Waching daily May 1 2017

A Object palette is a list of objects that will save time when building and cluttering.

It randomly places objects so you don't have to be creative to create good looking locations.

It can also Automatically generate tilt and scaling so you don't have to try to make things look natural.

You can make several lists, you can put bushes into one list and office equipment into another. 

Its just so much faster than searching for items in the object window.

And it's a good way to make sure no asset gets left out because you forgot about it.

To open the object palette window you can use the shortcut Shift O or you can click on "World" and "Object Palette Editing".

To make a object palette, simply select an object and then drag and drop it into the object palette window.

To remove an object, just select it and press delete.

When you are done adding objects to your list, just hit save and name your list.

Incase you download a OPAL instead of making it, simply put the .opl file into the OPAL folder.

It's located where you installed the Creation Kit.

Just create the folder if you don't have it.

To place an object from your list, make sure none OR all items are selected then hold "ctrl"+"alt" and left click where you want to place it.

If you want to place specific objects from your list, simply select them and place them like normal.

If you have a long list you can use the search function.

There are some settings that can further ease the cluttering process.

Angle let's you have a set rotation amount on the X Y or Z axis.

You can also randomise the rotation by entering a number into the right box.

It will add or subtract to the number on the left.

Conform to slope will angle the object to the surface you click on.

Sink will lower the object into the ground, but the randomise option isn't really useful here.

It will sink objects randomly but it can also place objects in the air.

Scale will make a object larger or smaller.

For trees i have mine set at 1 and the randomiser set to 0.15

The scale of the trees will be between 0.85 and 1.15.

That was all on object palettes, I hope you learned something by watching this video. Thanks for watching

No, one group

Oh, you're right

Those are a lot of members

I just want to see where is the bull

I'm so confused,

I wonder if she is the face of the group

Princess charming?

for anything bad I've done

and everything bad I'm gonna do

Okay, sexy vixen!

There goes daddy

Were those his fingers at the beginning of the video?

the crusty ones?

Maybe?

Princesses

I like this red that's hapenning

I like it

I feel like this is a symbolization of love,

I don't know the meaning of this song

but I know that red symbolizes wealth or love so I'm wondering

There are so many though

Yes daddy

dance break!

I don't know how to dance

That must be a Prince Charming

Wait what?

wait, lesbian love here too?

I don't know but it's kind of funny how she's the only blonde

She's really into her

The videos, there were like twelve of them dancing together

She said, bitch you die

Some American Beauty in here

You could just do that

You see what I mean now?

So there are five officially new guys

Wait what?

That bull had the most humongous amount of snot

coming from his nose

Exactly. These are only sixteen of them

So there is 32 girls who are like

I'm watching my team members in Spain

I like the music video

there would be that many members

there were so many members, but they only used like

five girls for the main vocals

Kinda sad, very sad

It's VERY sad

very sad

cause If I were them

I would want to be in the video

You know, acting

this is not my first Chinese pop music video that I've seen

but I think that the Chinese entertainment music video pop scene is growing

This is really impressive

I think it matched the video

the dance and the choreography matches the vibe of the video

The dance was very capturing

Especially the beginning

The way they were interacting with the dance and the clothing

okay whetever but so many people were left behind

what do you think of this song later

I like the dancing. The dancing was cool

Dancing was cool, I liked the bull

COD WW2 FEMALE CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION - WW2 MULTIPLAYER CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION - Duration: 3:19.

