![]() Whereas the game opened in 2013 before jumping to the apocalyptic future of 2033, the show opens in 2003 before eventually jumping to 2023. The Timeline ChangesĪs we’ve previously discussed, The Last of Us’ pilot episode quickly establishes that the show follows a slightly different timeline from the games. As we’ll soon see, this was just one of the many ways the show added new material to the game in the name of worldbuilding. ![]() The team said they were originally going to utilize a David Attenborough-style opening, but felt that the roundtable format was a bit sleeker and more entertaining. The showrunners have previously stated that they felt this intro helped set the stage by informing viewers that the people in this show were aware of that threat on a least some level before it actually happened. ![]() As you probably know, that suggestion turned out to be tragically prophetic. During that panel, one of the researchers suggests that the greatest threat to humanity is actually a fungal infection accelerated by global warming (though those words aren’t used). It opens with a snippet from a fictional 1968 TV program in which a host discusses global apocalyptic scenarios with two researchers (always a pleasant bit of programming). Whereas the game’s opening takes us back to the early days of the Cordyceps infection (more on that in a bit), the show goes even further back in time than that. If you spot any significant changes you think we missed, though, let us know about them in the comments. Instead, we’ve primarily focused on changes that either impacted The Last of Us‘ overall narrative (or specific character arcs) in significant ways or notably altered a memorable event from the game. While you’ll find a list of those differences below, keep in mind that we’re emphasizing the word “major.” That means this article doesn’t reference things like different camera shots, different actors, or even slightly different dialog sequences. Of course, as with all adaptations, there are some major differences between the HBO series and its source material. While many predicted that the show had the potential to be the finest live-action adaptation of a video game ever, it really was remarkable to see all the ways the show successfully adapted the game’s legendary story. The Last of Us first season is finally over. But I guess lots of people will think twice before wanting another sequel.This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us HBO show and The Last of Us Part 1 game. Well, sequel is great and was worth waiting. As for the graphics design, combat modes and atmosphere, it is totally fantastic. One star down for unnecessary double ending. So it is thought-provoking, which is great and beyond what ou expect from game story. Yes, at the end you might wish you didnt play it and just stick with ending of first part, but isn't it what life really is about? Us remebering the good old days? Horrified what might future do to us? And is it really up to us to stop that wheel of violence? Or are we just trapped inside its never ending cycle? These and other thoughts I have during gameplay. I have to say, that one of the best things is, that this story doesnt give a **** about you. A really needed perspective, a thing, that we all need to hear in todays world. It develops around the theme of neverending violence, and how it destroys us in the end.

![]() ![]() ![]() Most PCs are coming out of the box with the new operating system. That being said, it's getting less and less likely you'll buy a new laptop with Windows 10. You can find the system requirements for Windows 11 here. The Windows-based picks on this list should be ready to run Windows 11. It has the same chip as the 13-inch version, however, so it should be similar. Apple has a new 15-inch MacBook Air, but we haven't tested that just yet. We checked out the M2 Pro and M2 Max in the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros. The standard M2 can be found which you can find in the 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. On Macs, Apple's top chip are the M2 series. AMD's first laptops with its 7040U series chips are shipping, though we've mostly seen them in gaming systems so far. Those are broken into 28-watt P-series chips for performance and 15-watt U-series for the slimmest designs. Intel's most recent chips are its 13th Gen "Raptor Lake" chips. Of course, there's always new tech coming down the pipe. These days, Intel tends to use its Evo standard to label its top ultrabooks, and you'll often see the name on sticker badges alongside Core i5 or i7. However, just as many people refer to tissues as Kleenexes or web searching as Googling, the term ultrabook commonly refers to any premium ultraportable laptop, whether it carries Intel’s seal of approval or not. Much of this occurred as the PC world was first catching up to the original MacBook Air. The “ultrabook” moniker was originally coined by Intel in 2012 and used to refer to a set of premium, super-thin laptops that met the chipmaker’s predefined standards. This self-propelled howitzer can provide indirect fire support over quite large distances. 105mm HMC M7 "Priest" 105mm Howitzer mounted on a modified M4 Sherman chassis led to 105mm M7 which was by Brits nicknamed "Priest".155mm M1 "Long Tom" Artillery Barrage Enables: The request of a heavy artillery barrage from a 155mm M1 "Long Tom" howitzer.M2 105mm Howitzer Enables Engineers to deploy the 105mm Howitzer to the battlefield.Off-Map Artillery Support Call in Artillery strike on designated target area.The M10 relies on its powerful 3 inch main gun and its speed to tackle enemy tanks.

