I probably should’ve paid attention and realized why there is a “Trial” option for character creation. There is evidently a 24 hours waiting period before you can delete a character I guess it’s a sort of “insurance” policy in case a player changes their mind, but it does get me stuck my character slots filled with toons pending deletion. I discovered another weird aspect of BDO while screwing around with the character customization: I figured I could just delete a character and remake them if I messed up customizations, right? Well, KINDA. I’m not exactly sure how that works yet, guess I’ll experiment with it some more tonight. Just a sample screenshot of one of the customization screens.Īlso, I /think/ you don’t just customize a character’s face and body, but their stance as well. ![]() I mean, I love character customization as a rule, but BDO’s overwhelms me. As of last night I have just dabbled in the character generation/customization, and by gosh it is super-detailed! This is the first game where I could adjust individual muscle groups and shape of a character’s face, and pretty much every other part of their anatomy (except the naughty bits. I will probably be posting some thoughts on the game soon, once I get a sense of how it plays. So I guess I will be dipping my toes in BDO, after all! Le Sigh. ![]() ![]() This right here, is one of the big pitfalls of upgrading my PC to modern standards, where it can actually run modern games.īlack Desert Online is free to download and play this weekend! I am not currently in the market for another MMORPG, but it’s hard to resist a free game that my computer can actually handle. ![]() In addition to seamless browsing through the advanced tag-based MASCHINE and KOMPLETE sound libraries, full support for NKS-ready plug-ins makes native in-app browsing for third party software possible. MASCHINE JAM not only boasts united workflow across included sounds and instruments, but also creates a workflow complementary to existing MASCHINE hardware. Along with the powerful MASCHINE Drum Synth modules, version 2.5 of the acclaimed MASCHINE software features a revised 9 GB library updated with all-new sounds and macro controls. MASCHINE JAM includes a substantial repertoire of sound from MASCHINE 2 software and the KOMPLETE 11 SELECT* instruments and effects bundle – including NI’s legendary synths MASSIVE and MONARK – so producers can start creating right out of the box. A powerful Lock function stores parameter snapshots that can revert back to their original settings or morph between multiple lock states. The Smart Strips each feature multi-color LED meters to monitor the level of the assigned function, and can be used to alter macros, key instrument parameters, and even play melodies and chords with the unique Notes function. Each strip responds to simultaneous finger gestures to alter the motion, space, and dynamics of sounds in real time. All-new Perform FX map one of several effects to JAM’s touch strips. MASCHINE JAM’s eight dual-touch Smart Strips feature an impressive set of functions unlocked with the free MASCHINE 2.5 software update. A built-in humanizer adds natural rhythmic fluctuations to programmed sequences. When the Variation Engine is enabled, inspirational beats and melodies are randomly generated based on customizable values and then modified on the matrix. ![]() In Pad Mode, sounds are entered in real time, while Piano Roll Mode makes step-sequencing melodies in a wide variety of available scales possible. In Step Mode, the matrix becomes a powerful multi-track step-sequencer for one, four, or eight sounds simultaneously. Its workflow centers on an 8×8 multicolor click-pad matrix where producers and performers can experiment with arrangement possibilities using patterns and scenes. MASCHINE JAM offers a unique set of hardware features that reinforces the creative process. It will stimulate more creative experimentation, drive quick results and deliver the flow of a truly tactile digital instrument for advanced track building and performance”. “MASCHINE JAM narrows the gap between idea and execution and introduces an innovative piece of hardware that draws from the power of software in a deeply integrated way. “Inspiration has always been the most energizing, yet transient moment in the creative process,” says Mate Galic, CTO of Native Instruments. MASCHINE JAM will be available at the NI Online Shop and at retailers worldwide starting September 29, 2016. Advancing the same seamless hardware-software integration found throughout the world of MASCHINE, MASCHINE JAM not only enhances music production with existing MASCHINE hardware, but also with DAWs, NKS-ready plug-ins, and the KOMPLETE range of software and hardware. MASCHINE JAM offers versatile workflow designed to swiftly capture and develop creative ideas using tactile step sequencing and touch-sensitive performance controls for the latest MASCHINE 2 software. Here’s the press release, fresh in our inbox… Native Instruments announces MASCHINE JAM production and performance systemīerlin, Septem– Native Instruments today announced MASCHINE