![]() ![]() One of the interesting part of the story happens during one night, when Sketch was working on the book and a lightning bolt stroke a panel of it. The inspiration was coming right from Sketch's dreams and nightmares. The book was about the New World Empire which tried to defend the Earth from the invasion of aliens. He was working on this new comic book, called "Comix Zone". ![]() The main character of the game was Sketch Turner, who was an artist and a rock musician. The game was ported to Game Boy Advance seven years after the release. The game was made available for several consoles since then. Reviews stated the game was hard to play and too short, but received good feedback for gameplay, graphics and soundtrack. Though the game was appreciated more than 15 years ago, it had its flaws as well. The dialogue is showed through talk bubbles and are written with a comic font. The game is set within the panels of a comic book, with each level of the game being two pages in the book. Comix Zone doesn't possess quite enough of anything to turn many heads.Ĭomix Zone is a very cool idea for a game that wasn't executed properly, but it's still slicker than most and one of the few decent objects like 16-bit games coming out.Ĭomix Zone is an arcade-style action game from 1995. However, you can pick up objects, throw switches, and choose your path to add a hint of variety to the action. The basic action of the game is continually pressing the attack button until your character pulls off a combo of moves and finishes off the opponent. But beyond all the glitz is the gameplay, which is the nearly the same as Final Fight and any one of its many clones. Some awesome visuals, a solid soundtrack, and the extremely unique idea make Comix Zone an interesting game. And instead of simply running from left to right, you move frame-to-frame through a comic book with the bad guys being drawn in along the way. There's no recognizable hero like Spider-man - instead the hero is an unknown fictional comic artist who is stuck in the pages of his own book. And while we have seen nearly a gazillion (a rough estimate) comic book heroes in video games, there has never been anything quite like Comix Zone. Sketch can't move rapidly around the panel, and button slamming yields unpredictable results.Ĭomics and video games are as natural a combo as deafness and roc'n'roll, they're just made to go together. Too bad the controls are imprecise and somewhat unresponsive. Sketch has a nice assortment of moves, including punches, kicks, jump kicks, blocks, and a shoulder ram. The combat in each panel is basically hand-to-hand, beat- em-up style. The challenge in each panel is to bust up enemy gangs, solve simple puzzles, or sometimes to accomplish both. To complete a page, Sketch must fight his way from panel to panel. To stay alive, you must maneuver through the comic strip's six pages.Įach Comix Zone page is laid out as a series of panels just like a real comic. When Mortus, a comic villain, warps from your strip into the real world, you're warped into the Comix Zone. You're Sketch Turner, a comic-strip artist. Despite gorgeous graphics and a clever page-by-page layout, the game's erratic controls and repetitive gameplay hold it back. Comix Zone tries to do what no game has really done successfully to date: Capture the authentic look and feel of a comic book and make it come alive in a game. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Her pointed forelocks are shoulder-length. Her long carnelian-red hair is worn in low pigtails held by a small braided segment of hair, and she has several thick locks sticking up, the left slightly pinned back with two black triangle clips. Uzume has fair skin and curved orange eyes. 7.2.1 Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation.7.1.5 Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online.7.1.4 Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls.7.1.3 MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies.7.1.1 Hyperdimension Neptunia Re Birth Trilogy.This may reference how many Falcom games were on Nintendo consoles.Blanc is a big fan of Falcom, and she even asks her for an autograph.Despite being the most foul mouthed and hateful goddess, Histoire believes that she cares for her people more than any other goddess.In a recent popularity poll, Blanc has placed 7th, just behind IF and beating Vert by 184 points.Despite maybe being the strongest power wise, she has poor endurance and is out of shape as shown in an event in Mk2.She wields a hammer easily, which usually only strong characters can wield. Despite her petite frame, it's possible Blanc may be the strongest power wise of the girls. ![]() In one of her official images the book she holds references Mario Bros., tying in with the Mario based cameos and puns, due to the Wii being a Nintendo system which Mario is on.She, Vert, and Neptune are the only goddesses that say they play video games.Blanc/Blanco means "colorless" or "blank" or, in other words, white.Though in Neptune V, she sports Famicom colors and Lowee is far more traditional eastern.Blanc/White Heart and her land is based on the Wii.Her combos are easy to learn and make her a very good member to have in one's party. Strangely, despite using a hammer, her attack power isn't very high, but she still can do great damage to an enemy. Interestingly enough, when Blanc transforms in MKII, she usually becomes louder and more temperamental, cursing more often and being less quiet.īlanc is a well-rounded character who has high HP and good defenses. She wanted to keep Green Heart around, who wanted to keep Black Heart around while Black Heart picked her, due to her bad attitude. White Heart's appearance indicates she may be the youngest of the four, considering her body remains practically unchanged.