I heard the electric version first and thought it was awesome, then they came out with the acoustic version and you never hear the original electric version anymore. Lauderdale, FlThe electric version of this song is way better than the watered down acoustic version that is all you ever hear anymore. In the 1993 Metal Edge Readers' Choice Awards, the song was voted 'Song of the Year' and 'Best Song from a.

Others, most notably the original promise-maker himself, were none too happy with the idea. If they wished to survive, Origin too had to stop throwing away their technology after only using it once they had to renege at last on Richard Garriott’s longstanding promise. The more practical voices at the company, such as the hard-nosed head of product development Dallas Snell, said that Origin simply had to start following the example of their rivals, who reused their engines many times as a matter of course. These were very good numbers for the genre and the times, but it seemed that Origin had long ago hit a sales ceiling for games of this type. Each new entry in the series since Ultima IV had continued to sell a consistent 200,000 to 250,000 copies. Making a new Ultima from the ground up had by this point come to entail much more than just writing a game engine it required a whole new technical infrastructure of editors and other software tools that let the design team, to paraphrase Origin’s favorite marketing tagline, create their latest world.īut, while development costs thus skyrocketed, sales weren’t increasing to match. It was quite another thing in the case of a game like 1990’s Ultima VI, the first Ultima to be developed for MS-DOS machines with VGA graphics and hard drives, a project involving four programmers and five artists, plus a bureaucracy of others that included everything from producers to play-testers. To build each new entry in the series from the ground up was one thing when doing so entailed Garriott disappearing alone into a small room containing only his Apple II for six months or a year, then emerging, blurry-eyed and exhausted, with floppy disks in hand. Yes, games like The Bard’s Tale and Pool of Radiance racked up some very impressive sales of their own as the 1980s wore on, but Ultima… well, Ultima was simply Ultima, the most respected name of all in CRPGs.Īnd yet by 1990 the promise which had served Richard Garriott so well was starting to become a real problem for his company Origin Systems. While the first five Wizardry installments remained largely indistinguishable from one another to the casual fan, Ultima made major, obvious leaps with each new release. When the first Ultima had appeared in 1981, it had lagged well behind the first Wizardry in terms of sales and respect, but by the time Ultima III dropped in 1983 Garriott’s series had snatched a lead which it would never come close to relinquishing. For quite some time, this policy served Garriott very well indeed. ![]() Before every new installment of his series, he would tear everything down to its component parts and rebuild it all, bigger and better than ever before. Looking for a way to differentiate his CRPG series from its arch-rival, Wizardry, he said that he would never reuse an Ultima engine. In the very early days of Ultima, Richard Garriott made a public promise which would eventually come back to haunt him.

"After the game, I wasn't sure about the but we did get clarification to say it was the wrong decision from the referees and that it shouldn't have been a sending off.

