![]() ![]() ![]() Foregone Conclusion: The very title already gives away that the protagonist defeats the Grinning Colossus by burning the rope.Floating Platforms: You have to go across some of these in order to get to the rope that must be burned.Flechette Storm: The main character can do this if you type fast enough.Falling Chandelier of Doom: What happens when you burn the rope.Eye Beams: The Grinning Colossus's signature attack.Then it asks you So What Do We Do Now? that you beat the game. It doesn't explain anything rather, it just reviews the entirety of the game. Expository Theme Tune: A rather strange version of this is seen in "Now You're a Hero," the end credits song.Excuse Plot: Taken to the point that there barely even is a plot.Exact Words: You have to burn the rope, you can't cut it with your axes.Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The title of the game is also the goal of the game.Easter Egg: After you read the instructions, right-click.Developer's Foresight: You actually can deplete the boss's health with the axes through a hack, but the game will still keep the boss alive.Credits Montage: The end credits show a montage of the events of the game.Credits Gag: The credits includes the phrase "Special thanks to Umami".Closing Credits: They play at the end of the game.Unfortunately, the Colossus's Healing Factor means even getting it down to no health will not kill it in this manner. The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: While the instructions claim that you cannot hurt the Grinning Colossus with your weapons, it is in fact possible.It does however get rid of his torch, forcing him to get another one. Collision Damage: Subverted in that while the protagonist does react to running into the Grinning Colossus, he can't really die.Chekhov's Gun: The torch you pick up halfway through the game plays a vital role in defeating the final boss.Breakout Character: The Grinning Colossus also appears as a boss in other web games Death vs Monsters 2, Anti-Idle: The Game, and Pickory.Bottomless Magazines: You have axes galore in your Hammerspace, but they are completely useless now.(Every 2nd time Indiana/Hero takes the quest, he faces this Colossus. The relation to him and Grinning Colossus, without a "The". Besides moving and looking around, THAT IS ALL HE CAN DO. The Grinning Colossus is skilled in eyeball laser-fu. After his demise, he is still famous, especially known from his appearance on Greatest Athletes of Not Humans for his luge skeelz. On his 65 1/2th birthday, he was faced with Indiana Kirby, who proceeded to Burn the Rope, and save us all from an unclarified doomsday device that he has. In his 60s, he entered his most famous persona, The Grinning Colossus, along with this being the time when he bought a(later fatal)chandelier. ![]() He moved into the Small Labrynth, where he stayed in solitary confinement, first voluntarily, then, when he entered his 30s, when he became known as the "Smiling Huge Thing", because he could not get out of the house he bought. He is parented by the Cheshire Cat and Colossette (Colossus(of the X-men)'s daughter), though his father was hardly ever entirely there, often confusing him with his "Advice". As a child, it was merely the smiling big thing. The Grinning Colossus is easily the hardest boss in the game. ![]()

![]() ![]() It takes a lot of days to make, even up to 1000. This is a base that takes away almost the whole map and it has everything you can think of. The only cons can be the fact that you need to download a mod for this to work, and if you are not a fan of those, this base doesn’t work for youĬombining the Geometric Placement Mod with your imagination and a lot of work, you get a Mega Base.It shows a grid before placing an object and therefore making it look organized. You can download it in the Steam Workshop. The most practical base is the one where you use the Geometric Placement Mod. If not planned correctly, it can lose its functionality over the aesthetics.You'll get tons of compliments on all the DST forums.In this base you will find a lot of different turfs, statues, maybe even a potted fern or succulent here and there. They don’t care about anything but for their base to look good. This is for those who want their base to look like a fairytale. Always living in the dark and therefore using light sources all the time.Might go to the ground occasionally for some other resources that are not available underground.Caves are a good source of mushrooms, monster meat, and nightmare fuels. Good for farming Bunnymen, and if you find a place that can reach a few sun rays, you can also farm trees, grass, and twigs and live completely normal, just like you would on the ground, apart from annoying Hounds. Ideal base for summer as it is less hot, and to avoid hound waves completely. Wearing desert goggles cancels this out and you can see and walk normally. The reason why is because the Oasis desert is the only desert that has a sandstorm during the summer and therefore being an impossible one to walk through because of limited vision and movement. However, to be able to move in the Oasis desert during summer, you have to fish out the blueprint for the Desert Goggles. This is good for summer because during other times of the year the Lake doesn’t have water in it. Simple, your center of the base will be the Oasis Lake and everything else will be built around it. This is more of a good base location rather than a base layout. Can be easily caught on fire if not taken care of.Everything is on the