![]() The name change, for one - Johnny Cougar, then John Cougar Mellencamp, cat-free since '91. The turning point came when Mellencamp, a native of Seymour, Ind., released 1985's "Scarecrow," a transitional album that gave us "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." but also rootsy, populist tracks like "Small Town," "The Face of the Nation," "Justice and Independence" and "You've Gotta Stand for Somethin'." It was a bid for critical respect, and it worked. (That same year, he helped found Farm Aid with Neil Young and Willie Nelson.) Each album since - an admirable catalog of a dozen more records with a thoroughly Midwestern blend of Friday-night fun and corner-diner speeches - has received various and consistent acclaim.īut people at the shows still expect him to do the splits. "I talked to my next-door neighbor this morning," Mellencamp, 59, said during our recent interview from his Indiana home. She said, 'Really, I like the old John better.' And I said, 'Well, Cathy, that guy doesn't exist anymore.' It'd be foolish of me to try and do at my age now what I was doing at 32. If people are coming to see 'The Coug,' they should stay home." Jumping off an amp at my age would be stupid. If he could erase parts of the past and start over, he said he would. Anything, he said, that might detour around, say, 1983's "The Kid Inside." And this is what much of our conversation was about: looking to the past without being nostalgic, back-tracking through decades of "progress" to a point further back - and taking a different route from there. You have pretty clear contempt for your early work.Ī. He has won a Grammy Award, and was nominated a total of 13 times.There was no way those folk songs were ever going to get anywhere unless I had hit records. Mellencamp has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. Over the course of his career Mellencamp has earned a net worth of $25 Million.

Still listened to by millions today, this rocker has grown to the status of global icon. He is one of the most widely influential rock musicians of his generation, citing influences from Bob Dylan, James Brown, and Woody Guthrie. Mellencamp is one of America's most beloved songwriters, who has made their stamp on the rock genre. in the U.S.A.," "Paper in Fire,” and "Cherry Bomb." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. Mellencamp rose to fame in the 1980s, with his distinct vocal style, and ballad songwriting, and starting in 1982 he put out a string of Top 10 singles, including "Hurts So Good," "Jack & Diane," "Crumblin' Down," "Pink Houses," "Lonely Ol' Night," "Small Town," "R.O.C.K. ![]() Born in Indiana, it’s likely a nice way for the singer songwriter to stay close to family and connected to his roots.

![]() When Meander is active, any sound which isn’t silent will gently increase and decrease in volume in a random pattern, creating a soundscape which undulates and flows just like background sounds in real life. If you want some more variety, try the Meander function (the button that looks like a squiggly line to the left of the play button). You can set sounds to stop playing after a certain period of time, or if you prefer you can have them fade out gradually to silence. If you’re trying to fall asleep, you might find the timer function handy. To disguise high-pitched sounds, Birds and Crickets are a good option, and for low-pitched sounds, try Thunder. If music coming through the wall is keeping you up, try a mix of Singing Bowl with Waves or Wind to help you ignore it.

One fascinating thing about The Sims is how well the game has been able to navigate maintaining relevance for over two decades. Throughout all of this time, 10 spin-off games have been released as well, including MySims, The Sims Medieval, The Sims DJ, and The Sims Bowling. The first iteration of The Sims was released on February 4th, 2000, but since then, there have been 4 full versions of The Sims, including 12 expansion packs for The Sims 4. But you probably already knew all of that, didn’t you?Īnyone reading this article can probably provide a low-down on The Sims much better than I can, but I’ll do my best to give you a little more insight into the background of the game and how it became such a widely embraced cultural phenomenon. Players have almost complete control over their “Sims” lives, including how they dress, where they live, what kind of job they work, whether or not they start a family or date, and much more. But the premise of the game is this: players get to simulate real life and control the lives of ordinary people. You can read our review of The Last of Us Part 2 to see if that was sound advice.If you’ve never played The Sims, well, I’m not really sure what you’re doing looking at this list of memes you won’t understand. We wrote back when it happened that you shouldn't judge The Last of Us Part 2 by the leaks. Because we did so much to try to protect this story.” “The worst way this game could be presented happened - our worst fear. “At some point, it took a few days, you realise the worst happened,” Druckmann continued. If internet comments around the leaks were a yardstick for hitting those emotions, it was a success. Naughty Dog wanted the players to feel how Ellie felt in that moment: angry, hateful, disgusted. On one level it proved to the studio that the scene works. “The thing that was hard to see is then people kind of dug their heels in the sand and took this position like, ‘I already hate this game, no amount of context is going to change it for me’,” Druckmann explained. But they weren't prepared for what happened. Frustration?”ĭruckmann says the studio knew there would be some fans who would be angry with how Joel is killed. I never thought it would reach this kind of hate? I don’t know how to describe it, even. I knew people would get upset at a character they love dying. A few hours later it’s everywhere and you’re starting to get hate on every social media you’re on, and soon that turns into death threats, anti-Semitic remarks, and just craziness I never could have anticipated. Then you just sit there and your fucking heart sinks, and you’re like, ‘It’s out there, it’s only a certain amount of time until it blows up’. It had maybe a thousand views when it all got taken down. Then there’s a lag so it takes like an hour to take it down. We’re all panicking, asking them to take it down. “It was one of the worst days of my life when the leak happened. They just live with that frustration and anger. ![]() ![]() Then we just have to sit there for two months being like, ‘There’s more to it, but we can’t say anything right now’. “The love that people have for this character, and that’s all they have is that, and then play as the person that killed them. “The thing that was really hard was when the leaks happened and you see that scene came out,” Druckmann said, referencing Joel’s death at the hands of Abby. We’ve pulled out the relevant quotes if you’d rather read than watch the video: ![]() So how did these leaks impact Naughty Dog? Creative director Neil Druckmann explained on Kinda Funny’s latest spoilercast below. Even now, if we put out an article about the game, someone will inevitably post something about Joel’s death. ![]() Some people saw the leaks, decided they didn’t like the story, and made up their mind. It also started what’s now turned into months of toxicity in the debate around the game. It’s a big, impactful moment - one that would have been best to experience for yourself. While it happens within the first few hours, Joel’s death is the thing that kicks off Ellie’s revenge mission, setting up the rest of the game. You’ll know because a Twitter account with a Joker avatar tweeted pictures of Joel bleeding out on the ground at you, along with some joke about golf. If you do go onto social media, you’ll know. ![]() Hamilton."- Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes "An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. ![]() So where's the second book?"- George R.R. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. LEVIATHAN WAKES is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir.

