Onisac Gnitteb

Will not allow to trick with algorithms In traditional online casinos, most of the in-game information is hidden from the user. Therefore, the results are not susceptible to different kinds of manipulation. Several online platforms that use blockchain to guarantee fair play come up with understandable ways to ensure transparency. For example, TruePlay, a blockchain solution provider uses its own Honesty Control technology, with which the user can check if someone has made changes to the algorithm for delivering game results and Mr.Bet casino no deposit bonus. In practice, it looks like this: For syndicate roulette, this is a sequence of numbers that will fall out on a drum, and for dice, a sequence of numbers that will fall out on cubes.

Star Wars Battlefront II – May 28th Patch – Release Notes

Soeren Kamper

The guys over at DICE have a small patch releasing on May 28 which aims to address a selection of issues that they have found, but also makes changes to the current milestone requirements for some of the appearances, including Darth Maul’s Old master. The Devs are making changes to the appearance milestone requirements, and instead of requiring you to defeat 5,000 enemies with a specific hero, this can now be done for any hero on their respective side. This means that for Darth Maul’s Old Master appearance, you will no longer need to defeat 5,000 enemies as Darth Maul, but as any hero on the Dark Side. Defeating enemies as a Light Side hero will be required to unlock the Luke Farmboy and Princess Leia appearances. As a team, they would like to give a shout out to those who have already unlocked the Old Master Appearance, the Force…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 15

Novara Skuara

Chapter 15 Finn flew the Star Dust toward the landing field.  Captain Phasma sat in the co-pilot seat and Rose sat behind her.   As he came around the tower, he could see the large black ship in the middle of the landing field like a large inky stain on the ferrocrete.   Beyond it was the hangar that held the tie-fighters and shuttles.   “What is that?” Rose asked when she saw the ship.  “A Ravager class corvette,” Captain Phasma said.  “It’s been modified for covert operations.  Perhaps they are going to give me an actual command.”  “Maybe,” Finn said as he extended the landing gear.   The comm unit sounded and he absently reached out flipping it on.  “This is the Star Dust,” he said.  “This is tower control.  You are to alter you landing status.  You are to land on pad twenty A,” a voice said.  Finn was applying more power…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 10

Novara Skuara

Chapter 10 Lando held his breath as he brought them out of hyperspace.  BX had engaged the cloaking device before they had completely slowed to relative speed.  For a moment they were flying blind until the small extensions poked past the cloaking field.   Rae stood behind Lando’s chair, holding onto the back of it.   Nein monitored the ships systems from the co-pilot’s seat.   Lowbacca watched the forward screen from the engineer’s seat.   Nothing could be seen for a moment then the screen flickered and then they could see outside the ship.  “Cloaking devices suck,” Lando said.  “Sure they keep things from being able to see inside the field, but they also prevent you from being able to see out.”  Lowbacca growled and MTD translated.  “You are using passive probes?  How big are they?”  Lando nodded.  “They are a millimeter in width.  There are six that stick past the field.”  “Can’t…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 7

Novara Skuara

Chapter 7 Lando climbed down the steps that lead to the Lady Luck’s cargo hold.  Rae and Lowbacca have spent most of their time there.   He came down and watched them a few times.  Sometimes they were just levitating some of the crates and each other, other times, they were practicing with the stun sticks that he saw Rae and Master Solo using on Yavin.   This time, they were sitting a few meters apart.   A torch hung in the air between them.  Two more lay on the ground, twisted and broken.   Occasionally, the torch would snap on then immediately shut off.  Rae’s eyes were closed and she was sweating.  Her body was tense as she sat there cross legged, hands going between being relaxed and balling into fists.  Lowbacca sat with his legs crossed as well.  His eyes were opened but it looked as if he were looking through Rae…

Chapter 6 Finn fixed his helmet in place, returning to his duty as a faceless Stormtrooper.  Captain Phasma had already donned her helmet and was striding down the ramp from the Stardust to the hangar of the Star Destroyer.  Finn followed her in time look though the opening in the floor of the hangar and see the stars become streaks as the Star Destroyer Vigilance jumped to hyperspace.  There was much activity in the hangar.  Troops moving equipment and guiding heavy lift droids.  Finn saw a group of officers were moving toward Captain Phasma.   When they got close, Captain Phasma came to attention as did Finn.  He let her salute.  “Captain,” one of the men said who had a Colonel’s rank and saluted back. “Colonel,” she answered in response.  “What is going on?” The colonel sighed and turned to walk toward the open space that shown with the shifting colors…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 5

