![]() This album was popular and critically-acclaimed, though it took some time to gain momentum. Though there was some difficulty in finding a record label that would sign Wu-Tang Clan while still allowing each member to record solo albums with other labels, Loud/RCA finally agreed, releasing their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in late 1993. ![]() The Clan first became known to hip hop fans, and to major record labels, in 1993 (see 1993 in music) following the release of the independent single "Protect Ya Neck", which immediately gave the group a sizeable underground following. Method Man has also mentioned that the "Wu" is the sound a sword makes when cutting through the air, and "Tang" is the sound it makes against a shield. The group have also developed various backronyms for the name (as hip hop pioneers like KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane did with their names), including "We Usually Take All the Niggas' Garments," "Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game" and "Wisdom, Universe, Truth, Allah, Nation, and God". Wu-Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu-Tang sections and using dialogue excerpts as skits. The group's debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs. RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard adopted the name for the group after seeing the kung fu film Shaolin and Wu Tang, which features a school of warriors trained in Wu-Tang style. "Wu-Tang" comes from the name of the Taoist holy mountain Wu Dang in northwest Hubei Province in central China it was also the site of the Ming Dynasty Purple Imperial City built during the reign of the Yongle Emperor in the early 15th century. Two of the cousins, GZA (pronounced Jizza) and RZA (pronounced Rizza), created their new Wu-Tang aliases by mimicking the sound that the words "genius" and "razor" would make when scratched on a turntable. Wu-Tang Clan was gradually assembled in late 1992 from friends and accomplices from around Staten Island, New York, with RZA as the de-facto leader and the group's main producer. ![]() According to The Wu-Tang Manual, at the group's inception, RZA promised the members that if he had total control of the Wu-Tang empire, it would conquer the hip hop world within a dynastic cycle, after which he would relinquish his total control. Their frustration with the workings of the hip hop music industry would provide the main inspiration to Wu-Tang Clan's revolutionary business plan. After the crew dissolved, GZA and RZA (then known as Prince Rakeem) embarked on their solo careers with Cold Chillin' Records and Tommy Boy Records respectively, but to little success. The group attracted the attention of some notable figures in the industry, including Biz Markie, but did not manage to secure a record deal. The founders of the Wu-Tang Clan were RZA, GZA, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, who had previously formed the group Force of the Imperial Master (later known as All In Together Now after the release of a popular single by that name). Since their debut, they have introduced or launched the careers of numerous other artists and groups, and already in 1994 there were credited to be over 300 Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, consisting of rappers, producers, and record label CEOs. One of the most critically and commercially successful hip hop groups of all time, Wu-Tang Clan shot to fame through their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music. The Clan featured nine MCs until the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004. They have gone on to become multi-platinum record producers, Grammy winners, TV and film stars, screenwriters, product spokespersons, business owners and, most recently, major motion picture composers. They were formed in (and are associated with) the New York City borough of Staten Island (referred to by members as "Shaolin"), though Masta Killa and GZA are from Brooklyn and Inspectah Deck is from the Bronx. They are frequently joined by fellow childhood friend Cappadonna, a quasi member of the group. Wu-Tang Clan is a hip-hop group that consists of: RZA, GZA/Genius, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa.