Yo whats going on guys it is your boy

Yogge here and today I have

another Call of Duty World War 2 video for

you guys today so guys today's video is

going to be talking about a little bit

of the customisation in the World War 2

multiplayer so we just got a little bit

of information today and I'll be telling

you guys everything about it after we

roll for that intro yeah guys if you

want to show support much as you would

like to subscribe if you're new enough

yeah now let's throw this time let's

roll that intro alright guys so today we

got some more news about the

customisation in World War 2

specifically if you can be a male or

female and the multiplayer because we

all know most of World War 2 was mailed

because female right I think females

gonna have that much rights back then as

they do now obviously if you know wants

to join the US military they can but

back then goes a little bit different

but I do think there were some females

back in World War 2 because Michael

Condrey says that there is a female

character that has some importance in

the campaign mode and I believe

throughout the livestream they also

talked about how like I believe in

London or something like that there was

like a it was like a woman a resistance

or something like that so it's gonna

play a part in the campaign and it's

also going to play a part in multiplayer

so if somebody tweeted out Michael

Condrey and he said he was very excited

by world war two but his question was

that can you also be a female character

for multiplayer and Michael Condrey

actually replied and said yes for sure

so that is a hundred percent

confirmation from the developer of the

game one of them at least that you can

play as a female in the game now the

reason why I think this is so important

is because this is leading to

customisation which also leads to supply

jobs now just from this guy's I can tell

you guys right now there's gonna be

surprised us and you are going to be

able to customize your character that's

an obvious thing you can see at first we

did not know if you could be able to

customize your character or not like for

example I really thought it was going to

be like you know modern warfare 2 what

if you're like on spinners you'd be like

a Russian soldier or if you were on like

or if you want a task force you were

kind of like a British soldier I thought

it's gonna be like that but I guess you

can customize your character any way you

want I don't know how it's going to work

between the factions

obviously most photos like a good side

and a bad side or you know the blue team

and the red team so I don't know how

that's gonna work if you want to like I

don't know but yeah guys female

characters and multiplayer are confirmed

again this is another step we're getting

closer to finding out more about the

game also multiplayer will be revealed

at e3 starts June 30 and all the way

throughout the 16th so that's basically

it for the video I just wanted to tell

you guys the information that we got

today and that's basically it tell me

what you guys think about in the

comments down below obviously you know

they have to put it in because Coughlin

doesn't want to be sexist and stuff like

that because since Cody goes they added

in female character and since that point

on we've been having female and male

characters and multiplayer I personally

think it was a good thing that they did

because actually it's actually more

historically accurate I believe it's

more accurate to history's basically

what I'm trying to say

so I guys anniversary as generations Eva

likes to do he doesn't say stay at the

end oh yeah I'll see you guys on the

next one

Hearthstone - 5 Crazy Fan-Made Legendary Spells! - Duration: 7:55.

Whats up guys its me, Disciple!

One of

the funnest things about Hearthstone is getting to look at new and exciting cards, and since

Blizzard can't release new cards every single day, some people turn to looking at and evaluating

fan made cards.

Although most of these don't make it into the game or maybe aren't designed as well

as they can be, some are really cool to look at, and a few fan made cards actually pretty

much predicted real cards that ended up getting made, like Fandral Staghelm.

That's why today we thought we'd explore something that doesn't exist in hearthstone

currently, and that's legendary spells!

Let's jump right in and take a look at some of the coolest fan made legendary spells we

could find!

First up let's take a look at Mt.Krushmore by Been_Ssbcomp.

This card is pretty sweet, and summoning three King Krush's at once should almost always

be enough to immediately win the game.

Now Mt. Krushmore does cost 25, which might seem like a ridiculous amount of mana, but

it's cost does get reduced by one for each friendly beast summoned this game.

Still though that means you would have to summon 15 beasts before this became castable.

Things like unleash and other cards that summon a lot of beasts at once definitely help, but

overall that pretty much makes Mt. Krushmore kind of like C'thun, where you have to cast

a bunch of minions first to get the payoff, which is a pretty cool design.

The card is definitely really broken with Naga Sea Witch though, since it makes it castable

at ten mana even if you haven't played a ton of beasts, so that might have to get fixed

before we see Mt.Krushmore make its way into a standard set.

Still though, definitely an awesome card and one that would be super fun to play with.

Up next we have Ascendence, a legendary priest spell created by jembishop.

Ascendence is essentially a build your own jaraxxus once you combine it with a deathrattle

minion.

You get the minions health + 15 as your starting life total, and your hero power becomes its

deathrattle effect.

It's also worth noting that you can cast this on your opponent's minion to remove it

in the process, but usually you'll end up casting it on your own powerful deathrattles.

So what are some of the better deathrattles to work with this card?

Well Sylvannas and Sneeds are probably two of the better options, since one would make

your hero power "two mana take control of a random enemy minion" and the other would

let your hero power make legendary minions.

Still as awesome as these hero powers sound, Ascendence is probably a little bit too slow

to actually ever see competitive play, since it costs ten mana so that you can't even

hero power the turn you cast it, and it needs a deathrattle minion to be on the board.

