The weapon balancing of Mass Effect Andromeda is a little off if you compare it to real

life, but I feel if it was made more realistic, it would be as fun,

a big example of this is Sniper Rifles,

in real life a sniper rifle is a big beefy gun that takes some serious skill to use,

they are super powerful and would beat any shotgun, pistol or assault rifle when it comes

to damage.

It requires 2 people to be done effectively, you have a spotter and a shooter,

Now the second person isn't required but when you are looking through a scope with that

level of zoom it's difficult without it.

and yes I know there's many different levels of Sniper Rifle, I'm just using this extreme

as an example to the in-game extreme.

So, super powerful, hard to use, requires crazy amounts of calibration and knowledge

of the current wind state as well as bullet drop.

If you compare that to in mass effect, you have the benefits of a sniper rifle being

super far away from the danger, the enemy can't shoot you all that well, but you don't

have to take bullet drop into account for the most part, no wind correction, zoom isn't

even bad at all for finding your targets,

To balance this, you have less power, less damage.

If you shoot to the other side of the spectrum, there's Shotguns, super powerful and very

low range,

The main constant here is the more danger you are in, the more damage you have.

I'm talking damage per second here, not per shot as when you're taking fire, damage per

second counts the most as there will be more than one target and time is the primary factor.

Now if you move to Pistols, they are also mostly close range, but lower damage than

shotguns... mostly,

The trade off here is lightweight, they don't hinder as much, this gives you a lower DPS

at close to medium range but low weight,

Then finally, Assault Rifles, which are balanced like pistols but have a higher weight with

increased range... mostly.

I say mostly as each weapon type has its outliers,

For Pistols, we have the Hornet armed with the Automatic Fire System,

This gun is frankly insane,

it is the king of enemies without shields or armour and does ok on them in a pinch,

Crazy light, big clip, but has no modifiers, so, red bars it rules, but no to the rest.

Then there's the Ushior, the highest per shot Pistol, it's DPS isn't terrible and it has

no modifiers, but for popping up from cover to take a shot, it's pretty good, pair it

with the Plasma Charge System and it's per shot skyrockets,

I have no numbers for this specific weapon when it comes to plasma charge, but based

on modifiers from other charge weapons, it is likely a 2-second charge with a 200% damage

increase.

It's reasonable to assume this, but not definite.

For assault rifles the king is the Valkyrie with the Automatic Fire System, this, when

compared to the Hornet, is actually a little worse.

The damage is lower, and yes I'm taking the extra augment slot, mods skill everything

into account.

The Accuracy is high but at the level they are from mid to end game, it's not a problem,

the Hornet has a very slighter high clip to rate of fire ratio meaning with a bio you

take slightly less damage, the Hornet weight is lower, sure is like 1 lower but that's

20% lower at rank 8, they both have no modifiers for shields and armour, both have 25% weak

point damage, and the Hornet has superior stability.

The only big factor that isn't really all that big that the Valkyrie has over the hornet

is the Force, the Valkyrie has 7.5 times the amount of force is my example setup,

but as this isn't enough to stagger, it isn't really worth considering.

It comes down to both preference and what skills you have invested if you don't have

both.

When it comes to shields and AR's, the vanilla Thokin and Automatic Fire System Sweeper rule

by a good margin due to their 115% damage against shield modifiers.

For Shotguns it's all about the Dhan, Hesh and Piranha, the Dhan is king of Shields,

the Piranha is king of Armour and the Hesh is queen of both,

about it really.

For weirdness, you have the Reegar carbine which is kinda crappy except on shields where

it's almost as good as the thokin.

So it's an option for those who want an Assault Rifle but have their points in shotguns.

The scattershot does terrible damage, it's DPS doesn't fluctuate much at all with a burst

or automatic system added, but it has both shield and armour modifiers,

it also pairs well with the plasma charge system and makes for a very fun AOE scatter

cannon,

With the assumed 2 second charge for 200% of the plasma charge, this could whack out

almost 80% of the damage of the piranha, Hesh and Dhan against both shields and armour on

large groups,

not for single target, just for AOE fun.

