This is because change is usually diachronous, unfolding at different moments and at different rates in different places. Even less consistent is evidence for establishing – through radiometric dating – uniform time boundaries between the layers. The difficulty for geologists is that there is very little uniformity in fossil layers in the rock. What constitutes a stratigraphic boundary is primarily the ‘sudden’ appearance or disappearance of a particular type of fossil: the carboniferous period, for example, is characterised by the appearance of coal 360 million years ago. This last will have trouble making the grade: an anthropogenic effect tied to one locale is very different to an epoch-defining global marker. Originating in different scholarly papers, yet widely touted by the media, these are: 16 July 1945 (the first nuclear explosion, proposed by the AWG itself) a much earlier date of 1610 (marked by a dip in CO2 that can be detected in an ice core in Antarctica, and representing the time that forests overtook agricultural land after 50 million people in the Americas perished with the arrival of Europeans) and even ca.100,000 years ago, by which time a thick ‘carpet’ of stone tools had accumulated on an escarpment in Libya, evidence of massive scale lithic industry by early hominids that changed the landscape seemingly forever. This year so far three candidate start dates have been proposed for the Anthropocene. Never mind that the most acute symptoms of the Anthropocene kicked in only around 70 years ago – less than a blink in geological terms – the AWG is going all-out in its global search, from the desert of New Mexico to glacial lakes in Norway, to establish a stratigraphic basis for the human epoch. It styles humans as a geological force, as powerful as any ‘natural’ one (we move more material than all natural processes combined, including river and ocean sedimentation), and acknowledges that we have re-engineered all the Earth systems, notably the carbon dioxide and nitrogen cycles, leaving a poisonous crust for far-future civilisations to excavate and ponder.Īt the same moment that the Holocene’s golden spike was driven into Greenland’s ice-core in 2009, the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) – consisting of a few dozen geologists and other interested parties – began searching for the next spike, to identify the point when humans became a global geological force. We simply can’t wait to declare a new epoch.Ĭonceived in its current form by the Dutch chemist and Nobel Prize-winner Paul Crutzen and the American biologist Eugene F Stoermer in 2000, and developed by Crutzen and colleagues in a landmark 2007 paper, the Anthropocene is a neologism that attempts to pin down a lot of free-floating anxiety about climate change and the myriad ways that Homo sapiens are making over the planet in our own image. As a proposition, the Anthropocene is so compelling (featuring on the covers of The Economist, The Guardian, Le Monde and Der Spiegel), and apparently so urgent (can a word save the world?) that it is forcing the geological hierarchy to speed up its glacial procedures. The next marker in rock-time, but one yet to earn its golden spike, is the Anthropocene – aka us. It can take decades to find a suitable spot on the planet in which to plant it, one where the change in the rock is irrefutable. Since the system was introduced in the 1970s, a golden spike has become the holy grail of stratigraphy. It is ceremoniously driven into a rock face (or ice core) between two types of strata and, by extrapolation, two different epochs. And that hardening is represented by the GSSP.Ī valedictory piece of metal, the ‘golden spike’ is awarded by the International Commission of Stratigraphy. The science, and the bureaucracy, of geology takes after its subject matter in the enormous stretches of time required (176 years for the Holocene) for ideas to bed down in the discipline’s conceptual sediment and then harden into universally accepted facts. But it would be another 84 years before the term was endorsed by the US Commission on Stratigraphic Nomenclature in 1969, and only in 2009 was the Holocene awarded its very own Geological Stratigraphic Section and Point (GSSP) – or ‘golden spike’ – located in an ice core 1,492 metres below the surface of Greenland. French paleontologist Paul Gervais dubbed it the Holocene in 1867, a name which was formalised at the Third International Geological Congress in Bologna in 1885. The geological epoch we currently inhabit – the ‘wholly recent’ period since the last ice age – was first mooted in 1833 by the English geologist Charles Lyell to encompass the time during which Earth had been ‘tenanted by man’. Most game modes will still be present in Legacy Evolve thanks to peer-to-peer multiplayer, with the one exception being the ranked Hunt mode.Anything you unlocked in Evolve Stage 2 on PC will carryover into Legacy Evolve. If you own it on the PC, then you'll be able to play it by opting into a specific beta branch on Steam ( instructions are provided here). So, if you own a retail version of the original Evolve game on a console, then you're fine to keep playing it as (presumably?) you already have been. Here's where things get a bit more interesting. Legacy Evolve will still be playable on all platforms after Evolve Stage 2 is shutdown.This kind of stuff always seems a bit sketchy ("we're