. But, noooo… You guys won't see them enough in B元. While in B元, I am not sure what Gearbox is trying to do with its story.ĭo fans love Claptrap and Tiny Tina? Sure let's give them more spotlight in BL2. In BL2, it knows its strongest selling point - silly jokes and characters with a heartbreaking twist. I do think that the writers on BL2 are so much better than the writers on B元. The only new memorable character in B元 DLC is Burton Briggs from Tentacle (2nd) DLC. Sure I remember Timothy and Krieg, but they are in the previous games. How about the DLCs from B元? Even if I played it more recently, I have trouble remembering most characters from those DLCs. Mr Torgue (2nd) DLC? Well, who doesn't like Torgue? Hammerlock (3rd) DLC also has a funny main antagonist, especially if you remember the final battle.ī元 also fails to deliver a meaningful ending with its last DLC. Meanwhile, the last campaign DLC from BL2, Tiny Tina's, is one of the best DLCs I ever played - along with The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine. Captain Scarlett (1st) DLC gives Shanks and Herbert that always make me giggle every time I remember them. Lilith is made so weak deliberately in B元 when she is, in fact, should be the most powerful Vault Hunter.Īll DLCs from BL2 are memorable or, at least, offer funny characters in each part. Maya and Lilith's story in B元? Not so much. It's heartbreaking, yet Gearbox manages to deliver it delicately. The story of Angel and Roland in BL2 are remarkable. To be fair, Claptrap is my favourite character in the Borderlands franchise. In B元, Claptrap doesn't get enough spotlight. Still, on the main story of BL2, Claptrap is featured in most parts of the campaign. ![]() Gearbox fails to redeem Tyreen or Ava even after 4 DLCs. He is funny and annoying at the same time, which is not easy to create such a character.ī元? It has annoying characters. Let's dig deeper on each part of the game and compare it with BL2.įrom the base game, BL2 has Handsome Jack as a remarkable nemesis. Indeed, the previous game (BL: TPS) doesn't deliver an outstanding plot, but BL2 is amazing from a storytelling point of view. ![]() Last, before we go further, spoilers alert! I have 4 characters (Amara, Zane, Moze, and Fl4k) finished their main story campaign and reached the latest level cap (65). Nevertheless, I do appreciate Gearbox's best effort to keep updating B元.įor a justification in writing this opinion, I have finished all 4 DLCs and 2 Takedowns. Yet, sadly, it can't make me stay for a long time. When there is a new update, I play a little while. Despite my short time playing this game, I never uninstall it from my PC. It's not much I admit… Compared to POE 2: Deadfire, I play that game for more than 500 hours. I have been playing it for more than 300 hours (EPIC+Steam versions). ![]() That's why I want to revisit this game to look at its progress and result so far. Now, it has released all of its first Season Pass DLCs - since it will have a 2nd Season Pass. I wrote my review when the game was released a year ago. I play all of the games from BL1, BL2, BL: TPS, and B元. I have to say at the beginning that I am a huge fan of the Borderlands series. How B元 will decide the future of Borderlands series? ![]()

Messie is flushed back to Mock Mess Lake after Phil solves a puzzle in the Power Room, and Phil can now take his top hat. The game starts off with the four main children running through the sewers, being chased by Zone 5.1 agents.Riddle Transfer While using the creature communicator, he grants Phil the Power Room access card in a dialogue option. Evidently, this particular puzzle made it into the beginning of the current game. Jonathan's favorite puzzle in the game would have been one involving the word "Woof", an idea which was inspired by a suggestion by AbbyDrew. At the end of the game, Diz would have been captured, yet again, by Zone 5.1 and subsequently killed. Much like the first idea, production went to nearly a hault after the first room was created. Similar to RT 1, you would have had to try to find a way out of your cell. ![]() It would involve, not playing as Phil, but playing as Diz who had been recaptured by Zone 5.1. This original idea was scrapped for a better idea sparked by one of Jonathan's friends, Mr-Shark (who now goes by Krahs). Jonathan had planned some water level-changing puzzles and had a vague idea for the end of the game involving some beast being electrocuted by a toaster. The sewers didn't get much farther than the first room. In the first version, Riddle Transfer 2 was originally going to involve Phil, Zack, Phred, and Smiley escaping through a sewage system. ![]() He also felt a great amount of stress in making this game as he had underestimated the amount of time and effort that would have to go into it in order to make it satisfying for both him and his fans.Ĭome July 4, 2012, with a heavy heart, Jonathan decided to officially cancel Riddle Transfer 2 and the three games he had, at the time, planned to make afterwards. Especially with Jonathan learning a lot about character and game development, he felt the effort of this game wasn't worth the outcome. He felt himself drifting apart from his characters, all of which he had previously thought to be deep and interesting, only to be one-dimensional in reality. As time went on, he found the story of the original game was rather weak and would cause the series to go downhill dramatically. While only about a week was spent being put into creating the story of the series, Jonathan intended to put forth years of work into this game. The original production of this game began shortly after Riddle Transfer. It was published on Newgrounds on May 25, 2016, the date of Riddle School's 10 year anniversary. Riddle Transfer 2 is the final installment in the Riddle School series. ![]() ![]() ![]() The top of the case has a sound dampening cover that can be swapped out for mesh if you need extra air, and the front panel's dampening cover opens on hinges.