Once you've cleared 95% of the junk surrounding the Spectrobe fossil, you're a mere button press from taking it into your possession. The microphone is even put to use, as you can blow into it to clear out dust. Thanks to the touch screen, you can directly manipulate the tools, tapping away to clear out areas of rock. If you like what you see, you begin excavation, making use of a number of different tools, including drills of different sizes, dynamite, solvent and blowers. You can then scan the fossil to learn what it is before spending your precious time on excavation. You first break through the ground by tapping the screen. During excavation, the bottom screen shows the ground that hides your catch. Once you've found a fossil site, you enter into an excavation mode, which seems to be a full game in its own right thanks to the unique input options provided by the DS. Spectrobes, like only a few other games (Capcom's Viewtiful Joe comes to mind) uses some clever techniques to get 3D visuals on both screens, allowing for a more expansive view as you hunt for fossils. This is due to a technical limitation of the platform. You've probably noticed that most DS games display 3D visuals on only one screen at a given time. The world map, incidentally, has some technical wizardry going on behind the scenes. We're weren't quite sure where we should be scanning, but Hisai assured us that as players progress through the game, they'll gradually get a better feel for where to look. As you move around the fully 3D world, you can tap the screen to scan your surroundings for potential fossils. Your search for Spectrobes begins as soon as you exit your ship. Some areas make the Spectrobe hunt a bit easier. Once you've selected a planet, you can use the stylus to rotate the planet in order to select specific areas where you'd like to land. We sampled a later section of the game which let us move freely around the star system, selecting a planet at will. In Spectrobes you travel through the Nanairo planetary system in a search for Spectrobes, which can then be raised and used in battle against the Krawl. These were storyboarded and directed by Hisai (pictured above). The background story of Spectrobes should be familiar to anyone who frequents IGNDS, as BVG has produced four web videos detailing the opening events (see the video section). Aldus brings with him the technology to awaken the Spectrobes. These ancient creatures are like Dinosaurs from our time, existing exclusively in fossilized form. There's only one way to defeat the invaders, the Spectrobes of the title. Rallen, Jeena, and even Aldus, are incapable of defeating the Krawl. ![]() This is of great concern to Rallen and Jeena, as the Krawl appear to be headed to Nanairo. Aldus's planet outside the Nanairo system has come under attack by mysterious creatures known as the Krawl, who feed off planetary systems to gain power. They come upon an escape pod that's being piloted by Aldus, known in some circles as The Sleeping Man. Two officers with the Nanairo Planetary Patrol, Rallen and Jeena, are out on patrol one day, when they catch a distress signal. Spectrobes is set far in the future, in a different galaxy from our own. With development complete, Hisai, Aguru and the rest of the Spectrobes staff took us through a gameplay session to show us what makes the new game stand out. The director of the Jupter side of Kingdom Hearts, Tanaka Aguru, is serving as the director on Spectrobes as well. You might know the Kyoto-based studio for its work on such games as Pokemon Pinball, Picross and, most famously, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Spectrobes is actually in development at one of Japan's most respected portable developers, Jupiter. Seeing as how this is a Disney game and all, you might be wondering why we had to travel outside of America in order to try it out. And, as producer Kintaro Hisai shared with us when we visited Japan to sample a final version of the game, it's also the first BVG game to feature an all original cast of characters. ![]() In addition to being the first title out of the studio to carry the Walt Disney label on its packaging, it's also the first title that the division has produced on its own. Spectrobes appears to be a special game for Buena Vista Games. ![]()

Shop endless family board game fun at our low prices for life. Discover fun for all ages with our board game options, featuring classics like Monopoly and Catan to playing cards and more. Below are seven of my favorite less-obvious British board games, all of which offer a taste of how we like to play on this side of the pond, and some of which might feel more familiar than you think. Our board game range has all the essentials you need for your next family game night. I also like the drama inherent in games where everyone has the potential to win right up until the last minute, and prefer games that allow everyone to play at once, so you’re not waiting for six other people to take their turn before you’re up again. I’m generally drawn to games that nod to the traditional but offer a modern twist, and aren’t too intensely competitive - you don’t want to get too focused that it gets in the way of chatting, laughing, or (heaven forbid) drinking. Of course, a lot of what makes a game good or not (wherever it’s made) comes down to personal taste. Brits are also often drawn to outward-looking games that reflect the world around us (a detail I’m particularly proud of when it comes to British board gaming). Riddles, tongue-twisters, and wordplay are also inherent we are the land of Dickens and Shakespeare, after all. We excel at light-hearted, performance-based concepts - an idea that dates all the way back to the parlor games our Victorian ancestors played. Each player reveals their cards, then it's most grins wins. In Board Game Scrawl, each board is divided into seven distinct regions, with the objective being to complete each region by drawing and connecting the different pictures. Sketch a phrase, pass it on and watch how things go horribly wrong. Board Game Scrawl is a popular game among players of all ages as it can be adapted to a wide range of rules and levels that make it enjoyable for everyone. ![]() When it comes to designing board games, what I think we Brits do best is infuse them with a quirky, at times surrealist, sense of humor (imagine Monopoly, but created by Monty Python). The disastrous doodling and guessing game. I would bring that prototype to the office with me, in addition to refining it on evenings and on weekends, before ultimately quitting my day job to start my own company Clarendon Games, where I’ve since turned that prototype into a real game called Perigon - and launched 11 other board and card games that we sell in the U.K. Back in 2012, while working at a high-end skin-care brand in London, I started to set aside some of my salary to invest in my first board-game prototype. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plot spoilers should be marked with spoiler tags.Mark spoilers, stay on topic and warn about books with no HEA ![]() ![]() Videos or media supplemental to a request or other post should be linked in the text of the post to prevent autoplay.Funny memes and TikToks are ONLY allowed in the Meme Monday Threads which are posted every Monday, or in the comments section of a post.The only permissible place for authors to mention their book, discuss romance writing, ask for help with it, or do research about romance books is in the Self-Promotion Thread This sub is focused exclusively on readers.No Self-Promotion, writing research, or surveys Users who make frequent book requests should meaningfully interact with the sub in other ways (suggest books for others, comment on discussions, etc.) When requesting books, please be considerate and stay engaged in your post to reply/thank those who make suggestions.Polls asking which book to read next are not permitted.Other uncommon books/authors you've enjoyed.Relevant info as to why you want to read the type of book requested.Details beyond just a trope, like a specific occupation or uncommon type of scene.An acceptable book request includes at least one of the following: Low-effort book requests will be removed.