shutting this game down, but you can still buy stuff!"), however, it appears that if you do decide to buy Gold Keys using the premium currency and unlock hunters/skins/whatever with those keys, then you'll still be able to use those things if you play Legacy Evolve. Virtual currency bundles will be available for purchase until July 2, 2018.Servers will be shutdown, the in-game store will be done, and you won't be able to play at all. Evolve Stage 2 is officially ending on September 3, 2018.It's worth noting a few things about all of this. I guess that business model never caught on as 2K announced just a few days ago that they are officially shutting it down. We’ll also continue to evaluate the possibility of bringing the Stage 2 experience to consoles in the future, though right now our focus is on bringing in new players and maintaining the game’s audience on PC. Will continue to be free-to-play on PC and players can expect the in-game experience to remain the same, as we continue to experiment with the business model. That pretty much looked like the writing on the wall, then, but 2K said they'd keep the servers up and the game: While that may have opened the title up to a new group of players, it still wasn't enough to pull the title from the brink as just a few months after all that, Turtle Rock Studios parted ways with (or was removed from) the game's development altogether. There were was some promise and interesting ideas, but it never really seemed to "click." The following summer (2016), the dev studio shifted the game to be strictly free-to-play on the PC (ditching PS4 and Xbox One) and retitled it Evolve Stage 2. Turtle Rock Studios' 4 v 1 FPS title originally launched in 2015 on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. 2K has announced that Evolve Stage 2 will be shutdown on September 3, 2018. “We have lots of stuff in the works that we hope you’ll enjoy but we are departing on the Laurie-Anne for the last time and must bid a farewell to the planet Shear.If we're all being honest with one another, this is a day that felt like it was just a matter of time. “Those of you who’ve followed Turtle Rock Studios, this is not goodbye,” they said. With 2K saying they’ve taken “the operation of the Evolve franchise fully in-house,” Turtle Rock revealed that this isn’t the end for them. They went on to thank the people at THQ who initially believed in them, 2K for “picking up the mantle out of THQ’s bankruptcy and making Evolve one of the most anticipated games of 2015,” and 2K once again for taking a AAA game free-to-play. We got to hunt down, trap and kill giant monsters together. We got to go to planet Shear and interact with alien flora and fauna. We are happy to have gotten the opportunity to do something risky, something new and innovative. We all know that going in but we still sign the dotted line because we love what we do. This is the life of AAA game developers who aren’t self-funded and don’t own their own IP. “There’s a lot that we really wish we could have done, especially taking Stage 2 to consoles, but it looks like that’s just not meant to be,” they said.Įlsewhere in the letter, Ashton and Robb said the decision to stop working on Evolve wasn’t up to them: In a letter from Turtle Rock Co-Founders Chris Ashton and Phil Robb, they made it seem as though Stage 2 isn’t coming to consoles. Evolve Stage 2 will continue to be free-to-play on PC and players can expect the in-game experience to remain the same, as we continue to experiment with the business model. These abilities are dished out periodically through each match are what set the game apart from being considered a Tetris clone. The second addition is what gives the game multiplayer depth, each player has the ability to interfere with their opponents tower or improve their own with “light and dark magic”, controlled through dedicated buttons. This means you have the option of frantically stacking mismatched pieces atop each other to race to precarious victory or take it slowly attempting to build a solid foundation. The games primary ‘Race’ Mode, challenges you to build your tower to a certain height before your competitors, which seems simple enough until you factor in the games clever mechanics.įirstly, more freedom is granted to the player in that their tower is not locked in space, and each block has weight and balance, instead of naturally adhering to each other as in classic Tetris. Here to give me a fun reason to fight with my flatmate, is cartoon-ish puzzler Tricky Towers.Ī fundamentally multiplayer experience, Tricky Towers can be played between 1-4 players, locally or online and while it may look functionally similar to Tetris, interesting gameplay tweaks give it a fresh and occasionally frustrating twist. Everyone has had at least one game of monopoly that has caused them to briefly love a significant other significantly less. I think we can call agree that the best multiplayer games have nearly ruined friendships.

After all, it isn’t until “30 Days and 30 Nights” that we see Kyle fighting fires again. Maybe this separation could be beneficial in that regard. Superman & Lois is well into its second season, and it still feels as though we don’t know Kyle as best as we could. For one, Kyle could use some independence, as Lana states. Their relationship, much like Jordan and Sarah’s, doesn’t seem to be serving either one of them beneficially.

