![]() On July 12, 1950, Bureau chief Francis W. In 1941, Margaret Smagorinsky (née Knoepfel) was hired as the Weather Bureau's first female statistician. The Bureau would later be moved to the Department of Commerce in 1940. The Bureau prohibited the word " tornado" from being used in any of its weather products out of concern for inciting panic (a move contradicted in its intentions by the high death tolls in past tornado outbreaks due to the lack of advanced warning) until 1938, when it began disseminating tornado warnings exclusively to emergency management personnel. The first Weather Bureau radiosonde was launched in Massachusetts in 1937, which prompted a switch from routine aircraft observation to radiosondes within two years. Under the oversight of that branch, the Bureau began issuing flood warnings and fire weather forecasts, and issued the first daily national surface weather maps it also established a network to distribute warnings for tropical cyclones as well as a data exchange service that relayed European weather analysis to the Bureau and vice versa. The agency first became a civilian enterprise in 1890, when it became part of the Department of Agriculture. While a debate went on between the Signal Service and Congress over whether the forecasting of weather conditions should be handled by civilian agencies or the Signal Service's existing forecast office, a Congressional committee was formed to oversee the matter, recommending that the office's operations be transferred to the Department of War following a two-year investigation. In his earlier role as the civilian assistant to the chief of the Signal Service, Abbe urged the Department of War to research weather conditions to provide a scientific basis behind the forecasts he would continue to urge the study of meteorology as a science after becoming Weather Bureau chief. Ībbe was appointed as the Bureau's first chief meteorologist. General Myer gave the National Weather Service its first name: The Division of Telegrams and Reports for the Benefit of Commerce. Army Signal Service under Brigadier General Albert J. and for giving notice on the northern (Great) Lakes and on the seacoast by magnetic telegraph and marine signals, of the approach and force of storms." The agency was placed under the Secretary of War as Congress felt "military discipline would probably secure the greatest promptness, regularity, and accuracy in the required observations." Within the Department of War, it was assigned to the U.S. Grant with a mission to "provide for taking meteorological observations at the military stations in the interior of the continent and at other points in the States and Territories. Paine introduced a bill to provide the funding, and in 1870, the Weather Bureau of the United States was established through a joint resolution of Congress signed by President Ulysses S. Lapham of Wisconsin lobbied Congress to create such a service, having witnessed the destructive power of storms in the Great Lakes region. In 1869, Cleveland Abbe began developing probabilistic forecasts using daily weather data sent via telegraph by the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and Western Union, which he convinced to back the collection of such information. ![]() Calls for the creation of a government weather bureau began as early as 1844, when the electrical telegraph was introduced. Sci-fi flight sim games are deader than a doornail, at least on the PC. Luckily, even though it's six years old, Freespace 2 still looks and plays as well as it ever did-if you can find a copy, that is. With the general distaste for niche products and games that require peripherals to run (I'd wager that the percentage of PC gamers that also own joysticks is as low as it has ever been), it seems unlikely that we'll ever see a space sim of the scope and quality of Freespace 2 ever again. (It's worth noting, however, that there is a Babylon 5 total modification for the Freespace 2 engine that updates the graphics and includes a lengthy single-player campaign.) The project never did see the light of day, despite the usual round of online petitions and uproar from the Internet Babylon 5 community. The developers continued to work on it for a year, hoping to buy the license from Sierra, but to no avail. Despite the fact that the company had spent a ton of money on the game in the two years of development, and that it was only months away from release, the Sierra bigwigs decided that they weren't going to recoup their investment in the game and decided to cancel the project. The nail in the coffin of the big-budget space sim was probably Sierra's cancellation of its high-profile Babylon 5 game late in 1999. It doesn't look like the space sim genre is going to come back in any big way in the future, though. Thanks to mods, Freespace 2 and Babylon 5 live on well past their commercial extinction. While the controls actually worked out well, nothing can really compare with the feel of a good force feedback joystick kicking in your hands while you gun down enemy ships. Freelancer has a rather large asterisk by its name, anyway, due to the fact that it was based around a mouse-and-keyboard interface and didn't even include support for joysticks. Space sims, however, have almost disappeared completely, with the titles that are being released, such as X2: The Threat and Freelancer, doing rather poorly at retail. The general- audience flight sim genre as a whole has become a relatively niche category that most major publishers avoid, save for Microsoft and its Flight Simulator and Combat Flight Simulator series. It does not store any personal data.It's rather unfortunate that sci-fi flight sims have become so rare over the past half decade.

The game is rated for teens, and it`s basically a watered down wannabe action, like most Van Dam movies. The sound track is okay, nothing that will be remembered, (much like the game as a whole). Voice acting is lame, and it is as though the slang has been stolen from an 80s break-dancing movie. There`s also the issue of when an enemy eventually does get a punch in - Hawk becomes dazed, which is enough time for every foe to jump in and kick the snake skin off our poor hero - there`s just no middle ground.īoss fights are equally impossible, if not more so, as most bosses can regenerate lost energy. Yay - I get to do that mission all over again, just to be killed by the same rampaging thugs, again. When the game begins, most AI stands around while Hawk beats up its partner, but as the game progressed, the AI becomes almost god-like, and Hawk narrowly escaped at almost fatal health, and sometimes met with death. The game fails to find a line between being too easy and ridiculously impossible. Well, when the dodge button actually works, that is. The best part is these weapons can be thrown at enemies, and if thrown by an enemy at Hawk, he can dodge it or deflect it. ![]() Game combat is based on grappling, dodging and striking then dodging, striking and grappling then some striking, grappling and dodging.Ī nice touch is being able to pick up pipes, bottles, axes and swords to use against enemies.

