![]() Also, the rocket launcher appeared right in front of the extra ammo. ![]() I would have to travel all the way to the right, which probably wouldn't give me enough time to get back in the tank (I've died that way before). Q: Why didn't you collect the extra ammo and the rocket launcher when you were fighting the final boss? They were so close to you!Ī: The extra ammo was actually kind of far from me. With that being said, I think my cocoon strategy is fast because I can kill the Marcos while still firing at the cocoon. I could have been burned to death easily by the zillions of alien Marcos running around. ![]() Q: Are you sure that is the fastest strategy fighting the cocoon?Ī: It is so easy to die during the cocoon fight that I don't care if it is the fastest strategy. Q: Why did you crash the spaceship when you were inside the UFO?Ī: The heavy machine gun saves time against the hoop-shooting bots. I would have lost at least 30 seconds if I collected the rocket launcher. Q: Why do you try so hard to dodge the rocket launcher while fighting the UFOs?Ī: The shotgun is much stronger than the rocket launcher. Q: Why do you waste your grenades before you fight the fourth boss?Ī: It is impossible to hit the fourth boss with grenades. If I ever try to improve this run (ha), I'll try to get better luck. Many of my runs have ended at the first or second stage. ![]() Why didn't you restart?Ī: After you spend a year (on and off) on a game this hard, you stop caring just a wee bit less about luck factors. Q: Your luck against the second boss sucked. Plus Fio is the best character, you know the glasses are hot (and she doesn't have the fugly Metal Slug 5 picture). All of the other paths take much longer (sometimes even twice as long).Ī: I know, but it's worth it when I can kill hundreds alien Marco clones in the end. Q: Are you sure you took the best path choices?Ī: Yes, the best path choices in this game are very obvious. Also, the fourth boss's pinwheel attack becomes nearly impossible to dodge on very hard. I know it sounds lame, but it makes the run look smoother and I'm used to playing this game on hard. If I chose a higher difficulty I would end up using more grenades on normal enemies and less on bosses, making the run longer. Q: Speaking of hard, why didn't you play Metal Slug 3 on the highest difficulty?Ī: For some reason, hard difficulty lets you kill most of the enemies without being delayed for a long period of time. If you want to be even more confused, the hardest difficulty in the console versions of metal slug games isn't even the hardest difficulty in the arcade version (level 6, highest is 8), whee! Very hard in Metal Slug 3 is the equivalent hard in Metal Slug 4 and 5. Therefore, hard in Metal Slug 3 is the equivalent of arcade/mvs in Metal Slug 4 and 5 (and Neo Geo Metal Slug 3). In an effort to confuse everyone, SNK Playmore decided renaming the difficulties was a good idea for Metal Slug 3. Q: Wait, hard isn't the highest difficulty in Metal Slug 3? Then why did you claim that hard was the highest difficulty in Metal Slug 4 and 5?Ī: That's because hard is the highest difficulty in Metal Slug 4 and 5. I don't think it would save more than a couple of seconds anyways. Q: When you lost all your ammo from a weapon how did you fire instantaneously?Ī: Crouching cancels the recovery of switching back to the pistol.Ī: The arcade version of Metal Slug 3 doesn't have vulcan fix, and being a purist I didn't use vulcan fix in my run. Q: Why are you crouching while firing throughout the game?Ī: Firing while crouching allows you to fire faster than simply standing and shooting. A Playstation 2 + DVD recorder was used to record the run, thanks go to Nate for capturing. Played at the default arcade difficulty (hard, which is not the highest difficulty) Timing note: Load times aren't counted in Metal Slug Anthology runs toĭifficulty note: Normal mode in Metal Slug 3 for PS2/Xbox isn't allowed because it lies between easy and normal in Metal Slug Anthology.īest time, hard mode: 0:33:19 by Mike Uyama on. Like the previous three games, the plot involves Morden doing something evil, but anyone who has played 2 or X knows the aliens are the true villains.įurthermore, 99% of people who play Metal Slug games don't care about the plot and care more about shooting stuff, dying a ridiculous amount of times, and swearing at this game Introducing multiple paths, interesting new slugs (an elephant that can breath fire, anyone?),Īnd more absurd enemies (zombies and mutant plants), Metal Slug 3 brought new additions to the Metal Slug series while still emphasizing destructive shooting coupled with explosions. Released in June 2000 Neo-Geo, Metal Slug 3 is considered the best and hardest Metal Slug by most fans.

