![]() You might consider just keeping the drive backed up (check out our backup software reviews for recommendations), especially considering that the warranty is only two years. Why not just $5 a year, I couldn’t tell you. The price for Seagate’s data recovery service is $10 for two years, or $15 for three years. Note that there is no 100-percent guarantee that data can be recovered from a hard drive, though the success rate is exceedingly high. The online “wizard” also shills online data recovery plans. Seagate ToolKit is a competent file-level backup utility, but you can skip the the mildly annoying download experience if you’re already set. Both programs are nicely rendered and quite capable, but I’m not a fan of being forced to download essential software or being upsold non-essential software. You run StartHere.exe to go online to complete a registration process and get your software. Seagate also bundles its ToolKit backup/utility software and a year’s subscription to the Mylio online photo aggregator (from multiple online services such as Facebook, etc.) and organizer. However, there is a Type-A to Type C adapter included for the Micro-B to Type-A cable. ![]() ![]() As it stands, it is one of the more expensive USB 3.2 SSD out there and while it does perform admirably, we find it hard to justify the premium despite the wonderful app package that comes with it.The Ultra Touch sports a SuperSpeed Micro-B port on board rather than Type-C. Where it fails to compete with others is on price. It is smaller than competing rivals that perform on par with it and backed by a long warranty. The unique selling point of the Seagate OneTouch 2021 is not its performance but the premium software and service bundle that comes with it and we’d wish that others - like WDC - did the same. With read/write speeds of up to 2GBps, the SE900 is extremely fast and colourful as well thanks to its gamer focused RGB theme. It is cheaper than the OneTouch but offers a rare glimpse of what life would be if you have a compatible USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface. On the other hand, if speed is what you’re after, then the Adata SE900 (the follow up to the SE800) should fit the bill nicely. We liked its slower counterpart, the PD400, when we tested it in 2020. You get the same level of warranty and theoretically roughly the same performance. If value for money is your main concern, then the Teamgroup PD1000 with its IP68 rating and a price tag of only $129.99 is very tempting - that’s a massive $40 saving. We’d still fork extra to get the T7 Touch which adds a fingerprint scanner that allows you to seamlessly encrypt and protect your device. A superb bargain if you want a drive without bells and whistles. The non-touch version is currently available from major retailers in the US for less than $160. The award winning Samsung T7 external SSD is a favourite of ours. Rivals will be alternative external SSD that have a capacity between 950GB and 1TB with a USB Type-C port and an average speed superior to 800MBps. Seagate claims what it calls an industry-leading success rate of 95%. Unlike data recovery software, this one is done by the manufacturer and covers one in-lab data recovery attempt with an encrypted storage device containing your recovered data if the recovery is successful. It also comes with a redeemable service called Rescue data recovery services. Ours was 3-years but it will vary depending on where you purchase the item.

![]() The Smith & Wesson Model 500 Bone Collector with custom wood grips was added with the "Return of the Patriarch" update, known generically as the "500 Magnum Revolver" in-game and titled as the "T&W 500 Zed Collector" in outside material. Also like in the first game, a second pistol will be identical to the first save for lacking a weaponlight on the underbarrel rail despite this, randomly-spawned or dropped pistols will always have the light attached.Īssured that game mechanics will make the pistol unrealistically practical for the purpose, a player attempts to take on the Patriarch with only two Desert Eagles. Given Tripwire's extensive experience with realistic weapons depiction from other proprietary titles (such as Red Orchestra), this was probably done to avoid possible legal issues.Īs of the 'Incinerate 'N Detonate' update, the player can dual-wield 9mm Pistols like in the first game. It seems to be a odd combination of a Beretta 92FS frame (noted by the hooked trigger guard) with a 92A1/ 90Two Picatinny rail and a Beretta 92G Elite 1A slide (without the markings), with the gun as whole having an Inox finish. The "9mm Pistol" is the starting pistol for all classes. With the exception of the fictional HX25 and Medic pistol, all handguns can be dual-wielded. 1.5 Smith & Wesson Model 500 Bone Collector.The following weapons appear in the game Killing Floor 2: As with the first game, some weapons can share bonuses from other perks, though unlike the first game this is clearly noted in the trader inventory, as any weapon compatible with a different perk will be shown under both perk listings. Changes from the first game include new perks and weapons, as well as a VS Mode where a second team of players controls the Zeds. ![]() A PlayStation 4 installment was released on the same day, and a port to the Xbox One was made available on August 28, 2017.