Definitely a cool design though.

Moving on we have Cataclysmic Destruction by zZBluewalrusZz, a pretty sweet board wipe

that destroys all minions and then summons deathwing dragonlord which has a deathrattle

that summons a ton of dragons.

Cataclysmic Destruction does start at 18 mana, making it initially uncastable, but costs

one less for each dragon played this game, both from you and your opponent.

The cost on this card is pretty steep and you'll have to cast quite a few dragons

to make it affordable, but the power level of the card is also really high so it would

be awesome to see if this card could get played or do anything in this or maybe a slower standard

format.

Next up its Saviour, a pretty sweet legendary paladin secret by VultokoFredrik.

After five turns of being a secret out on the board, Saviour restores you to full health.

Now obviously a full heal for only one mana is pretty OP, but Saviour is somewhat balanced

by the fact that you can't really control when it goes off really well.

Obviously you know what turn its going to go off, but if you play it by the time you

need the health it's too late, and if you play it before you need the health you might

not even end up wanting it.

This card might still need to be tweaked a little bit to not make it be too strong, but

it's still pretty cool that it's power level is balanced out by the fact that the

effect is so delayed.

It also stays on the field for a while as a secret, so it will help keep your opponent

guessing.

Overall a really awesome card with a lot of depth and skill based gameplay.

Last but not least we have Mass Resurrection, a ten mana priest legendary that lets you

fill your board up with seven of your strongest minions that have died that game.

This is a pretty cool ability, but ultimately this card is pretty similar to Nzoth or Onyxia

in that it's a really expensive card that floods the board and requires your opponent

to either have a board wipe or just lose.

It is nice that this works with any minions, unlike Nzoth, but you also need some good

minions to have died to make it useful, and also you can't play doomsayer with this

card or the board you resummon will just get blown back up.

Still though Mass Resurrection is definitely a really cool effect, and it would be cool

to seem some more really late game oriented cards in the next couple standard sets.

Those are some of the sweetest fan made legendary spells we could find, which ones were your

favorite?

Let us know in the comments!

And it looks like that's gonna be it from me, if you enjoyed the video drop a like,

subscribe if you want, thanks for watching, and I'll see you guys next time!

WEEKLY WRAP UP #87 [CC] - Duration: 13:39.

Hey guys, it's Kirsti. Welcome back to my

channel and welcome to another weekly

wrapup. This one is for the 23rd through

the 29th of April and this week I read a

total of nine books and 3,118 pages. The

first book that I finished this week is

a reread, and that is The Whispering

Skull by Jonathan Stroud, which is the

second book in the Lockwood and Co

series. I've talked about this series a

bit before - it is a young adult/

middle grade - like, it's young adult but

it's definitely at the lower end of

young adult - young adult paranormal series

in which ghosts are real and the only

people who can see them are kids and

teenagers. And so there are all these

agencies all over London that are

basically ghost hunters and there is

this one particular agency that is not

run by adults. Most of them are, but this

particular one is run by this teenage boy

named Anthony Lockwood and the series is

told from the perspective of his friend/

employee Lucy Cartwright and the

two of them along this boy, George, track

down ghosts and kill them and stuff. So

this one starts out with them getting a

job at a London cemetery and then things

start to go horribly wrong. I enjoyed

this more on reread, I think, than I did

the first time that I read it. I really

like Lucy as a character and she kind

of grows and develops quite a bit in

this one and there are definitely some

interesting things going on in the

background of this one where Lockwood is

concerned. So I just really like this

series. It's completely silly but it's a

lot of fun and on reread I bumped this

one up to 4 stars. The second book

that I finished this week was the

highlight of my reading week and that is

Longbourn by Jo Baker, which was

recommended to me - not specifically to me

but I picked it up because Olive from A

Book Olive was like "Oh my God, this

book is amazing." So, like, obviously I

picked it up. So this one is a retelling

of Pride and Prejudice from the

perspective of the servants. You guys

probably know by now that I am trash

for basically any Austen retelling ever,

so, like, I was pretty much gonna pick

this one up anyway, but Olive raving

about it just tipped me over the edge into

reading it, like, sooner rather than later.

And I loved the crap out of this book.

I've seen some criticisms of this story

saying that, like, it doesn't deal enough

with the Bennet sisters and with Mr.