It also will repair the worst 10,000 smaller bridges, providing critical linkages to communities. It will fix the ten most economically significant bridges in the country in need of reconstruction. The President’s plan will modernize 20,000 miles of highways, roads, and main-streets. Specifically, President Biden’s plan will:įix highways, rebuild bridges, upgrade ports, airports and transit systems. And, the plan invests in rural communities and communities impacted by the market-based transition to clean energy. The plan targets 40 percent of the benefits of climate and clean infrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities. But unlike past major investments, the plan prioritizes addressing long-standing and persistent racial injustice. It will invest in Americans and deliver the jobs and opportunities they deserve. Like great projects of the past, the President’s plan will unify and mobilize the country to meet the great challenges of our time: the climate crisis and the ambitions of an autocratic China. ![]() ![]() It has never been more important for us to invest in strengthening our infrastructure and competitiveness, and in creating the good-paying, union jobs of the future. And, our nation is falling behind its biggest competitors on research and development (R&D), manufacturing, and training. It has unmasked the fragility of our caregiving infrastructure. The past year has led to job losses and threatened economic security, eroding more than 30 years of progress in women’s labor force participation. Too many lack access to affordable, high-speed Internet and to quality housing. Our electric grid is vulnerable to catastrophic outages. After decades of disinvestment, our roads, bridges, and water systems are crumbling. The United States of America is the wealthiest country in the world, yet we rank 13 th when it comes to the overall quality of our infrastructure. The American Jobs Plan will invest in America in a way we have not invested since we built the interstate highways and won the Space Race. Public domestic investment as a share of the economy has fallen by more than 40 percent since the 1960s. The American Jobs Plan is an investment in America that will create millions of good jobs, rebuild our country’s infrastructure, and position the United States to out-compete China. This is the moment to reimagine and rebuild a new economy. While the American Rescue Plan is changing the course of the pandemic and delivering relief for working families, this is no time to build back to the way things were. As you can see in the example above, the X-axis of my right thumbstick actually rests around 52%, the product of old age and a lot of intense rounds of Halo Online. Swing it up and down, and as long as you see the numbers “0%”, and “100% at the extremes of both the top and the bottom of the thumbstick’s range of motion (as well as resting in the middle at 50%), your controller is properly calibrated. The same goes for the Y-axis (vertical movement). ![]() The X-axis calibrates the Xbox’s right thumbstick for horizontal movement, so for that, you just need to pull the thumbstick all the way to the left and the right, and see if the full range of motion is being appropriately registered. In our case, the Xbox 360 triggers are measured along the Z-axis, and should register anywhere from 100% (resting) to 200% (pulled down completely). These could be pressure-sensitive buttons like the Xbox’s left and right triggers, thumbsticks, or they might just be regular buttons on some gamepads. Next, you’ll run through the same set of tools for any “axes” on your controller. You should see the small cross hit all four corners in the box above, or at least touch all four sides of the box. This data is valuable because it will tell you if either of your thumbsticks are starting to wear down due to overuse, and can help you to diagnose any reasons why your in-game accuracy might be slipping.įrom here, swing the left thumbstick all the way around its full range of motion a few times. Let go of the thumbstick and click “Next”, at which point you’ll be taken to the next screen.Īlthough it’s not necessary, we recommend selecting the “Display Raw Data” box, which will show you exactly where the resting point for the thumbstick is with quantifiable numbers. At first, it will ask you to leave the thumbstick alone so it can find the center point. The calibration tool will start off with the “D-Pad” calibration, which on the Xbox 360 controller is actually the left thumbstick. Once in Settings, click on the tab for “Devices”:įrom here, the Calibration Wizard will automatically begin taking you through the process to get your controller set up properly. (This window is also where you’ll find the button to “Reset to Default”, in case you want the tool to automatically reset any changes that were made during a previous calibration run.) Calibrate Your ControllerĪgain, we’re using the Xbox 360 controller here, so you may see slightly different windows depending on your controller, but most of it should be very similar. To find the Calibration Tool, begin by going down to your Start Menu, and selecting “Settings”. We’ll be using an Xbox 360 controller for this guide, since that’s what we have, but it should work pretty much the same for any gamepad you plug in. The calibration tool can help you dial in your controller so it’s as accurate as it can be. Or perhaps your gamepad has a worn down thumbstick that doesn’t seem like it’s tilting as far as it could. In other cases, you may just have an old controller that needs a little help. For example, maybe you have a button that’s sticking and you aren’t sure just how much the computer is able to read from it on each press. For example, if you use a Nintendo 64 controller with a USB adapter, it will almost certainly need to be calibrated before you can use it. ![]() Although many gamepads, like the Xbox One or Xbox 360 controllers, are usually calibrated for gaming on a PC right out of the box, others may need you to calibrate them before the system recognizes all their movements with complete accuracy.
