![]() ![]() The lessons learned in Center Parks can be used later in the game, of course, but I’ll be surprised if the difficulty doesn’t put the less patient off fairly quickly. There are five prisons in which you can try your hand at escapology, the first of which, “Center Parks Minimum Security Prison”, took me 5 or 6 attempts to escape, with each attempt taking around 2 hours to prepare my escape plan. All of these options, choices and daily events make for a surprisingly deep and varied game, and you will need to be sharp as a knife if you are to succeed in getting out.Īs you may have gathered, The Escapists is not easy. You’ll need to be at breakfast, lunch and dinner, evening and morning roll call, and be sure to work out in the gym on a regular basis if you want to stand much chance in a fight, something that will surely happen at some point. All of this item-collecting and plan-creation takes time, as does building up your stamina, and putting up with the daily rigours of prison life. Then there is always throwing three items into the craft menu and seeing what comes out of the other end, but this rarely works. Or, you can pay to get a tip from an anonymous chap on the phone. It’s rare that they will have items of any real use for escape plans, by they do have components that can be crafted into the more useful stuff.īut how do you know what you can craft? Well, you’ll need to visit the library, or spend some time on the computer to find that stuff out. Money can be spent on items that the other prisoners are willing to sell. Working for your money, on the other hand, increases guard favour and earns you cash the safe – albeit slightly more time consuming – way. Doing jobs for your inmate buddies usually amounts to beating someone up, stealing something from them or just generally being a nuisance when they tell you too. In prison there are four “currencies”: Your health, stamina, guards opinion of you and money, which can be earned by doing favours for your fellow inmates, or by doing menial work on a daily basis. It may turn out to be a sucky plan, but at least you tried, right? If you can think of a plan to get out of prison, chances are The Escapists contains the tools to let you live your dream. On the surface, The Escapists looks simple, but scratch the surface and you will find a world of decisions, options and creative freedom. Prison has just got too much for your little 16-bit friend, and it is high time he was leaving. Team17 have a thing for picking up indies and bringing them to the masses lately, and that is just what they are doing with The Escapists, as the title is now Xbox One bound, thanks to a sprinkle of Team17 tinkering.Īs you may have gathered from the start of the review, The Escapists sees you take the role of a prisoner with escape on his mind. You may have come across The Escapists already, thanks to its appearance sometime ago on the Steam early access program. No, no dear reader, you haven’t stumbled across the blog of a young offender, this is the GodisaGeek look at The Escapists, a top-down prison break indie developed by Mouldy Tooth Studios and published by Team17. I’d forgotten about the bloody watch towers! I awoke in the prison infirmary three days later, stripped of all the items I had spent days acquiring and crafting. Then it hit me, like a flash of light, I’d been shot! Damn…The watch towers. I was nearly there…so close, when I was spotted. I went through my hand-dug tunnel, out to the yard, approached the fence in my guards uniform (I looked great), and started to go to work. I planned to use the morning roll-call as my escape time, all the guards would be there. I had even managed to dig a tunnel out of my cell and into the yard. I’d managed to sneak out a guard’s uniform during my day job in the laundry room. I had gathered all the items I needed to make a sock-mace, shovel, and even a screwdriver. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next, I look for images that aren’t too complex. It’s much easier to animate a butterfly flapping its wings on a blank background than one on a flower. What makes a good candidate, you may ask? For one, I look for images with uncomplicated backgrounds. It begged for a GIF: the squirrel had nothing in front of it, and once removed would leave am intact background. Uncommon Flying Squirrel from the Report on the Commissioner of Patents (1856). ![]() When I find a suitable image, I’ll either right-click and save it or use my snipping tool (“grab” on a Mac or “snipping tool” on a PC) to take a screenshot. Then I prefer the single page view (which is in the lower right of the reader). Once I find something of interest, I’ll click the Read