![]() When you’re done take a breather and run around to collect any of the items you want that are littered about the place. You’ll also find Imps hidding on the side of many of the buildings. There’s another 2 Arachnotrons as well as a few Cacodemons. Try to take out as many of the other enemies as you can while you’re still invincible. Run back to the open courtyard and take out the 4 Revenants on the ledge. Run all the way forwards to the other end of the map and pick up the Invincibility Sphere. Use Rockets, Plasma or the BFG to kill the Arachnotrons on the platform just ahead. You’ll want to begin by clearing out most of the wandering monsters so you can be free to explore. These videos are very dark, but I think that’s just this one player’s settings.Downtown is a fairly large map with lots of small buildings to explore. ![]() From the videos I’ve seen, it works better for Heretic than Doom II, but I guess that’s just a matter of taste. Now these add-ons change the whole look, beyond the regular Doomsday enhancement. I haven’t done that yet (they say you need a torrent client, which they provide a link for). That’s what I’ve been playing (good for Doom, Heretic & Hexen - got ‘em all for less than $5 on Steam).īut it turns out that you can download a third level of advanced graphic for Doomsday here: You can download the Doomsday Engine here : Having only played these games when they came out, I’m new to this whole “modern graphics” thing: :)Īveamurechi, don’t know if you’ll see this, but I don’t know how to send this to you directly … The very thought of it gives me nightmares. Any which way you play, good luck on Nightmare. Having just bought Doom II, Heretic & Hexen from Steam, it's a great find for me 'cause Doomsday plays all three. You might wanna consider the Doomsday engine either by restarting or if you ever want to play again - but it doesn't report any achievements to Steam. This is a cool way to "go back" (and very smooth gameplay). Basically they've upped the graphics and integrated some of the features from later versions of the original Doom line.Īs far as the "original graphics", I saw them when I played the game when it came out. Way, way better graphics (but not really not original), more save slots, looking up/down, etc. Wow, Nightmare, eh? I wouldn't last 5 minutes! LOL I figured out that I ruined the elevator by having "peeked in" earlier so I was going to go back to a save near the beginning before I got the red key but I switched to "Doomsday" and so had to restart from the beginning. So, if you are after the "original", "genuine" experience, the grainy, low resolution graphics is it. You can use those, of course (they are freely available online - just run a search), but what you get in the Steam version is the visuals the game had when it first came out originally. I suppose the gameplays you have seen on YouTube with far better graphich were using some better graphics engines which were developed by third parties, long time after the games were released. So, the Doom games seem to have some sort of anticheat mechanisms in place. But I do remember that I have read several threads on this very forum where people lost acces to the achievements because they accidentally pressed the ~ during gameplay in Doom 3 BFG Edition (the ~ brings down the console - similar to Quake - and on the console you can "cheat" big time). I am not 100% sure, as I have no experience with using cheats. However, if you use cheat codes, I think you run a pretty high risk of not getting the achievements. At the moment I can confirm that I have reverted back to my last save (something like 5 levels back) and I could still get the achievements I was going for (finish on Nightmare). If I remember correctly, my concern was about whether i can still get the achievements if I start over from some levels back (which was my case). ![]() Here are a set of features for those users that are primarily syntax writers.

![]() That said, at the very least, I would recommend upgrading the $999 base model to a 1.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz which brings the base model up to a $1,099 starting price. What’s your recommendation for the MacBook Air?Īgain, it depends on what you are looking for, what you need and how much you are willing to invest. However, if your workflow is much more processor intensive, performance and graphics driven, you’ll probably need to step up to a MacBook Pro. If you’re looking for something for basic to average (and average plus) use and your requirements are not performance and graphics heavy, the MacBook Air will be more than suitable for the job. The MacBook Air offers a good balance between performance, portability and price. The processor, SSD storage and RAM are all upgradeable. The new $1,299 base model features a 1.1GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Processor Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz, 512GB SSD storage, 8GB RAM and the Intel Iris Plus Graphics. With the latest generation, the new $999 base model features a 1.1GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i3 Processor Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz, 256GB SSD storage, 8GB RAM and the Intel Iris Plus Graphics. In addition, the base model started at $1,199 with only 128GB SSD storage. I wasn’t fond of the idea that it was only available with a 1.6GHz Dual-Core 8th generation Intel Core i5 Processor. I did raise some flags with its predecessor, the 2018 MacBook Air. It’s sleek, it’s portable and it continues to get better with each iteration. I repeated this process on another MacBook running macOS Catalina and that MacBook was also able to print to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500.