JAM – the modern production and performance system created for fluid, intuitive track sketching and the latest member of the MASCHINE family. You can watch the promo video that‘s been published with the news, and does a decent job of running through the features: ![]() There are eight dual-touch ‘smart strip’ faders, with LED strips to control parameters, but unlike Ableton’s Push or the other Maschine hardware, there are no screens. The hardware sports the typical Native Instruments industrial design, with 8 x 8 grid of click buttons front and centre (these aren’t velocity sensitive, but can have an ‘accent’ mode to change the MIDI value). The JAM is named aptly after it’s intended function: to be used for sketching musical ideas within the Maschine software. While it’s so far mostly been the usual product updates (with the exception of Roland’s 909 Day event), Native Instruments have come out with a new Maschine controller that (mostly) came out of nowhere. BEHOLD… the MASCHINE JAM (all-caps theirs), which is most definitely not an Ableton Push nor Livid Base. We’re fast swinging into BPM weekend, and the new product announcements have been flowing in thick and fast. ![]() ![]() The Kobalt Cordless Combo Kits also include a worklight and a recip saw. I’m not sure why you’d want to do that though, as the combo kit offers serious bang for your buck. FYI, the Drill/Driver can also be purchased separately (with a case, two Lithium Ion Batteries and the charger) for $159. I also really liked the fact that despite the drill driver being a budget-conscious tool, Lowes armed it with an all-metal 1/2″ ratcheting chuck. The Drill/Driver performed great, driving both long and short screws with ease. I did find the tool bogging down several times, which made the task probably better suited for the new Kobalt Corded Circular Saw. ![]() Unfortunately, the beefy 3/4″ plywood we were cutting is just about on the cusp of what this tool is really meant for. I found it pretty easy to track the cut line with the 18v Lithium Ion Circular Saw. I’m happy to report I was on a team that tied for first place, thanks largely to stellar teammates (Ethan Hagan from One Project Closer, Dana Severson of the Woodworker’s Journal, and Steve Lita of Road Bike Magazine. The circ saw was solid but isn't the ideal tool for heavy-duty cutsWe had a chance to test out a couple new Cordless tools in a friendly competition between the various tool bloggers and media types. And with more than 1,725 convenient Lowe’s store locations, Kobalt’s guarantee is truly hassle-free. There is no registration or phone call required. If you ever experience a problem with your Kobalt tools, return the item to the place of purchase for a free replacement. In the words of Lowes:Īll Kobalt power tools are covered by a five-year, hassle-free guarantee, and all Kobalt batteries are covered by a three-year, hassle-free guarantee. This widespread local presence represents serious peace of mind. Over 1700 local Lowes stores makes their hassle-free guarantee far more accessible than many tool manufacturers warranty exchange programs. However, Lowes is offering a serious 5 year Warranty (3 year on the batteries), which means you’re not getting a disposable or semi-disposable tool either. With “professional grade” you probably shouldn’t expect the exact same level of performance or quality of some of the truly pro and prosumer-grade power tools out there. ![]() At $269 for the Lithium Ion and $169 for the NiCd kits, a weekend warrior gets a full set of tools for close to the price of a single higher-end tool from Bosch, Milwaukee or Makita. Although Lowes is marketing these Kobalt Cordless Tools as “professional grade”, we really see these as best suited for the DIYer that needs a diverse set of quality tools that won’t break the household budget. I tend to consider NiCd the tool equivalent of cassette tapes, but they still get the job done, and they do so at a discount to Lithium Ion. Kobalt is packing pro-ish features for impossibly low pricingThe new Kobalt Cordless Power Tools include both Lithium-Ion and NiCd Combo Kits (with drill/driver, reciprocating saw, circular saw and LED worklight). I just returned from that whirlwind NYC trip, which brings us to today’s post on Kobalt Tools, and Kobalt Power Tools in particular. A few weeks ago Lowes reached out to HomeFixated with an invitation for a Lowes sponsored trip and media event in New York City to kick off a further Kobalt expansion which includes a new line of power tools. Just for kicks you should try asking for them at Home Depot though (submit the video to us please). Kobalt Tools can be purchased exclusively from Lowes. In case you’re as clueless as I was with the Kobalt Tools line, Lowes launched the brand in 1998 in a limited range of tools and then relaunched an expanded line in 2004. It’s not that I have anything against Kobalt, but I’m the kind of guy that won’t buy “store brand” cereal either. I’ll admit it, despite being an avid tool guy, and having spent many, many, many hours in Lowes, I have never purchased Kobalt tools. It’s okay if it burns!