The show needs to unpack their history and grief and dedicate time to their stories to ensure they have a future.Īlternatively, Superman & Lois doesn’t instill much confidence for a future where Lana and Kyle rekindle their marriage, and maybe that’s for the best. Wolé Parks and Tayler Buck’s work together in this episode is so grounded and rewarding. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that Natalie and John Henry are from another Earth, and then Superman & Lois packs a ton of feelings into a waffles recipe to deliver a gut-punch reminder. Superman & Lois - “30 Days and 30 Nights” - Pictured (L-R): Tayler Buck as Natalie Irons and Wolé Parks as John Henry Irons - Photo: Shane Harvey/The CW - (C) 2022 The CW Network, LLC. An obvious standout is between Natalie and John Henry as they grapple with the anniversary of their Lois’ death. Much of this episode tackles children’s dynamics with their fathers in touching ways. It’s quite fun to see them team up rather than argue, but there is some of that in “30 Days and 30 Nights.” It speaks to the strengthening of her relationship with Sam that her guard slips the most around him. It’s heartbreaking to watch her get into their bed alone and stare at Clark’s coat and glasses and all the places he should be. So, Lois is allowed to let this get to her. Related Preview - Superman & Lois Season 3 Episode 5: Head On Lois Lane is intrepid, fierce, and intelligent, but it’s not every day that the love of her life willingly goes into an alternate reality’s portal to save the day. Superman & Lois - “Girl…You’ll Be A Woman, Soon” - Pictured: Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane - Photo: Bettina Strauss/The CW - (C) 2022 The CW Network, LLC. Though Superman & Lois doesn’t dwell on Clark and Lois’ past often, it’s almost undeniable that Lois would have covered for a covert Superman mission at some point or another.Įlizabeth Tulloch remains excellent and one of the series’ strongest performers as she exquisitely showcases Lois’ struggle to shoulder that burden this time around. That personal change elevates the fraught dynamic between Jordan and Lois, as Lois grapples with a gut feeling that this Superman mission is unlike any others. Jordan’s confidence in his abilities tetters towards arrogance in an entirely believable way for a teenager with superpowers whose dad also happens to be Superman. Superman & Lois - “30 Days and 30 Nights” - Pictured: Wolé Parks as John Henry Irons - Photo: Shane Harvey/The CW - (C) 2022 The CW Network, LLC. Luckily, that scene also creates more drama within the family dynamic, circling back to Superman & Lois‘ central themes. So, Steel’s suit improvements are utterly cool in action, and it’s exhilarating to watch him briefly team up with Jordan. According to the show’s canon, it also means that someone has to step in for the caped hero. Superman’s absence means that Superman & Lois can lean on its other characters even more. Plus, on a character level, it’s exciting and sometimes emotional to watch Jordan walk in his father’s footsteps. Superman & Lois - “30 Days and 30 Nights” - Pictured: Tayler Buck as Natalie Irons - Photo: Shane Harvey/The CW - (C) 2022 The CW Network, LLC. The use of slow-motion is effective and never exhaustive. How Superman & Lois showcases the development and execution of Jordan’s powers is jaw-dropping. The montage to show the passage of time feels reminiscent of superhero movies on the big screen. “30 Days and 30 Nights” doesn’t let up there. Once again, this show brings blockbuster effects to the small screen in how Superman leaves Earth-Prime to go to the Inverse World - Bizarro World, if you will. Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 9, “30 Days and 30 Nights,” proves the series can temporarily exist without the Man of Steel because of its strong ensemble.

Just follows the dots to edit GarageBand’s software instruments. Just hold down the Command key and click in the grid where you’d like to place your notes. And if you’d like to add notes, you can do that as well. You might do this, for example, if the organ chord that ends your piece holds out longer than the other instruments. You can additionally change a note’s length by dragging on its right edge. You can move selected notes not only up and down to change their pitch (so correct that Eb you played instead of a D) but also change their timing by moving them to the left or right. So, if you’ve recorded a piano track, click on a note pitched at Middle C and that’s exactly what will emerge from your Mac’s speakers or headphones. When you click on a dot, that note will sound using the instrument assigned to the track. The horizontal span of the grid represents time (and you can see that time divided into bars and beats at the top of the grid). The longer they are, the longer their duration. The higher the dots on the grid, the higher pitched the notes are. GarageBand is a music processor meaning that, like a word processor, you have the ability to correct your mistakes. Thankfully we’re no longer living in the days of tape where you either played every note and chord perfectly or relied on a very talented engineer with a box of razor blades. And while I expect that many of you have done so perfectly, there may be a person or two who has hit a clunker. How to “play” GarageBand’s instruments with an external keyboard, onscreen keyboard, and even the Mac’s keyboard. Given that, I’d like to wrap up my look at the application by pointing out a few of its nuances that the majority of would-be GarageBand users will find helpful. Features that I find fascinating may appeal to only a few of you and I’d rather not tax your patience. As a writer/musician who’s spent a lot of time with GarageBand over the years, I must resist the temptation to explore its every nook and cranny simply because I’m enthusiastic about it. |
