![]() Draegor, who people believe is a power hungry person, caught all 7 people and forces them to tell him what they know about the Tower. The seven people walked right into an obvious trap. Just the night before the seven people are to have an audience with the king, the king's assistant, Draegor, eliminates the king and claims the throne by default. The king was notified of these seven people and he invited them to the castle to find out what they wanted with the tower. The seven people are said to know about these "clues" to the Tower. It is said that nobody knows about the clues as to how to get to the top of the Tower. The legend says it was a by product of a war long ago and a power, known as the Triforce, existed at the top of it. ![]() Word begins to spread out about the Parallel Tower, and people started to learn about the legend again. The legend behind the Parallel Tower was long lost, and only the elders knew the legend. The Parallel Tower was situated in the Sky Islands northeast of the village. Seven people has "appeared out of nowhere" and begins questioning about the Parallel Tower and the inhabitants of Kakariko Village. You moved here with your friend, in order to find treasure of course!Ī lot of things started to happen not long after you moved here. You are a treasure hunter from another land. That's been fixed, so the player can now complete the hack in its entirety. The original version of the hack was perfect except for one game-breaking bug – it was impossible to finish Level 3 in the first quest. It's a very well-made hack, and would have made a worthy sequel to the original game if it had been done back in the day. ![]() This hack was made by one Lord Steak years ago. Instead of numbered levels, the dungeons are identified by symbols of the zodiac, another interesting twist. It is superbly designed, and won't bore the player. The overworld is completely revamped, with few if any recognizable landmarks or routes from the original game. In a novel twist, the player must guide Princess Zelda on a quest to rescue Link from the forces of evil. Shin Zelda Densetsu is a complete hack of The Legend of Zelda. Link has become very skilled in his familiar world of Hyrule, but skill alone is his only advantage - the land of the Outlands is a beautiful yet deadly world bearing no resemblance to his own cherished kingdom. Zelda herself will make appearances to help the hero, providing items and sage advice crucial to the new journey. His adventure will span 18 new dungeons hidden within a completely unfamiliar terrain. ![]() Link will face dangers and traps unlike anything Ganon had ever devised. In a world similar to yet completely different from The Legend of Zelda, Link must track down the captured Tetrarch Fairies and, with their help, break open Ganon's secret golden vault where the creature now resides. Having lost the Triforce of Courage at the hands of its adversary, it has stolen the Triforce of Power and flown to the vast neighbor of Hyrule, the Outlands.

Maurie Isenberg, who was manning a radar station on the uninhabited islands, stored the coins in a tin, and on coming across them again in 1979, sent them to a museum. In 1944, a solider was patrolling the strategically important Wessel Islands off the north coast of Australia when he stumbled upon five coins buried in the sand. The farmer, Yi Shouxiang, found the blade minus the handle and the pointed end five years ago while digging on his land in Chengkou County, Chongqing province.Īmazing discovery found in the sand could rewrite Australian history Experts think the sword dates to the Qing Dynasty because the characters for Qing Lang Jian, meaning Green Dragon Sword, are etched into it. ![]() It is believed to date from the Anglo-Saxon period, from 410 to 1066 A.D.Ĭhinese man finds old sword in ground, uses it as kitchen knifeĪ 60-year-old Chinese farmer who found an old sword blade digging in the ground used it as a kitchen knife for several years before realizing its value and historical importance. The plate had sat in a box gathering dust until the siblings decided to have it valued.Īncient stone with strange carvings, possibly Anglo-Saxon, turns up in garden shopĪ stone with mysterious carvings, possibly dating from the Anglo-Saxon or Viking era, had been on sale as a garden ornament when television host and archaeologist James Balme bought it, cleaned it and revealed an intricately designed carving. Once he died in 1922, the ancient plate, as well as the rest of his belongings, were shipped back to Edinburgh where they were divided amongst his relatives and passed down through the generations. ![]() The precious relic had been bought in the early 20th-century America by a Scottish businessman named Mr. The plate, which carries the reign mark of Emperor Yongzheng, was sold by three South Derbyshire siblings who inherited it from their grandmother, but never realised just how valuable it was. ![]() Granny’s Ming Dynasty Style Plate Sold for Nearly a Quarter of a Million PoundsĪn ancient Chinese plate dating back to the 1700s was sold in the UK for almost a quarter of a million pounds. It even came close to being tossed into a skip bin. The artifact was first dug up more than a decade ago by a landowner in East Rudham, Norfolk, but not realising its significance, he used the relic as a door stop. The rare 3,500-year-old ceremonial dagger that was used as a door stopĪn object pulled up by a plow in a field and used to prop open an office door was identified by archaeologists as an extremely rare and valuable Bronze Age ceremonial dagger, known as a dirk, one of only six found in the whole of Europe. It was only when he finally decided to get the box of items valued by Dukes of Dorchester, that he came to discover the crown is an authentic Greek myrtle wreath dating back to around 300 BC. The pensioner had seen the crown nearly a decade ago but did not realize its’ worth or importance