You choose your ingredients, put it in the oven, and see what comes out. I kind of Frankenstein them all together. I’m so lucky I get to pick and choose aspects of the characters to incorporate. If you’re a fan of the show, you’ve got to read the books. I love having source material that is so rich. What is it like to read the source material and know you’re taking a different character’s story? Do you find yourself “translating” their thoughts and actions to your character?Ībsolutely! From the beginning, that was a huge part of my process. There’s really no other character on the show who’s an amalgam of characters from the books. I was like eight months pregnant at the time, and there’s something hilarious about acting like you’re drunk and crying while being very pregnant - the absurdity of it! Step 1 is “wrap your brain around scale,” Step 2 is “execute with humor.” If you can wrap your brain around that, then the actual execution of it requires a strong sense of humor, at least for me. Working on the show is always about trying to wrap your brain around how high the stakes are for these characters. How did you get to that place as an actor? I had chills when Drummer closes the door and screams. The hard-drinking, hard-charging leader of a pirate fleet is someone we'd like to have a beer with. It’s like he’s going down a list of her closest friends.Įxactly! I can’t imagine how horrific that would be. So, to imagine that she has died as well and the blood is on Drummer’s hands…she had Marco in that airlock, and he’s just slaughtering her people. ![]() That’s what it means to be a Belter - it’s part of the plight of that oppression. And she lets people in and she gets close to people, and then they’re taken from her. There’s this great quote that Drummer has when she’s sharing a drink with Naomi and Ashford, and she says, “All the optimists I know are dead.” That’s something that haunts her. We know they’re close, but what about it pushes Drummer over the edge? Naomi’s loss seems to have been the last straw. That’s what we’re seeing - absolute rock bottom. If she was on her own, she would choose death. She’s operating on a completely empty soul, surviving for the sake of the people she loves, not herself. I think that Drummer has the feeling of already being dead inside. Drummer telling Oksana how hard it was to keep going was pretty unexpected. ![]() Infine, si presenteranno agli studenti due strategie alternative di integrazione tra TEI XML (lo standard attuale per la codifica testuale nel mondo della ricerca umanistica) e IIIF (lo standard emergente per la metadatazione e l'annotazione di immagini nel Web): Gli studenti codificheranno una breve porzione testuale tratta da un manoscritto medievale, partendo dalle sue riproduzioni digitali e usando il modulo TEI per la trascrizione delle fonti testuali. Saranno dunque introdotte la sintassi SGML/XML e il vocabolario TEI XML. I corsisti saranno accompagnati in un percorso induttivo e laboratorialeĬhe partirà dalle strutture elementari del funzionamento del computer (una sequenza di stati binari, "aceso/spento", "sì/no", spesso rappresentati con "0" ed "1"), fino ai numeri binari, a quelli decimali, ai CharSet (tabelle di caratteri come ASCII o Unicode).Ī questo punto, inizierà l'esperienza diretta: gli studenti creeranno un loro linguaggio di markup basato su simboli scelti da loro, e saranno portati a riflettere sulle questioni teoriche e metodologiche legate all' inline markup. Nella prima parte del workshop, condotta da Paolo Monella e centrata sulla modellizzazione digitale del testo e su TEI XML, gli studenti creeranno un modello (formale, machine-actionable) di una porzione di testo tratto da un manoscritto medievale, da un lato ottenendo esperienza diretta e dall'altro riflettendo sulle basi teorico-metodologiche e sulle questioni aperte della modellizzazione del testo. This will constitute a bridge with the second part of the workshop, led by Fabio Cusimano, focussed on IIIF. TEI XML source, for example with the TEI attribute with the second approach, the whole TEI XML transcription is included in the IIIF metadata the first approach consists in linking to the digital images of the manuscript from within the.The students will then be presented, and will practice, two alternative strategies for combining TEI XML, the current standard for scholarly text encoding, with IIIF, the rising standard for online image metadata and annotation: They will then be introduced to the SGML/XML syntax and to the TEI XML vocabulary and will encode a brief textual portion taken from a medieval manuscript, based on its digital images and using the TEI module for the transcription of primary sources. They will follow a inductive path, moving from the elementary structures of the computer (a sequence of binary states, "on/off", "yes/no", often represented by "0" and "1") to binary and decimal numbers and charsets (ASCII and Unicode).Īt this point, the hands-on experience will start: students will create their own textual markup language based on symbols of their choice and will be asked to reflect on the theoretical and methodological issues arising from inline markup. In the first part of the workshop, led by Paolo Monella and centered on digital textual modelling and TEI XML, students will create a digital (formal, machine-actionable) model of a portion of a text from a medieval manuscript, both gaining hands-on experience and reflecting on the methodological and theoretical foundations and issues of textual modelling.
