    Complete Arcade Combo Guide Revision 1.2 October 11, 2009 _____________________________________________________________________ Author: ded Best viewed at 1280x1024 Everything works in 1.0 and 1.1 Revisions of UMK3 too, but for sure some stuff don't work on Wavenet version. It was released in Chicago area, and used T1 LAN connection for multi player game. One outlet that stocked it still has the T1 line used for it installed. This version included extras that were available even in local play. One of the reasons this version wasn't widely adopted was the rarity and cost of T1 lines at the time. The game was released before alternative broadband access was available. At the time, a T1 was the only guaranteed way to get broadband into an arcade, but the game didn't utilize the full bandwidth of the T1. Midway subsidized the cost of the line during the tests to make it more attractive to the arcade owners. Some gameplay changes were made too. The most famous stuff was that you could play as Noob Saibot using Human Smoke code by picking Kano. He had his MK Trilogy Teleport move and Human Smoke's combos. Kabal had a pause put in for his spin and a flash, Ermac's TKS move had larger range, Lao's Spin was disabled after 3 hits, and Stryker's Gun was disabled after 5 hits. ________________________________________01________________________________________ I.

  • Addio Milva, Rossa Tra Microfoni E Lustrini
    Addio Milva, rossa tra microfoni e lustrini - Stefano Crippa, 25.04.2021 Icone. Voce possente ma dalle modulazioni infinite, la morte a 81 anni dell’artista che mise a braccetto cultura e pop Cascata di capelli rossi, mises elegantissime, sguardo penetrante che infiamma la platea: non si poteva resistere alla cantante di Goro – Milva – scomparsa ieri a ottantun anni dopo un ritiro decennale a vita privata per motivi di salute. Voce possente ma dalle modulazioni infinite, capace allo stesso tempo di passare dalle ardite sperimentazioni di un’opera di Berio alle pieghe della Storia racchiusa nei capolavori brechtiani lasciandosi scivolare addosso partiture pop con lo stesso immutato entusiasmo. Poche, pochissime artiste hanno saputo reggere palcoscenici tanto diversi – La Scala, l’Olympia, Carnegie Hall, Studio Uno – con tanta padronanza. Ecco, con Milva l’irrequietezza della ricerca tout court e l’afflato popolare andavano a braccetto senza che mai sembrasse una forzatura: Piazzolla e Amalia Rodriguez, Berio come un malizioso brano dei Pooh («Hai le braghe che scoppiano…», Uomini addosso, 1993). L’ascoltavi prodursi nell’Opera da tre soldi e la stessa emozione la metteva sul palco del festival di Sanremo, frequentato per ben quindici volte – un record tuttora imbattuto – ma senza che mai riuscisse a vincerlo, come lei stessa ricordava prendendosi in giro con garbata ironia. LA DEFINIZIONE più bella dell’arte e delle doti artistiche di Milva l’ha data Enzo Jannacci, che le ha cucito addosso nel 1980 un vero e proprio manifesto musicale e esistenziale: La Rossa – album di rivisitazioni dove l’interprete di Goro sostituisce al canto sgangherato dell’autore il suo contralto profondo e passionale.

Soprannominata “La Rossa” per la sua celebre chioma, all’anagrafe Maria Ilva Biolcati, era nata a Goro, in provincia di Ferrara, il 17 luglio 1939. In sessanta anni di carriera ha conquistato tutti con la sua voce eccezionale e con quella eleganza propria delle artiste con la A maiuscola. Cantante e attrice teatrale, ha debuttato al Festival di Sanremo nel 1961 arrivando al terzo posto con la canzone “Il mare nel cassetto”. Nello stesso anno ha esordito al cinema con il film “La bellezza d’Ippolita”, al fianco di Gina Lollobrigida. Nel 1962 invece è stata protagonista della prima tournée all’estero, riscuotendo un enorme successo e arrivando ad esibirsi sul palcoscenico dell’Olimpia di Parigi. MUSICA| 3 Parallelamente alla musica Milva nel 1965 ha iniziato a lavorare in teatro con Giorgio Strehler, interpretando magistralmente diverse opere di Brecht. Si è esibita con concerti e spettacoli in Germania, Francia, Giappone, Corea del Sud, Grecia, Spagna e Sudamerica, ha lavorato con poeti come Eleftheriou, Livaditis, Kampanelis e Theodorakis, con il compositore Luciano Berio, che le ha affidato un ruolo di primo piano nella sua opera “La Vera Storia” che ebbe un grandissimo successo in Italia e in Europa.