and put it aside in a tatty cardboard box beneath his bed. Pensioner finds 2,300-Year-Old Pure Gold Crown Under BedĪn elderly man was stunned when he discovered that a box of trinkets he inherited from his grandfather contained an ancient Greek crown made of pure gold that an auctioneer says is worth at least £100,000. From dusty attics, to garden ornaments, local markets and even eBay, ancient relics have been found in the most unexpected of places. Everyone dreams of finding a priceless treasure, and for some this dream has become a reality. Such was the case of the Bronze Age ceremonial dagger that had been used as a door stop, the engraved Chinese sword that was put to use as a kitchen knife, and the ancient Roman sarcophagus that had been used as a flower pot. ![]() Not all treasures are recognized for their historical significance or immense value, especially when spotted by an untrained eye. Kawaii Box, the cutest monthly subscription box aroundīeing a longtime fan of Japanese music and media, I’m all too familiar with the word kawaii - that is, cute. So the premise of Kawaii Box should be easy to pick up on: a box filled with cute things. Plenty of shops sell cute import goods, however, so it’s not what Kawaii Box does but how they do it that sets them apart. Kawaii Box relies on a “mystery box” subscription model, where subscribers receive a box stuffed full of goods each month. ![]() Subscribers don’t know what they’re receiving until each box arrives, just that each item is hand-selected and sure to be totemo kawaii. If you’re on the fence about signing up, just browse through previous boxes to see what was included. I’m just bummed I missed out on that Pusheen sleep mask. ![]() Potential subscribers can rifle through previous boxes to get an idea of the assortment that’s sent out. If they do sign up, they’ll start receiving the mystery boxes - and get a chance to be selected at random to get a Kawaii Megabox filled with over $100 worth of goods. This adds to the fun and mystery of the process even further, and keeps subscribers wondering if they’ll be the lucky winner each month. SwagTron hoverboards, the skateboards of the futureĪlright, so they might not actually hover off the ground - yet - but SwagTron‘s electronic, self-balancing boards are still incredibly cool. It’s no wonder the store asks you straight away if you’ve “imagined what it would be like to ride a skateboard in the future,” because they’re making it a reality. What we like about this store is how crystal clear they are about their product details. Each and every product page has as much information as you could ask for on how the hoverboards work, what’s in the box, how long the battery lasts, what agencies they’re certified through, and so much more. There are plenty of reviews, and photos from multiple angles to boot. If you’re going to be selling the “skateboard of the future,” it makes sense to go into detail.Īnother great touch: the how-to-ride and real-people-riding videos the store has on display. This can help soothe any fears about your new SwagTron being tricky to get the hang of… although maybe don’t do handstands on it right away. The photography-inspiring Moment lens collection Plenty of videos to spare, now that’s what we like to see. Moment has long been in the WooCommerce Showcase, and we just can’t help but point out (again) how neat their products are. Moment’s special iPhone cases with lens attached will turn anyone into a budding photographer in, well, moments. Moment’s primary offering is detachable lenses for the iPhone that instantly turns your cell phone into a nearly-DSLR quality camera. There are two ways you can use a lens: on its own (with a special mount attached to your phone to keep it in place), or via Moment’s specially designed case, as shown above. One of the biggest reasons we love Moment is because their store is gorgeous. ![]() They also know exactly how to sell to photographers, and their semi-regular lookbooks are filled to the brim with gorgeous photography, amazing adventures, and Moment products in action. Makes you want to go out driving with your iPhone and a Moment lens, eh? Sweets Kendamas, selling stylish trick toys #TOTEMO KAWAII SHOP SAFE HOW TO# Never heard of a kendama?

Quip has an optional refill plan to get brush heads, whitening toothpaste, a new battery, and dental floss every three months for 10. In that sense, Quip toothbrushes for kids may make sense for busy parents who already use the adult versions at home. I got the four-person family plan, and after three refills I am most definitely canceling my. The lure of the subscription-based model is not having to think about things like shopping for replacement brush heads for the kids. Very neat idea but the product has a lot of room for improvement. For two replacement brush heads, you'll have to fork over an additional $21.99. Own a brush, but looking for refills Get fresh brush heads, batteries, and toothpaste as a one-time purchase, or sign up for a refill plan to get them. Quip's $25 sticker price is comparable or less than most other children's electric toothbrushes - for example, Phillip's Sonicare for Kids retails at $41.99. Otherwise, it's a one-time fee of $40 for just the toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste. ![]() If you sign up for a refill plan, the children's Quip toothbrush will set you back $25 in addition to $5 every three months for a new brush head and battery. For an additional fee, you can add on watermelon-flavored toothpaste. The children's toothbrush comes with a subscription service that will deliver new brush heads to your house every three months. Welcome to quip Better oral care, made simple. Just email with the following information: The email address associated with your account Which refill plans you’d like to combine Clarify whether you’d like to consolidate into the plan that is shipping earliest OR farthest in the future.

