![]() The Relic holder needs to let the rest of the team know this is about to happen - preferably just after dispatching an Oracle - so as many as possible can damage the Templar while it's vulnerable. You can charge your super by taking down Harpies as fast as possible. This is achieved by using the Relic's super when it charges. The second task the Relic holder must focus on is taking down the Templar's shield. You'll want to choose a less-squishy class to hold the Relic - or put it in the hands of your most skilled player. Their first and highest priority is to stay alive - if the Relic is dropped, you only have a few seconds to pick it up, and this can disrupt your entire team even if you make it. The player holding the Relic has the most important job as they'll have multiple roles see the boxout for control information. You won't need it during the Atheon fight. The left and right bumper together unleash a super - a blast of energy, something like a Warlock's super, which breaks the Templar's shield. This reduces the cooldown on using it again. ![]() You don't need to hold the button down just tap it and look for the message on-screen confirming the cleanse. The left bumper creates a bubble shield Guardians can shoot through, and cleanses the Relic holder and all Guardians in close proximity of Marks, which cause eventual death in the Templar encounter and blindness in the Atheon fight. You can perform a jumping version of this. The right trigger executes a stronger melee with a short dash. The right bumper executes a melee attack. The Relic is a special melee weapon, like the Sword of Crota, that replaces your ordinary load-out and locks you into third-person perspective. With that in mind: two Guardians on the left, two on the right, and one "floating" in the centre works well. You'll need to wipe to get everyone up there initially, though, and we're expecting Bungie to patch this out. There'll only be one at a time, with reasonable gaps in between, so it's not so bad.Īt time of writing, you can leave a few Guardians up on the spawn point to snipe oracles and call them out to players on the ground in fact, you can keep all but one player up here and just send the Relic holder down. ![]() They spawn in the same places, so spread out your team to ensure at least two Guardians are within reach of any spawn point. As in an earlier phase, you'll need to keep an eye out for Oracles. Until someone grabs the Relic you're completely safe, so spend a little time sorting out your strategy. The boss fight kicks off for real when you first pick up the Relic that appears in the centre of the room. There are several phase of encounter in the the Templar boss arena during which the souped-up Hydra floats about, completely immune to damage, and we're bypassing those. ![]() This section only concerns the battle with the actual Templar. We won't spoil the raid by giving a blow-by-blow solution to completing its many puzzles and encounters (unless you want that? let us know!) but we can tell you how to lay the smack down on the Templar and Atheon post-update. Bungie has been gradually plugging these holes, though, and the latest hot fix will really shake things up.ĭon't worry - we're here for you. Up until recently, some players used "cheese" strategies to take down the Templar and Atheon, the two major bosses. If you're good at shooters, communicate well, prepare and have good teammates, you won't have too much difficulty - but that's a big if. That said, as in every Destiny endeavour, a Sunsinger can save your entire party's bacon.Įveryone should bring at least half a dozen ammo synthesis packs of every kind.ĭestiny's first raid, the Vault of Glass, can be hard.

Given the surprising depth of Paper Monsters, you have to wonder why he waited 22 years before he confided in us. ![]() Hand-Made Worlds: Run and jump through more than 15 stages in 4 different worlds, each lovingly hand-crafted with tons of obstacles and secrets Battle Nasty Bosses: At the end of each world, youll have to square off against its boss. Gahan has described the making of this album as a liberating process.With most artists of his stature, this would more than likely involve a clumsy catharsis resulting in a crude ego trip. Paper Monsters is a wild adventure through some truly unforgettable landscapes. ![]() Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The game is implemented in a classic two-dimensional platformer with three-dimensional backgrounds, rendering detailed objects and bringing an overall pleasant. Other treats include "I Need You" - a relaxed, lo-fi electro number and "Hidden Houses" which is deliciously devilish and angelic in equal measure and demonstrates a vocal range rarely seen in the Mode back catalogue. The next season of Monster Ryan Murphy’s controversial crime anthologywill dive into one of the most infamous murder trials in American history. On the other hand, tracks such as "Hold On" and "Bitter Apple" are more serene, sensuous and well crafted. They are also the most reminiscent of Depeche Mode - sprawling and decadent.Yet it seems that minus Gore's melodramatic input, these songs become strangely optimistic and hopeful. "Dirty Sticky Floors" and "Bottle Living" both clearly reflect the hedonist that Gahan's image tends to conjure up (in the lead up to this album, he has revealed an alter-ego "Evil Dave" as the influence behind these tracks). Paper Monsters is produced by Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros) and co-writing credits go to Knox Chandler (ex-Psychedelic Furs guitarist and musical all-rounder).Despite this collaboration, the album is deeply autobiographical throughout. Comprising a series of sincere and polished narratives and drawing on many musical influences, you shouldn't expect a Depeche Mode album. So given his reticence in the past, it is a pleasant surprise to find that Paper Monsters is such an assured debut. Hey presto! You've made your own wonderful collage monster.As the iconic frontman of Depeche Mode, Dave Gahan has lived the archetypal rock 'n' roll lifestyle and has somehow lived to tell the tale, although for 6 minutes in 1996, he was clinically dead.Luckily, he survived this tormented period of his life, but while colleague Martin Gore has extensively explored solo territory (including current release, Counterfeit 2), it seemed slightly odd that Gahan had never seen the appeal of relaying his exceptional story on his own terms. Now slot the card into the pocket so it shows through the monster-shaped window. Tear and paste the papers, along with any scraps of old newspapers and magazines, to make a collage on the piece of card. Now go to the back of the book and take a piece of card and a few pieces of decorated paper. We have a two free monster body templates as well as monster eyes and mouths that you can use as many of as you would like to make a scary and impressive monster. ![]() Open up a spread: on the right-hand page is an inspirational collage illustration of a monster on the facing page, a paper pocket with a window cut to the same monster shape. At the back is an envelope with pieces of card and decorated papers to make the pictures. How It Works At the beginning of the book, there are step-by-step instructions showing how to make the collages. There they will discover the monsters at `monster school', and find a final collage to complete. Children can complete all the pictures to make a monster procession who appear to be hurrying to the last page. Paper Monsters enables young children to make seven collage pictures of monsters in cleverly designed paper pockets in the book. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.