Īdding the quiet nature of the case are two Cooler Master Silencio 120mm fans that run quietly and without rattle. The magic is in the special sound dampening material (like foam and vinyl) installed with all side panels. ![]() Cooler Master's Silencio S400 is designed from the ground up to dampen sound, but it still allows for decent airflow. Powerful gaming PCs generally create a generous amount of sound, but that doesn't mean you need to sit and listen to it while you play. Might not be enough airflow for some builds Best quiet case: Cooler Master Silencio S400 If you want a case with great airflow and have some extra money to spend, this should be a great choice. The front of the case has two USB-A 3.2 (Gen 1), two USB-A 2.0, 3.5mm audio and mic jacks, and the ARGB controller. Ports are rather generous despite a lack of USB-C. Otherwise you're looking at dual 200mm fans for the top. The front of the case will fit up to a 360mm radiator if you decide to not use the built-in fans, and the top will also fit up to a 360mm rad. ![]() This is a mid-tower, but it will fit an E-ATX build with some limited cable management if you decide to go that big. There's also room for four storage drives. If you'd like to get fancy with your GPU, seven horizontal PCI slots are joined by two vertical PCI slots. The top of the case is transparent, while the side tempered glass gives a clear view of the internal hardware. There's also a pre-installed 140mm fan at the back of the case for exhaust. It comes with a steel mesh front panel (with filter) to allow air in unimpeded, backed by two huge 200mm fans with addressable RGB lighting. However, something like the Cooler Master H500P Mesh with ARGB fans takes things to the next level. If you're going with radiators instead, you can fit up to a 420mm in the front, 360mm along the top, and 240mm along the bottom.Īirflow is important in any PC build, and most cases (if they're worth their price) will do a decent job of keeping parts cool. There's room at the front and top for up to three 140mm fans, as well as two 140mm fans on the bottom. The case comes with two 140mm fans up front and one 140mm fan at the back. Cooler Master calls the three orientations regular, chimney, and inverted, and each has a completely different look through the tempered glass side panel. Getting inside, the case has three configurable layouts thanks to completely removable parts. The case has built-in RGB lighting on the top and bottom, controllable on its own or capable of syncing up with other systems. It even has a couple of handles on top for easier carrying it isn't light or compact. It's a high-end full tower with space for up to an E-ATX build, and it's made up primarily of aluminum, steel and glass.

Then, click “Create Bibliography from Item(s),” and a box will pop up with formatting specifications. Once you have your references inputted and want to create citations or a bibliography, you can highlight the reference(s) you wish to export and right click on them. The “Add Item(s) by Identifier” button allows you to quickly add references by their DOI or ISBN numbers Anyone who was shared in that folder could drop a reference in, and it would be viewable to everyone else in the group immediately. In my case, I used these folders to store references when writing the biomaterials review papers because it allowed the co-authors to have access to all the references in our papers. ![]() Under the “Group Libraries” tab, this will show all folders that are shared with other people. You can also make subfolders within this tab to organize your different topics or projects. Under the “My Library” tab, this will show everything that you have saved to your computer. So, you have Zotero downloaded, but now what? To start using Zotero, you should first be aware of the different folders that Zotero has. Zotero will do that automatically for you, which can save you a lot of time. In my opinion, one of the best parts of using a citation manager is that if you are using numerical references or footnotes, you don’t have to manually renumber them every time you add or delete a citation. For Microsoft Word, Zotero is great for quickly creating bibliographies and in-text citations. Over the summer, I found it really helpful to have it in my browser because the web plugin can create a citation from any webpage by collecting relevant information such as the author, date, and title of the site. Once you have it downloaded, you can choose to also install it as a plugin to your browser (I recommend using Chrome for this) and also in Microsoft Word. The first step to using Zotero is to download the application online. However, take a look at this previous post on using Mendeley if you want to learn more about that. In this post, I put together a guide for using reference managers, specifically Zotero because I am most familiar with it. I would highly recommend using a reference manager for longer projects or papers, such as for junior independent work or senior theses, because it helps with organization and saves you time when adding references. Both of these papers had around 120 references, making a reference manager like Zotero an essential tool for keeping track of all the citations. I first started using Zotero during my summer internship when I was writing two biomaterials review papers, which I mentioned in my last post. This is where Zotero or Mendeley can help out. However, it can be cumbersome to manage all the references at once, especially when writing papers that have a seemingly never-ending list of references. Before this summer, I had never heard of Zotero, Mendeley, or any reference management applications, and instead, I usually turned to APA or MLA style guidelines and did my citations by hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() All possible support you get from the developer in the form of freshly updated version is a must for a good sync tool.