The children's model is outfitted with a smaller brush head, softer bristles, and comes n a more child-friendly pastel color palette of blue, pink, green, and purple. Even if you're not a fan of podcasts, the metal-toned, minimalistic Quip toothbrushes likely have popped up on your Facebook or Instagram feed since the company's launch in late 2015.

Enter these Chalice Dungeons at your own risk. ![]() Most normal rituals will result in a dungeon with three layers. Naturally, there are lots and lots of issues with these recreations, as they were never meant to be played. Chalice Dungeons are completely optional extra areas with their own bosses at the end of each layer. WARNING: It’s probably worth noting that this cut content is hardly finished, stable, or bug tested. Two recently-discovered bosses are the best cut content yet discovered - they’re fully animated, textured, and sampled with piercing screeches, and you can fight them. The venerable player didn’t just hack through the game files to find cut content, she’s also shared some incredible Chalice Dungeons. Normally, players can cook up and share their particular dungeons after they’ve been generated, but one player ( Zullie the Witch) went above and beyond. then i'll go back and get the 3rd ending by finishing that initial new game i started with the scuffed character build (i'm already on the wet nurse anyway).Delve deeper into the nightmare than ever before - some incredible fans of the seminal Souls-like Bloodborne didn’t just uncover two complete boss battles after hacking the game’s files, the bosses have been recreated in Chalice Dungeons that anyone can access with the proper code.Ĭhalice Dungeons are the procedurally-generated optional areas that are jam-packed with secrets. i also finished the dlc and got all those trophies with this file. on this latter file, i finished the hidden ending, just started new game+, got the weapon trophy, and intend to finish a 2nd ending and the queen eventually. personally, i did two new games: a run where i just did whatever and tried out the arcane tools and various weapons then another where i made a specific build and rushed a specific weapon to beat the game with. if you are going to be grinding, it will only be for vials/levels when you need them for a boss. if you are looking for the plat trophy, this is probably the kind of player you are already. i think if you are into the combat and weapon/stat system, then it will at least be fun to beat the game multiple times and try different strats on the bosses. ![]() if you play a ng+ and you really know where all of the items are and what they're good for, then it's not a matter of grinding, it's a matter of beating that ng+ and actually mastering the game. think of it this way: if you are going to get the platinum trophy, you should have mastered the game. in any case, you need to get all three endings to get all three of the ending trophies. if you play at this pace and just do the story chalices (pthumeru, central pthumeru, ailing loran, lower pthumeru, defiled chalice, and pthumeru ihyll chalice) you won't need to grind for anything. you are intended to beat the depth 1 pthumerian chalice basically as soon as you get it (although you don't have to by any means if you play it later it will just be really easy), but the cursed chalices and higher depth chalices are meant to be played when you are over level 100. you just have to go through ng+, which you are meant to do anyway. It has been almost six years since Bloodborne launched for the PlayStation 4 and dedicated players are still finding new content, most of it in the game's chalice dungeons. For anyone wondering/worrying after seeing that comment thread about grinding for ritual materials: to put it simply, you don't need to grind for any items to finish the story chalices and get the platinum trophy. Using the glyph code 'cummmfpk,' Bloodborne players can enter a shared chalice dungeon that rewards hunters with 83,000 blood echoes in 20 seconds. Without that information, DP and other audio applications may reject the file completely. Most uncompressed audio file formats store the actual audio signal as raw data, but with an initial header block describing the sample rate, channel count and bit depth of what's about to follow. There's another reason why some audio files can't be dragged into plug‑in windows or DP tracks, or even imported using the File menu's Import Audio command, and that's because they have incorrect, incomplete or just plain missing header information. Then, finally, it can be dragged into Nanosampler. Either way, choose WAV or AIFF as your export format (mono or interleaved stereo) first and save the file somewhere convenient, such as your Project folder or the Desktop. So select the soundbite in your sequence that you want to use in Nanosampler and go Audio menu / Bounce To Disk, or select it in the Soundbites window and use the Export Selected Bites command from the mini‑menu. Like the ProVerb issue I just described, the solution lies with DP's ability to convert its native audio into alternative formats. Although this is fixed in DP6 (where you'd be less likely to be using SDII as your native format anyway), it's still a pain in the butt for DP5 users. It's one of DP5's dirty little secrets, but as I've mentioned in the past, the bundled plug‑in instrument Nanosampler is incompatible with and can't load DP's native file format, Sound Designer II. The fact that it has (in this case) two channels will make no difference to its sound - they'll be exactly the same, so in its effect it's still mono. Now you should be able to succesfully drag the bounced file into ProVerb, matching its channel configuration. Finally, choose your Desktop or somewhere else convenient as the export location, before clicking OK.