![]() I chose OBS because it's the only free broadcasting software that can broadcast a specific window to my knowledge. And the only thing VLC can do about it is to specify which part of the screen to broadcast which doesn't seem like a great solution.
![]() ![]() Lastly, this study helps hospitality industry practitioners better position their own websites by revealing and comparing the influential factors that determine online accommodation bookers’ perceptions towards three types of booking channels.MEETINGS, INCENTIVES, CONVENTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS (MICE) ![]() The third contribution of study is through the inclusion of two types of behavioral intentions (use intention and purchase intention) and the examination of the relationship between these two constructs, which suggest the diminished value of the billboard effect. Second, this study expands upon the current website quality measurements body of knowledge in a more accurate manner by assessing measurement invariance and regressing overall website quality against each proposed website quality dimension across three booking channels. First, given the rapid growth of sharing economy platforms, this research is among the first studies to investigate the impact of website quality on customers’ intention to purchase on the HSEPs and provides new insights in understanding this niche segment from customers’ perspectives. The contribution of this research is both academic and practical. The mediating effects of customer satisfaction and use intention were also detected. Additionally, this study confirmed the inter-relationships among website quality, customer satisfaction and purchase intention, and mapped the customers’ search-purchase relationships in an online context. In the HSEP setting, it was noted that aesthetics was viewed as high-quality. It was suggested OTA website quality was assessed based on customers’ experience in the information search process, while hotel website quality was evaluated with a focus on the technical adequacy. Results from 973 online survey responses revealed the conceptualization of website quality varied across three types of booking websites and highlighted the importance of website aesthetics. This study also proposed a purchase intention model by adding customer satisfaction and use intention as two mediating variables. This study identified what constituted website quality by regressing the perceived ease-of-use, information quality, privacy risk, and website aesthetics against overall website quality. It is important for hoteliers, hosts, and website designers to understand and compare what components comprise website quality and how website quality influences customers’ purchase intention across three types of booking channels: OTA websites, hotel branded websites, and hospitality sharing economy platforms (HSEPs). The proliferation of online accommodation booking websites has created the need for measurement criteria to evaluate the quality of website. In the hospitality industry, Airbnb is the best-known example of this phenomenon. This new wave of peer-to-peer businesses allow customers to make money from underused assets. The latest in a series of disruptive innovations brought by the Internet, is the sharing economy business. Online travel agencies’ (OTAs) and hotel websites have risen to reach a broader range of customers to generate more revenue. There is no doubt that hotel distribution has changed dramatically since the advent of the Internet. ![]() The measurement tools in Revu help you capture a project’s true scope and create a stronger bid-which gives you the competitive edge. ![]() Revu speeds up design reviews by allowing project partners to mark up and collaborate on the same documents in real time, or any time.įor architects, engineers and contractors, the markup and collaboration tools in Bluebeam Revu allow for faster, more accurate and more thorough quality reviews.
