![]() These between play interactions happen seamlessly and help to make the game feel real. Coaches stand at the edge of the field shouting orders and looking over plays as your teams on the Grid Iron high five and motivate each other. The stadiums and the players are so realistic you sometimes forget this is just a game. Madden NFL 18 has harnessed the power of Frostbite this year, and boy can you tell. I adore Longshot, and I hope many other of EA Sports’ games outside of Madden and FIFA follow suit because they sure can write a great story. The moment I fell in love with Longshot was when I was given the option to sing along to Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” at full blast in his pickup truck, and you know I sang my heart out to that shit. I don’t know quite how much it affects the story, but I managed to be rather respectful of my peers and my coaches, but I also liked to have a laugh, especially with Colt. If you show arrogance or aggression with your answers, your scorecard will change and it’ll affect people’s opinion of you. There are also a lot of dialogue options in the story, and choosing certain ones can change your scorecard. When you’re competing on the reality show the mode is named after, you must repeat back a list of four plays being shouted at you by the show’s coach Jack Ford. There are some first to 21 games which feature 7-on-7, QTEs that have you throwing the perfect pass or dodging a tackle, and other parts that have you using memory as much as your ability to throw a 29-yard pass to a wide receiver. You’ll get to play some American Football in Longshot, but there aren’t any full games as such. As the story reaches its conclusion you’ll be cheering for both Devin and Colt as they sit on the brink of greatness. I was surprised with the level of drama, and acting ability from Lemon and Porter. This story has a lot of heart, and the journey you’ll go on is filled with some genuinely emotional moments. ![]() ![]() After serving in the military, Devin and his best friend Colton Cruise (Friday Night Light’s Scott Porter) make a last-ditch attempt to be a part of the NFL draft and become players in the National Football League. Longshot tells the story of Devin Wade (JR Lemon), a former college quarterback who lost his dad in a car accident (played by Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali), causing him to suffer panic attacks and a loss of his love for the game. Madden NFL 18 has a host of new stuff, and gameplay mechanics have been added to try and change the precision the offence has over its plays, but the year’s crowning glory, and biggest addition comes in the form of Longshot: Madden’s first ever single player story. Whether the gameplay is being fine tuned, modes are being changed, or new ideas are being implemented, EA Sports is listening to their fans and trying to make the latest iteration better, even if sometimes it fails to bring anything significant to the table. ![]() It’s always intriguing to me just how they try and top the previous year’s release. This story was reported from Washington, D.C.I always look forward to the latest Madden game. Most of all, he was the preeminent television sports analyst for most of his three decades calling games, winning an unprecedented 16 Emmy Awards for outstanding sports analyst/personality, and covering 11 Super Bowls for four networks from 1979-2009.įOX 5 New York and the Associated Press contributed to this story.

The days of having to exchange files between computers on USB sticks Life will always have its ups and downs so when you lose sight of the sparkle it’s time to change your perspective and look further afield for inspiration. When you find your own priorities in life you’ll understand how subjective they are. Look around, step beyond your comfort zone, delve deep into issues you might not have thought about engaging with and don’t imagine that just because you’re surrounded by privilege you are churlish for not being happy! There’s one good reason to seek joy in life and that’s simply because you are lucky to be alive – and the challenge is what best purpose to put your time to. I wonder if my generation’s sustained efforts to bring our children up in the protective circle of our embrace has left too many kids, like you, struggling to work out how to find their own pleasure in the world. ![]() ![]() It seems to me that because we parents haven’t got a clue, we’re frequently over-compensating for a perceived absence of care in our own pasts that may actually have been a blessing. And guess what? It could be that we’re causing equivalent damage with our goodwill as was inflicted by the neglect and ignorance of previous generations’ parenting. Don’t get me wrong, my friends, acquaintances and colleagues have offered spectacular opportunities to their offspring: helicopter-parented them through exams filled in their college forms scrimped and saved to supply a deposit for their first flat and endeavoured to be there for them through every pitfall and passion project, every friendship failure and broken heart. That said, as I mature (disconcertingly speedily) and become an irritating know-all, I’m increasingly conscious of the failure of my generation to instil resilience in our children. Depression is an epidemic that recognises no socio-economic borders and no matter how #blessed you feel it can seize you in its grip. You don’t tell me whether you’ve been treated for it, but I would strongly recommend that you do talk to a professional – contact your GP, or Mind () and make sure you have a support system in place. There’s a frisson of danger that you can’t easily conjure up when jeopardy is not a paycheck away.įirst, though let’s talk about that depression which can’t be discounted as a considerable contributing factor for your malaise. I’ve always wondered how my work imperative and, through it my enjoyment of life, would have fared if I hadn’t needed to make a living and step far beyond my comfort zone in order to do so. You say your parents are wealthy, and perhaps that’s an issue here. There’s nothing wrong with failing to use your privilege as a weapon against joylessness: the two are closer linked than you might imagine. I’m so sorry to hear that your capacity for pleasure is so depleted, but you need to understand that what you describe as being lucky isn’t the pass to happiness you assume it to be. When you wake up in the morning and find you’re not moved by birdsong, or moved to tears by the sight of an old couple holding hands, or a kid touching sand for the first time, it’s a good thing to start looking for what’s afflicting you. ![]() This is a common problem, increasingly so among younger people, and although it can often be linked with clinical depression it’s also perfectly possible that you’ve just lost sight of the things that make you happy.įor the clinically depressed or terminally myopic it can be hard to separate the challenges faced by others from our own near-the-knuckle woes. Mariella replies Even before! And you don’t need to sit around twiddling your thumbs and waiting for divine intervention you can get cracking on reviving that sparkle right now. Will I ever feel the sparkle again? If I don’t now, will I when I am old? I’ve been depressed last year, and even though I am much better now, it seems to me that the only thing missing is the step from “glad” to “excited”. I do realise I’m lucky to have a supportive and wealthy family, and many friends. Friends get excited over small and silly things (and God knows it’s healthy, I am not judging) while I keep getting bigger chances than them and never feel that good. ![]() – Choose Microsoft ICM or Little CMS as the Color Management Engine ![]()

Going from a desktop to a laptop, you’ll notice a big difference in storage unless you choose wisely. But if you’re used to flawless graphics, you’ll notice the difference.

Desktop computers often have more robust processors that pack a lot of punch. However, a desktop can offer some advantages over laptops. It needs to sit on your desk, and that’s the only place that you can use it. The obvious disadvantage of a desktop is that it’s not portable. The laptop in general and gaming laptops, in particular, will have limited battery life, depending on your use on mains or battery power. But laptops are advancing fast, and many can rival a desktop for performance and power.Īnother important element to consider in a laptop is battery life. Some laptops don’t offer the same customizability that desktops can do. That’s especially true if you travel a lot with your computer and subject it to bumps and knocks.
