![]() And this, in turn, meant that I could learn important mechanics at my own pace, including how to parry to the beat. Approaching the title in bite-size segments did make me genuinely excited to return to the game after a day or two away. Does the concept feel fulfilling though? Well, yes and no. This comes down to each of the Hi-Fi Rush chapters or tracks varying in length depending on how much you explore. If you want to revisit areas or collect everything, you will likely spend about 15-20 hours playing. Hi-Fi RUSH - Korsica Boss Fight Gameplay Walkthrough Full Game No Commentary PlayStation 5 (PS5), XBOX or PC in 4K & 1080 HD 60 Fps (2021).all bosses, endin. Few other games on the market plug the gap for an accessible rhythm adventurer that doesn’t rely heavily on skill to feel fun. Hi-Fi Rush looks to be about 8-12 hours long for a story-focused playthrough. The gameplay concept for Hi-Fi Rush is very needed. ![]() Perhaps this would be a possible idea for post-release DLC or future sequels. There are never any any opportunities to play as any character other than Chai is offered, and I found myself longing to wield Peppermint’s guns or have the chance ignite the battlefield as an unnamed character that I’m not going to spoil here. It’s a message we can all agree with, (except perhaps for Kale Vandelay), but the unadventurous, (if polished), gameplay doesn’t quite deliver what Tango Softworks is aiming for. The soundtrack does fall flat sometimes, with the story’s strong anti-capitalist message perhaps better fitting to punk music or just presented with a grittier overall style. Kale Vandelay, the big boss man, seems to have a particularly interesting goal of using those robotic limbs and manufactured implants to control their user’s minds. Traversing through Vandelay Technologies, each area tells an unfolding story of how it began by manufacturing robotic limbs and evolved into selling robots. All the while, the animated environment is bopping away to the beat, with lampposts, machinery, and trees all bouncing in time which simultaneously helps the player to ensure their button-mashing hits the beat too.Ĭhai himself contributes to the comic book stereotype, snapping his fingers and quipping about the music from time to time. ![]() The game drip feeds information to the player, with the road to each boss battle teaching new skills and combat styles – such as a useful parry that allows for an immediate super strong retaliation as well as minigames that work in a “Simon Says” format. Hi-Fi Rush gets off to a high-octane start, with a lot of activity both in the story and in the linear stages that follow.

![]() His plus-6 margin of BTTs to TWPs when under pressure was the best in the NFL. On the other hand, he had the eighth-most TWPs when under pressure (13), which isn’t bad at all compared to his BTT total. When you look at Allen’s statistical breakdowns when under pressure and not, you find some interesting contrasts.Īllen had an NFL-high 19 BTTs when under pressure, and his 9.1% BTT percentage under pressure was the best mark among quarterbacks. Mistakes when contained in a clean pocket Perhaps playing with a spy mentality will do better against Allen, especially since he is so good at avoiding pressure.Įnter: Meet & Greet Wayne Chrebet Virtually Although you do not normally associate batted balls with a quarterback who is 6-foot-5, clearly there is something to be said for getting in his throwing lanes. His 10.6% rate was the lowest in the NFL, which concurs with the eye test: Allen is extremely difficult to bring down.Īllen had 16 passes batted at the line last season, the second-most in the NFL. One thing that makes Allen really scary is his pressure-to-sack percentage, meaning the rate at which pressures against him are converted into actual QB takedowns. However, the fact remains that Allen did put the ball in harm’s way more often than most elite quarterbacks do. It’s hard to make such an argument about a guy who threw 36 touchdowns. This shows that his overall play, accounting for situation and defense, was pedestrian. While Allen did throw 15 interceptions, his total of 26 TWPs means there were 11 other plays on which he got lucky.Īllen’s DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, measuring a player’s positional and situational value in a season while adjusting for opponent) was 4.9%, ranking 15th among quarterbacks. Against gunslingers, there is one big key: turn those turnover-worthy plays into turnovers. This means that although Allen will make the throws to burn a team, he will also put the ball in harm’s way.Īllen is a gunslinger. Still, he was third among all QBs with 26 turnover-worthy plays (TWPs). What are the flaws in Allen’s game, and how can the Jets exploit them this season? Josh Allen’s biggest weaknesses Turnover-worthy playsĪllen tied for sixth in the league among quarterbacks with a 5.7% big-time throw (BTT) percentage in 2021, per PFF. This was another step back for Allen compared to 2020, when he placed third with a 76.6 QBR. QBR is ESPN’s quarterback rating metric based largely on Expected Points Added, which measures how a quarterback did on each play compared with what can be historically expected. His 92.3 rushing grade ranked first (with Zach Wilson right behind him, ranking fourth at 86.8).Ĭompare these numbers to 2020, when Allen had an 89.8 passing grade (5th) and a 74.3 rushing grade (11th).Īllen’s passing took a small step back in 2021 compared to 2020, which went mostly under the radar.