Plus, a new $80 million terminal is slated to open in 2024.Įven though it's a smaller airport, prices are competitive, and the airport is conveniently located about 4.5 miles from the popular Old Town area. Six airlines service the airport - Allegiant, American, Delta, Silver, and JetBlue - offering 18 nonstop routes. ![]() To accommodate this increase in volume, Key West International Airport recently added several new routes and flights (including nonstop from New York). Travelers who want a tropical escape without leaving the country have been flocking there in droves. Getting to Key Westīecause of the COVID-19 pandemic, there's been a boom in Florida Keys tourism. Based on 20 years of visiting the island with family and friends and introducing them to its charms, here are my top picks for getting to - and around - Key West with ease. I discovered Key West on a family trip about five years after I first moved to Florida 25 years ago, and I've vacationed there on a regular basis ever since. Of course, rental cars are available, too. Trolleys are fun for the whole family and provide transportation plus an educational overview of the island. ![]() Renting a bike makes you feel like a kid again, while you can have your own "Roman Holiday" moment while zipping around on a Vespa. Once you arrive, take your pick of ways to tool around the island. However, there are many options for getting there, whether you're flying in from another state or country, or you live in Florida already. Given its location at the end of the Florida Keys and at the southernmost point in the United States, Key West might seem like a hassle to reach. Click here for Morning Brew’s privacy policy.

![]() ![]() The skate community was an entirely unintended market for the AJ1 High, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense – the Chicago boasted a combination of stability, support, cushioning and durability packaged in a loud yet iconic design – it was everything that a skateboarder could want in a shoe. The community in question? Skateboarders. ![]() All they needed was for a community to come around and pick them up. This resulted in a huge number of readily available, extremely cheap and durable sneakers stocked in stores around the US. The wave of hype had died, and the surplus Air Jordan 1 Highs sat on store shelves for years, experiencing one price drop after another. ![]() Everybody wanted a piece of the new AJ1 “Chicago”, and when initial stocks ran out, retailers requested for more – and so Nike sent them much, much more.Ĭontrary to expectations, Nike had in fact overestimated the demand and saturated the market with now-unwanted Jordans. In NYC’s bus stations, the majority of posters put up to advertise the release were stolen. Demand was so enormous that an entirely new market was created – the sneaker resale market, that eventually grew into today’s multi-billion dollar giant. The AJ1 Highs released in April 1985 to unprecedented sneaker hype. He was perfectly on-track to his destiny as a global sensation, and just as the world couldn’t get enough of Michael Jordan, sneakerheads couldn’t get enough of the Air Jordan 1s. Not even Peter Moore, designer of the AJ1 and then-Creative Director of Nike, could predict just how wrong Jordan was about his criticisms.īack to the rookie season – with Jordan finally convinced to wear the AJ1 High “Chicago”, he went on to become a NBA fan-favorite, averaging a whopping 28.2 points per game, becoming the second-ever rookie to average above 20 points per game. He also complained that he would “look like a clown” wearing AJ1s. Deciding to distinguish the shoes using color, Nike made the leap of producing one of the first-ever triple-colored basketball shoes, something that was unheard of at the time.Įven after the design was finalized, Jordan needed to be convinced to wear the sneakers, as he famously called the black and red color palette “the devil’s colors” (in reference to the colors of his college’s rival team, NC State). Much work had gone into getting the Air Jordan 1 High “Chicago” onto the court – with only a vague design concept provided by Jordan himself, Nike’s designers had worked tirelessly to create a shoe that fit MJ’s requirements of “different”, “exciting” and “low to the ground”. On his feet were never-before-seen Nike sneakers, draped in colors perfectly matched to his Bulls jersey. The year was 1984, and MJ was deep into his first NBA season as shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls. This begs the question, what was so special about the “Chicago” that led to its meteoric rise to grail status, propelling Jordan Brand into a multi-billion dollar business? To answer this, we need to return to where it all began: Michael Jordan’s Rookie Season. It’s not unreasonable to say that without this specific model, the current sneaker industry as we know it wouldn’t exist. The iconic red, white and black colorway saw Michael Jordan through his introduction to the NBA and kickstarted an entire era for sneakers around the globe. However, even within the existing grail status of most OG Air Jordans, there remains one specific colorway that stands above all-the Air Jordan 1 High “Chicago”. Since then, through the efforts of Nike and Jordan brand, the Air Jordan collection has expanded into an empire, with 37 (and counting) silhouettes in numerous colorways making record sales worldwide. Designed by Peter Moore and released in 1985 alongside the start of Michael Jordan’s rookie NBA season, the silhouette became inexplicably tied to the meteoric rise of one of basketball’s enduring legends. Much like how difficult it is to imagine a NBA star more universally-known than Michael Jordan, it’s hard to imagine a Nike silhouette more iconic than the Air Jordan 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some countries may require additional fees paid Collect on Delivery (COD).