Darcy and with the story that we know

and love. But realistically, that wasn't

the reality for the servants. They didn't

see a lot of the stuff that was going on.

They were too busy dealing with, like, all

the shit that happens

in the background. They were too busy

doing the cooking and the cleaning and

the preparation and the pressing dresses

and the doing hair and the washing and

the marching letters all over Meryton.

They were doing that kind of stuff and

they weren't really concerned with

whether or not Miss Lizzie was dating

some handsome dude or not. It's told

predominantly from the perspective of

the housemaid, Sarah, who was basically

adopted by Mrs. Hill at the age of six

to train her to be a servant. So she's

pretty much never known any other life.

And she's not particularly happy in this

life and she sees a future for herself

that involves more, but she doesn't

really know how to escape. It's also told

from the perspective of Mrs. Hill, who in

the original book is the housekeeper but

here her role has been expanded to

include the cooking, which was fairly

common in a lot of small households at

the time. And then it also has a chunk of

the story from the perspective of this

footman, who appears fairly mysteriously

on the scene, whose name is James. I had a

lot of feelings about Mrs. Hill's story.

I had a lot of feelings about James's story.

I really really liked Sarah as a

character. I loved seeing, like, little

bits of what we knew, because basically

what Jo Baker has done is she's taken

Pride and Prejudice and said "Okay,

any time a servant is on the page, that

interaction we will get in Longbourn, but

the rest of it I'm going to have to

create from scratch." So it was really

really interesting to see those moments

coming through in the story and then

having this whole other world going on

that we knew nothing about in the

original. I really loved the writing, I

liked the characters, I actually really

enjoyed the fact that it paints the

Bennets in a fairly harsh light and I

just absolutely loved this book and I

sped through it. I gave this book a

wholehearted 5 stars. Book number

three this week is one that my book club

has been nagging me to read for the

better part of a year now, and that is

Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. This

is the first book in the Farseer trilogy,

and I was a little bit nervous going

into this one because it is epic fantasy

and everybody in my book club *loves*

this book, and epic fantasy and I tend to

not get along particularly well a lot of

the time. So, like, basically I was real

scared that I was going to hate this and

they would kick me out of book club. So

basically this is the story of Fitz, who

is the bastard son of a prince of this

particular magical realm and when he's

about six, Fitz is adopted by the royal

household. Not by his father,

but kind of by his grandparents in a way.

So it's basically Fitz's story from the

time that he's six through until he's

like 15 or 16, I think? As a result of the

fact that he is this bastard son of a

prince, they don't quite know what to do

with him and so they end up that they

decide they're going to train him as an

assassin.

Unlike Celaena Sardothian, Fitz does

actually kill people, which made for a

very pleasant change where assassins in

books are concerned. I have to admit, I

did find the magic in this one a little

bit confusing and kind of dry, but for

the most part I really really enjoyed

this book. I found it very compelling in

the early stages of the book. Once the

magic stuff and the learning how to use

magic happened, I was a bit like "Ugh, I just

don't care, skim on." But I really really

enjoyed the early stages of this book. I

really liked the interactions that

happen between Fitz and the guy who's

effectively his father figure for a lot

of the book. I liked Fitz's

relationships with people in the town, I

love that Fitz has a really close

connection to, like, several dogs in

the course of this book but, yeah, warning

that the dogs die. So that's a thing

that happens. I enjoyed this book more

than I anticipated I would. I am

definitely going to continue with the

series, but as the books get

progressively longer, I think I'm going

to need like a gap between them. I don't

feel immediately compelled to pick up

the second book. So I enjoyed this one

more than I anticipated and I gave it

4 stars. The fourth book I finished

this week is another reread and that is

The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong, which

is the second book in The Darkest Powers

trilogy. So as I said in my wrap-up last

week, this is a young adult spin-off of

the Women of the Otherworld series and

basically a 15 year old girl named Chloe

Saunders discovers that she is a

necromancer and that she was part of

some big experiment to, like, manipulate

the powers of various supernatural races.