  • Mortal Kombat: Guts, Girls, and Gore Jonathan Gros March 8, 2020 Mortal Kombat, a Fighting Game Series Well-Known for Its Focus
    Mortal Kombat: Guts, Girls, and Gore Jonathan Gros March 8, 2020 Mortal Kombat, a fighting game series well-known for its focus on gory and brutal deaths and fatalities, is experiencing a shift in its ideals and executions of character designs. When people normally hear about Mortal Kombat, the first thing that usually comes to mind is extreme violence and women fighters in skimpy clothing.1 NetherRealm studio, who currently develops the series, is trying to get past this way of thinking. The two most recent titles in the series, Mortal Kombat X (2015) and Mortal Kombat 11 (2019) have started a new shift into the feminist territory. These particular titles have introduced women fighters in a more “realistic” style in character design, and the female characters in these games have had a larger impact in the story than previous titles. Kronika sets into motion events that would never transpire without her actions. The introduction of Kronika into the Mortal Kombat series creates a shift in power in which empowered female characters have greater influence on plot and lore than previously; due to this, Mortal Kombat 11 focuses on female power, which ultimately gives the series a fresh start and the freedom to focus on female characters, as opposed to the traditional male gaze- dominated route the series has taken in the past. The male gaze is a theory that often is accused of being prominent in the Mortal Kombat series. This theory is all about the male perspective: The Male Gaze is a term from Gaze theory that describes the tendency of works to assume a male viewpoint even when they do not have a specific narrative Point of View, and in particular 1 The first Mortal Kombat game was responsible for the parental rating system ESRB.

  • MONTEBRUNA and PAOLO CONTE
    MONTEBRUNA and PAOLO CONTE The poetic soul, spiritually French, of Paolo Conte and the pioneering nature of Giuseppe and Raffaella Bologna, Giacomo Bologna’s sons, the creator of Braida Winery, have teamed up for Montebruna wine. The Barbera d'Asti 2013 Montebruna has, indeed, on the back label a Paolo Conte’s poem: precious words that weave in a link among Piedmontese landscape, the river and vineyards in a final toast. The Bologna family conceived in 2001 this unique initiative, that moves from a desire to tell, through one of the highest expressions of the soul as is poetry, the emotions that the wine can awaken. To achieve this goal the Bolognas call on, then as now, to authors who, through their art, celebrate the essence of life. The musician and songwriter Bruno Lauzi in 2001, comedian and writer Giorgio Faletti in 2003, Roby Facchinetti of Pooh in 2005, in 2008 Omar Pedrini and now Paolo Conte. They wrote a poem, to offer the treasures of the heart arising from a personal encounter with Montebruna and its wine. The story between us began like this ….. with his initial words …. Montebruna Land of roses, land of wine Before we go any further, it’s got to be said: here, where gorgeous roses grow, we’re in what is the home of the best red wines in the world. In the world. Let’s celebrate this Montebruna, with its half masculine half female name, with this sacred adjective (brun, brune meaning brown) recounted poetically in a French verse of a colour that’s sometimes enigmatic, which doesn’t know whether it’s still day or already night (…the Valse Brune an insinuating pre-war waltz that tells of crooks who prowl by night…, but we can surpass this with a verse written in Piedmont dialect spunta’l sul e la lúna, e la lúna a Muncalé… meaning quite literally the sun and the moon rise, and the moon over Moncalieri).
