![]() Two openings this summer underscore Silo Ridge’s commitment to its club members. No matter who you are as an adult, life is simpler as a kid.” I wanted to bring back good memories, childhood memories. At Silo Ridge and other Discovery Land Club properties, you feel like you’ve escaped to simpler times. “A lot of people in our demographic are type A,” Meldman explains. There, members can grab fishing line, tackle, worms, and ice cream sandwiches. Nothing epitomizes the Rockwellian attributes of Silo Ridge quite like the bait shop. A remnant of an old iron-ore mine in the crystalline lake has depths of 90 feet, so Silo Ridge made the most of it by installing a cliff jump and floating dock. A water trampoline floats in the center of it all, surrounded by families paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing. A 150-foot waterslide splashes into the compound’s pristine pool, while a sandy beach along the recreational lake resembles the Amalfi coast with its colorful umbrellas and Adirondack chairs. In the center of the community’s neighborhoods, several amenities activate during the warmer months. It’s far more relaxed than one could imagine for a place serving meticulously portioned caviar and uni atop oysters. Not only do people stop here midgame they visit without playing at all. It features a much-loved margarita machine and an ever-changing menu that runs the gourmet gamut from amuse-bouches to premium comfort foods. The “Back Porch” within reach of holes 12 and 16 is a full restaurant. Accessible from the third and sixth hole, the “Front Porch” offers, among other options, an ornate Bloody Mary bar for adults and an ice cream maker for children. But it’s Silo Ridge’s comfort stations (two stops along the course, with delectable, diverse food and drink options) that set it apart. This manifests in unexpected ways- from shoeless and shirtless playing, if one chooses, to classic cars as decorations. In fact, Meldman’s approach to all his developments stems from a desire to get his children to visit golf courses. ![]() Family is the focus-with vertical memberships accommodating everyone from grandparents and grandchildren to pets.Īs a connective carpet, the golf course is the most obvious amenity. There is no dress code, though all tend to be respectful of the affluent environment. Perhaps surprisingly, the values at this residential club diverge from the buttoned-up rulebooks that typify the historic country clubs dotting America. Homeowners on-site have access to a cornucopia of amenities that rival-and arguably surpass-those of many leading luxury resorts. Silo Ridge encompasses 850 acres, with an adjacent 500 acres placed into conservation as part of the North American Land Trust. Values diverge from the buttoned-up rulebooks that typify country clubs. This vision incorporates unheard-of amenities that aim to please each member of the family. ![]() An even more impressive outpost will be built in the near future as part of a master plan by Discovery Land Company founder and CEO Mike Meldman along with Pedro Torres of Silo Ridge co-developer Stoneleaf Partners. Right now, Ridge House-with its polished “terrain-to-table” menu by chef Jonathan Wright-acts as a temporary clubhouse. Views stretch through Dutchess County, the Hudson Valley, and neighboring Berkshire Mountains, with wooded valleys and slopes between. From this rustic restaurant’s porch, one can survey much of Silo Ridge Field Club, the ultra-exclusive, members-only community it serves. Ridge House perches on a picturesque hill in Amenia, New York, surrounded by the manicured greens of an 18-hole, Tom Fazio–designed golf course. ![]()

