Or you can get your friends to give you some more. "When you are out of lives in Bubble Witch Saga you can buy some more. It's both absolute progress, as in have I completed this level and relative progress, have I progressed as far as my friends in the game?" It's this sense of progress that Facebook games are really selling. For example, if you go through a particularly difficult level and pass through that, we put a relatively easier level next because that doubles the sense of achievement the player gets. We also know what sequence of challenges work best. We can look at the time that people spend on it and the number of attempts they make to pass that level in order to optimise it. So we can see what works and what doesn't work in a particular puzzle level. "The process of creating new levels offers an opportunity to improve each level further. As they get used to waiting for new levels to come it keeps them within our game." They post their progress on Facebook and share their achievements with their friends. At the moment we have over 170 levels on Bubble Witch Saga and the players, through this map, know that the levels are coming. We work a two-week release cycle and add new levels essentially every fortnight. When we launched the game on Facebook we probably had between 50 and 70 levels available on day one. "We introduced a storyline and a map, which may seem very simplistic but having a map showing future levels is very important as it gives players a sense that there's always more to come. ![]() So the game essentially does its own marketing." We also introduced level unlocking requirements - in order to progress from one level to the other on Bubble Witch Saga you need to get three friends to use the game. For example, we made it easy to give coins or lives to your friends. "We introduced collaborative elements in to game progress. So you monitor, tweak, figure out what works and do it again." If you make it too difficult, you won't get enough people remaining with your game. If you make the tutorial too easy then enthusiastic players who know more or less what they are doing get bored and go away. We do a lot of testing around the tutorial experience. Getting players quickly into the game in a simple but entertaining way is vital for second day retention. "Second day retention - how many people who were there on day one come back on day two - is a key measure for Facebook games. The basic idea was to take the most popular games from and place them in a social wrapper." It took us a while but eventually we got to a winning formula that we call the saga format, because it is a long running story. "We learned that on Facebook players want something that is less competitive and more relaxing. We spent over a year testing different concepts, different formats, game hubs, games of chance like bingo - none of these really worked," said Alex Dale, chief marketing officer at .ĭale shared 's experience with other game designers at the Digital Shoreditch 'Play' event and explained how to create a successful Facebook game. "We knew that we had to get into Facebook because it was clear that was where our older female audience were spending more and more of our time. So how did come to be hot on the heels of the number one spot held by FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Words With Friends creator Zynga? ![]() That has not always been the case though and a year ago the social gaming company was only at number 30 based on users. has built itself up to be the number two games company on Facebook when it comes to daily active users.Its title Bubble Witch Saga is the largest game on Facebook with six million people playing daily.

Report sexist ads! Sexist ads are a pervasive problem that can be found in mobile games. If you really think about it, it’s the same strategy all over again. When something is clearly working, others want to copy it. But in this case, instead of misleading creatives, you use narrative and story-driven creatives (isn’t it fake too?) to get the attention, create drama, plot twists, misogyny, and a bit of sexism here and there. I talked about this in the Fake ads article. ![]() The explosive growth of the game at the timeĬPI’s are super high in the Match3 genre, you can’t really grow the LTV. Some of the recent creatives IMHO crossed the line a bit. The goal is to shock viewers, grab their attention with something unexpected, and make Lily’s universe much more exciting. We all remember all those bizarre and shocking creatives about pregnancy, NSFW, cheating, etc. The goal of the game is to help Lily renovate her great-aunt’s garden.Īlong the way, Lily interacts with a cast of intriguing characters, which forms the game’s narrative meta layer. ![]() Published by the Danish developer Tactile Games, Lily’s Garden is a match-3 blast game. The unfortunate starter of the sexist ads category is Lily’s garden. This can have serious consequences for women in society, as it can lead to an increased acceptance of sexual harassment and violence against women. In addition, sexist ads in mobile games contribute to a larger culture of objectification and sexualization of women. For younger players, these ads can have a particularly damaging effect on their self-image and self-worth. Seeing these creatives can lead to feelings of body shaming, self-esteem issues, and even depression. Another reason why sexist ads in mobile games are wrong is that they can be harmful to players. ![]() ![]() Long time for nobody to have noticed it or brought it up. Not sure if it was somehow added later after uploading or it got unintentionally uploaded back in 2019. If you've already installed it, run Defender or whatever aniti-virus flavor you like in its "strongest" mode (offline for Defender) to find and quarantine/remove it. *** is my emphasis so you know the executable that installs it.

