![]() ![]() The whole idea is that the game isn’t in on the joke. I thought it’d look pretty ridiculous if these hapless flailing things which can’t even walk around were forced to fight and look fierce like characters out of Street Fighter or something. One day two of them were set up pretty close together, and Josh said, “Look daddy, they’re fighting!” and that was it. My little boys had always been obsessed with the “windy waver men” they saw outside car yards on the side of the road. What was the inspiration behind the game? Never was Richard’s point here more poignant than the time the Hojo team filmed Lee and I versing each other… On the other hand, the sorts of things we’ve heard players yell at each other while playing Inflatality is a very different story □ Kids play fight from a very early age anyway, at least in Inflatality it’ll never involve blood or weapons or anything parents would feel awkward explaining to their kids. Yeah, it’s probably the only fighting game I can think of that IS ok for children. ![]() We want it to become the ultimate couch versus party fighter for PCs and consoles.Ĭonsidering that it’s a fighting game that doesn’t come across as violent, do you think it will be a good game for children? We’ll also be building loads more signature moves into the game for players to choose from. But we’re building more environments where wavers gather to duel – like the boat show, the airport, a bogan wedding, etc. It’s still relativity early days for Inflatality, what are some of the features you’ll be including in the near future?Īt the moment there’s only one battle arena – the used car yard. There are headshots, spanking and all kinds of bizarre ways the wavers can get inappropriately twisted up together. It’s surprising how dynamic, tactical and plain ridiculous the combat gets with really simple controls. When the charge bar is full, you unleash an epic signature move you’ll need to come to PAX to see! You use one analogue stick to twist and turn your waver around, dodge or lunge towards your opponent and the other analogue stick to flail your arms for attacks and unleashing savage rubbery combos.Įach waver has a health bar and a charge bar they can fill by performing combos or pulling off trick shots. ![]() How does the gameplay work and what are some of the fun moves you can pull on your opponent?įirst you get to create your very own battle waver, down to the eyes, mouths, colours and even tattoos – then it’s time to fight. The idea is that in every car yard across the world, as soon as no-one’s looking, those wavers come to life, turn feral and fight to the death in brutal combat. Inflatality is a derpy physics fighter for two players, featuring adorable inflatable wavers beating the crap out of each other. For those not in the know, what’s it all about? Inflatality is probably the most fun fighting game I’ve ever played. I had the pleasure of interviewing Co-Found of Hojo, Richard Salter about this truly insane game, but before diving into that, you really should check out the gameplay footage so you can understand why we’re losing our minds over it… We were instantly addicted and made it our personal mission to tell everyone we have ever met about it. However, if you are both amused and intrigued by what I just said, then I present Inflatality by Hojo Studio and Deepforge.īoth myself and Lee discovered this insanely fun fighting game at Beer and Pixels in Sydney a few months back. If the terms “inflatable fighters”, “crotch punch” and “fumblecore” don’t appeal to you, then I’m afraid that we are very different people. I’m incredibly excited to be kicking off our PAX Rising interviews with a game that is as hilarious as it is spectacular. Plus those indies really know how to drink. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and inclusivity is something I’m a big fan of. Supporting the local indie industry is something that’s close to my heart and with over 70 exhibitors this year there are going to be an abundance of unique and incredible games for punters to indulge in. PAX Rising is one of my favourite aspects of the entire three day convention. ![]()

He was the only child of George Alfred Moore (1904–1997), a policeman based in Bow Street, London, and Lillian "Lily" Pope (1904–1986). Roger Moore was born on 14 October 1927 in Stockwell, London. He was made a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 2008. In 2007, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the film industry. ![]() Moore was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1991 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 for services to charity. Continuing to act on screen in the decades after his retirement from the Bond franchise, Moore's final appearance was in a pilot for a new Saint series that became a 2017 television film. He also had roles in American series, including Beau Maverick on the Western Maverick (1960–1961), in which he replaced James Garner as the lead, and a co-lead, with Tony Curtis, in the action-comedy The Persuaders! (1971–1972). On television, Moore played the lead role of Simon Templar, the title character in the British mystery thriller series The Saint (1962–1969). However, this record is tied by Sean Connery if the non-Eon-produced Never Say Never Again (1983) is included. Moore's seven appearances as Bond, from Live and Let Die to A View to a Kill, are the most of any actor in the Eon-produced entries. He was the third actor to portray fictional secret agent James Bond in the Eon Productions/ MGM Studios film series, playing the character in seven feature films between 19. ![]() Sir Roger George Moore KBE (14 October 1927 – ) was an English actor. ![]() ![]() Players cannot walk around as in the PlayStation 2 version, although interactions still retain the "visual novel" feel.