Online link under the View the Book grouping on the left. Typically I just browse, either by date, subject, or even what’s been recently reviewed. I’ll usually go to the Smithsonian Libraries page to see what’s been recently digitized. The Internet Archive is an amazing repository of millions of digitized books from around the world, chock-a-block full of images that lend themselves to creating something fun. On the Internet Archive’s eBook and Texts section, you can browse by collection, library, or use the search feature to find books. Since these books are no longer under copyright restrictions, we aren’t limited in the creative reuse and remixing of the products. We digitize books for the main purpose of making them accessible for study and reference. Below, I’m going to go through the basic steps I take in order to turn images collected from our digitized books into the animated GIFs the Smithsonian Libraries posts to its Tumblr blog. Lucky for me, we live in a time when tools for making my twisted dreams come true are readily available. It might be a sign of a twisted mind, but I can’t help imagining illustrations and pictures from old books coming to life. From A system of anatomical plates of the human body by John Lizars (1840?) ![]() ![]() One of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, William Griffith Wilson, loved the prayer so much that he gave a copy of it to the members. In 1941, a member of the Alcoholics Anonymous fellowship found it in the obituary section of the New York Herald Tribune and shared it with the rest of the group. With such wisdom and depth packed in its short lines, it’s not surprising that the prayer gained such popularity. Then in 1940, Winnifred Wygal placed a slightly changed version in a book of worship. The prayer first surfaced in newspapers in the 1930s. Niebuhr penned the words in his diary, which was maintained by his student Winnifred Crane Wygal. The words of this prayer were written by Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr, an American theologian and ethicist who lived from 1892-1971.ĭr. Though it is popular in Christianity, the Serenity prayer isn’t written anywhere in the Bible. The first question people usually ask is, “is the serenity prayer in the Bible?” When you can constantly shift your focus to working on the things you can change about an issue, instead of mourning the ones you can’t, that’s serenity. Whatever circumstance you are faced with, differentiating between the two is key to having peace. If you’re having financial difficulties, you also have some level of control over your spending and savings habits. Sometimes, things like doubt and anxiety, and self-pity can cloud our ability to differentiate between the two.įor example, if you have a family member who constantly demeans you, although you can’t control their actions, you can control how you respond. In the current context, it is the ability to discern between the things that we have control over and the ones we don’t. But courage is the ability to make moves regardless of the fears in our hearts. This doesn’t mean that we won’t be faced with fear. We can either feel sorry for ourselves or swing into action to change the things that we have control over. When we are faced with an obstacle, there are two types of approaches we can have towards it. In this prayer, courage is the strength we need to tackle the things that are within our reach. Focusing on the ones that we can do something about is where we need courage. ![]() Living with the reality that there are things that we can’t turn around with our actions, helps us develop serenity. The Bible itself tells us that by worrying, we can’t even add a day to our lives, rather we even shorten it. Worrying does nothing but make us more anxious. ![]() A lot of people spend a lot of time obsessing and worrying over the things they have no control over. In the context of this prayer, acceptance means letting go of the things we can’t change. It is actually more of a perspective than it is a virtue because it comes from a place of acceptance. But serenity is something that can be developed with God’s help and a lot of practice. Looking at everything going on in the world today, it can sound a bit too good to be true. It is a type of peace that is constant even in the unstable chaos of the world. It isn’t affected by the things that go on around us, good or bad. Serenity is a synonym for peace and tranquility, the opposite of anxiety. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know how many kids actually still believe in the tooth fairy by the time their teeth fall out but the idea of the tooth fairy is still magical and exciting.