It popped up very quickly with a regular (right click, choose Scan with Defender or your anti-virus) scan and it was quarantined before extraction and installation. I can't upload a screenshot but here's the most important bits from just () downloading the zip file again and running Defender on it before extracting files. I should have actively scanned the zip file right after downloading. For the heck of it I ran the offline version and then this Trojan popped up. I ran a full scan with MS Defender but nothing found.

It is true that my Arena A-Team would beat the pants off this B-Team, but I put this team up against the Epic/Rare Speed-Nuke teams every time because they win more often….with the way people build for Arena right now, there is always someone faster, but there isn’t always someone stronger. ![]() Miscreated Monster (193 Speed): Lightning Storm ![]() He puts out shields big enough that my whole team survives the Nuke Wave 90% of the time, and then it’s “Lights Out Kids, Time for the Grownups to Play”: My Thenasil is in a Shield Set and a Speed Set, and he is stacking SPD, HP & DEF stats with equal priority.

However, it really depends on your goal for each champ. I definitely prioritize speed for some Arena champs, and my fastest champ is currently Longbeard at 274. WileyMan Augat 2:28 You are right that speed is incredibly important however, 3 speed sets is not always the right choice.Raid Shadow Legends Thenasil Champion Guide by ASH If you’re able to enhance his abilities, by all means, do so, but if he’s the best you’ve got, Thenasil will hold his own. Nonetheless, he excels in the Sand Devil, proving that even with one eye, he can keep his sights set on victory.

Round two saw me arrive early, only to discover that the required install media for Office was not present. This was apparently too late the individuals with the keys to let me into the building had left. I ran into a multi-vehicle accident and showed up onsite three minutes late. The location in question is on the other end of the city from my home better than an hour away. The project started out with a misadventure. It could stretch to four hours in the absolute worst case. Depending on the speed and number of the PCs, that’s maybe a couple hours’ worth of work. Remove Office Pro and install Office Standard to ensure proper license compliance. It was simple enough go to the site, rename and readdress up to five PCs to meet the newest conventions. One recent job has left me feeling somewhat ambiguous. Some contracting jobs are terrible 14 consecutive hours of testing cables and ghosting workstations will leave me a gibbering mental wasteland. I love the sexy ones that task me with rolling my own data center or spending a week’s worth of off hours poking holes in someone else’s network. Hopefully you will find something of value in this post, despite the limited use case.Some contracting jobs are fun. Voila, it’s disabled! Now you can go about your business! Then go to the command line and run “C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\smc.exe -stop”. Unselect the box that says “Protect Symantec security software from being tampered with or shut down”. Go to change settings > tamper protection. Once you can RDP into the system, do so and bring up SEP. netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable.netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable.You may need to allow it through the firewall so run the following commands against the system: Which should produce the following result. Set COMMAND ‘reg add “hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server” /f /v fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0’ Set the SMBPass, SMBUser, and SMBDomain to whatever is correct for your system. Then open up metasploit and use the auxiliary/admin/smb/psexec_command exploit. To test it out set your remote desktop settings to not allow connections. To do so, it needs to have the registry key LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy set to 1. This requires RDP to be open, although you could enable that through psexec_command. This encodes each of the stages and in this instance bypasses the SEP HIDS. I generated the payload as usual but I changed the handler to EnableStateEncoding. This could be a pain, given we are using syringe to inject them so the second method is the one I used. Instead of breaking up our payload into multiple stages and reducing the size, we can use one of the new stageless payloads which has the entirety of meterpreter contained in them. There are two options for getting around this. This HIDS was picking off the meterpreter stages, causing the the stage to fail. That is all well and good for AV, but Symantec also has a HIDS. By generating shellcode using msfvenom (or msfpayload if you’re behind the times), we can inject the first stage of a payload in memory and avoid AV. When psexec failed, my next idea was to use this beautiful dll / shellcode injector written by our very own steiner. There are probably other ways to skin this cat, but I learned something doing it this way so we will go with it! How to Bypass the SEP HIDS I was using them to gain access to other systems using psexec, but was thwarted by SEP in most cases (with a file not found error). So at this point I am most of the way there already, seeing as I had valid administrator credentials. A little bit of backstory: I was able to acquire a shared local administrator’s credentials during a pen test. I realize that this post is an edge case, but I recently used this method to bypass SEP (Symantec Endpoint Protection) during a pen test, so for my reference and that one person who runs into a similar scenario I am writing this. ![]() Be careful, as you need time between each kill to reload both weapons. For example, a Flintlock and Eye of Reach shot after one another is enough to immediately kill any Pirate at full health. While not running a Cutlass largely removes the mobility of a Pirate, double-gunning can be very effective when boarding ships as switching weapons and following gunshots next to each other can quickly pick off single enemies.You can use Weapons as a sort of flare by firing towards locations to indicate Players of the location or direction of a point of interest."An Eye of Reach covered in spikes? Good thing there's a matching eyepatch available." These tridents can fire charged bubble shots. Tridents of Dark Tides can be found anywhere in the Sea of Thieves, and during the A Pirate's Life Tall Tales. Certain variants of the Flintlock offer an iron sight, while certain variants of the Eye of Reach have uniquely coloured scope lens.Ĭannons are stationary weapons that appear mounted on all Ships, and at most Forts and Large Islands. However shape and size may vary slightly. In general, all cosmetic variants function identically, and differ only cosmetically. Ammo can be refilled at an Ammo Chest or Ammo Crate.Īlternate cosmetic variants of each weapon are available for purchase from the Weaponsmith's Shop. The Flintlock, Blunderbuss, and Eye of Reach each hold 5 shots worth of ammunition at one time, which must be refilled when used up. Weapons may be swapped using an Armoury found on all ships, on the Ferry of the Damned, and outside the entrance of Weaponsmith's Shops.Īll new players will automatically have the basic Sailor Cutlass, Sailor Pistol, Sailor Blunderbuss, and Sailor Eye of Reach available for use from the very start, with the Cutlass and Flintlock equipped by default. A player can carry 2 out of the 4 available weapons at any time. He’s one of those actors you always felt really comfortable with.Weapons are items used for combat against enemies or other players. "He was very cheeky, but not in a bad way. The closest I ever got was hidden away in the wardrobe or on the boat at the end when M comes on the phone and you see us sailing away. "He was very friendly, had very good manners and took time with you, and we stayed friends until the end. Not my type, but I can appreciate a good-looking man as much as anyone else. She gushed: "Not only was Roger a perfect gentleman, but he was a perfect specimen of a man. Meanwhile, Britt praised her 'Mad with the Golden Gun' co-star, Sir Roger Moore - who played James Bond - as the "perfect specimen of a man".