ĮSPN also had Allen graded sixth among QBs with a 60.7 QBR. While that is clearly a Pro Bowl-level performance, it is interesting to note that his passing grade was 77.5 still good but down to 11th in the league. Allen had some “wow” games, such as his two playoff appearances, but he also had some real duds (Jacksonville, Indy, Miami, Carolina, Atlanta).Īllen ranked sixth in the NFL last season among qualifying QBs with a Pro Football Focus grade of 86.6. Their defense could not stop Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs, even with 13 seconds to go. They went 11-6, needing a four-game winning streak at the end of the season to pull out the division crown. Still, the Bills showed last year that they are beatable. This is a team in which it’s hard to find flaws. ![]() Future Hall of Famer Von Miller picks up the pass rush, fresh off a playoff run in which he terrorized opponents. Not only do they have the dual-threat Allen at QB, but they back him with a defense that ranked first in the league last season and a running game that added an enticing back in James Cook during the 2022 draft.Ĭornerback Tre’Davious White returns to the best secondary in the NFL. ![]() It is no surprise, then, that the Bills are the odds-on favorites to go to the Super Bowl in a stacked AFC. After a slow start to his career, Allen has exploded onto the scene to become one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The Buffalo Bills star beats you in all different ways, possessing a cannon of an arm and the ability to run all over the field. Josh Allen is the gold standard for the new brand of quarterback. Things went from very bad to just as bad, though: a new beast has stepped up in the division, one who is every bit as scary as Brady. Well, Brady still has not retired (not for long, anyway), but he’s out of the Jets’ hair. During that time, the mantra was, “When will Brady retire?” This is how they can finally beat him.įor two decades, the New York Jets languished in the misfortune of playing in the same division as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. The New York Jets are 0-4 against Josh Allen since his breakout in 2020. ![]() ![]() Molded parts needing PEEK overmolding or insert molding technologies are also possible.įor precise molded PEEK parts, it is of paramount importance to ensure the PEEK polymer is optimally dried prior to molding. It is also through highly integrated control technology that we guarantee a stable process at all times resulting in components with the highest precision and exacting tolerances. Through optimal processing and mold tempering, we create the necessary semi-crystalline part that fully exploits the unique properties of PEEK. Our injection molding technology is also economical in small and medium lot sizes. We produce PEEK molded parts with the highest reliability and quality meeting various industry standards. Generally, the precision of injection molding for PEEK products can reach about 0.1mm, and the precision can be controlled at about 0.015mm according to the different wall thickness and structure of the products.Our injection molding machines and tools are specially designed for processing PEEK and other high-performance plastics. After molding, the injection screw should be cleaned quickly with PP material in time, and PEEK material should not stay in the screw. The injection pressure should be 100~130MPa and the injection speed should be 40~80. When setting the screw speed, the speed should not be too fast. It is best to find a manufacturer specializing in PEEK injection molding to avoid certain technical risks. It is different from ordinary injection molding to some extent. Peek material has a high melting temperature and a high viscosity in the melting state, which requires higher pressure and greater wear on the screw during injection. PEEK belongs to high temperature special engineering plastics, the mold temperature is 140~180, the melt temperature should be maintained at 320~390 degrees, so it is required that the heating section of the injection molding machine can provide more than 350 degrees of heating temperature. ![]() PEEK resin can also withstand up to 3000 cycles of autoclaving at 134 ° C, which makes it suitable for the manufacture of highly sterilized surgical and dental equipment requiring repeated use. In the semiconductor industry, It is commonly used to manufacture wafer bearers, electronic insulating films and various connection devices.Īs a semi-crystalline engineering plastic, PEEK is insoluble in almost all solvents except concentrated sulfuric acid, so it is commonly used to make compressor valve plates, piston rings, seals and various chemical pump bodies and valve parts. Therefore, the electronic information field has gradually become the second largest application field of PEEK resin, manufacturing pipes, valves and pumps for conveying ultra-pure water. PEEK resin is an ideal electrical insulator and can maintain good electrical insulation performance under harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and high humidity. Bearings, gaskets, seals, clutch rings and other parts manufactured by PEEK are widely used in automobile transmission, brake and air conditioning systems. In the automotive industry, PEEK resin has good friction resistance and mechanical properties, and is used as the raw material for manufacturing engine inner cover. PEEK resin was first applied in the aerospace field, replacing aluminum and other metal materials to manufacture various aircraft parts. PEEK application and Medical PEEK application parts with high mechanical strength requirements.wear resistance, antistatic electrical insulation performance is good.light weight to replace metal optical fiber components.hydrolysis resistance, high temperature and high pressure can still maintain excellent characteristics.irradiation resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance conditions.dimensions require precision conditions.high temperature, high frequency and high voltage performance conditions.SeaskyMedical use PEEK for both micro and large medical plastic parts manufacture. It can be manufactured and processed into various mechanical parts. Peek is a kind of special engineering plastics with excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, self-lubrication, easy machining and high mechanical strength. PEEK is together with PPS, PSU, PI, PAR and LCP as special engineering resin. ![]() This is a natural edge control that is more gel-like.

