If the engine was more openly made, marketted and sold for funds, THEN the game was made, I'm sure spore would have lived far more to its potential and dark spore wouldn't have been created, or at least been so ♥♥♥♥. Excluding a few exceptions, this normally leads to disaster in the AAA world since SO much needs to go into engine building, hence why things like Unreal engine, source, ext exist. Then we had overhyped marketting that caused an even shorter lifespan by dissapointing everyone, and a post dev cycle that lasted for a bit of dlc and then poof, most everything was abandoned, engine useless, all because EA can't figure out a simple idea.ĭO NOT BUILD A BRAND NEW ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ENGINE AND ONLY INTEND ONE GAME/FRANCHISE TO RUN ON IT. This took a toll on spore of course who couldn't even get the best team going since the engine was lumped into spore's production thus half the team was focused on the engine, and the other half on the game that ran on it. do you realize how hard if at all possible it is to get money back from making an engine on a SINGLE GAME? EA made a huge mistake by basically building a single game on a 90% custom engine. Instead of proper time usage and funding, most of it went into the engine. The reason Spore bombed was because EA had to get it out to appease money hungry investors who looked short term. EA was going down the tube long before anyone realized, they just hid it really well, sometime around 2011-2012 it all just came out and EA stopped caring about good face value in ANY form. I know this is really late to the RIP maxis party but i just wanted to say this eventually, even if it was late, and/or an obvious statement to some.ĭidn't help with the horrid marketting, time constraints, ext. Until EA changes (if they ever do before they ruin themselves) and shows that they can handle companies, games, and licences responsibly as they once did, this opinion of mine shall stand. I'd rather this title be left untainted with no sequel than a sequel only to muddy the name spore. Should it be under direct development the game will likely be riddled with micro transactions, chopped up DLC, lack of care or creativity and an overall mess of bugs. If left to EA alone, spore 2 might be outsourced at best and at worst be under one of its next victim dev teams in its long list of company absorbings (see every damn good company they have taken over, ♥♥♥♥ on their titles, and spat back out when the money was sucked dry). I am afraid enough for Battlefront 3 because EA has been milking and destroying their old titles. ![]() Recently Maxis was closed due to EA, and I know this news is late but i just want to say I hope I never see spore 2 without maxis running it because i do not trust (nor should anyone) EA with titles anymore. ![]() Maxis was the driving force of spore, the game that suffered overhype from a man who shall remain anonymous (though many know exactly who) and still became a classic. So I know many people will either rage at this title, question this title, but hopefully understand or will understand this title soon.

Jonah's story delineates his own impatience because he could not handle the burden of what he was supposed to do - preach to the Ninevites.