(Of course, it now occurs to me there’s also no reason to assume that spear was solid metal – he could have extracted just enough metal impurities from the sand to coat a rock spear with metal plating, as a bluff. So Ed might have been able to turn the silicon of the sand into aluminum or magnesium for his spear – soft metals that would be crushed more easily than his leg. What might be going on here is that it is possible to shift elements, but only by a few steps on the periodic table, and, just like real nuclear reactions, it’s extremely energy-intensive to the point that only skilled alchemists can do it. I went back to the first episode with another translation, and there, Al says “the base elements have to be similar” when doing alchemy. In that case, all bets are off – they shouldn’t have any material requirements, they should be able to turn anything into the material they want. That’s a very interesting line if you know anything about chemistry – if alchemists can change lead into gold, that means they can change elements. Ed said this in the opening episode too, but I forgot to mention it. We open with Cornello explaining human transmutation is taboo… but interestingly, he first says that it’s also forbidden for alchemists to turn lead into gold. As the Elrics leave, Lust and Gluttony manage to salvage their plans with Lior by killing Cornello and replacing him with Envy masquerading as the “real” Cornello. When Rosé confronts the Elrics about how their exposing Cornello did more harm than his deception, Ed tells her to walk on her own two feet. Ed then defeats Cornello with his superior alchemy, only to find out that the philosopher’s stone is a fake. As Cornello tells Edward his plan to use Lior as the base for world domination, Al broadcasts it across town. He leaves her to be eaten by the chimera, but Al arrives just in time to save her. Cornello catches Rosé trying to visit Cain and he reveals the silhouette to be a chimera made of birds. Cornello then takes the state alchemist pocket-watch from Ed, assuming that it is his secret to performing alchemy without a transmutation circle. Ed transmutes some metal to look like Al, and allows himself to be captured. He then orders the townspeople to attack and capture the Elrics. Cornello attacks the boys to chase them away, and he later show a silhouette of Cain in order to comfort Rosé. ![]() Fullmetal Alchemist Episode 2:Īfter revealing that they were trying to revive their mother, the Elrics warn Rosé that reviving her boyfriend Cain would result in a similar fate. ![]() Continuing from where we left off: Ed has revealed his automail and is ready to throw down with Cornello. ![]() ![]() ![]() With Photoshop, you can easily correct these flaws and sharpen the image. Noise refers to grainy details in photographs that obscure details. If there are still several defects left, create a new layer and use the spot healing brush to paint over the remaining flaws. Make adjustments until the photo looks cleaner. Next, open a pop-up window and increase the Radius and Threshold levels. On the Filter pane on the taskbar, you’ll find the Noise Option. Step 5: Remove Dust And ScratchesĬleaning up the image is the simplest way to restore old and damaged photos. Create a new layer and use the Clone Stamp tool to cover any parts that are missing. Use the lasso tool to select each piece and copy-paste them into separate layers. You can easily patch these photos in Photoshop. If your photo is torn into different pieces, don’t worry. Once you’re done, you can hide the background layer by clicking on the “eye” icon. Drag the Background layer to the copy layer icon at the bottom and rename it. Instead, create a new layer on top of it and work on that. It’s best not to edit the Background layer directly so that you can revert changes or check the original image after making adjustments. When you open an image on Photoshop, the original file will be on what’s called the “Background” layer. Here are some of the sizes you can choose from: It’s best to go with standard photo print sizes so that you won’t have trouble looking for a picture frame for your photos later on. If the resolution is higher than that, then the image size will be bigger. If the resolution is lower than 300, then the image size will be smaller once reprinted. Make sure to set the resolution to at least 300dpi, so that the image will have the exact length and width you want once you decide to reprint the photo. Then, use the crop tool in Photoshop to cut the image to the size you need it to be. You may need to do a bit of image rotation before starting. Once you have a scanned copy of the old photos, open the digital file on Adobe Photoshop. ![]() You may also take a picture of the photo with a high-definition camera, but scanned images will always have higher quality. You can visit a local service provider in case you don’t have a scanner at home. Read here to learn on the best format to scan photos. ![]() Once you’ve gathered all the pictures you want to restore, scan the images. You can even choose to colorize black and white images. You can start with family photos that have tears, scratches, or faded colors. Step 1 is to gather old photos that need enhancement. Here are the basic steps for how to restore an old photo: Step 1: Scan The Image You can also print the photographs as many times as you like. You can make all the enhancements on your computer, and then share them on social media without touching the physical photo. The best part of using Adobe Photoshop for old photo restoration is that it preserves the original image.

Smart brush tool: This creates tonal and hue adjustments to specific parts of a photo.Spot healing brush: This is designed to remove spots and unwanted objects, similar to the patch tool.It can be used to duplicate objects and remove imperfections or marks.