For Snipers, we'll just go simple,

Automatically makes the incisor better, other than that fire system augments are crap on

snipers,

For red bars with no bio-converter, shadow wins, with bio-converter the Isharay edges

above, but you'll die super fast.

Awesomely, the Shadow has a shield modifier, this may be to make up for no 70% weak point

damage, but either way, against shields the shadow does more than double most other snipers

but the Inferno is right behind it.

No snipers are any better at armoured targets

So, in general, I think there is balance with some anomalies that make these spreadsheets

fun to make,

If you disagree with me anywhere, I'm happy to discuss in the comments.

Bit of a more relaxed vid this time casually covering best weapons and weapon balance,

Unsure how this will play out so let me know what you think,

However casual this may have been, all of the info discussed is correct and accurate

to the best of my knowledge.

Skateboarding Thesis Review? YouTube Skaters Better than Pros? #AskRadRat 67 - Duration: 7:32.

This time on Ask Rad Rad, I review someone's thesis, and we also talk

about what makes a skater good. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to Rad Rat Video, where three times a week: every Monday,

Wednesday, and Friday, we're learning something new about skateboarding. So it

could be trick histories, game reviews, learning new tricks on the Shred School,

catching up with old pros on Retro Rippers, and answering your questions on

this series Ask Rad Rat. I've got two pretty beefy questions for you today, the

first of which is from Von Spencer. Now Von actually wrote a thesis for his

University about skateboarding.. well, let me just get into my notes here. So he

talks about how skateboarding was about taking obstacles from the public, and

reappropriating them into skateboard obstacles. So in other words, taking a

wheelchair ramp, which is designed for a wheelchair to get up to a door, and

making it into a ramp where you ollie over the rail, or something like that. And

as skateboarding sort of took these things and made them their own, that the

graphics and the brands were doing the same thing. They would take art and just,

you know, change it around a little bit. Make a parody of it, make like a -- take

some art and put like a demonic pentagram on it or something, and just

like be more offensive. But also kind of take stuff, and so this question is about

how that has kind of cooled off. It seems like things are less offensive and less

in-your-face, and he wonders how skateboarding and graphics will continue

to parallel each other in the future. So, really big question. I didn't read his

entire thesis, but we talked about it a bit, and I thought that was a pretty

interesting idea: just that, you know, skateboarding is conquering the public.

Conquering street obstacles. And so we're just going to take stuff, and make it our

own, from the graphics and everything. But I think there's a pretty big issue with

that idea. I've read a lot about how they made graphic back then, and some of it

maybe it was supposed to be, you know, whatever, offensive

and all that, but some of it was just really lazy. So they talked about -- there

was an interview, it came up in one of the research topics I did. I don't

remember who, but they were talking about how with this brand, they would go to the

library, they would get, like, you know, like a coffee table picture book, you

know, like a photography book, and they would just take a picture out of it.

They would make copies of it and just print it on a board, you know, it'd be

blown up and it would look all crappy and everything, and it wasn't -- there was

no point to it. It's just that the company was run by a 19 year old who

just started it last week, and they just want to get something on a board. Plus,

what people were doing back then is they would peel off the graphics and

they would paint solid colors on it, and they would skate them like that. So I just

don't think graphics were that important at the time. Also you had a lot of really

crappy, like, Photoshop first came out. I don't remember what

year, like 92 or something like that, and so you would see stuff where it would just be

like a picture of someone's face, but it had to fit a certain spot ,so they would

just stretch it, you know. You see all that kind of just really terrible

looking stuff. So in part, I could see what you're talking about, but I think as

time went on, these brands are still owned by the same people, and they've

just gotten older and they've matured. You know, graphic design and everything:

it's gotten better. Skateboarding, like these brands in

particular, have gotten more prestige, so they could attract actual talent and

not just someone who's going to, you know, make something in five minutes. A

lot of those graphics look like something your grandma would have made

in Word with Wordart or something. So I think a lot of it is more maturity in

general, and not just about, you know, the culture of skateboarding. Because that