In some cases the experiments basically

ended up removing people's powers, in her

case it has dramatically increased her

powers. So in the first book, it's basically

her discovering what's going on in the

world and her and this group of kids from

this group home that she's put into that

turns out to have nothing but kids with

powers, it's them trying to escape. This

one picks up exactly where the first one

leaves off. I really like having to see

Chloe learn to use her powers and kind

of struggle with that because she

doesn't really have anybody to teach her

what she's doing, she just kind of has to

feel her way through it. So I liked all of

that side of stuff. I like the

relationship that starts to be hinted at

in this particular book, but there was a

lot of this one that kind of has middle

book syndrome.

Like, I still really enjoy it, but there's

definitely some middle book syndrome

associated with this one and it has a

cliffhanger ending which drove me

absolutely nuts because I was planning

on waiting a week or so before picking

up the third book but because of that

cliffhanger ending I had to reread it,

like, basically straight away. So I did

enjoy this one, but I don't think I

enjoyed it as much on this reread as I

have in the past. So yeah, I ended up

giving this one 4 stars. Book number

five this week is Refugee Boy by

Benjamin Zephaniah? Zephaniah?? One of those.

So this is a story of a fourteen year

old boy named Alem, who is Ethiopian

and Eritrean. His father, I believe, is

from Ethiopia and his mother is from

Eritrea. The two countries at the time

this was written were in some kind of

border war, and his family gets caught in

the middle of it. So his father says "I'm

going to take you to England on holiday"

and then when they get there, his father

basically leaves him there to claim asylum

seeker status, and he returns to Ethiopia.

So this book basically follows Alem

through the process of applying to be a

refugee and all the legal stuff that

goes along with it, as well as him

adjusting to life in the UK and trying

to discover what has happened to his

parents. I really wanted to love this

book because it sounds absolutely

fascinating and really compelling and it

does deal with some, like, really serious

issues. However, the writing just fell

really really flat for me. There is almost

no emotion in the writing whatsoever -

it's very kind of clinical and dry a lot

of the time, and...I don't know. There was

just something about the writing that

meant that the characters felt a little

bit like they were cardboard cutouts

being moved around and that they didn't

really have any particular depth to them.

So that really hindered my enjoyment of

this book because, yeah, I just wasn't

keen on the writing. I wanted to like the

characters but I really couldn't a lot

of the time and so yeah. I ended up giving

this one 3 stars. The sixth book that

I finished this week was one I read for

my Classics Club project, and that is The

Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. This was

written at the beginning of the

sixteenth century and it is effectively

a series of letters that Machiavelli

wrote about how to be a good ruler. A lot

of the chapters are incredibly short -

they're like one to two pages of, like,

you know, "here are some people who fucked

up at ruling a place, here are some

people who are

great examples of ruling a place". So it

was really interesting at times to see

how things written in, like, 1513 I think

it was first published? How things from

then still apply to people who are, like,

running countries today. You can say "Okay

yes, you should definitely not be doing

this thing and you should be doing

this thing" and it's still applicable

over 500 years later. But at the same

time, there was a lot of this that I just

kind of didn't really care about? Maybe

it's just the fact that it's, like,

nonfiction about politics and that's

totally not my jam? But there was a lot

in this book that I just didn't really

care about. So I wanted to really love

this because I know a lot of people have

given this book 5 stars. But for me it

was kind of meh and I ended up giving it

3 stars. Although I will include the

caveat that a certain Cheeto coloured

president should probably read this book

because, you know, he needs to. Book number

7 this week was another reread, and that

is The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord.

So this is a straight up YA

contemporary. A year prior to the

beginning of the book, this girl, Paige, her

boyfriend Aaron drowned and she's spent

most of the past year grieving his loss.

They had only been dating for two months

and yet she spent the past year grieving

for him and dealing with the

expectations and the looks that go along

with being, like, the girlfriend of the

dead guy. So now it's the start of a new

school year and she's determined that

she's going to kind of change her life

over the course of the next year and I

just really really like this book. It's

cute and fluffy and ridiculous and it

deals very very well with grief I feel

like and I just I just really like the

relationship in this book. It is super

adorable and super cute. I enjoy Paige as

a character, I love the writing - although

I totally don't buy the bonus chapter in

this one of, like, what happens over the

following summer, because it features

teenagers sending each other masses of

emails and, like, teenagers don't do that

shit.