In the first stages of the game, you’re set free to wander a colourful forest, illustrated with storybook charm. Here, you play as an odd witch tasked with collecting a variety of items, and traversing various medieval locales to do so. Wytchwoodis a brilliant adventure game that shares similar aesthetics and themes with Cult of the Lamb. Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Nintendo Switch Īlso, if you’d like to join the Phenixx Gaming team, check out our recruitment article for details on working with us.If you’ve finished Cult of the Lamb – or you’re just looking for a similar vibe – here’s a bunch of video games that we recommend playing next. Follow us on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. I think it has some solid charm to it, and I think anyone who loves the look of it or any of the mechanics I mentioned here, will definitely find something to enjoy.Ī Nintendo Switch review copy of Wytchwood was provided by Alientrap for this review. While it isn’t the best game I’ve played, and it isn’t likely to win any major awards, I did enjoy Wytchwood. If you like crafting, darker (yet humorous) narratives, and games that take inspiration from folktales and myth, then I think Wytchwood will treat you well. In fact, the game autosaves pretty regularly, so even if you aren’t playing on Switch and you lose power or something, you shouldn’t have to worry too much. I only had one crash in Wytchwood, and the game had autosaved just before, so I didn’t lose any progress. An example would be perhaps a trader, where you can trade certain ingredients for more hard to get or less common ones. With that being said, I do quite like the story that Wytchwood tells, I just wish there were some quality of life improvements. When you aren’t doing that, then you’re backtracking to various areas to make sure you have the required ingredients, and stockpiling other commonly used ones so you don’t run out. You quickly realize that the gameplay boils down to talking to NPC’s, just to figure out what they want from you so you can craft the requisite item and move forward. The big issue I have though is that the gameplay gets very repetitive after a while. This may tell you useful information about how to approach various tasks or overcome various obstacles. This lets you inspect your surroundings, along with the enemies and NPC’s around you. ![]() Instead, every creature has some sort of weakness that you can uncover using the “Witch’s eye” mechanic. You may need an axe to chop lumber and dismember beasts, while you may need a trowel or some other instrument to harvest other items. ![]() The story is interesting though, and as you progress you get new tools with which to take on the various harvesting tasks and enemies. In essence, it is a lot of crafting, material harvesting, rinse and repeat. Most of the quests are fetch quests, you either go and get ingredients to make a potion that lets you solve a problem, or you go and do various tasks, which may require you to use the Witch’s spells and potions to solve puzzles. ![]() By completing this purchase, I agree to follow the activation instructions.

Lee sought to make himself fifty times stronger and smarter than he already was. The board of directors promptly stripped Lee of all his power, but not before he experimented on himself. The rest of the team, Garrett and the board of directors for Lee Industries were also informed of Lee's plan. Also, he intends to create these creatures similar in appearance to humans to make sure they get positions in power with Lee admitting he will lead initially.Īfter hearing that this is why Lee formed the Alpha Teens in the first place, Axel felt angry and betrayed and stated he would do everything in his power to stop him. He intends to ".create a race of creatures that can outperform, outthink and outlast any mere human". Lee's reasoning for doing this is to save the world from war, greed and ignorance using genetic engineering. He states he started work on Tilian shortly after he met Axel. After Axel had some lethal run-ins with the reptilian-like creature, Lee tracks it down and reveals to Axel that it, who Lee names Tilian, is Axel's clone. He apologizes twice and explains that the company ".is moving away from vehicles and into bio-tech". Lee fires the Alpha Team stripping them of their access to Lee Industries and its vehicles also stripping them of their credit line. ![]() At the end of season 1, it was revealed that Lee genetically created a reptilian-like creature dubbed the "Axel Manning advanced enhancement". In it was DNA samples of the team and five new uniforms. He began to act suspiciously doing things like mysteriously pocketing Hawk and Shark's loose hair and lying or misinforming the team about his whereabouts when he goes on business.Īfter Paine raided Lee Industries, Axel and Garrett stumbled into a room that was off limits to anyone but Lee. Afterwards Lee's true nature slowly began to reveal itself. Due to him trying to kill them moments earlier, Green's message fell on mostly deaf ears with Hawk dismissing him as paranoid. Lee is his glasses, always colored. In the first season they were yellow-green, in the second they were red. In ordinary transparent ones, he was shown only once - during his work at Chrysalis.Īfter a crazy disgruntled former employee of Lee Industries named Silas Green was defeated by the Alpha Teens, he tried to warn them about Lee betraying them just like he did him. The key element of the image (one might even say, a visiting card) of Mr. In the first season, he is dressed in a suit jacket and a blue sweater, and his short hair is styled into a neat hairstyle. After Lee changed roles, the business suit changed to an ultra-villainous, white with black lines and details, and as accessories were a belt and bracelets from hard radiation technology. The hair has grown back and is disheveled most of the time (hairstyle "explosion at a pasta factory"). Male 40-45 years old, blond. Lee has heterochromia (different eye color) - left blue and right brown. There are two folds of wrinkles near the mouth. In both cases the vehicles usually end up getting junked, mostly being unintentional, but Lee always paid for new ones. He gave them access to Lee Industries vehicles for testing and also let them use them to stop Paine or any other villain threatening Landmark City.