Ī Decade With The HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 WirelessĪs I’ve mentioned in the past, the MacBook Air has become one of my all-time favorite laptops to own and use. Once that was done, I was able to access the printer and print without any issues. Thereafter, I went back into System Preferences | Printers & Scanners and proceeded to add back the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 printer. On a MacBook Air running macOS Catalina, I was still getting error messages “XXXXX will damage your computer.” when accessing the printer so I proceeded to Reset printing system (In the Printers & Scanners window, Ctrl + Click in the left pane where your printers are listed and select Reset printing system…) and then went into Macintosh HD | Library | Printers and removed the “hp” folder, “ist” file and all PPDs in PPDs | Contents | Resources. On a MacBook running macOS High Sierra, I was able to send a print job to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 and it printed fine. Hopefully, HP and Apple will work expeditiously to get this issue resolved!Īs of, it appears HP and Apple have resolved the issue. HP is supposedly working with Apple to address the issue but at the time of writing this post, the issue has not been resolved and it is unclear how temporary a disruption this will be. While it’s not ideal and results may vary depending on the version of macOS you are running and the HP printer that you are printing to, you’ll at least be able to print if you really need to. ![]() This will allow you to print in black & white only. An alternative workaround is to use the Generic PCL Driver instead of the HP driver if you just need to print. As for the AirPrint workaround, I couldn’t test it as the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 does not support AirPrint however, if your HP printer does support AirPrint, you can give the suggested workaround a try. I did test this on another Mac running macOS Catalina and ran into the same issue and the issue also extends to an old MacBook running macOS High Sierra. For context, I’m running the latest version of macOS Catalina and I’m printing to a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500. It was bizarre given that I had no problems printing from my MacBook the day before, I hadn’t recently installed any new macOS updates or HP driver updates, all the typical troubleshooting steps and fixes didn’t work, there were no connectivity or hardware issues and I was able to print fine from a Windows PC. Error messages include “ Stopped – ‘Filter’ failed” and “One or more components of the HP printing software are corrupted or missing …”įor me, it happened at the worst time as I had numerous documents to print on Friday and spent hours trying to troubleshoot and research the issue. ![]() Without valid, signed credentials, macOS will not recognize or accept those HP drivers resulting in a variety of error messages if you attempt to print to your HP printer from your Mac.

![]() ![]() You may still feel bad at the end of The Wolf of Wall Street-it’s an exhausting and frequently queasy three hours-but it’s a cleansing kind of exhaustion. The Wolf of Wall Street is fun not only because we may secretly wish we were heartless millionaires by the time we were 26 it’s fun because it is insane, passionate, leave-it-all-on-the-field cinema, from one director and a ton of performers who know exactly what they’re doing. There are clearly even greater performances in Scorsese’s original four-hour cut from a slew of famous people-Jean Dujardin, Jon Favreau, Jon Bernthal, Cristin Milioti-who shine brief and bright here. Matthew McConaughey takes a single scene-a single lunch!-and shapes the movie in his image. Kyle Chandler is great as the straight-arrow G-man committed to bringing Belfort down. Rob Reiner is great in this movie, as Jordan Belfort’s titanically angry father. He uses 40 years of cinematic experience to judge Belfort and company more harshly than the world ever did. Instead of indulging in all the bad behavior before about-facing for redemption in the end, Scorsese puts the celebration and the revulsion side by side. Scorsese, who rode the wobbly rail between comedy and terror to iconic perfection in Goodfellas, does it over and over again in The Wolf of Wall Street. A beach party, where Jonah Hill’s Donnie Azoff is so blitzed on pills that he whips out his penis in the middle of the room, looks like a blast one moment and a nightmare the next. It is horrifying to watch Belfort and his crew use a dwarf as a human dart it is hilarious to watch them justify the act to themselves in a board-room meeting. What sets the film apart from other celebrations of debauchery like Project X and The Hangover is not just skill it’s that it is possible to be revolted by what’s onscreen and thoroughly enchanted by it at the same time. ![]() The Wolf of Wall Street allows us to feel what it was like to be those guys-the wild rush of drugs, the insane power brought by money-and to not feel that bad about enjoying it. In real life, a group of Wall Streeters probably not so different from Jordan Belfort wrecked a lot more than a boat, and barely had to apologize. Martin Scorsese, returning to his familiar realm of men behaving badly, isn’t interested in either side of that moral equation. Movies have always indulged in bad-but-thrilling behavior and gotten away with it by promising redemption or contrition in the end, whether it’s rooting for a bad guy to succeed or watching someone murder for the “right” reasons. Jordan Belfort rises to the top by scheming, lying, shamelessly screwing over the little guy, and behaving as badly as you can possibly imagine-he starts the film blowing coke into a woman’s ass, ends it by physically threatening his wife, and finds time to wreck a yacht in-between. The bad guys win, over and over again, in The Wolf of Wall Street. It’s the look on the faces of the people watching Belfort, who has transformed himself into a motivational speaker. But the key to the film is not the moment when Belfort is arrested, or even the public speech he gives in which he confesses he did things that were wrong. The Wolf of Wall Street is a familiar story about a rise and fall-Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort starts a shady stock-trading business, turns himself into a millionaire, then gets collared by the Feds for the dozens of illegal acts that got him there.
