This test is unbiased, it tests and grades all providers on the same criteria. Testing your speed while using other devices simultaneously may impact the accuracy of the results. When providers host their own speed tests they eliminate the variables that you're here to test. This testing tool helps you to speed test Suddenlink internet connection using a reliable third party speed test server. A third party opinion is necessary and the provider shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the process. For example, if someone is surfing the Internet on their computer (1.5 Mbps) and someone else is streaming a 1080p. If you have two devices working at the same time, then you need to add up the speed requirements. We believe that it's a conflict of interest when Internet service providers operate their own speed tests. These speeds are for devices using the Internet.

However, since May 4th or Star Wars Day is only days away, and considering Star Wars has already confirmed a Vader and Kenobi rematch, a small tease of this duel seems like a safe bet for that important date. However, since the trailer and other promotional imagery have shown him in more traditional Jedi apparel, it's unlikely that he will stay incognito for long.Īs for the other photos, they only offer new views of a character and planet that have already been revealed, meaning that there's little else Lucasfilm is ready to unveil just yet. This is likely due to the Jedi Master having to hide his identity on Tatooine as he watches over a young Luke Skywalker. While Star Wars fans are eager for marketing of any form ahead of the show's release, the only new reveal from this batch of photos is that Kenobi has acquired some new threads in the years following Revenge of the Sith. Lucasfilm Begun, Obi-Wan Kenobi's Marketing Has While this isn't the first still that Lucasfilm has released of Rupert Friend's Grand Inquisitor, this new image offers a better look at the Jedi hunter and his double-bladed, spinning lightsaber. However, the Jedi Master isn't wearing his traditional Jedi garb, but rather sports new, blue apparel. The second is of Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan, who appears to be on Tatooine. The first image offers a look at Kenobi on the new Hong Kong-inspired metropolitan planet of Daiyu which was shown in earlier stills and in the series' first trailer. Hello, there! Ahead of its long-awaited May 27 debut on Disney+, GamesRadar has released new stills from Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor. New Obi-Wan Kenobi Stills Have Been Revealed The Jedi-hunting Inquisitors, who were first seen in Star Wars Rebels, are hot on the trail, including the Grand Inquisitor - a former Jedi Temple Guard played by Rupert Friend.įollowing the series' debut trailer and the news that Obi-Wan Kenobi would be releasing its first two episodes on May 27, Star Wars fans have seen or heard little about the upcoming show. While their post-Mustafar reunion is sure to be a rematch for the ages, Vader isn't Obi-Wan's only adversary in his stand-alone show. And, even though the series is set ten years after Revenge of the Sith, for Star Wars fans, the nostalgia is strong with this one. ![]() Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobinot only stars Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan but also Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ premieres May 25 on the Disney+ streaming service.For the first time since 2006, live-action Star Wars is revisiting that more civilized age: the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Here are the pictures from the EW article, starting with the cover. It’s just got a different lane and a different feeling.” It’s got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. Harold teases a new planet called Daiyu, which he says “sort of has a Hong Kong feel to it. ![]() “We find Obi-Wan at the beginning of our story rather broken, and faithless, and beaten, somewhat given up,” he says.ĭeborah Chow serves as the series’ director, and writer Joby Harold promises the series’ location will not be limited to Tatooine. McGregor tells EW that the series opens with the Jedi master facing a personal crisis. Of course, Hayden Christensen will make his long-awaited return as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Here are just some of the many highlightsfrom any point of view. “They share a common dark-side goal, they’re on the same team,” Ingram says of Reva and her bosses. The landmark issue EW ’s final print edition before the long-running magazine goes all-digital features Ewan McGregor’s beloved (and gloriously bearded) Obi-Wan on the cover, while revealing tons of new photos, characters, and story details. The series’ new villain is also seen: a Jedi-hunting Inquisitor named Reva (Moses Ingram) who serves the Grand Inquisitor and Darth Vader. The pictures not only feature Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, but also Joel Edgerton, who returns as Uncle Owen. The images first appeared on EW.com, and include some behind-the-scenes details. Entertainment Weekly has dropped the first images from “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the Star Wars live-action series coming to Disney+ on May 25. Should you struggle in a specific event, it doesn’t matter where you place – the game basically says you did your best and gives