This feature is only accessible on a New Cycle, and the protagonist can only select members of SEES with whom they have maxed social links and are romantically involved with. Margaret's challenges become available as soon as the Adamah Block is accessible, and are accessed from a separate door in the Tartarus lobby.Īnother new addition is the ability to pick who the protagonist spends the last moments of the game with. When all of the battles have been successfully met, a second optional boss can be fought: Margaret, Igor's assistant in Persona 4 and guardian of the Desert of Doors in P3P. In this mode, the party can fight stronger incarnations of the Full Moon shadow bosses - save for Arcana Magician - and partake in special battles that test the party's abilities. The Desert of Doors from the Abyss of Time seen in The Answer will still appear, however, in an extra feature known as the Vision Quest. In the female protagonist's path, there is also the choice of selecting Elizabeth or a male-equivalent named Theodore to be Igor's assistant in the Velvet Room. The Persona of the female protagonist is a more feminine Orpheus. The storyline of the female protagonist features many differences from that of the male protagonist, such as new social interactions as well as Social Links. The setting takes place during the main portion of Persona 3 (known in FES as "The Journey"). The remaster was released on January 19th, 2023. ![]() In June 2022, as part of the Persona 25th Anniversary, it was announced that Persona 3 Portable would be ported on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows via Steam and the Microsoft Store. Unlike other renditions of Persona 3, the game lacks 3D environments and character models (outside of combat areas such as Tartarus), all anime cutscenes are replaced by in-engine cutscenes or written descriptions, the graphics and audio quality were compressed, and The Answer ("Episode Aegis" in the Japanese version), a post-ending story without the series' hallmark social elements, is not available in P3P due to limited storage space on the PSP's UMD. The theme of the game revolves around the butterfly effect, reflecting the changes that happen should the player pursue the path of one protagonist over the other, and the Latin phrase memento mori which literally translates as "remember (that you have) to die," which has served a major role in the thematics since the original Persona 3. The game allows the player to choose the gender of the protagonist, which possibly opens up new routes and scenarios in the story. ![]() Backwards compatibility had made the game playable on PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV.

In it, Michaelson ruminates on the small details of her everyday life, singing "We make bread on Sundays and the little ones are climbing the walls/Up the walls/Nothing lasts forever but the sound of love astounds me every time that it calls."

Elsewhere, we get the catchy dance-pop duet "One Night Town" with Mat Kearney and the uplifting anthem "Afterlife." There's also a very in-the-moment feeling of both poignancy and happiness to Lights Out, which is perhaps best expressed in the midtempo Beatlesque ballad "Wonderful Unknown," featuring Michaelson's husband, singer/songwriter Greg Laswell. Cuts like the bluesy, handclap-heavy "Warpath" and the similarly fiery "Time Machine," with its '90s-esque sax samples, are more emblematic of the album's ambitious, empowered tone. While there are a few of Michaelson's trademark intimate breakup songs here, including the tear-inducing "Open Hands," overall the album reveals Michaelson to be in a bright, upbeat state of mind. Michaelson even reunites with longtime collaborator Dan Romer for the epic ballad "Over You," featuring A Great Big World. This time out, Michaelson has enlisted a handful of producers who include, among others, her bandmate bassist Chris Kuffner, Jacquire King (Modest Mouse, Norah Jones), and singer/songwriter Katie Herzig. Michaelson even seems to reference that album with her Lights Out lead single, the infectious "Girls Chase Boys." However, where Girls and Boys centered around Michaelson's intimate ukulele and acoustic guitar-driven dorm room pop, Lights Out features a broadened sonic palette and a much more robust vocal performance it's a transformation she's been perfecting since 2009's Everybody and 2012's Human Again. ![]() Ingrid Michaelson's sixth studio album, 2014's Lights Out, is a polished, well-produced effort that magnifies all of the sounds and lyrical themes she's been working with since breaking through with 2007's Girls and Boys. ![]() Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. ![]() ![]() ![]() For over 40 years, the owners and employees of Price Chopper have been committed to providing the highest quality products and top-of-the-line customer service to the thousands of customers they serve every day.