An excellent formulation will be non-greasy, non-flaky, non-sticky with no build up and with easy wash out.Įdge control is very popular for textured hair, curly, coils and kinky hair. It should be anti-humectant, not contain high amounts of humectants that can cause curl back, especially with humid weather and sweat. It also needs to provide long lasting hold with no curl back. The main purpose of it is to control the delicate hair (some call baby hairs) at the hairline and keep it smooth and laid down and sculpt the hair. It’s basically a viscous gel providing firm hold. Gorilla snot also catches a little heat from some women for having alot of chemicals.Edge control is a hair care styling product. They have various different lines of this edge control gel, the one with the strongest hold is the “PUNK EXTREME” line.ĬONS: It does tend to get a little gunky and builds up after too many days so it is best to wash it out of your edges after you bathe at night. It is great for very kinky 4C coarse hair. It's very thick, and that's the best part because it lays your hair down as if it were glue. The name of this #4 best edge control for coarse hair may not sound appealing, but many naturalistas with coarse 4C natural hair cannot live without this stuff. #4 - Gorilla Snot: Best Edge Control Gels for 4C Hair & Slicking Down So even though this might make your forehead feel a little bit stiff because of its extreme hold, it makes your hair look amazing, it's a great buy. It works great even in hot weather when you might suffer from a lot of sweating.ĬONS: One of the only downsides to this product is that sometimes it will leave your hair a little white because of the drying and flaking, but the solution is to simply apply a little bit of oil and you'll be good.

How to Tell How Old Your Windows 10 PC Is Write it down or take a quick digital photo. You may also need the serial number again in the future, and forgetting to put the sticker back will cause you to potentially lose it. ![]() Many manufacturers will void your warranty if the serial number sticker is removed. This is handy if you wish to upgrade individual parts and not replace the entirety of the computer.ĭo note that you should never remove the serial number sticker to try and record the code. This process can also be used to identify the manufacturing date of the individual parts if the computer was built from scratch. You can then head to the manufacturer’s website to see if you can identify the manufacturing date of the computer from the serial number. If you can find the serial number or the QR Code of your computer, write it down or scan the QR Code. If a date isn’t clearly indicated, the serial number in itself may contain a code to the manufacturing date. ![]() Usually, these dates are placed in the serial number sticker, as the serial number also immediately identifies the model and make of the machine. This helps in identifying the batch of the computer coming out of the factory, which can be matched to any known defects in the batch. Most, if not all computer producers will have the dates of their component’s manufacture somewhere on the exterior of the machine. Unless you build a computer from the ground up using components bought separately, the entire machine usually has the same manufacturing dates. ![]() Checking the Serial Numbers and Manufacturer’s Stickers If you want to know how to tell how old your computer is, we’ll give you some of the easiest ways, no matter what platform you’re on. ![]() ![]() I’m personally under the impression that people aren’t usually using modded controllers in a traditional sense, but are in fact using a device called the Cronus Zen, or its older version, the CronusMax. The community has jumped all over this, and people are running to different resources to try and find these controllers. What we’ve seen in the last couple days have been various videos and clips of people using what has been perpetrated as modded controllers. That being said, I do have a good understanding of various areas in technology, telecommunications and the internet. I’m going to start by stating that I’m not a game developer, IT mastermind or know-it-all. “Perfect” green releases were able to be accomplished with the shot timing before this as well, but the new aiming method has put a whole new focus on the problem. And I say this is a “new” discovery because this NBA 2K21 modded controller mess is only new in the sense that it’s getting more attention. Some players are being accused of using modded controllers or the Cronus Zen device, which apparently allows players to consistently hit green lights. ![]() To add to the fun (or annoyance) of shooting, is a “new” discovery that has been exposed by and within the 2K community.