you the credit needed to move on to the next race. Players can tweak just about anything in the game, and most events allow for any vehicle to be used. The dreaded Game of Thrones saying “Winter is coming” carries some weight here too, as racing is the most challenging in this season. This brings about the problem of locking the player into the less-than-desirable conditions for a week, but players have the freedom to change seasons for specific races should they not enjoy specific weather. The game begins with a lengthy three- to five-hour showcase that moves from one season to the next, but then settles into a weekly rotation for each. All four versions of the world are beautifully realized and add even more excitement to the already great racing mix. The weather greatly impacts the way you race, and sometimes forces you to retreat to your garage to bring out rides that are more suitable for the conditions. During summer, a track may offer breakneck speeds on dry pavement, whereas the winter variation requires careful drifting across thick snow and treacherous ice. This means the open world features four distinct variations, each with varying driving conditions. Rather than just having certain sections of the open world be set in summer or winter, the entire play space transforms when a season rolls in. Players also experience all four seasons that affect this region. Forza Horizon 4 turns Britain’s beauty and history into the ultimate playground for cars, complete with some of the biggest jumps you’ll see in a racing game.īritain doesn’t just bring a different cosmetic charm to the Horizon Festival. Ripping through wheat fields, smashing through fences, and launching high into the air to land on the rooftop of a century-old church are just some of the chaotic things you'll be pushed to do. From the sprawling farmlands and quaint villages along dirt roads, this area of the world may seem too peaceful for racing, but Playground quickly reveals that you won’t just be looking at these sights from afar you’ll be racing directly through them by any means necessarily. This is one of those experiences that you just can’t help but lose yourself in, and Playground Games rewards you well for almost every second you spend behind the wheel.Īfter tearing up the Australian outback, the Horizon Festival moves to Great Britain in this installment. Forza Horizon 4 offers an absurd amount of things to do, most of which are fantastic, and all of it is backed up by exceptional driving mechanics. As you pick away at each of the game’s 26 distinct campaign threads (yes, you read that correctly), you may find yourself distracted by hidden billboards, landmarks, seek-and-find missions, and instanced events that pop up at the top of every hour. Hop behind the wheel of a new car, and the game dangles another dozen in front of you. Travel down a new road, and you’re alerted that you still have 500 more to discover. Complete a race, and another three appear. Forza Horizon 4 almost overwhelms with the amount of great content it offers. ![]() The numerous power-ups and guns you can pick up as you traverse the dungeon show off the games humour, from pillows that have a chance of stunning enemies at close range, to guns that shoot other guns that fire bullets simultaneously. The rooms are full of destructible objects that fly apart as you shoot or crash into them, adding to the chaos but never really cluttering the view. Each of the four characters you can choose from play relatively similar to each other but have distinctive abilities such as the Marine’s extra armour and the Convict’s ability to inflict extra damage after being hit. Gungeon has a charming pixel art style and sense of humour that belies its difficulty. You have a limited number of hearts representing your life and once you lose these (and you will) you’re all the way back to the start of the first level no matter how many floors or bosses you’ve cleared. ![]() Doing this involves elaborate and often intense shoot-outs as the screen fills with bullets coming from all directions and you run around like a maniac, tipping over tables for cover or diving behind walls looking for time to reload. The gungeon takes the form of a series of rooms, each filled with an assortment of baddies that you must clear out before you can move onto the next one. Already out on PC, Xbox One and PS4, Enter the Gungeon has just been released on the Nintendo Switch and the console’s portability coupled with Gungeon’s shoot, die and repeat gameplay loop makes it a natural fit for Nintendo’s console.Ī bullet hell shooter with rogue-like elements, Enter the Gungeon sees you choosing from four character classes and entering a procedurally generated dungeon (or gungeon, if you prefer), looking for the ultimate weapon – a gun that can destroy the past. Every time I died, I’d just hit that quick restart button and I’d be straight back into it, onwards again to certain death. It’s a weird, wacky and punishingly difficult game that I could not stop playing, even though I wanted to time and time again. Even fewer have given me the opportunity to use the word ‘gungeon’. Very few games have made me swear as much as Enter the Gungeon has. “ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!” I’ve bellowed inarticulately as yet another character meets a quick and fruitless grisly end right after finding some super-cool