Much as Forward Unto Dawn introduced the character Thomas Lasky ahead of his video game debut, Nightfall acquaints viewers with ONI Agent Jameson Locke (played by Mike Colter) prior to his appearance in Halo 5. The impact of that change is minimal, as there are no extra scenes inserted and the transitions between episodes are still pretty noticeable.Įssentially, Nightfall serves as a prequel to the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians. The only difference between the original web series and this Blu-ray cut is that the five episodes have been edited together into one continuous film. Feel free to check those out if you missed them: It eventually needs to do more with the concept of stranded space marines, and it needs to try harder to make us care about said space marines in the process.I'll stick to a general, spoiler-free review of the core Nightfall film, as I've already tackled in-depth reviews of the individual web episodes. Did Scott actually steer the project in this direction, or is it more a case of writer Paul Scheuring telling the story he thinks viewers want from a Halo series that features Scott's name? The distinction is important in the sense that Nightfall can't simply coast by on its similarities to films like Aliens and Pitch Black. There's definitely an Alien/Prometheus vibe to the show now given the hostile, barren landscape and the notion of space marines being picked off by a relentless alien nemesis. Will we learn Aiken's full back-story, or is this show merely teasing at something that's meant to be a focus in Halo 5? Even more than with the first episode, I'm extremely curious to know how much input producer Ridley Scott actually had into Nightfall's story. The question is how much Nightfall will actually delve into that mystery. There's a promising mystery there given everything we know about the Spartans says that they never retire and never have normal lives of friendship and attachment. ![]() Aiken is a former member of the Spartan program who somehow was allowed to leave and seek out a more normal life on Sedra. Locke points out the character's big hook here. On the Sedran side, only Aiken stands out as a character with potential. As the situation on the Halo grows more dire and more lives are lost, this flaw will continue to drag Nightfall down. They don't really have personality traits or a good group dynamic going. All we really learn about these characters is that they're hardcore soldiers who only care about each other don't respect the Sedran military. Locke and his team are so wooden and so generic that I don't feel anything as they begin falling before the wrath of the Hunter. The danger Nightfall faces is the fact that it's quickly turning into a survival-driven action/horror story, yet it's tough to care about most of the characters. If the visual side of things improved in this episode, the story still has quite a ways to go. But given this show's status as a free, web-based project rather than a Hollywood movie or even a broadcast TV project, the special effects are respectable enough. Sure, there were still plenty of shots where it was obvious a character was standing against a green screen. The dark lighting and terrain probably help in terms of pulling off more outlandish special effects. They also made for a more convincing and visually ambitious enemy than the lone, poorly rendered Elite. It was a novelty just to see the worms unleashed and not confined to their usual armor-clad, Fuel Rod Cannon-wielding mode from the games. This foe made for a much better action sequence than the previous episode's Elite chase. The troops squared off with another iconic Halo enemy this week in the form of a hive of Hunter worms. ![]() Thankfully, the first-person perspective shots were used sparingly rather than becoming a gimmicky crutch. ![]() It was cool to see the HUD displays in their helmets and their suit computers scanning environmental objects in a way very reminiscent of Halo 3: ODST. Again, the look and feel of Nightfall became much more Halo-y as we saw the troops suit up in full battle gear and begin their mission. And the idea that the the ONI troops have a ticking clock on their hands in terms of the scorching temperatures daylight will bring certainly adds tension to their mission. It's interesting to see such a familiar landmark from the games so fundamentally changed. Now the broken Halo is scorched by the neighboring sun and a treasure trove of dangers for our heroes. ![]() Gone are the lush, green valleys and flowing rivers of the old ringworld. The setting in this episode shifted away from the planet Sedra and to the remains of the Halo installation Master Chief destroyed in the climax of the original game. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can do so by right-clicking anywhere on it and choosing “Video > Set as Wallpaper”. Open your video with VLC media player and set the video as a background. Pixabay is a good place to start if you don't have one to hand. For this tutorial, you'll also need a suitable video file. As such, many users will have it downloaded already, but you can find it here if you don't. VLC media player is a tried and tested video player that can open just about any file type. How to Set a Video as a Background using the VLC Wallpaper feature It's less resource-intensive but has the downside of hiding your desktop icons and desktop context menu. If you have a mid-range PC, we recommend you stick to the VLC section of this tutorial. If you're on a laptop, this additional resource usage will also drain your battery faster.Īs a result, we recommend you only a live wallpaper in Windows 10 if you have a powerful PC and you're plugged into the mains. Windows 10 animated wallpapers will consume more resources on your PC and could degrade performance.

The latter will let you chose from a preset selection of animated wallpapers or make your own from a video or even choose an URL to use it for a YouTube wallpaper. The former can be used to set a video as your background. ![]() We'll be using two apps to achieve this effect today: VLC media player and Lively Wallpapers. However, while live wallpapers in Windows 10 have been discontinued, you can bypass this if you set a video as a background or add animated wallpapers in Windows 10 via a third-party app. ![]() While Windows 97 and XP let users easily set a moving image as their background, in Windows 10 that's not the case. 2 How to Use Animated Wallpapers / Video Wallpapers / YouTube Wallpapers in Windows 10 via Lively Wallpaper.1 How to Set a Video as a Background using the VLC Wallpaper feature. ![]() ![]() The base easily converts to a nested position making this ideal for parents tight on space or for transporting to grandma’s house.

Parry System – armour doesn’t disappear at the end of the turn like in other deck builders so the first thought is to get as much armour as possible, which is still completely viable! However, if you have the exact same amount of armour as the amount of damage the enemy is dealing, when they attack this will trigger a parry and they will be stunned for their next turn. My suggestion would be to add an interactive tutorial because the UI is confusing enough and who wants to watch a video instead of actually playing? NEOVERSE tries teaching you the core gameplay and new systems they’ve implemented using only a video. You can also use items (you can only hold 3) that give you different benefits to swing the game in your favour and relying on skills to help you out. However, unlike other deck builders, every time you play a card you draw a new one (unless there are no cards in your draw pile). You build a deck by winning fights and then collecting your reward, using the shop to purchase cards and completing optional objectives. Other than the additional mechanics, NEOVERSE plays pretty similar to Slay the Spireand other deck builders. I’m a big fan of deck builders and card games in general, but the ultimate question is, will you still find yourself playing this game on and off for a long time to come? Also, it’s Tino Games Inc.’s first venture onto consoles and PC. NEOVERSE is the latest deck builder trying to make it big after the surge that followed Slay the Spire’s release. ![]() ![]() Ideas for custom Chance and Community Chest cards If you’re looking to replace missing Chance and Community Chest cards from your Classic Monopoly set, take a look at this list of Monopoly Chance and Community Chest cards to see what is written on them.