Infantry units are highly vulnerable to heavy fire by machine guns (MG Squads, machine guns on vehicles for e.g.) and need good cover. ![]() There are several differences between the original Company of Heroes and the Blitzkrieg MOD. Keep your curve as low as possible throughout the run and send as much damage upstairs as possible. ![]() If you play it right, Gift of the Legion can deal a Pyroblast’s worth of damage by itself. Now, your best bet is a hyper-aggressive build that can leverage your Outcast-synergistic Hero Power and starting treasure. With Rogues becoming so effective at mowing you down in a few turns, they rendered aggressive Demon Hunter strategies redundant (at least until the launch of Madness at the Darkmoon Faire). Much like Shamans, Demon Hunters were one of the best classes on the release of Duels and promptly got nerfed to oblivion, though in this case their downfall was partly influenced by what happened to another class. If you’re looking for more time to execute your gameplan, Rocket Backpacks synergizes well with Athletic Studies and Recycling can also serve as a nifty tool to help you get to the point where you can wait no longer. Its hero power helps it get more mileage out of Caltrops than any other class, while Pillage the Fallen can meaningfully help speed up the game in your favor. Unlocked Potential is a sleeper thanks to its synergies with cards as varied as Armorsmith and Grommash Hellscream, but Warrior can utilise most of the common treasures with the right build. Same goes for the Menagerie shenanigans.ĪAEBAQcPHEvSAtQEjgWRBv8H1AiNDuLMA+PMA6fOA4rQA5PQA6vUAwAAīest passive treasure: From the Swamp has incredible synergy with your starting hero power, making it a nightmare for token-based aggressive opponents to contest your board. Brewster the Brutal doesn’t do enough for seven mana in Duels-an overly expensive removal/redraw tool that does nothing Warriors can’t take care of normally. The Auto-Armaments signature treasure makes it easier to cycle through your deck to find the combo cards. A starting deck chock full of survival tools followed by a two-turn kill setup is what you’ve got here, one greatly aided by the buff to the Warrior hero power (now down to just one mana). Greedy builds with Rattlegore are the current kings of the format. Grommash Hellscream to the face! That’s how most of your Warrior wins will conclude in Duels. Unfortunately, Band of Bees is now an ultra-rare treasure so you shouldn’t bank on finding it in pool 2. ![]() Try Cannibalism as a strong aggressive alternative. The addition of Grand Totem Eys’or to the summon pool has turned the class viable again, allowing you to build a surprisingly tall board purely out of totems.ĭeck code: AAEBAaoID/DUA+DMA/qqAvaqAuHMA+4B3+EDnM4D9c4Dp94D96oC/gWTCabRA/uqAgAAīest passive treasure: Recycling used to be a sleeper OP pick because it shuts down any burn-based strategies, and is a strong contender once again. This means you should stick with Fluctuating Totem for synergies. Primal Fusion and Thing from Below synergize well with Totem-specific strategies. Evolve can be an instant knockout punch on a wide board, while Flamewreath Faceless coupled with Lightning Bloom is a nightmarish early play. They got brutalized by a nerf, but are now primed for a comeback thanks to their strong Whispers of the Old Gods class cards. ![]() ![]() Shamans were the pacesetters in Duels early on. Examples are rashes caused by viruses, bacteria, toxins, and food or drug allergies. The cause of a widespread rash usually spreads through the blood stream.Many viral rashes are on the chest, stomach and back. Widespread rashes always occur on matching (both) sides of the body. Widespread can also mean on most of the body surface. Examples are both legs or the entire back. Widespread means the rash occurs on larger areas.Exceptions: athlete's foot can occur on both feet. Usually, the rash is just on one side of the body. Localized means the rash occurs on one small part of the body.Localized Versus Widespread Rash: How to Decide By the time the rash appears, the child feels fine.The rash starts 12 to 24 hours after the fever goes away.Classic feature: 3 to 5 days of high fever without a rash or other symptoms.Rash: pink, small, flat spots on the chest and stomach.Most children get Roseola between 6 months and 3 years of age.Drug rashes can't be diagnosed over the phone.Hence, the child is taking a fever medicine when the rash starts. Reason: most viral rashes start with a fever. Fever medicines (acetaminophen and ibuprofen) cause the most needless worry.Most rashes that occur while taking an OTC medicine are viral rashes.Non-prescription (OTC) medicines rarely cause any rashes.Prescription medicines sometimes cause widespread rashes.Reason: some serious infections that can cause this type of rash. All widespread rashes with fever need to be seen. Widespread blisters on the skin are a serious sign. