![]() If it can also remove the need for producers to recast iconic roles every time an actor grows too old, there may be no end to its bounties.A bit of sleuthing has uncovered concept art for Iron Man in the debug version of the Spider-Man 3 game from way back in 2007. The cinematic universe era has the potential to solve many of modern Hollywood’s starkest problems, offering studios the safety of audience familiarity without the need for endless, increasingly insipid sequels and remakes. In the comics, Tony even became the AI advisor to Williams’ Ironheart after being left in a coma. If a new Iron Man really is needed, there’s every argument that Stark should be the man to choose his successor and perform a subsequent mentoring role. ![]() Downey Jr could be forced back into action in emergencies, or might even perform his heroism remotely – a trick he pulls off with aplomb in Homecoming. There needn’t even be a definitive retirement of that famous suit. All this adds to the MCU’s sense of internal logic, and it’s hard to argue that this would be further buoyed by allowing Downey Jr to continue growing old disgracefully in these films, even as younger actors take on the more central roles. In the rare instance where actors have baulked at a return – Terrence Howard as War Machine, Edward Norton as the Hulk – producers have moved smartly to line up credible replacements. It has meant that Thor has always been played by Chris Hemsworth, Black Widow by Scarlett Johansson, Captain America by Chris Evans and so on. One of the reasons Marvel has been the studio’s determination to secure its key cast on long-term contracts. It would be hardly be a shock if something similar happened in the on-screen MCU. In the comics, Stark handed over the metal suit to 15-year-old Riri Williams, AKA Ironheart, last year. By then, the actor will be 54, and perhaps more suited to a role just left of centre stage. You have to wonder whether Marvel has considered allowing Downey Jr to take on the mentor role full-time once the next Avengers sequel, Infinity War, is done. Iron Man’s relative absence doesn’t really register, but the film would be damaged deeply if Stark had taken the day off. Stark offers Tom Holland’s teenage wall-crawler something to aspire to – a job with the Avengers – and gives off an avuncular rock-star cool that contrasts nicely with Parker’s deeply green early efforts at superheroism. But the billionaire industrialist, with his haphazard mentoring of the Pater Parker, is crucial to the movie’s success. Iron Man himself, metal body armour and all, only appears fleetingly in Homecoming. ![]() But there’s no reason for him to step aside, even if the current swath of Marvel movies keeps running until 2050. The 52-year-old is once again hinting at a departure from the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man, saying that he has one eye on “hanging up my jersey before it’s embarrassing”. ![]() Spider-Man: Homecoming, out in the UK this Friday, offers up a suitable template for such innovations, if Robert Downey Jr can only be persuaded to play ball. ![]()

Escape characters are not supported in the console, however Unity-formatted Rich Text is.Īs with a traditional console, you can use the Up and Down arrow keys to cycle through previously entered commands, and use the Tab key to complete partially entered commands and parameters (but only object instances of the parameter type) to save having to type them out. If the parameter contains spaces, enclose it, or the entire parameter section, in quotes to prevent the whitespace being flagged as the end of a parameter. Note that most commands are NOT case sensitive. Here, "GiveItem" is the command, and "Item_Pet_Kaz" is its parameter. To suppress errors in Deadfire, you can prefix the command with example of a typical console command is as follows: While the Deadfire console will output feedback on every command - and usually nothing if the command is successful - note that the console in Pillars of Eternity will not display errors, making it tricky to find out what went wrong, if anything. Errors and output messages are shown in the combat log. Unlike a traditional console, all parameters must be entered otherwise the console will return an error. Parameters are named to give some indication as to what they are for, or what information is expected.Įach command may define any number of parameters (or sometimes none) that are required as part of the command. Most commands have parameters (also called "arguments"), that are entered after the command and describe information that the command should act on. Internally, each command is mapped to a function (or "method"), which is a block of code that actually carries out the command. Also note that the combat log/output is not visible while on the world map, which can make observing the result of entered commands difficult.Ī command is an instruction that defines something that the game should do or change. The console can be opened up in-game, and in the main menu - but not during loading screens. Note that in Pillars of Eternity after pressing the console key, the Enter key (right thumbstick on console) must be pressed before entering a command (and then again to actually submit the command). To rebind the console key, go to Options (by pressing Esc in-game) > Controls > Interface > Toggle Console, and bind it to your key of choice. A physical keyboard may also be plugged in to make inputting commands easier. ![]() After entering the command, press enter to finalize input, it can be submitted by clicking the right thumbstick again. On home consoles, the console can be opened by holding down the left trigger (LT on Xbox, L2 on PS4), then clicking in the right thumbstick (RS on Xbox, R3 on PS4). The main purpose of the console is to give developers and modders the ability to test underlying systems and mechanics on any regular copy of the game, and players the freedom to explore and tinker without restriction.