I enjoyed it way more on reread I think

than I did the first time around. The

first time that I read it, the first

three quarters of the book, I was like "Eh,

this kind of a three-star book", whereas

this time around, I enjoyed it hell of a

lot more. So yeah. I shouldn't enjoy this

book as much as I do because a lot of it

is fairly simplistic but sometimes your

brain just needs cute fluff. So

I reread this and I gave it 4 stars.

The eighth book that I finished this

week is Pieces of Sky by Trinity Doyle.

This is an Australian

contemporary YA book about a girl

named Lucy whose older brother has just

drowned, and it's basically her dealing

with the aftermath of his death and in

particular trying to work out who this

mysterious girl was that her brother was

dating in the lead-up to his death. The

kids at school really really love this

one, which is why I picked it up. It's not

kind of the usual thing that I would

read. I mean, I love YA contemporaries

but this one I just sort of...nyeh,

not really my jam.

So I read this one because they love it

and...yeah, I kind of sort of didn't. I mean,

it wasn't terrible and I do think it is

an excellent representation of grief and

the different ways in which people

process that. But the romantic

relationship that crops up in the course

of the story just fell completely flat

for me, I didn't really give a shit about

it at all.

I thought it was fairly obvious who the

mysterious girl was going to be so, like,

that side of the story I didn't

especially care about a whole lot. I

think my biggest gripe with this one was

the ending and the fact that everything

is neatly tied up in a bow and that Lucy

kind of instantly gets over her grief

when she discovers who this mysterious

girl is and she, you know, learns to go

back in the water again. Like, it just...it

felt a little bit too neat and tidy for

me and it just felt a little bit at the

end like it's simplifying grief. So yeah, I...

I enjoyed how Australian it felt, but apart

from that I didn't love it and I gave it

3 stars. And the final book that I

finished this week is The Reckoning by

Kelley Armstrong, which is obviously the

third book in The Darkest Powers trilogy.

This is definitely my favourite of the

three. I really enjoy where the story

goes in this one, I really enjoy seeing

the powers of these particular kids

growing and developing over the course

of the book, I love that there is more

adult involvement in this one and that

they kind of have to escape from certain

situations, I like that there are a lot

more allusions to characters that we

know from the Women of the Otherworld

series, so I really enjoyed that side of

things and the romantic relationship

that cropped up in this one I enjoy a

lot. The last time I read this, I

gave it 5 stars and I was like "Oh my

God, this book is amazing!" That was 2012.

Five years later, I'm like "This is a

solid ending to a trilogy, but it's

definitely not a 5 star book." So yeah.

I don't think that my feelings about

this have changed *that* dramatically, it's

just that I'm a lot stingier with my

5 star ratings than I used to be

and I have read a lot more young adult

books than I had when I first read and

loved this series. So yeah. I love this

book a lot, but it's definitely not a

5 star book. So I gave this one 4

stars.

So there you have it, friends. That is all the books

that I finished this week. If you have

read any of these and have thoughts on

them, please let me know down in the

comments, I would love to talk about them

with you. Thank you guys so much for

watching, I love all your faces and I

will see you on Wednesday.

Bye guys.

Dwight Howard Upset About His Playing Time and Role in Atlanta - Duration: 1:13.

For Complex News, I'm Hanuman Welch

Dwight Howard grumbling about the team he's playing on has quickly become a fixture of

the NBA offseason.

Following messy breakups with the Magic, Lakers, and Rockets, and he appears to be on the same

track with the Atlanta Hawks.

Speaking to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Howard expressed his displeasure

It was very difficult.

I want to play.

I want to be out on the floor.

I want to make a difference.

I want to make an impact, and I can't do that on the bench.

It hurts.

I'm sure if you wrote the best stories in the world and nobody read your stories and

they told you to stop writing and you saw somebody else's story that wasn't as good

as yours, I'm pretty sure you'd be pissed, too.

That's how it is in basketball.

Howard's role on the Hawks fluctuated wildly from game to game in the playoffs, but taking

his gripes about his in-game minutes to one of the biggest newspapers in the southeast

is sure to make both his teammates and management feel some type of way.

Howard has been playing the "It's not me, it's you" game for the better part of five

seasons now.

When he still had the top-end athleticism that made him a Defensive Player of the Year,

teams were happy to tolerate it.

But he might wear out his welcome in his hometown rather quickly if he continues down this path