īounce to Disk is a convenient way of generating a stereo file from a mono audio track, or copying audio in a wide variety of split or interleaved formats, even within DP5. Make the source your main stereo mix bus. Choose Stereo, and ideally an interleaved format like AIFF or WAV. Go to the Audio menu and choose Bounce To Disk.ģ. Drag the file into a mono audio track in DP, which has a normal stereo output, and select the resulting soundbite.Ģ. The solution is to make a stereo file from your mono impulse. An example of where all this becomes a problem is when you want to load up an old‑school mono reverb impulse but you've no option to use a mono ProVerb because it's on a stereo track, or in a plug‑in slot beneath another stereo‑output plug‑in. To keep us all thoroughly confused, though, a mono ProVerb will accept both mono and stereo impulse file drags. Likewise surround (and something‑to‑surround) ProVerbs only work with multi‑channel surround impulse files. A stereo (or mono‑to‑stereo) ProVerb only allows stereo impulse files to be dragged and dropped. The main reason for this is actually really obvious - or, at least, obvious enough to MOTU that they didn't bother putting it in the DP6 manual. But when you try with some great free impulse responses (like those at or even your own audio files, it sometimes doesn't work, and DP doesn't give any feedback as to why. You're supposed to be able to drag WAV, SDII and AIFF audio files from the Finder on to ProVerb's waveform display to get it to load that audio as an impulse. The ProVerbialįirst things first - let's get to the bottom of the DP6 ProVerb problem. So here's a DP file‑compatibility primer, with fixes for specific problems. It got me thinking: we live in a world jam‑packed with different file formats, and all the specification and compatibility issues that go with them. Over the last few months, I've mentioned a few file format‑related issues that have come up in relation to other DP topics. We present a DP‑user's guide to troubleshooting audio files and formats, and pass on tips for when the unthinkable happens. ![]() HubChargen - For character submission and approval.GMing on the Hub - guidelines and procedures.Want to start telling some stories of your own?

We finally eat it after my dwarven sam feels sorry for the clerk (who is by this point wringing her hands and looking near to tears - and not very Sweeney Todd like), and figures it can't be so bad as to be a match for a dwarven constitution, and takes a bite - which turns out to be surprisingly good, but doesn't quite answer the lingering questions. God knows what the poor clerk is thinking, as we sit there, whispering words like "vehicle sensors" and "gas spectrometer", and using microscopic vision to examine the Turducken's cross-section. Some members of the team are now firmly convinced that Turducken is Made From People! (though the more reasonable idea that they simply make really high-quality fake meat and aren't used to having their workings examined by a group of professional paranoids coming down from a run is floated too), and the dish is carefully inspected. is she furious at you, or worried about her job?), so we get a couple of orders, are served nice portions of pretty good looking (and smelling) turkey-duck-chicken-loaf, mashed potatoes and veggies, and also get salads, fries and sodas to alleviate suspicion and round out the order. Our inquiries into where exactly they come by so much poultry are coyly evaded, and attempts on our part to backpedal on the "real meat" idea (done with the usual subtlety of a group of runners who just had a sudden outbreak of paranoia) met with something approaching panic (hard to tell with a troll. We attempt to order, and it comes out that the specialty of the place is turkey-stuffed-with-duck-stuffed-with-chicken. Inside, we're a little thrown off by the enormous female troll running the place (who, to my dwarven sam's barely concealed horror, acts flirtatious - I'm not sure to this day whether she did it to have a lilttle fun with the out of towner, or seriously.), and the surprisingly low prices, but we're tired, so we stick with it. So we come across this place claiming to serve real Turkey, Duck and Chicken, and figure, what the hell, we'll give it a try. We don't know the area, want to grab a bite, and feel like non-soy meat. For other people it's a big deal, but I'm not a big coffee drinker in general, and I already have a regular place to get it when I am.Īll this talk about fast food reminds me of our group's trip to LA, and our encounter with the Turducken franchise. I personally just don't like that there's so frickin' many of the damned things, or that they seem to have been at the forefront of many moronic coffee-related trends ranging from the naming system to the pricing, but I don't really care that much.