![]() Hsu was about the same age as Soo-Yung when the first Rush Hour came out in 1998. In classic comedy-caper fashion, the fiesty Soo-Yung turns out to be way more than the kidnappers can handle. Shortly after the film begins, she's on the way to school - singing along to Mariah Carey's "Fantasy" in the back seat of a car - when she's kidnapped by the Hong Kong crime lord Juntao (Tom Wilkinson), which sets the plot in motion. She played Soo-Yung Han, the 11-year-old daughter of the Chinese consul in Los Angeles. Her first film appearance was one of the lead roles in the first Rush Hour film alongside Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. For those who still enjoy the formula, "Rush Hour 3" will suit fine but here's a vote for letting Lee and Carter dance into the sunset, having sung their last chorus.Julia Hsu is one former child actor whom fans of the Rush Hour series may be wondering about. They bicker, they banter, they perform some scary stunts (parachuting off the Eiffel Tower with a French flag is, admittedly, kind of cool), they encounter some scary women, and they shoot people, almost as if going through a checklist. ("The guns, the shooting - now I understand what it means to be an American!" he says, eyes shining.) An odd cameo by Roman Polanski, as a French police inspector who gives Lee and Carter a less-than-warm welcome, is less effective.īut it's the chemistry between Chan and Tucker that takes center stage, and it's just not fresh enough to sustain the film. ![]() (First guy: "I am Yu." Tucker: "You're me?" Another guy: "I am Mi." Repeat, almost endlessly.) In Paris, Chan makes a nightclub entrance perched on a swing, goofily reminiscent of Nicole Kidman in "Moulin Rouge."įrench actor Yvan Attal ("My Wife Is an Actress") is a welcome presence as George, a cabbie who initially says he hates Americans but quickly becomes caught up in Lee and Carter's milieu. Visiting a martial-arts studio in L.A., Tucker gets caught up in a who's-on-first routine that's so ancient you can practically see the dust fly, but it works. Starting in Los Angeles, six years after the events of the previous film, the action moves to Paris, where Lee and Carter make their way through crowded streets, exotic gentlemen's clubs, and of course the Eiffel Tower, where the movie's climactic action sequences take place.Ĭhan and Tucker were an oddly inspired pairing the first time around - one underacts, one overacts, and it all seems to balance out somehow - and the new movie does contain a few funny moments. and kidnapped his daughter (Zhang Jingchu). Chinese Chief Inspector Lee (Chan) and LAPD detective James Carter (Tucker) again team up - reluctantly, on Lee's part - to battle a Chinese organized crime syndicate, which has shot a Chinese ambassador in the U.S. You know that Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker will sing "War, What Is It Good For" at some point that Tucker will squawk out his lines in that patented falsetto that Chan will climb walls and jump off buildings and look vaguely embarrassed that the good guys will prevail and that many scenes will take place in heavy traffic.Īnd, indeed, all of this comes to pass in "Rush Hour 3," the latest installment in Ratner's popular yet increasingly out-of-gas action/comedy franchise. Some movie franchises, like the "Harry Potter" series, grow and change before our eyes some, like Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour" movies, stay resolutely the same. ![]() Of Kells to heart were subverting the centralized power of the CatholicĬhurch, located in Rome for centuries.