He closely associates it with poverty, closing with an admonition not to grumble or fight one's fate, as Jonah did (ll. The narrator/homilist begins by praising patience, setting it among eight virtues (which he calls blessings) or typically known as the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-10 from the Sermon on the Mount, which he hears in mass one day. The unidentified narrator speaks in the first person throughout the work, posing as an autobiography. The very last line repeats the opening line of the poem, giving it a kind of cyclic feel. Alliteration is used consistently throughout the poem, usually with three alliterating words per line. and elaborate paraphrase of exemplum or exempla, from the Old Testament.Ī didactic, homiletic poem, “Patience” consists of 530 lines. discussion of another passage from the New Testament in elucidation of that text, 4. announcement of the text from the New Testament, 3. For instance, both homilies clearly follow the same pattern: 1. There are certain mannerisms found in Patience that Pearl does not have. It also resembles Latin poems by Tertullian and Bishop Marbod. Of Patience, considered the slightest of the four poems, its only manifest source is the Vulgate Bible. The first complete publication of Patience was in Early English Alliterative Poems in the West Midland Dialect of the fourteenth century, printed by the Early English Text Society in 1864. The manuscript, Cotton Nero A.x is in the British Library. This is thought to be true because the techniques and vocabulary of regional dialect of the unknown author is that of Northwest Midlands, located between Shropshire and Lancashire. Its unknown author, designated the " Pearl Poet" or "Gawain-Poet", also appears, on the basis of dialect and stylistic evidence, to be the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Cleanness (all ca. Patience ( Middle English: Pacience) is a Middle English alliterative poem written in the late 14th century. Poem, didactic, homiletic and alliterative verse Together with Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl (poem) and Cleanness He knew, among other things, how to sail a medieval passenger ship from its mooring to open sea, how to dress the carcass of a deer or a boar at the end of a royal hunt, and how a knight might flatter a noble and beautiful lady in the most intimate of situations while politely evading her seductive overtures.Middle English, North West Midlands dialect Taken together, these works offer us a wide-ranging portrait of life in the late Middle Ages from the point of view of an independent-minded, learned, and cosmopolitan Englishman, a man as conversant with the conduct of life in great households as with Christian tradition and doctrine. But none became part of the established literary canon until the second half of the nineteenth century, when the single manuscript copies in which they survive were edited and printed. All exhibit the dramatizing powers and metrical virtuosity of a master-poet. Together with these two, Patience, Cleanness, and Saint Erkenwald make up the complete works of their anonymous author. ![]() Pearl, a dream vision, presents its poignant story of the education of a misguided Christian soul in metrically intricate and verbally ornate stanzas that add up to an overarching numerical design. ![]() Luckily we had about a week of rehearsals before we started shooting so we had some time to get to know each other, and yeah, she's great." It's always interesting when you go onto a show that's already established and the team's worked together before and everyone knows each other and you're kind of the new kid, but she was really welcoming. I was going to ask you what it was like working with Billie. We tried to be professional the whole time but that was the one day we got a bit hysterical, because the scenes were just so funny." During one of the scenes it was half an hour and we couldn't stop making each other laugh. The lines are so brilliantly written, but we could just not stop laughing. We have a scene where we have a kind of stand-off. Charlotte is slightly aggressive and it was just great fun to spar with Billie. It was just a couple of scenes where we'd be in a small confined space and under the lights, and yeah, it wasn't very comfortable." Most of the time we'd be filming on location outside and it would be fine, I wouldn't get too warm. So once you're hot you just get hotter and hotter inside the latex, so that's not great. And there's also nowhere for your sweat to go. The only thing is, if you start to get hot your skin can't breathe. "It's surprisingly comfortable! Much more comfortable than if you were doing a period drama and they put you in a corset. They're very beautiful, classy costumes, just made of latex." They're not all underwear - there are beautifully-made costumes. Most if not all of my costumes are latex. And there were great costumes - hair and make-up and the costume department went to town with my character as well. You can behave towards people in a way that you would never do in real life. But definitely there were sides to her that were really fun to bring out. ![]() You do get to see a different side to her later. There are elements of her character which are really fun to play. I had to do my research before we started and it opened my eyes to a whole new world! I'd say she's not really like me. "I'm not a call girl, I'm not a dominatrix! I found it quite funny I'd been cast as this character. And she's very different from the characters I've played before, which I was very pleased about - the character I played before in Sherlock was a very demure, very sweet character, so it was nice to do something utterly different." She's not just a bitch, she's quite quirky as well, so that attracted me to her. She kind of doesn't distinguish between her professional life and her private life - she treats everyone with the same disdain. So she's a very strong character, no-nonsense. She's a call girl as well, a high-class call girl, but she specialises in being a dominatrix. "Her name is Charlotte and she is the arch-nemesis of Billie's character Belle. It's the writing, really, and they've got some great directors on this series as well - these new young guys - and they had lots of great ideas so it was just a great team and it was a brilliant job to do."Ĭan you tell us a bit about your character? They've really upped the comedy in this series. I think it's brilliantly done, very funny, well-written, and Billie I've always thought has been great in it. I found out later that they had all their hopes riding on that meeting and luckily it must have gone okay because then they offered me the part!"įrom your perspective, why did you want a part in the show? Right at the end of the casting process she apparently came bursting into the room saying, 'I figured out who that actress is and she's coming in to see us tomorrow'. ![]() And everyone agreed, and then they kind of forgot. One of the producers had thought of me right at the beginning of their casting process and she couldn't remember my name, but she said, 'There's an actress I think would be great for a part, we should see her'. Actually I was cast only a week before we began filming, so it was very last minute. I wasn't aware that they'd been looking for quite a few months for someone to play the part of the arch-nemesis of Belle. "I got a call out of the blue about the part in Secret Diary. How did your role on Secret Diary come about? Now she's starring in Secret Diary Of A Call Girl as Belle's new rival Charlotte, so we gave her a ring to find out more about appearing on the show, working with Billie Piper and wearing rather a lot of latex. You might well recognise Gemma Chan - after being a model on Project Catwalk, she's guest starred in shows like Doctor Who, Sherlock and The IT Crowd.

The first thing I actually plant inside is my onions. Potatoes like to go into a cold soil, but young leaves should be covered if frost threatens. Carrots can also be planted early, but they should be covered for another month to thwart the carrot weevil. There are many plants that don’t mind a bit of frost-peas, snow peas, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, Napa cabbage, beets, parsnips, turnips, radishes, Swiss chard, kale, pansies, snap dragons and sweet peas. Further south, you can begin much earlier. Here, in New England, we can’t do a lot in the garden before April.

Look in catalogues and gardening books for lists of the vegetables that are related, such as tomatoes, potatoes and peppers. I’m not interested in making it easy for either bugs or diseases to find their favorite plants from last year. I have my beds on a three year rotation, according to plant families.

I stay away from chemicals and “quick fix” additives.īack to the map (how I do get off track sometimes!). This is in addition to either old manure or compost. I want the trace minerals that are an essential part of good health to be included in my vegetables so, at planting time, I sprinkle greensand, azomite powder and kelp meal on all of them. ![]() A nearby farm could have some old manure available at a reasonable price or check with your local garden store for bagged material. Most of my beds are about three feet wide (except for the ones up against the outside fence which I can only access from one side-these are preferably only two feet wide). Keep the beds relatively narrow you want to be able to comfortably reach into the middle while sitting or kneeling nearby.