"But if we ate together, maybe once a week, max, we would go from Elstead in Surrey, where we lived, to the Tiberian in London, which was the big Italian restaurant, just to have dinner with a company of people in which he could become a character, tell fantastic stories and everyone would be dying of laughter. Peter Sellers only ever lived when he had an audience. She said: "There was no real Peter Sellers. The 'Man with the Golden Gun' actress claimed Peter - who died in 1980 aged 54 - was always "silent" and had few interests, but became a very different person when he "had an audience". I’m happier today because I have taken care of myself in the way that I have made myself comfortable." "I was nursing an older, problematic, man. We never went out to clubs, although I did wear miniskirts. Nothing to do with me, as has been implied! He had a heart attack very soon after we married. The 80-year-old actress married the British comic in 1964 following a whirlwind romance, but they divorced in 1968 on the grounds of cruelty by the 'Pink Panther' actor, and the 'Wicker Man' star is far happier with her life now than in the decade famed for wild partying.Īsked if she was happier in the 1960s or now, she told The Guardian newspaper: "Well, I was married to Peter Sellers in the swinging 60s, and he was 17 years older than me.

Now I'm happy to report that FM3 has more than survived the translation.in fact, it's my favorite game from Square since FFVIII last summer. Every minute I spent wrestling with the lapanese text, deriving half-meanings and generalities from the kanji, I longed-no, I prayed-for Square to bring this over to the U.S. I remember the long nights I spent with the import of FM3 last winter. Definitely, without a doubt, pick this game up. After dropping an easy 25 hours into FM3, we've found it to be a refreshing and mature change of pace from Square's post-FFVIII efforts. As you develop your characters, they pick up skills (depending on the weapon they specialize in), that randomly activate based on your combat environment. Again, you have full control over each aspect of your mechanized entourage, and can freely interchange body parts to suit your overall strategy. Gameplay in FM3 is heavily based on the two previous FMs. ![]() While the 3D engine itself still leaves quite a bit to the imagination, FM3 has drastically improved the battle scene load times which rendered FM2 nigh unplayable definitely one of FM3's major highlights. When two units engage in combat or melee, the action unfolds in full polygonal viscera.

Nearly all the cutscenes are real-time, which gives FM3's world a real coherent graphical aesthetic. ![]() One reason Square was able to fit all of FM3's story and data onto a single disc was their limited use of FMV throughout the game. jpeg format for example), but its not built to do much with that other than using it somewhere amidst the layers and thats.