The FIFA23 Champions Series is back for season 2, and this time Debonairs Pizza is joining the action. ![]() Just a guy with his guitar – playing his shows and recording his albums, sitting in on some sessions (I first heard him as the guitarist for Rickie Lee Jones, it was so, so unbelievably good that I was back to his late 60s debut solo record after that…) He also doesn’t seem to have ever gone too far down the eccentric path (Bill Orcutt, Sir Richard Bishop) nor the drinking-too-much-to-be-pleasant path (Johns Martyn and Fahey). It’s a more intimate record than the others are, I think there are depths to it.What a wonderful anomaly Leo Kottke is – a folk guitarist, but also a jazz guitarist and there’s classical in there, it’s just an absolute stew. We’ve found that at soundchecks, and at my place, or his place, or some motel room. We were trying to get to that place that we get to in a little room, just chasing each other. Kottke credits Gordon for the album’s total picture, and says, “I just knew there was a shape and that we were following it. And even when we had drums, we wanted to maintain that feeling.” There are overdubs, but it’s still more like you’re in a cafe or a living room with these two guys. “I was hearing a darkness in the material Leo was bringing, and some of the material that I wanted to bring, that I thought just reflected going through 10 more years of life. “The vibe is very different from the other two albums,” says Gordon. Noon is about mood, be it the shadowy dream-love of Kottke’s “Noon To Noon,” the haunted surreality in a stripped-back version of “Peel” (a staple for Gordon’s solo band), or-an old standby-Kottke’s stark rethinking of the Byrds’ “Eight Miles High,” its modal jam re-propelled by Gordon. As songs and arrangements were thought and rethought, Slomoff and Gordon fit puzzle pieces together, including nearly ambient appearances by pedal steel player Brett Lanier (Barr Bros.) and cellist Zoë Keating (Imogen Heap).įor both Kottke and Gordon, the result is a new understanding of their collaboration about how Kottke’s quizzically rhythmic guitar fits with Gordon’s quizzically melodic bass, a musical world of questions nested inside questions. With Gordon composing, recording, and revising bass parts with longtime collaborator and Noon producer Jared Slomoff, and in-the-room performances supplemented by micro-overdubs, Noon is far more complex than might seem on first listen. ![]() A panoramic collection of small, strange moments to parallel the serendipitous turns of its extended five-year creation, Noon is a collaboration as singular as its musicians. Recorded in New Orleans and Vermont, with music exchanged by file, tape-sealed boombox, sheet music, and face-to-face, Noon is the musically visible part of a conversation between Kottke and Gordon, his junior by 20 years. Though Noon largely captures the sound of an acoustic guitar playing with an electric bass, and there are a lot of live-in-studio performances, it is also far more than the sound of Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon playing in a room together. If you can’t get along, why go in a room with no windows with them? Playing is personal.” Music tends to happen with friendship before anything else. Kottke met Gordon in Burlington, VT, and met Fishman, Leo says, “.somewhere in New York, a little earlier. ![]() Noon also finds the duo joined by Phish drummer Jon Fishman on five tracks, including a bopping low-key cover of Prince’s “Alphabet Street.” For Kottke, bringing Fishman into the fold has been a long time coming. The pairing of Kottke and Gordon began some two decades ago, when Gordon - a longtime fan - audaciously overdubbed a bass part over Kottke’s 1969 solo track “The Driving of the Year Nail” and hand-delivered it to the veteran Minnesota guitarist. Beginning his career on John Fahey’s Takoma label in 1969, Kottke virtually invented his own school of playing with his distinct, propulsive fingerstyle.Īs a co-founder of live music heroes Phish in 1983, launching a solo career in the early ‘00s, Gordon’s own big-eared musical vocabulary has created both a boundary-pushing discography and helped shape a generation (or two) of improvisers. ![]() The return of an American guitar legend, Noon marks Leo Kottke’s first studio record since his last collaboration with Gordon, 2005’s 66 Steps, though he’s continued to tour constantly. As creative as it is dextrous, under other circumstances, Noon might be hailed as a breakthrough third album from a young band. Couching late-night melancholy in a summer lilt, Noon features 11 tracks of warmly askew songs and intricate playing - and the intimate third voice created by Kottke and Gordon, two of the most accomplished and idiosyncratic instrumentalists in American music. The unlikely partnership between acoustic guitar pioneer Leo Kottke and Phish bassist Mike Gordon continues with the long-awaited Noon, their first new album in 15 years. ![]()

