But now you’re in charge: how would YOU reboot the show? Sky’s the limit, and you have all the budget you need. It’s been done before! See Knight Rider 2000 (1991), Knight Rider 2010 (1994), Team Knight Rider (1997), and Knight Rider (2008). Where was I? Oh, right: rebooting the show. As you can easily imagine (but will see captured on video when you click here), actual Pontiac Firebirds couldn’t begin to handle jump landings onto flat ground, hence the model work and novel Bug solutions. If you’re watching the video, keep your eyes peeled for later-season jumps executed as miniature effects, and appearances of the easily-spotted rubber-body KITT atop a VW Beetle chassis. And wow, could the man sell a Turbo-Boost: Mock the Hoff all you like, but he was indelible as the leather-bejacketed Michael Knight and always played the role completely straight, no matter how absurd the action or ball-crushing the jeans. Elsewhere) to complete the show’s absolutely perfect main-characters casting. KITT was voiced by William Daniels (TV nerds will also recall him as Dr. Said car (which could talk, by the way-kind of a big miss there, Wikipedia) was “played” by the just-released third-gen Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, replete with gloss-black paint, button wheel covers, and a tan interior slathered with switches, 7-segment displays, LEDs, a CRT monitor, and a yoke replacing the steering wheel. After that second clash, Kitt remarked: “I’d rather be turned into a toaster oven than go through that again.” Not for the first time, the self-parking smartypants had a point.Knight Rider should require no introduction, but if you’re just emerging from beneath a rock you stowed yourself under back in early 1982, it’s the show where “David Hasselhoff stars as Michael Knight, a sleek and modern crime fighter assisted by KITT, an advanced, artificially intelligent, self-aware, and nearly indestructible car.” That’s in quotes because I lifted it directly from Wikipedia. Turns out there really is such a thing as too much Hoff: when Garthe and his supposedly indestructible truck Goliath turned up again toward the end of the season, it felt like a lazy, self-cannibalising move rather than a highly anticipated rematch. The opening episode of the second season introduced Garthe Knight, the estranged son of Kitt’s creator who looked suspiciously like Michael Knight with an evil moustache (likely because he was also played by Hasselhoff in full panto mode). ![]() ![]() ![]() With such a deliberately formulaic approach, and baddies-of-the-week banged up by the end of each instalment, when did it demonstrably run out of gas? Was it the season three finale where Michael and Kitt joined the circus? Or the season four episode where they were targeted by ninjas? Your mileage may vary, but it felt as if the wheels fell off when Knight Rider dabbled with serialisation. But something about the cool autonomous car, the hunky lead and – let’s admit it – the kick-ass theme tune cut across language barriers, turning Knight Rider into a tangible global hit that kept its foot to the floor for 90 episodes over four seasons. This was a slick, action-orientated series where Michael and Kitt dutifully helped the downtrodden, thwarting white-collar crooks and greedy hoodlums alike with the judicious application of turbo-boosted stunt jumps. While he never seemed to master doing up his top three shirt buttons, Hasselhoff excelled as the goofball do-gooder Knight, his brawny cheesiness a ripe counterpoint to the urbane Kitt (voiced by the St Elsewhere star William Daniels). If his Knight Rider character had a knotty backstory – a crusading cop shot in the head and left for dead, resurrected with a new face and identity by an eccentric tech billionaire – the part basically just needed someone who could look unselfconscious while constantly talking to themselves. The guy in the saddle this time was David Hasselhoff, an easygoing soap actor thrilled to have finally secured a headline gig.

(A text crawl at the beginning says rule changes “in the year 20XX,” of course, have brought a new era of golf to us.) Players form up a squad of all-stars, each with a favorite club and a course specialty, and take on bite-size tournaments with each performer playing one hole each. For sure there is an audiovisual familiarity - goofy, caricatured players with signature talents, a chipper soundtrack - as well gameplay that, despite changing over to touch controls and a smaller screen, mostly retains the way you target, shape, and execute shots. And it’s a breath of fresh air to know that, as the premium service’s newest golf game, this isn’t a hacked-up perversion of a console game I enjoy, with timed lockouts, microtransactions to get around them, or daily check-ins to “drive engagement,” whatever that means.Ĭlap Hanz Golf is a game distinct from Everybody’s Golf, and yet still evocative of it, in all the departments where such a connection helps. That’s what developer Clap Hanz (creators of the Everybody’s Golf/Hot Shots Golf series) is going for with Clap Hanz Golf, one of more than 30 games Apple Arcade subscribers got last week. Putting this on an iPad might bring that device from the back of the field, in my gaming stable, to the pack leaders. Whether winding down from a core game or sports sim, or just the workday itself, and I was looking for something to play, Everybody’s Golf always won long stretches of my attention without ever asking for a big time commitment. The PlayStation 4’s Everybody’s Golf, from the late summer of 2017, consumed dozens of hours of my time. ![]() ![]() Vanilla - Non High Fructose Corn Syrup, Pure Cane Sugar, Water, Kosher Beef Gelatin, Less than 2 % of: Vanilla Extract (Water, Artificial Flavors, Caramel Color, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate), Salt, Vanilla Flecks, Powdered Sugar, Cornstarch, Pan Spray (Sunflower Oil, Sunflower Lecithin, Natural Flavor, Propellant).