This smell indicates that there’s either too much fuel or too little air getting through. It’s going to push out the exhaust, causing a strange gas smell. When the spark plug doesn’t ignite all of the air-fuel mixture, there will be unburned gas coming out of the system. As a result, you’ll see a drop in the fuel economy until you perform a tune-up and replace the spark plugs. This added work is going to require more fuel. Any time that a spark plug is defective, you can expect that the engine is working harder than it needs to. Bad Fuel Economyįor your car to achieve the EPA-estimated fuel economy, the engine has to be running at optimal levels. If only one plug is bad, you may still be able to get the engine going, but it’s not going to run smoothly. ![]() If the spark plugs cannot ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, the engine won’t run. While this system is vital, you also need good spark plugs to get the engine going. When you think about turning the key in the vehicle and cranking the engine, you may first think of the starter system. For that reason, a complete diagnosis is needed before assuming the spark plugs are to blame. It could be due to a defective sensor, a bad ignition coil or something in the fuel system. Yet, this is another one of those problems that can be due to any ignition system part. It could also feel rough as the engine tries to push out more power. The car may seem sluggish when you push on the accelerator pedal. Rough AccelerationĪs the spark plugs fail, you will notice several issues with the acceleration. You may feel the vibration as the idle gets rougher. However, when the plugs start to fail, the idle becomes rough. When everything is running as it should, you will see a consistent idle from your car. Normal car idle occurs between 600 and 1,000 RPMs. If you allow the engine to continue misfiring, it will lead to further damage. The misfiring condition creates sputtering and it feels like the engine is struggling to perform. It can occur any time that a sensor fails or if a spark plug is defective. Misfiring EngineĪ misfiring engine occurs because the ignition system is enduring too much stress. Instead, you need to check the diagnostic trouble codes with your scanner and reference them in our online code library to see what’s going on. You can’t assume that the spark plugs are bad simply based on this warning light. Keep in mind that the Check Engine Light comes on for a multitude of problems. You should stop driving immediately and fix the problem. If the Check Engine Light begins flashing, it may indicate that a spark plug has failed, leaving one or more of the cylinders inoperable. The light can also come on if the spark plug becomes contaminated with oil or starts to run too hot. Therefore, the Check Engine Light will come on when relevant codes are set in the system. ![]() When the spark plugs are bad, the air-fuel mixture may not combust as it should. Here are the symptoms that matter the most. Defective plugs can also lead to a misfiring engine, a rough idle, trouble accelerating, a hard-starting engine, decreased fuel economy and exhaust that smells like fuel. ![]() If the Check Engine Light is flashing, the spark plugs may be bad. ![]() Finally, we end our article with the cost of spark plug replacement and with some answers to your questions. We also explain the function of the spark plugs, show you the location and give you tips to test them. In this guide, we cover the top symptoms of bad spark plugs. Replacing them is part of your car’s recommended maintenance schedule, but it’s still helpful to know the most common bad spark plug symptoms. Spark plugs are an essential part of the ignition system in a gas-powered car. ![]() The suit is boring, but I do like the addition of the pocket watch. They’re probably French cuffs, so I expect them to be a little longer - but considering Cam’s arm length I have to imagine these cuffs would go halfway up my forearm. I can’t stop staring at the cuffs of this shirt. Like yes, I get that he is going for 1920’s gangster (and the mask really gives it a bit of a Western vibe), but we have seen this look from literally every male celebrity who has ever existed. This is fine, but way more on the boring end on the Cam Newton kookiness spectrum. Sure, I reckon it’s just water - but maybe it could just as easily be some artisanal miso soup to be gently sipped pre-game. Maybe there’s not even water in there? It adds a sense of mystery. As someone who is constantly on the look for a good bottle, this looks like an excellent bespoke refreshment receptacle. Honestly, Rebecca hits the nail on the head here - but I have to disagree with the water bottle. I know it’s probably very hip, but it gives me too many “Emeril meets an airbrush painter at the boardwalk” kinda thing. I wish I could, but I feel like I always look like a school bus, or at best Big Bird when I try to pull it off. I’m into this! He needs a better water bottle though.Īs a husky gentleman I can never pull off yellow. The double-breasted blazer, fedora, and bow tie are obviously very old-fashioned, but the shocking yellow makes it feel like a modern dandy - which of course, is exactly who Cam is. ![]() Week 1 Rebecca, fashion expert:Ĭam’s cute lil’ loafers took the words right out of my mouth: BAM! This is mid-century supervillain, and I don’t hate it as much as I’d hate it on anybody else. This season Rebecca (an expert) and I (an idiot) will review each of Newton’s signature looks. Rebecca Jennings writes for The Goods over at Vox, where she follows fashion and consumer trends. Thankfully, I do know someone who is up to date on styles and trends. I’ve been wearing vintage tees, flip flops and jeans since March and that isn’t changing any time soon. There’s just one problem: I’m a fashion idiot. Everyone has fashion wins and missteps, and so we need to assign a subjective numerical scores to them in order to feel a little bit better about our inability to afford $5,000 loafers. We should, nay must, grade Newton’s looks with a critical eye. Newton may have moved from Carolina to New England, but he’s bringing his major sense of style to Foxboro and turning heads. This might be a bit of an unusual NFL season, but there remains an ever-reliable constant: Cam Newton’s avant-garde fashion. |