The different sabers and fighting styles each have unique strengths, weaknesses and special moves. Later in the game, the player can choose to learn the third fighting style, or wield one saber in each hand, or wield a "saber staff" similar to the double ended lightsaber Darth Maul used in The Phantom Menace which also adds a kicking ability unavailable with any other lightsaber. After the first few missions, the player is allowed to choose a new lightsaber fighting style ("fast" or "strong") and can switch between that style and the original "medium" style at any time. The player can create a custom lightsaber by selecting a hilt and one of five blade colors. Jedi Academy places a heavy emphasis on lightsaber combat. During gameplay, the player has a "force meter" which is depleted when powers are used and recharges when no powers are in use. In both single-player and multiplayer, players choose how to rank up their powers, adding a layer of customization. Force powers are categorized into core, Light Side and Dark Side, and each Force power has three ranks, with the power increasing in effectiveness with each rank. Powers include Push, Pull, Jump, Heal, Lightning and other abilities from the Star Wars universe. In both single-player and multiplayer, the player character is a Force-user, who has access to a variety of Force powers in addition to their lightsaber(s). Players have a health meter and a shield meter, which are replenished separately. The shooter aspects of the game are standard, including a variety of projectile and energy weapons and explosives. The player can choose perspective for every weapon except for the lightsaber, which must be wielded in a third person view. A Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 port was announced in September 2019 and published by Aspyr in March 2020.Īs a first and third-person shooter set in the Star Wars expanded universe, Jedi Academy puts the player into combat wielding a variety of firearms from that universe, as well as lightsabers and Force powers. In September 2009, the game was re-released onto Steam and Direct2Drive alongside the rest of the Jedi Knight series. Jedi Academy received largely positive reviews upon release. Jedi Academy also features a multiplayer mode that allows players to compete in several different game modes online or over a local area network. In addition to customizing their lightsaber and Force powers, players can also modify Jaden's appearance, choosing their species, gender and clothing. The lightsaber combat has been slightly improved and both the player and enemies can now wield standard, double-bladed or dual lightsabers. Like Jedi Outcast, the game combines shooter elements with hack and slash combat, allowing players to wield blasters, lightsabers and a variety of Force powers. Jedi Academy uses the same game engine as Jedi Outcast, the id Tech 3, but features several technical improvements. As Jaden, players are tasked with investigating a Dark Jedi cult called the Disciples of Ragnos, while slowly learning the ways of the Force and committing themselves to either the light side or the dark side. The single-player story, set in the fictional Star Wars expanded universe two years after Jedi Outcast, follows Jaden Korr, a new student at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy under the tutelage of the previous games' protagonist, Kyle Katarn. The game is a sequel to 2002's Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and the fourth and final installment in the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series. Vicarious Visions was responsible for the development of the Xbox version. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is a first- and third-person shooter video game developed by Raven Software and published by LucasArts for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Xbox in 2003. ![]() ![]() ![]() CATCHPLAY and partners also control exclusive distribution rights to these films in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Macau, with The Revenant generating outstanding box office results from these territories in 2016. In early 2015, we closed a partnership deal to invest in New Regency’s three enthralling titles, namely The Revenant, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, marking the first investment of a Taiwanese company in major Hollywood productions. Both investments generated considerable box office performance in Taiwan and China respectively. In the same year, we invested in the locally produced film, Paradise in Service and co-produced 20 Once Again with CJ Entertainment for the Chinese market. That might have given a shallow movie some much-needed depth, or at least felt ambitious.In 2014, in addition to distributing the movies CATCHPLAY loves, we embarked in earnest co-production and investment projects, venturing into content creation. It should be noted that the filmmakers were keen to use real-life death as a backdrop but don’t have the courage to approach anything in terms of politics or social issues. All of the characters who have barely shared actual screen time are loosely tied together in a movie that’s ultimately incredibly thin on plot in the end.

Everyone here, including Mason and co-writer Simon Boyes exudes that feeling that their premise is so clever and so unexpected that that's all that needed to be done. If you're going to make a movie this exploitative and gross, you really have to make it better to disguise the smell of it all.