![]() This pair offers excellent traction for any terrain, thanks to the deep lugs on the soles (especially under the heel of the shoe). Designed for trail runs, hiking, or wandering along concrete, these shoes can take on slippery and wet terrain. We recommend Asics Gel-Venture 8 for an affordable pair of walking shoes that don’t sacrifice quality. Key Specs: Sizes: Men’s 3-15 (only one width option) | Weight: Not listed | Drop: Not listed | Closure: Slip-on | Cushioning: Moderate | Materials: Synthetic upper, lining, and sole EVA foam midsole-made of 44% recycled material Walkers with wide feet should go up a size when ordering these shoes for an optimal fit. We also love that this option can be cleaned easily-rinse it under running water to get rid of any grime. But this option doesn’t offer as much cushioning as other walking shoes on our list, so we wouldn’t recommend them for hour-long, uninterrupted walks. Thanks to their perforated design, they're incredibly breathable, making them great for hot weather walks. Despite being recovery shoes, this pair offers great traction, thanks to the oversized channels on the outsoles.ĭespite their more relaxed appearance, these shoes hold up well during walks and remain secure, even when walking briskly. When wearing these on test walks, we were impressed by their ability to seamlessly transition between surfaces-from concrete to sand and grass. Made with a comfortable, synthetic upper and lining, plus a foam footbed, these shoes keep your heels and toes comfortable and protected from chafing and blisters.ĭesigned as a recovery shoe, the Revive has a hands-free, slip-on design that makes it easy to get out the door quickly to run errands or go for a short walk. Testers with wide feet appreciate the ample room in the forefoot of these shoes that gives feet and toes room to splay. Key Specs: Sizes: Men’s 7-16 (extra-narrow, narrow, standard, wide, extra-wide, and extra-extra-wide widths) | Weight: 11.3 ounces | Drop: 12 millimeters | Closure: Laces | Cushioning: Maximum | Materials: Pigskin, meshįor wide-footed walkers, we recommend Kane’s Revive shoes. ![]() And we love that they come in five colors to accommodate you regardless of your look. We absolutely would recommend and endorse them for their comfort and style. Our only real issue is their higher price tag, but that doesn’t mean we don’t think they are worth it. We also found them to run true to size, as they perfectly fit our feet right out of the box. An added bonus is that, despite all their cushioning, these shoes still support our feet on long walks. The entire shoe features high cushioning, with a midsole made of foam and polyurethane for a responsive, comfy stride. We’re struck by how comfortable these shoes are, particularly the padded tongue and the dual-density foam collar, which keeps your ankles comfortable and prevents blisters. ![]() The brand’s 990v5 impressed us with its combination of comfort and style, making it great for long walks and casual, all-day wear. It probably won’t come as a surprise that a shoe from New Balance tops our list of the best walking shoes for men. We also had a walking coach, ACE-certified group fitness instructor, and RRCA-certified running coach from our Review Board review this story for accuracy and how to find comfortable, well-fitting walking shoes, even when you shop online. To choose the best walking shoes for men, we diligently tested over 90 pairs in the Verywell Testing Lab and at home, focussing on factors like fit, cushioning, comfort, responsiveness, stability, arch support, and more. ![]() Karena Wu, a physical therapist and owner of ActiveCare Physical Therapy in New York City and India, says that support, cushioning, and a proper fit are three crucial things to look for. When it comes to choosing a good pair of walking shoes Dr. Miguel Cunha, a podiatrist and founder of Gotham Footcare in New York City, wearing the wrong shoes when walking can cause issues like plantar fasciitis and runner’s knee, as well as early-onset arthritis. A good walking sneaker can actually make all the difference to help keep you and your feet protected during a stroll or fast walk. While walking is a less intensive form of exercise when compared to running, it’s still just as important for walkers to invest in a quality walking shoe as it is for runners to invest in proper running footwear. ![]() ![]() ![]() Acrobat Pro DC memiliki dua aplikasi seluler Android dan iOS untuk membantu kamu tetap terhubung di manapun berada.