įor most keyboard layouts the default key that opens the console is either backtick ( ` - same key as tilde ~, found above tab, to the left of the 1 key on a US keyboard), or "o with diaeresis" ( ö found below P, to the right of the L key on a Swedish keyboard). ![]() ![]() The web page for the DLC just shows clips from the story, though the fact that Judy and Johnny Silverhand appear could suggest that they will be part of the DLC. We do not officially know what will be included in the free and paid DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 as of yet. What is included in the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC? These are expected to release after the free DLC and next-gen console ports of the game. Meanwhile, the promised expansions will be much larger and deliver massive questlines for players to complete. The free DLC is most likely just going to be smaller scale cosmetics or quests. The DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 will be a mix of free and paid DLC, just like with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. DLC was discussed in CD Projekt Red's apology video, which you can watch below: A trailer for the DLC, and definitely the expansions, will likely be released before they launch. While CD Projekt Red has promised DLC for Cyberpunk 2077, they have not actually shown it off yet. Is there a trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 DLC? We won't know for sure until CD Projekt Red officially reveals it. As it's not on the roadmap above, we might not get the first Cyberpunk 2077 expansion until 2022. It's common for games with troubled releases like Marvel's Avengers to push back DLC in order to fix the game first. Whatever plans CD Projekt Red had for it was probably pushed back slightly after the game's tough launch. Don't expect the first DLC March at the earliest, if CD Projekt Red sticks to that roadmap.Īs for the promised expansions, those have no concrete release date. From there, they can release working DLC across every platform. CD Projekt RedĪfter all of the backlash the game has received, it is clear that CD Projekt Red wants to focus on releasing their two major promised patches first to get the game in a working state on all platforms. If the free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 follows a similar release schedule to DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, this free DLC should be released in waves over the course of several months following Patch 1.2.ĬD Projekt Red is focusing on fixing bugs first, and will then move onto DLC and the next-gen ports. ![]() Previously, CD Projekt Red announced a vague early 2021 release window on the game's website While they didn't give a specific date, it appears that the free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 will drop after Patch 1.2, so they will be released over the course of spring and summer 2021. ![]() ![]() In that video, they released a timeline showing what post-launch support of the game would look like. On January 13, CD Projekt Red published a video apologizing for the state of Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. When is the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC release date? While the January and February bug fix patches might prove to be some of the game's most important, here's what we know about the DLC that is also planned for 2021. While CD Projekt Red works hard to fix those issues, the developer has also confirmed both free and paid DLC for Cyberpunk 2077. The game was released with tons of bugs across all platforms and was nearly unplayable on base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles due to frame rate and texture problems. Cyberpunk 2077 DLC is still on the way despite the game's extremely rocky launch. ![]() ![]() THIS BRUTAL CLOSE QUARTER FIGHTING SHOWED THE TENACITY OF LIVINGSTON AND HIS MARINES,&ANOTHER MARINE, JAY VARGAS WAS ALSO AWARDED THE MEDAL OF HONOR FOR HIS VALOR DURING THIS BATTLE.

Your country has asked you to forgo your normal personal and professional routine for a couple of months in the war against COVID-19. But let’s make one thing clear: It is impossible to characterize the actions of those who are protesting orders to stay at home as courageous or heroic. Of course, our First Amendment gives them the right to protest. That they have to take precious time from getting desperately needed rest or being with their families to counter these protesters makes my blood boil. They find themselves at the tip of the spear as we combat this pandemic.

She can also tell you where a good restaurant is nearby, flip a coin, find books by a specific author, set an alarm, give you directions and even set a reminder that will activate only when it recognises that you're in, or have left, a certain location ("pick up dry cleaning", when you leave work, for example). Otherwise, Siri can help you when you're out and about, in the car if you have a CarPlay compatible car, with sports and entertainment information, phone calls and messages, getting organised, tips and tricks and of course, giving you answers.Īt a glance, she will read your last email, text your friend to tell them you're running late, shuffle your road trip playlist on Apple Music, let you know what films are playing today, find a table for three in London or call your dad at work. If you want to get a giggle out of Siri rather than ask her to do something serious, then check out our guide to the best Siri Easter Eggs. She's pretty damn clever and sometimes she is quite funny too. On HomePod and HomePod mini, you can press the home button in the centre of the top of the device. On some devices, you might need to wait for Siri to appear before you make your request. For Face ID iPhones ( iPhone X and newer), hold down the side power/wake button. If you have a Touch ID iPhone ( iPhone 6S or later) hold down the Home button, then say what you need. You can invoke Siri by using buttons, too. You can ask Siri to carry out a task by just saying "Hey Siri" to your iPhone, AirPods, connected Bluetooth headsets, Apple Watch, HomePod or HomePod mini. Ultimately, Siri does all the legwork for you. Siri has access to every other built-in application on your Apple device - Mail, Contacts, Messages, Maps, Safari and so on - and will call upon those apps to present data or search through their databases whenever she needs to. You can ask her questions, tell her to show you something or issue her with commands for her to execute on your behalf, hands-free. Siri is designed to offer you a seamless way of interacting with your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, HomePod or Mac by you speaking to her and her speaking back to you to find or do what you need. The idea is that you talk to her as you would a friend and she aims to help you get things done, whether that be making a dinner reservation or sending a message. So what is special about Siri? What is she able to do, how does she do it and what can she help you with if you are an Apple user? Here is everything there is to know about Siri.