![]() ![]() In the Key of E♭ Major, the E♭ chord is also a E♭ Major (with the notes E♭-G-B♭, where "E♭" is the root, "G" is the 3rd, and "B♭" is the 5th). The root of the Major Key is always a Major chord. In the Key of E♭ Major, where "E♭" is the root of the Key, the C chord which naturally occurs is the C minor chord, with the notes C-E♭-G, where "C" is the root (1) of the chord, "E♭" is the flattened third (♭3) from the chord root, and "G" is the fifth (5) from the chord root. An "C" note as the root can then be built into a C Major chord, a C minor chord, a C diminished chord, or a C augmented chord, but only one of these chords will naturally occur in any given Key. This may seem very confusing at first, but the more you learn about keys and chords, and the longer you study, it will make more sense. The root of a key is the name of the key, and the root of a chord is the name of the chord. A Major Key naturally has 3 Major chords (I, IV, and V), 3 minor chords (ii, iii, and vi), and 1 diminished chord (vii Ο). Diminished and augmented refer to the quality of the fifth in a chord. Major and minor as terms refer to the quality of the third in a chord. An augmented chord (noted as 1 - 3 - ♯5) has a Major Interval (of 4 frets) placed on top of a Major Interval (of 4 frets). A diminished chord (noted as 1 - ♭3 - ♭5) has a minor Interval (of 3 frets) placed on top on another minor Interval (of 3 frets). A minor chord (noted as 1 - ♭3 - 5) has a Major Interval (of 4 frets) placed on top of a minor Interval (of 3 frets). A Major chord (noted as 1 - 3 - 5) has a minor Interval (of 3 frets) placed on top of a Major Interval (of 4 frets). Three note chords made from the root, third and fifth are described by their quality Major, minor, diminished, and augmented. Two or more Intervals played together make a chord. ![]() Any two notes played together make an Interval. The chords in a Major Key are chords which are comprised of notes in the key. ← E♭ - F - G A♭ - B♭ - C - D E♭ - F - G A♭ - B♭ - C - D E♭ → ![]() There are seven octaves of E♭ Major on a 88 Key piano. From the root note they are spaced a whole step (2 frets) to the 2nd note, a whole step to the third note, a half step (1 fret) to the fourth note, a whole step to the fifth note, a whole step to the sixth note, a whole step to the seventh note, and a half step into the octave. The Key of E♭ Major (E-flat) is comprised of seven of twelve possible notes in an octave. ![]()

In February 1982, Trip Hawkins arranged a meeting with Don Valentine of Sequoia Capital to discuss financing his new venture, Amazin' Software. By 1982, Apple had completed its initial public offering (IPO) and become a Fortune 500 company with over one thousand employees. Over the next four years, the market for home personal computers skyrocketed. Trip Hawkins had been an employee of Apple since 1978, at a time when the company had only about fifty employees. History 1982–1991: Trip Hawkins era, founding, and early success Electronic Arts' founder, Trip Hawkins, in 2013 EA also owns and operates major gaming studios such as DICE, Motive Studio, BioWare, and Respawn Entertainment. ![]() ![]() Their desktop titles appear on self-developed Origin, an online gaming digital distribution platform for PCs and a direct competitor to Valve's Steam and Epic Games' Store.

EA published numerous games and some productivity software for personal computers, all of which were developed by external individuals or groups until 1987's Skate or Die!. Founded in May 1982 by Apple employee Trip Hawkins, the company was a pioneer of the early home computer game industry and promoted the designers and programmers responsible for its games as "software artists".