Novara Skuara

Chapter 5 “Nien, I know.  Not really thrilled with it but it will take days if not weeks for the Jedi to make up their mind,” Lando said.  The two of them sat on the bridge of the Lady Luck with the door shut.   The flicking light from hyperspace filling the bridge. Nien waved his arms and gestured back to the door.  Lando sighed.  “Look, Nien, they tried to kill us.  You don’t try to kill someone in a business deal unless you are doing something you don’t want to get out.  And don’t tell me you changed your mind about the fact that we both agreed that this wasn’t something we could ignore.”  Nien made a face and gestured again back toward the hatchway.  “We take what we can get, bud.  We are going to head back to Yavin once we see if Takodana has anything for us.”  Nien…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 4

Novara Skuara

Scene 4 Saint swept the sidewalk in front of his store.   He leaned against the broom for a moment and watched as the Lady Luck rose into the air, its landing gear retracting into the hull.   It turned and headed almost straight up, growing smaller as it ascended to the heavens.  He walked back into the store, leaning the broom against the door frame.  His dark hands pushed the dreads back from his face and he twisted a copper strip around them to restrain them.  “J12, mind the store,” he said then walked into the back.   An old protocol droid pushed away from the wall. “As you wish sir,” it said and walked behind the counter.   Saint moved down the hall and stepped into a locker room.   He looked in the mirror staring at the older dark skinned human.  He ran a hand through his beard and debated on shaving…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within – Chapter 2

Novara Skuara

Chapter 2 Han leaned against the door frame and watched as the Lady Luck glided toward the landing deck.  He straightened up as he noticed several jagged pieces of metal sticking out from under the ship.   “What have you gotten yourself into Lando?” Han muttered.   Lando saw Han watching the ship come down.  “I didn’t expect him to meet me at the landing pad,” Lando said.  The ship dipped a little then leveled out.  “Number two repulsor is shot,” he said.  Nien nodded and sighed.  When the ship touched down, he motioned Lando toward the back saying something to him.  Lando smiled.  “Yeah, you get the easy job, I have to explain this to Han and Leia.”  Han winced as the landing ramp descended with an audible screech of protesting metal.   He watched Lando come down the ramp.  ‘He’s looking old,’ Han thought then laughed.  Lando was only a few…

How gaming can help you in learning essential skills

Soeren Kamper

The gaming industry has mushroomed over the past few years. The trend of gaming is evident from the rise in annual gaming competitions held worldwide. However, if you are a parent and see your child playing games, you might consider it as a waste of time and become berated.  Well, now your child has a valid reason to spend time playing his favorite games. Research has shown that playing video games can help you enhance your skills, e.g. networking, reasoning, problem-solving, self-confidence, flexibility, and the list goes on.   One such study was spearheaded by Matthew Bar, a researcher at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

A control group was also selected.  Both groups had to fill a questionnaire before and after the study. The survey assessed the students on their adaptability…

Reasons To Check Out OSRIC

Soeren Kamper

For Old School Reference and Index Compilation, the OSRIC RPG is a fantasy role-playing game system. Jolly an assignment help writer says, OSRIC is what is known as a retro-clone in the Old School or OSR (Old School Renaissance) revival, in that it is as legally as possible a faithful copy of the First Edition of the world’s most popular role-playing games, Advanced Dungeons . It’s been a topic on social media recently, and unfortunately not in a good way, because of a kerfuffle about some negative comments by one individual, not formally associated in any way with OSRIC’s authors or creators, about the laudable and evolved decision by Wizards of the Coast, the current creators of Dungeons & Dragons, to promote and encourage inclusion and diversity in the game. It’s an ideal that we should all embrace, and one that I strongly support as a four-decade-long player as correctly…

Lisa Clark

There are lots of reasons to join Disney’s new streaming platform, Disney+. If you’re not familiar with it, think of it as the Netflix of Disney. It has everything from the classics to new releases, Marvel and Pixar, as well as Disney. But there is one show in particular that has a lot of people- especially Star Wars fans – flocking to the new streaming network. The Mandalorian. It’s a weekly episodic Disney+ original about a lone gunfighter who makes his way through the outer reaches of the galaxy. It has mixed reviews, with Slate saying, “It Looks Great, But So Far It Isn’t” and “has a big budget but little imagination”. Maybe we’re just super hungry for some new Star Wars content but most of the people I’ve talked to so far have enjoyed it. Maybe Slate was just being a bit overly critical… But despite what you think…