reach of your hand.On the entrance, you will put tooth traps, and the surrounding area will be stone walls. Everything you need is inside the circle. None really, as you can develop your base eventually.The idea is to put everything around the Wormhole, leading to a very important biome, or even another, bigger base. This base is ideal for the summer when you don’t want to walk a long distance between biomes. Is in the eyes of trolls who like to destroy everything.Working on it together will make the base bigger quickly.Just make sure you put the Flingomatics away from your Fire Pits because it will extinguish those. That is why you have to put a few Lightning Rods and Ice Flingomatics to avoid your whole base catching on fire. You must think of natural disasters, such as Lightning or Fire in general. ![]() You need a storage area, with a bunch of Chests, as well as a resting station with 1 or a few tents. Additionally, a few Drying racks and a Birdcage should be present, for Jerky and Eggs production. A “kitchen” should also be there with 5-6 crock pots and an Ice Box. Your crafting station should be close to your light source in case you get an idea during the night and need to prototype something real quick. Put your main light sources, such as the Fire Pit, Endothermic Fire Pit, and the Scaled Furnace in the middle in front of the Portal. Doesn’t have everything you need while the game continuesįor Cooperative Servers, making a base next to a Portal is ideal because the other players won’t spend forever in a search for the base.Good for the first 10-15 days of gameplay.And if you plan on staying for a while, I recommend building a Bee box and a few farms, just so you can have a decent amount of food. Additional things are, of course, some grass tufts, saplings, trees, and berry bushes. Hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? For this type of base, you need a Fire Pit, Crock Pot, Ice Box, Alchemy Engine, Drying Rack, and a Tent. So, for example, you have your Chests on one Boat, your Drying Racks on the other, your Kitchen on the third, and so on. You build boats next to each other and put each category of things on a separate one. I thought I would include it in the list because I have seen a lot of players making this type of base. This base is more of an “I’ve been playing Don’t Starve Together for half of my life now, I am bored” base. ![]() ![]() ![]() This article will be divided into 2 parts, a text part, and a video part, as even those following the video will need to copy the commands to install NitoTV and Kodi.īefore we begin, I would like to advise you this is based on Apple TV 2 compatible software, this means NitoTV and Kodi will be older versions, let’s hope the developers bring us some new updates to applications compatible with this jailbreak!

Electricity and propane are sold separately.Īmenities include pickleball, indoor and outdoor swimming, miniature golf, horseshoes, paddleboats, volleyball, a hiking trail, and live music from the house band, Cheeks The Band. Some members live permanently at the resort on spaces leased for $3,200 a year. RV site and communal lodge rental rates range from $60 a day to $480 a week. ![]() There’s a rustic area for camping with the purchase of a daily membership ($38). In the summer, he employs around a dozen people. Hammond has invested nearly $1.5 million in in-frastructure improvements, including a water system, ground maintenance, and snow removal. When we came in, we assured everyone that this is now a business. “They didn’t treat the resort like a business,” Hammond explains. “They both got in trouble financially because it was their little toy. Turtle Lake’s previous owners were more mom and pop. “I was just in a bad mood that day,” he says with a smile. ![]() Get in your car and get off my property now.’” He looked at me and said, ‘That was my phone.’ I said, ‘You got part of that right. After throwing a visitor’s phone in the lagoon for breaking the rule, people got the message. Pictures are strictly prohibited, unless you receive special permission (we did). The CEO is more Boss Hogg than boardroom. Hammond’s shirt is open and blowing in the wind as he sips a Bud Light. We arrive at the Tiki Bar by the outside pool for a burger. Hammond and three partners took over Turtle Lake in 2003. “That situation happily resolved itself … there was no longer a need for ACNC.” Such was the case for the Apple Cider Nature Club, which was formed in the early 2000s, when the future of Turtle Lake was in doubt, says Bob Blackburn of the now-defunct club, by email. Its success meant smaller clubs could close shop and direct their members there. Turtle Lake is the only resort open year-round in Michigan. The clothing-optional business isn’t really that competitive. They’re just not going to do it on my property.”ĭennis Bevis, the owner of Cherry Lane, declined to comment. “We do not associate with lifestyle clubs,” explains Gary Moore of Whispering Oaks. “I’m not a moralist. But the outlier is Cherry Lane - what most nudists call an “alternative lifestyle” club for swingers. On paper, Turtle Lake, Spruce Hollow Campground in Mesick, Whispering Oaks Nudist Resort in Oxford, Forest Hills Club in Saranac (slogan: “Give Nudism a Try: Come See Us.”), and Cherry Lane Nudist Resort in North Adams, south of Jackson, seem to have only skin-deep differences. I mention the motorcycle rider, and he explains that a balance of the sexes is one way Turtle Lake, and other clothing-optional resorts, maintains its family-friendly atmosphere. Families with children are a regular presence here. The Lansing native speaks with a Midwestern twang that’s more western than mid. “This is a family-friendly resort that caters to couples,” Hammond says, waving to a naked couple passing by. ![]() … I just work here.”