Isaac has his classic arsenal of improvised and scavenged weapons, including the plasma cutter, disc ripper and flamethrower, but with some modern updates. ![]() In an action-horror game, this feeling is paramount. Never too rich, though - asset management underscores the game’s tension, and Isaac is constantly at risk of running out of ammo, stasis energy, oxygen or health. ![]() I found myself checking every corner for glowing boxes to stomp on or shiny bits of ammo and credits, and my exploration was often richly rewarded. In the remake, the Ishimura is a maze of twisting metal corridors and locked rooms, and it’s bursting with secrets. Stores and upgrade benches are scattered around the USG Ishimura, the main ship where the nightmare unfolds, powered by credits and nodes that players find while slicing their way through the monsters onboard. The remake uses the same immersion system, alongside a pop-up inventory that doesn’t interrupt gameplay. Dead Space was the game that introduced HUD-less horror environments, incorporating health and ability meters into Isaac’s suit, rather than displaying static indicators over every scene. Dead Space came out at the height of EA’s golden era, a year after the first Mass Effect and a month before Mirror’s Edge, and it defined the sci-fi horror genre in a way that persists today. Turns out, great game design is timeless. The Dead Space remake is big, beautiful and better than the original, while maintaining the magic that made the first game an instant classic. As a fan of the 2008 game, playing the new Dead Space is a cozy experience, even amid all the terror, death and gore. This precise moment, frozen between horrific brutality and a comforting embrace, captures the essence of the Dead Space remake. ![]() In the split second before a necromorph slides its arm blades into Isaac Clarke’s stomach, it looks like the massive monster is giving him a bloody, snarling, over-excited hug. ![]() ![]() Hollywood Comes to Floridaĭisney-MGM Studios opened in 1989, in a location just south of Epcot. Ultimately, the company was uncertain about the feasibility of operating a functional city, so the idea was scrapped in favor of the current iteration. Though the scope of Epcot was impressive at the time, it was still vastly scaled down from Walt Disney’s original vision for a fully functioning “city of the future”. ![]() ![]() Surrounding the nearby lake were pavilions themed after various locations in the world. The park was anchored by Future World and “Spaceship Earth”, the iconic geodesic sphere structure that sat at the entrance of the park. The site, which was twice as big as the Magic Kingdom, is best described as a permanent world’s fair. The first major Disney World expansion was Epcot Center, which opened in 1982. The original master plan for Walt Disney World did not include plans for the Seven Seas Lagoon, and it was likely added so that the displaced earth could be used to fortify swampy sections of the property to make them suitable for building. However, these projects were scrapped after the 1973 oil crisis as tourism declined. ![]() ![]() These areas were all connected by a monorail system.Īs these maps depict, there was a plan to develop three unique themed zones around the Seven Seas Lagoon: Persian, Asian, and Venetian. When Walt Disney World finally opened in 1971, it included the main Magic Kingdom site, as well as two golf courses and two hotels-Contemporary Resort and the Polynesian Village Resort. Using shell companies to preserve his anonymity (and to keep the price down), Disney began acquiring the sprawling properties that would become today’s Walt Disney World (WDW). ![]() ![]() ![]() Obtained through the esteemed Daily Login rewards, Ceez’s unique abilities, including self-buffing, Turn Meter manipulation, and self-healing, make him a force to be reckoned with in battles. In conclusion, armed with his mighty weapons, Ceez is a formidable champion from the Ogryn Tribes in Raid Shadow Legends. Despite the potential wait for the full login reward cycle to obtain Ceez, his relevancy in battles may still be significant, depending on his multipliers and build. This makes him a formidable foe against bosses like the Fire Knight, especially when combined with his self-buffing abilities. What truly sets Ceez apart is his passive ability, allowing him to steal 15% of the Turn Meter from the enemy with the highest Turn Meter without accuracy checks. His A2 ability grants him a self-fill turn meter and Veil, protecting against single-target damage, and his A3 is an AoE attack that buffs himself before striking and heals him for each critical hit, making him formidable against enemies like the spider. His A1 attack places an Increase Attack buff on himself when landing a critical hit, which is further enhanced with critical damage builds. While Ceez’s kit may not be as impactful in late-game progression, as he is primarily a pure damage nuker, he still possesses unique strengths that make him a valuable asset in PvE settings. Players have the chance to earn Ceez as a reward from the prestigious Daily Login feature, making him a highly sought-after champion.

Also, I should note OP that I only played and completed SS2 like last year or so after having only played the Bioshock games, hence why I can objectively say without any rosetinted glasses SS2 is the best in the series. Just install pretty much all the mods on that list, especially the Tacitool Weapon Replacement Mod, makes the game look much better. Psi/Plasmids finally became practical when Bioshock happened. But, once you get all them nice mods prepare for the best game in the Shock series pro-tip though ignore Psi-Powers shit just was not yet refined gameplay wise yet. There are some great visual mods out there unfortunately I'm too lazy right now to look for them, however this is a game you definitely do NOT play with a game-pad. ![]() ![]() ![]() When items are unlocked they start to appear in levels.