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is an example. It can be caused by a bacterial bloodstream infection. Widespread purpura is always an emergency. It looks like purple or dark red larger spots. Unlike most pink rashes, petechiae don't fade when pressed on. This is a life-threatening bacterial infection of the bloodstream. ![]() Scattered petechiae with a fever are caused by Meningococcemia until proven otherwise. Petechiae are purple or dark red colored tiny dots. Caused by overgrowth of bacteria in hot tubs. Rash starts 12-48 hours after being in hot tub. Mainly occurs on skin covered by a bathing suit. Causes small red bumps that are painful and itchy. Non-flying insects are more likely to cause localized bumps. Flying insects can cause many bumps on exposed skin. Mainly involves neck, chest and upper back. Most cases of hives are caused by a virus. Rashes that are bumpy and itchy are often hives. Only 10% turn out to be allergic drug rashes. ![]() Most rashes that start while taking an antibiotic are viral rashes. No more serious than a Strep throat infection without a rash. Starts on upper chest and quickly spreads to lower chest and stomach. Scarlet Fever is a speckled, red rash all over. Not usually seen in children unless someone in the home has monkeypox. A rare viral rash that often starts on the face or genital area. A red blotchy rash appears around day 3 of the illness, first on the face and then on other areas. Symptoms include fever, red eyes, runny nose, cough, and spots on the inside cheeks. The measles virus is becoming more common among young children who do not get the routine childhood vaccinations including the MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) shot. It starts with tiny red spots and blisters on the palms and soles. ![]() This is the most common viral rash in the first 3 years of life. Your child may also have a fever with some diarrhea or cold symptoms. They occur on both sides of the chest, stomach and back. Viral rashes usually have small pink spots. Small spots, large spots or solid red skin.Sometimes, just on hands, feet and buttocks - but same on both sides of body. ![]()

Having a plan and implementing fire prevention practices are critical to limiting losses of human and animal life, buildings, and land.ĬONTACT: Melissa Newman, MS, PhD-859/257-5881- of Kentucky Department of Animal and Food Science, Lexington, Ky. summer wildfire have so dramatically shown, wildfires can be started by lightning strikes, humans (deliberately or accidentally), and sparks from vehicles or machinery. The likelihood of a wildfire increase dramatically when the fire danger is moderate to hight combined with a large number of dead trees in forested areas. Proper planning of new construction including the use of fire resistant materials can reduce this threat. Research from the Institute for Business and Home Safety and others has indicated that buildings located less than 15 feet apart are vulnerable to this type of fire spread. Keep all ignition sources away from combustible materials.įire can spread by hot embers dispersing to new fuel sources including buildings, hay, bedding, and manure.Upgrade your farm buildings to the latest National Electric Code.Develop barn and farm evacuation procedures and identify locations for sheltering your animals.Invite the local fire department to inspect your facility and provide suggestions. The incorporation of fuel breaks, strategic grazing, and landscaping with non-combustible materials and fire resistive plants can help reduce the risk of disaster (see "Tips to Protect Horses from Fire" sidebar). In an effort to mitigate the hazard of wildfire on the farm, owners should establish a defensible space by removing flammable vegetation from around houses, barns, machinery, and horses. ![]() Fire risk increases during times of drought and when abundant fuel sources are available, such as the case when dead trees and shrubs are present. Check with a cooperative Extension agent on the legal ways to dispose of trees, as transporting them to a secondary location can also spread the pest. The dead ash trees resulting from EAB infestation constitute a potential fire hazard, and should be removed from farms to protect horses and property. In the spring the adults emerge from the tree and fly a short distance to continue the life cycle. This ultimately leads to the death of the tree. The resulting larvae hatch from the eggs and then bore into the bark of the tree where they remain until spring, feeding on the critical inner bark and thus interfering with the tree's ability to utilize nutrients and water. During the EAB life cycle, the adult beetle will feed on the foliage of the as tree and lay eggs on the bark of the tree. As a result, the continued threat of this pest moving across the country is very real. The EAB has no natural predators and the use of insecticides is expensive and has variable results, depending on the product. While the threat of wildfires is unfortunately common in the western United States, states with EAB infestation could have an ever increasing threat of larger wildfires. According to the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the beetle has been confirmed in 20 states (see sidebar) as of Aug. The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmarie, is a beetle first discovered in 2002 in Michigan and Windsor, Ontario, and has killed ash trees by the tens of millions in North America. Horse owners recognize that fire prevention is critical on the farm, but might overlook threats from insect infestation on surrounding trees. ![]() You cannot raise your stamina past this point.