ĭuring the intro movie, White Heart is the Goddess to mention that Purple Heart was the one not picked by any of the others. Known for being the most violent of the four goddesses with a temper to match, she seems the least changed between forms in terms of personality. Though she was generally not rude and mean like in the game until later chapters when she was shown with a temper. In the manga she comes off as more quiet and stoic, only making blunt comments on occasion. She has a better relationship with the other CPU's though, especially Neptune. She has also become very tired and quiet due to their rowdy, naughty behavior to the point of being seemingly emo to some fans. In Mk2, Blanc is much more prone to anger than in the first game most likely due to Rom and Ram. But when said bandits insulted Nisa, the two of them teamed up and proceeded to beat them up. It's possible she may have a small respect/liking for Nisa, as she stated she didn't want to involve her in a fight with a rowdy group of bandits, meaning when angry she actually does have some people she won't hurt. Blanc also has little to no interactions with Black Heart. But she also has a strong hatred for Neptune that is revealed to be a form of jealousy. Usually this is Vert, who Blanc is incredibly jealous of due to her having big breasts. ![]() When upset, she takes her anger and rage out on anyone who displeases her, even her own sisters should be wary about this but they actually like to piss her off. However, underneath her calm and quiet exterior, Blanc is actually a very foul-mouthed girl with a short temper to match, to the point of swear covered boss fights She also loves to write and wishes to become an author, but unknown to herself, she isn't very good at it and doesn't realize she needs to work on other things to make an enjoyable story. She enjoys simple, quiet hobbies like reading during her spare time or trying to find a relaxing spot to do so. Blanc appears to be a shy, quiet type of girl who looks lifeless and dull in comparison to others. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, cervical radiculopathy can also cause sensory issues such as tingling and/or numbness in the fingers or hands, and motor problems such as lack of coordination, muscle weakness, and/or a loss of reflexes in the arms or legs. Where radicular pain is likely to be felt is dependent upon the location of the damaged nerve root(s), and in many cases, the pain only affects one side of the body. Radicular pain can be felt anywhere along the compressed nerve’s pathway, potentially far from the site of original nerve compression: into the arm, neck, chest, shoulders, upper back, and/or hand. If the nerve roots of the cervical spine are damaged, cervical radiculopathy can cause a number of symptoms felt anywhere along the pathway of the affected nerve.ĭamaged nerve roots in the cervical spine can cause a variety of symptoms with varying degrees of severity. When we look at the nerves that run through the cervical spine, these nerves send messages between the muscles and the brain, affecting musculoskeletal reflexes. When a nerve root is exposed to uneven pressure (compression), it can become irritated, inflamed, and/or damaged. The roots of the spinal nerves branch out through openings in the vertebrae called foramen.Īn important characteristic of spinal nerves, and nerves in general, is that they are like limbs of a tree, branching off in multiple directions, which is why radicular pain can be felt far from its site of origin. The cervical spine consists of 7 vertebral bodies, and the C5 and C6 vertebrae are commonly referred to as the stress vertebrae because they have to support the weight of the neck and head. ![]() The spine is naturally curved because it makes it stronger, more flexible, and better capable to absorb/distribute mechanical stress that’s incurred during movement.Īs the spine works in tandem with the brain to form the central nervous system (CNS) and facilitate brain-body communication, spinal conditions can disrupt the sending/receiving of messages that control thoughts, senses, movement, and reflexes. In a healthy spine, each section has a characteristic curvature type, and when viewed from the front and back, the spine will appear straight, but when viewed from the sides, it will have a soft ‘S’ shape. There are three main sections of the spine: cervical (neck), thoracic (middle/upper back), and lumbar spine (lower back). How to Sleep with Cervical Radiculopathy. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the primary reason that customer bills go up over time - although there are also instances where Spectrum’s “current rate” will go up for your subscription tier, or where extra fees or services might be added to your bill due to clerical errors or changing policies at Spectrum. The plans are regional, generally divided between their “upgrade” service areas (like the Los Angeles Spectrum area and the standard Spectrum service area (mostly suburbs).Īs you can see, you’re looking at anywhere from 10–80% price hikes, depending on the promotion you signed up on (these change a few times a year). ![]() The final pricing does eventually show up on bills, so I’ve been able to track down the current “standard rates”: The 33%+ bill jump is a total surprise to them. Thanks to this pricing strategy, Spectrum customers often don’t realize their intial price is a timed promotion at all. Customers losing their "introductory rate" in 2023 will see their bill jump $30 instead of the $20–25 advertised when they signed up. This actually happened recently, when Spectrum bumped the base rate for internet-only service to $79.99 from the previous $74.99. No matter how you ask, they will be hesitant to reveal the standard rate - or the fact that the “standard rate” can change at any time. You can expect to get a mail offer like this every two weeks or so for the duration of your account. Once you've had an account for 12 months, they switch to aggressively pushing add-on packages like TV. In fact, if you ask a Spectrum agent what the final price is, they will invariably say: “the standard rate at the time your promotion expires.” Spectrum offers very low rates, but only for new customers. Unfortunately, this fact is often downplayed when customers sign up. This means that the price they advertise is not the actual cost of service - it’s a promotional rate for the first 12 months or so. Like most cable companies, Spectrum uses a tactic called “ introductory pricing” to sell internet service.