pick-up. “OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE, JOHN!” I’ve cried when failing to time a dodge roll sufficiently to avoid a wave of bullets. “BLOODY HELL, WALKER!” I’ve shouted to the empty house, as I screw up and trundle into the path of enemy fire for no damned reason. I can’t think of a game in recent times where I’ve scolded myself out loud so often. And then when I quickly died soon after, it was horribly missed as I readjusted. It completely rewrote how I played the game, throwing the furniture to create attack opportunities, rather than as a means of defence. The best I’ve found so far is something that means a bonus Blank is fired off every time you tip a table. Or it could be a bonus item, passive or fired off at will. It might be a laser beam that bounces off enemies to cause havoc in whole rooms, or a bow whose arrows explode when you reload, or a ridiculous double beam of energy that weaves in a helix (“inspired by real science” according to its description) that’s a pain in the arse to aim. Each level has at least one or two rooms with locked chests, containing a surprise. Health drops and more ammo are horribly rare and very precious – if anything, a new weapon is more likely. A neat and silly tutorial at the start walks you through all that.īut your real hope is finding a new weapon or item. Alongside those you can tip over tables to create impromptu (and very breakable) shields, or hide behind barrels until they’re ruined. Think of it is diving into a somersault, leaping over the blasts and then tuck-n-rolling. The other is your dodge-roll, which provides a moment of invulnerability in the first half. From the start of each floor you have two bomb-things (Blanks) that remove all the fired bullets on the screen, which becomes one of your two most important tactics. But as you progress you find random drops that can dramatically change your game. A huge gull with a gatling gun, two giant bullets with goofy faces, a terrifying (yet charming) King Bullet who lets loose ridiculous volleys of attacks.Ĭomplete a floor, kill the boss, and your reward is more, tougher, faster. ![]() The whole game has a remarkably upbeat nature, cheerful where the genre is so often grim, utterly lovely animated bullet enemies, delightful ghosts, birds that sort of lay blaster-eggs out of their mouths, beefy bullet-spraying sentient iron maidens, and each level with a random boss that is certainly not taking itself seriously. What matters is picking between The Marine, The Convict, The Pilot or The Hunter (I especially love The Hunter, with her slow but powerful crossbow), and then plunging into the rapid difficulty of clearing out room after room of ridiculously cute enemies. Something about defeating the future to change the past? I’m not entirely sure – it wasn’t really coherent. Movement, the twin-stick aiming, the ridiculous numbers of guns and items, different play styles for different classes, randomised levels that feel coherent, and gorgeous animation make it feel slick and idiotically moreish. I am RUBBISH at Enter The Gungeon, but boy am I having a good time being rubbish at it.ĭodge Roll’s permadeath bullet-storm-ish dungeon crawler may not do anything enormously original in the retro-pixel-post-Meat-Boy/Nuclear-Throne space, but bloody hell, it does everything so well. ![]() Do we need another pixel graphics roguelite dungeon crawler with permadeath? DO WE? Well, if they're as good as Enter The Gungeon we do.

![]() Acceleration Frequently Asked Questions: Is acceleration pushing a child and therefore stressful to them? Acceleration allows gifted students the opportunity to learn at a pace that is more suited to their natural rate of learning. Some examples include: Grade-skipping, where one or more full grade levels are omitted, for example a student may move from grade 3 directly into grade 5 Early entrance to school, where a student begins their schooling (usually Kindergarten) at a younger age than normal Grade telescoping where students work through the curriculum of two or more grades in one academic year Subject-based acceleration, where a student does the work of a higher grade level for a particular subject either: In their own classroom but working on higher grade material By attending a higher grade classroom for that subject Through dual enrolment - also enrolling in a higher level of schooling for a particular subject, eg studying a university subject while still in high school Extensive research has demonstrated that acceleration is an effective and appropriate method to cater for gifted students academically, socially and emotionally (Assouline et al., 2015a, 2015b Colangelo et al., 2004a Colangelo et al., 2004b). There are many methods of acceleration (Department of Education, 2012 Ronksley-Pavia, 2011). It is vital to ensure that acceleration, of whatever type, is something that the student desires. Acceleration involves matching the level, complexity and pace of curriculum with the readiness and motivation of the student and will assist in ensuring gifted learners become “confident…successful lifelong learners” (Council of Australian Governments Education Council, 2019). Acceleration is an educational intervention that moves students through an educational program at a faster rate than usual or younger than typical age (Salkind, 2008). ![]() This dough was baked in an oven 25 degrees too cool.