Īs we mentioned, Siri is a built-in, voice-controlled personal assistant available for Apple users. She has also had to keep up with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant. Siri has developed with age. Her intelligence has grown and her abilities have expanded. Considering that Apple may still have a Google Maps replacement in the wings, it certainly seems as if the company is making more of an effort to separate itself from Google, though both Apple and Google publicly insist that their relationship is still strong.(Pocket-lint) - Siri is Apple's voice-controlled personal assistant and she, or he, has been around for several years now. The assistant first appeared on the iPhone 4S but Siri is also available on iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod and the Mac ( macOS Sierra and later) - check out our guide to Siri on macOS. If Apple chooses to integrate Siri's technology into the iPhone OS, Google's Voice Search app would be redundant for many users-after all, if the OS can do it, why bother downloading an extra app that does less? That's probably the point. The app will then determine what service you need-a basic list of search results, a Yelp review page, a reservation through OpenTable, etc.-and list out your options along with maps and other data. With the app running, users can speak what they're looking for ("What movies are playing nearby?" or "Make a reservation at Francesca Forno for two people at 6pm"). News that the company was acquired first appeared in an FTC premerger notification (PDF) and was confirmed by Silicon Alley Insider and others.įor those who have already played around with Google's search app for the iPhone, Siri's voice search capabilities will appear quite similar, but it goes further than just showing search results. Apple could be planning to expand its voice command capabilities on the iPhone thanks to the pending acquisition of Siri, which makes an iPhone app that lets users perform Web searches by voice command. ![]() ![]() The Power of the Dog leaves you in no doubt that he became proficient in them all. That just left braiding, roping, ironmongery, hide-treating, hay-stacking, whistling, whittling and the banjo. “Wonderful just to get back in the saddle.” (“Though,” he adds, “it was a Western, so it’s a different style”.) According to Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel, the elder Burbank is “a great reader, a taxidermist, skilled at braiding rawhide and horsehair, a solver of chess problems, a smith and metalworker, a collector of arrowheads (even fashioning arrowheads himself with greater skill than any Indian), a banjo player, a fine writer, a builder of hay-stacking beaver-slide derricks, a vivid conversationalist”.Īll the horse-riding Cumberbatch was fine with, having covered that one off in the 2011 movie War Horse. Cumberbatch plays Phil Burbank, a swaggering ranch owner in early 20th-Century Montana who torments the wife of his younger brother, George. It wasn’t just a party trick.”īut he really had his work cut out on The Power of the Dog, the fairly mind-blowing Western that is the first film in thirteen years from one of the world’s great directors, Jane Campion ( The Piano, Bright Star). “That is me doing it though I can’t do it with both hands. “I did a lot of the painting that you see in the film,” Cumberbatch says. For The Electrical Life of Louis Wain, about an eccentric Edwardian artist whose pictures of big-eyed cats playing cards, doing the washing up, etc bought him a big audience but little money, he enlisted the help of Wain’s long-time art dealer, Chris Beetles. Two for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home, and two others in which his love of research proved especially useful. He currently has four films awaiting release. A bit of showmanship.”Ĭumberbatch has been busy. It was a University of Nottingham Engineering Club Tie. It’s what he wears on show trial, it’s what he wears when he comes out of prison, it’s what he wears before he was ever embroiled in this whole thing’. “I said ‘This tie’s in every single photograph of him. “Things come out of leftfield that pull you in the direction of understanding a character.” (When it comes to espionage, it turns out you can’t trust anyone.) The Courier, then, needed to be one Hollywood biopic that relied less on its source material to try and get to the truth. Much of what Wynne described was either wrong or simply couldn’t have taken place. A real-life businessman recruited by MI6 during the Cold War as a go-between with Soviet asset Oleg Penkovsky, the late Wynne had left behind two books detailing his exploits. On the face of it, the story of Greville Wynne, the character Cumberbatch plays in his most recent film, The Courier, offered rich pickings. Benedict Cumberbatch is a diligent researcher of the lives of his characters, both fictional and non-fictional. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nintendo Switch amiibo Black Friday deals

These are converted to Roman towns through invading them and defeating the inhabitants. Invading Armies differ from later games as well, in that Barbarian towns exist within many provinces from which Barbarian armies can emanate. Also unlike later games walkers are not required to bring services to people, which is instead determined by one buildings distance from another. The player builds primary industry (such as mines or farms), trade facilities (such as roads or docks), and military facilities(such as forts and walls) on one map and builds their city houses, secondary industry (such as wineries or potters), and tertiary industry (such as fire stations, police stations, bath houses) on another (represented as four squares in the center of the provincial map). Unlike Caesar III, or Pharaoh, the province and city are separate spheres, as is the military. A computerized rival also completes missions both preventing the player from civilizing that province and allowing them to civilize the provinces adjacent to it (the computer has been known to civilize a province it could not have selected when it successfully civilized the last, meaning it is a randomized event, rather than AI). When a province is civilized it unlocks the surrounding provinces. Players have the opportunity to civilize adjacent barbarian provinces, eventually reaching the entire Roman Empire at its height.