She just wasn't taken notice of." A relative called her "woebegone" and a child who wasn't getting enough cuddles. "She always had a sad look on her face, she had no spirit, no life. Brown describes the toddler as a slow child developmentally. Joanne Brown, who had children at the kohanga, described Lillybing that morning as "a mess" with "shit all down her legs." It was a cold and rainy day and Lillybing's bare feet were pinky-purple with the cold and her nose was snotty. The preschool had recently changed hands and the sisters were working hard to bring it up to national safety guidelines for re-opening on the following Monday. They both worked there as administrators and Lillybing and their own children attended. On the Friday morning, Namana and Paewai took Lillybing and their own children to the Nga Waka Te Kohanga Reo in Carterton. She spent the night, as usual, sleeping in Namana and Hemopo's shabby bedroom. Neither she, nor her cousins at Charles St, were known to the Child, Youth and Family Services. Only two weeks short of her second birthday, the cherubic-looking girl appeared to be suffering only nappy rash, a cut between her toes and a few bumps and bruises. The day she arrived at Namana's, Lillybing seemed to be in good health. It was Namana who breastfed Lillybing as an infant and taught her to walk. Namana, helped by her blood-sister, Rongomai Paewai, a then-26-year-old beneficiary and mother, took over a lot of the upbringing of Lillybing, and even Terina Matiaha referred to her step-sister as the toddler's second mother. When Terina Matiaha was asked in court where Karaitiana was these days, she replied, "Wellington, I think." Terina Matiaha's first-born was given to her mother to bring up. Her father, Joshua Karaitiana, was 17 when she was born and had fathered her older brother when he was 14. Little Lillybing lived mostly in Masterton with her mother, grandmother and four of her aunts and uncles, aged between 10 and 18. The couple's first-born child was given up for adoption because Hemopo questioned its paternity, but was later taken back. Hemopo was seen as a loving father and his relationship with Namana seemed solid in an environment in which it was commonplace for men to come and go. ![]() The children were described as unworldly kids, who just didn't get much stimulation. Two rusting car wrecks - one full of fetid rubbish and nappies - took pride of place on the lawn. The Hemopo-Namana children, aged between 2 and 8, were rarely seen playing outside the house. So that afternoon, Josephine Matiaha dropped Lillybing off at the run-down weatherboard home in semi-rural Charles St, Carterton, that Namana shared with her partner, David Hemopo - the unemployed father of her children. Josephine would look after Lillybing's older brother, then aged 3. But she reluctantly agreed to take Lillybing until the baby was out of hospital. Namana told a friend that Terina Matiaha was a useless mother and she was sick of providing food and nappies for Lillybing when her own resources were so stretched. ![]() She had four children of her own and was heavily pregnant with another. On that Thursday Namana was not keen to have her. ![]() Often Lillybing would be dropped off on a Thursday and not picked up until Saturday. She was concentrating on the new baby, and Lillybing - christened Hinewaoriki Karaitiana-Matiaha but nicknamed after an aunty Lily - was spending more and more time with Matiaha's step-sister, Rachaelle Namana, then aged 27. Terina Matiaha would spend the next two nights at her hospital bedside, sneaking out that evening to call the numbers at housie. ![]() Earlier that day Lillybing's 9-month-old younger sister had been admitted to Masterton Hospital with diarrhoea and dehydration. It was housie night at Masterton East School and Lillybing's mother, Terina Matiaha, aged 23, and Matiaha's mother, Josephine Matiaha, were regulars. Thursday July 20, 2000, was the beginning of the end for Lillybing.

Where the computer's AI has information that the player is either always denied, or denied at that level.Īny overpowered, One-Hit Kill, or potent ailment-inflicting skill will be useless on big bosses. In fact, some games deliberately manipulate the RNG in the player's favour just to avoid the appearance of cheating. Ironically, players often think the AI is cheating when it isn't, such as strings of good luck from an RNG that is actually perfectly fair, while not noticing at all the subtle and behind-the-scenes ways that the computer is actually cheating. In order to make up the gap and still present a challenge, cheating is required. Computers are often prevented from using certain tactics that are open to the player, either because it's "cheap" when your enemies do it or there's no freaking way that a computer could manage to pull it off at a crucial moment. Sometimes this is justified due to the Rule of Fun. If the game looks at the way your characters have been customized and the AI is then given strategies or abilities specifically designed to counter yours, that's not impossible, per se (it's entirely possible that you could encounter a human player with a team that counters yours perfectly!), but it's something that was specifically given to the computer as an advantage over the player, rather than random chance. Though this trope generally applies to impossibilities (things that the player literally cannot do no matter how well they play and no matter how many things they've unlocked in the game at that point, the computer will just have extra resources or abilities), it can also just apply to more conventional cheating. Conversely, arcade versions of games ("quarter munchers") often cheat more than home console versions. Some games have even used the fact that their AI is not a cheating bastard as a selling point. In ZX Spectrum forums such as, this phenomenon (real or imagined) is known as "cheatingbastness". This can be a quick-and-dirty method of achieving a "level" playing field against a skilled human player (especially in older games, where hardware and AI capabilities were limited and prone to Artificial Stupidity), but can also create Fake Difficulty when the computer has access to moves that a human player (in the same context) clearly does not. The computer player is a cheating bastard whenever the "rules" differ between you and Video Game A.I.-controlled opponents. ![]() Jonny Ebert, lead designer of Dawn of War II on video game A.I. |