Īfter being put up in the lodge for the night, I meet Turtle Lake’s owner, Mark Hammond, for a golf cart tour of the grounds. She explains that the quota for singles has been met. Getting “in” is a matter of passing a flimsy security gate blocking the path to the grounds. “How about a day pass? I just want to use your pool and your hot tub,” he almost pleads. “I can give you a map and some informational things, but I can’t let you in,” the receptionist, a woman in her mid-50s, tells him. I arrived late afternoon at the front office behind a leather-clad man who rode a chopper. They would worship the sun, pray to the moon, and welcome me with open, toned arms. My mind raced with thoughts of ethereal beings: silky-haired, shapely women frolicking with tall, brawny men. I supposed the rest would be a walk in the park, though I wondered how true that would be. “The hardest thing you’ll do is take your clothes off,” I’m told when I made Memorial Day weekend reservations. You pass summer homes ensconced by aromatic woodlands. The woods give way to farmlands, where lots are measured in acres. After reaching a certain distance on Union City’s roads, it’s obvious to most locals that you’re on your way to Turtle Lake Resort. ![]() ![]() Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Societyįinal edit: There are a lot of new watchers looking for clarification on how to begin watching the series (whether they have to see the films first, is this all the same story, etc.). Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG Again, I'm not sure what do with Arise so for now I have included the TV version and followup film at the end of the watch. I'm going to take a few days to mull on the pacing for the watch of Stand Alone Complex, but it will likely start on that final August 30th Sunday. Probably we will save Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence for the following weekend, August 23rd. Second edit: We'll do the rewatch of Ghost in the Shell (1995) on Sunday August 16th. We might go with one thread every second day covering two episodes. I don't know how much I like the idea of doing daily threads, as I think people who don't keep up get caught in the mentality of being left behind and stop following the discussions. Episode pacing of three per two days is apparently not actually going to be so easy once school kicks back into gear. I'm not super interested in bringing Arise into this, but if there is interest we might as well.įirst edit: August 16th is still the time I'd like to start it, but I've sought advice from higher powers. We'd start with the films ( GitS 1995, and its sequel GitS: Innocence), then work through Stand Alone Complex and 2nd Gig (ending with Solid State Society) I think the show would work at a pace of three episodes per two days, as there is heaps to take in and talk about in the threads. I'd like to start it on Sunday 16th August (to allow for the popular Kara no Kyoukai rewatch to finish beforehand). Its a damn masterpiece, and we shouldn't let the newer anime fans go without experiencing it. Let's all do a Ghost in the Shell series rewatch. Today I saw someone write off the 1995 film as not having enough character development. I can't tell if there is an attitude of "it goes without saying how good it is" or if users here simply haven't experienced it. Yoko Kanno even did the soundtrack for Stand Alone Complex. I don't think I've ever even seen the genius depiction of The Laughing Man brought up in a discussion. Even Hollywood has thrown away I don't know how many millions of dollars on failed adaptations that try to capture its brilliance. No one talks about the influence Ghost in the Shell had on the cyberpunk genre (they all say to watch fecking Psycho Pass), yet there are such iconic scenes that have bled into countless aspects of western popculture. Motoko didn't even make it past the first round (she barely even made it into the brackets at all). ![]() Even in the Best Girl Contest I see Rei, Asuka, and Faye holding their own until inevitably being wiped out by some throwaway seasonal character. Neon Genesis is constantly brought up and fought over with regards to its many interpretations, and Cowboy Bebop stands as one of the gateway anime people tout for just how cool it is (it is so cool) with one of the most iconic soundtracks (Yoko Kanno is a genius). In discussion on r/anime though, I feel like one of these shows gets left behind. They speak on a universal level.īluntly speaking, I think they're damn masterpieces. All three of these shows span broad worlds that play on the culture of our own. Fears about the future, regret about the failures in our history, and the struggles of dealing with what is happening right now. They feature very human characters and play on ideas almost everyone can relate to in modern society. They work without needing insight into Japanese culture and they can be appreciated without having to be fluent in the hundreds of stupid tropes and quirks that anime typically plays on (often as a crutch to cover up generally mediocre writing). Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, and Ghost in the Shell. For me, I have three anime series I would absolutely recommend to anyone I think can appreciate great storytelling. ![]() |