If the second wasn’t a classic what followed most certainly was, I think all lovers of football had been eagerly anticipating the Portugal vs Spain game, but I don’t think many of us dreamt it would be that good a game. For all this distress there is an opposite effect somewhere in the world and there certainly appeared to be based on the video Hamid sent me of him and his friends celebrating in his living room. It wasn’t a classic but it was entertaining enough and in the end Iran got the win through a very late own goal from a distraught Morocco defender who in this efforts to stop a cross headed into his own net. They held off Morocco and after about 20 minutes came into the game themselves. The second game of the day and the first that I got to watch all of was Morocco vs Iran Morocco started very well and looked a good team, but due to my friend Hamid who will be coming to the Iran vs Spain game with me I had to get behind Iran. I still think Egypt can get through but I think they are going to have to win both games to do it otherwise goal difference could count against them after Russia smashed 5 past a very poor Saudi Arabia team. The guy hadn’t finished his race back to fitness in time to take part and you could see how gutted he was.

![]() Certainly, he's the star and anti-star of the show-you see his triumphs as well as his weaknesses, his flaws, and his seriously poor choices. Not only does it not really read like one, it's an actual narrative complete with dialogue that unfolds in a serial way, headlined by the date. And you can't help but hope hope hope that he'll progress and change and become a better person, even though you know his life's not going to miraculously change.īut SCRAWL isn't just a journal. Even though he's telling the story, Tod himself didn't seem to be able to see how his life was changing through the pages of his journal, but the teacher-and the reader-clearly do. ![]() Though I cringed at those moments where he would relapse and be an arse, I felt a need to cheer when he would rebound and take a few more baby steps forward. But also, I was starting to really root for him. Seriously funny stuff-I was so taken by the voice. ![]() In reading the entries from Tod's journal, I felt this blooming sense of surprise. Because if you understand the why, you might stand a chance at not only protecting the victims of bullying, but maybe also save the bully (and in turn, all potential future victims). In reading the story of this particular bully, a person who is clearly not evil or malicious-merely a survivor (and SCRAWL seems to make a distinction)-you can't help but feel hopeful. It merely says look twice and try to get an idea of why. But SCRAWL doesn't ask us to tolerate the behavior. Certainly, they're bullies and awful and their behavior shouldn't be tolerated. You see how deprivation, poverty and neglect affect more than just the physicality of a person. SCRAWL is a vivid portrayal of the ways in which environment can affect more than just a person's ability to feed and clothe himself. But it really saddened me, too, because in seeing his sarcasm and his self-deprecation, you also see his unflinching inward look at the ugly reality that is his life. Knocked my slippers off to read him and the way he approached the universe (the writing is quite sharp as well). His voice steals the show and had me turning pages just to see what he would say next. His drip-dry humor was just the sort I usually go for. He's intelligent, clever, and ridiculously funny. ![]() Something else happened too: I began to understand Tod.īut Tod isn't your average ham-fisted, blockheaded bully either. But you know, through the course of reading SCRAWL, I did both of those things. So, I didn't want to sympathize with one. It's about-and written in the voice of-a bully.

The company has identified 13,500 square feet of commercial real estate in Goregaon, Mumbai. Investors can typically get a part of the ownership of such properties for as little Rs 25 lakh.

Book 2 (Cities of Gold and Glory) is particularly guilty of this. The other books are still fun (particularly book 3, Over the Blood-Dark Sea) but suffer a lot from being overly reliant on random encounters- which means an errant die-roll can totally destroy your character. ![]() The random events and various skill-rolls also seem much fairer. If Dave didn't actually write these books, I'm still sure they were all written by the same author- there are similarities in writing style, etc. Cities in these books are lovingly described, there are countless ways of exploring them, and they contain the most memorable NPCs and plenty of diverting side-quests. Rather one took one book, the other took the next, etc.įrom what I can tell the 'best' books (IMO) are by Dave Thompson, and are books 1, 4 and 5. I'm not sure if this is true, but I read online that the two authors didn't co-write the books. My only problem with the series is that some books are MUCH weaker than others. I am a big fan of the Fabled Lands series, generally think the concept is amazing and is the closest you can come to a continent-spanning free-choice video-game-style RPG in a gamebook. I haven't read a lot of gamebooks apart from FF, Lone Wolf, and FL though. As you can see, I'll have a lot on my plate for the next few months (at least), alternating between DQ, FL and FF! I got my book yesterday and already started playing. I've also read somewhere that the other 6 books that were never published will get green light if the first 6 can sell about 10,000 copies each.Īlso, couldn't not notice in your blog that you're currently playing DestinyQuest. After a few failed initial attempts, when I was still getting used to the mechanics and testing different professions, I decided to play as a rogue, but I intend to play with all different professions in the future.Ībout the reprints: books 5 and 6 are supposed to be re-released on May. It's very different from FF, more game-oriented as you pointed out, but I'm liking it a lot too. I've explored most of the first book and can't wait to resume playing. I got the first book, The War-Torn Kingdom, about a week ago and in the meantime I already ordered the other three, I should get them tomorrow. ![]() Learn how you can permanently close your Google Payments profile.