![]() The artists, then, choose a lyric that carries meaning to them. Wakefield works with famous musicians and artists who choose one of their songs for Wakefield to work with. The process begins in a music recording studio. Photo of Tim Wakefield's soundwave art created using Dave Matthews Band's "Crash" (Spectrum News) Twelve years ago, he found a way to live out his lifelong dream by combining art, music and philanthropy to create visionary masterpieces that change the world. For the last 25 years, he has devoted much of his life to fundraising for causes that support social justice. Tim Wakefield is a visual artist whose lifelong dream has always been to work within the periphery of music. A person does not need to play an instrument or be a famous singer to experience music's power, and an Austin-based artist is proving that. Everyone experiences something different when they hear a song that moves them. While beauty is often said to be found in the eye of the beholder, one could also say that music is in the ear of the beholder.

I’ll always acknowledge the people who fought for me.” IF YOU GO “Thinking of the experiences of women in art, I realize I can’t take this for granted. She looks forward to meeting more women artists at the national event and continued participation in Women to Watch. We can’t command the realities we crave, but we can use our work to tell stories and build bridges of empathy.” “As women artists, we can’t separate ourselves from the politics of the world we live in. Williams says it’s an honor to work with so many women supporting women. “I’m 30 now and mapping the city by sound waves helped me think about it differently.” The memory of a place follows you your whole life,” she says. “I think about growing up here, having these dreams and fears at eight or nine years old. That stood out last summer with her acoustic location technology project in Augusta. The materials and documents which emerge from the physicality of my studio pilgrimages (are) a recognition of the impermanence of life as we pass through time.” “My work is about the memory of a place, but memory changes as the environment changes. “It’s a record of what was happening in the Arctic Circle at the time,” she says. The videos in the current exhibition start with that excursion. On a sailing trip from Norway to Russia after college, for instance, she recorded the sound of glaciers over a period of time, then converted the sound file and etched it into paper discs with a sewing needle. Williams uses electronics to collect data directly from landscapes, then translates it into drawings, animation or other digitally fabricated elements. That’s still a part of my work because you can’t separate culture, identity and history from the environment.” “Art was the place that I went to, like any angsty kid, with all the issues of the soul. “In my history as a person, dealing with things like being gay was difficult,” she says. Art school was the first time she considered art as a career. She attended Brown University and received a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, then an MFA with a concentration in time-based and interactive media at the University of Pennsylvania. “I am thankful for my community in Augusta, my family and chosen family there,” she says.” Growing up listening to stories and seeing this raw, diverse way to look at the world gave me the possibility to dream.” Williams hails from a family of musicians, poets and artists. Women to Watch unites those worlds as an ongoing collaboration between the National Museum and its national and international chapters, increasing exposure for emerging and underrepresented women artists. “We can become so isolated in our own communities that we often forget the many worlds that exist outside of our own.” “I enjoyed learning about the women artists that I didn’t know before,” King says. The other artists featured are Anila Quayyum Agha of Augusta, Namwon Choi of Savannah, Victoria Dugger of Athens, and Shanequa Gay of Atlanta. King says the exhibition became an exploration into the practices of extraordinary women based in Georgia. ![]() READ MORE: Explaining the forces that fueled Alabama’s deadly tornado A huge problem was that tornadoes really didn’t happen in those people’s former homes, so they didn’t know what to watch for or what to do, or even know they had to be concerned about tornadoes, said Joseph Trujillo Falcon, a NOAA social scientist who investigated the aftermath. People who fled Central and South America, Bosnia and Africa were all victims. They hit areas with large immigrant populations.