hasn't really changed. People are still going out and conquering stuff. They're

still trying to do the next biggest gap no one's ever done before, they're still

trying to figure out how to skate this thing better, all that kind of stuff. I

don't think that culture has really changed. I just think there's a little

less youthful anger in skateboarding these days. So let me

know what you think about this below. It's a really big topic. I don't know if

I can really cover it all that well in this format, but that's what I had for

that. Next question is from Flip Lange: what makes a skater good? And he talks

about how there's those really technical YouTube skaters who will spend a whole

week trying to land some crazy late whatever, and then you have someone like

Cole Wilson, where he does a lot of really simple grinds and he gets more

attention from that. So he agrees with that being the way it should be, by the

way, but the question is: how does that work out? I remember back when I was

younger, I first started skating, all that mattered to me was how good a trick was

on paper. So if you did a 50-50 down a 15 stair handrail, and this guy did a triple

kickflip on flat doing one mile an hour, I would think the triple flip was better

because: triple flip? 50-50? Like, come on, obviously the triple flip is more

difficult. And that's how I always used to think, and I think a lot of people

still have that kind of mindset, so you think of those people on YouTube, they're

out there just trying to do the craziest trick, spending a week on it, filming it

constantly and then they cut out the one two second clip where they do it. That's

kind of like the guys, I think likeDude Perfect or something, where they're doing

all the trick basketball shots. Stand on top of a building and throw the ball all

the way down there, and you know, after 200 tries, they happen to make the basket.

Like it's it's cool, and I like watching that I like watching the basketball, I

like watching the skateboarding stuff we're talking about, but it's just not

really at that level. And compare those guys to LeBron James: who is a better

basketball player? Obviously, it's a guy who actually has, you know, more rounded

skill set and all that stuff. In particular with Cole Wilson, if you watch

this part: yeah, the tricks are generally pretty

basic, but the places that he's doing them - the weird kink rails and all that kind of

stuff, that stuff really takes a lot of skill.

You can't just skate that handrail all day, put in a thousand tries, and land it.

You'll probably die if you just throw yourself on a rail, and you don't know

how to do it. So it's more about the actual skill that you've built up, and I

think that makes a lot more sense. Like the Harlem Globetrotters versus an

actual basketball team. It's just not really the same, and the skill that it

takes to do that kind of stuff is a lot more

impressive from, like, a legitimate standpoint rather than just fluking into

something, because -- I recently taught how to do a semi flip, check that out

right here, and I feel like if I had some kind of, like, a really mellow fun box, I

might be able to do a 360 double semi flip, or a 540 triple semi

flip, or something like that, you know, it would just take me a whole week, I'd land

it sketchy, and it really doesn't show skill, it just shows how much

patience I have. You know, how much time I'm willing to sink into something. I

think that was one of the big differences is. So let me know what you

think about that below, also let me know all of your questions for next time. I

have a link to my Instagram and my Twitter below in the description. Send me

a DM on one of those to get your question in, and I will try to record it

next time, so thank you for watching, here's some more videos to check out and

don't forget to subscribe, so you can learn something new about skateboarding

three times a week. Thanks for watching.

The Real Reason We Haven't Heard From Michael C Hall Recently - Duration: 4:55.

Over the course of a decade and change, Michael C. Hall starred on two of the most critically

acclaimed television series in recent memory, both of them about death.

He played David Fisher on HBO's family-run funeral home drama Six Feet Under, and then

vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan on Showtime's Dexter.

Between the two shows, Hall amassed six Emmy and five Golden Globe nominations—and one

Golden Globe win—for his performances.

"Yea, well the tricky thing, the tricky thing about Dexter is that I look so much like him."

But with the end of Dexter in 2013, Hall has been largely absent from TV.

Here's a look at what he's up to in the past few years.

Curtain call

Hall is an experienced theatrical actor.

After completing the Graduate Acting program at New York University's prestigious Tisch

School of the Arts, Hall landed the plum role of the Emcee in director Sam Mendes' 1999

revival of Cabaret on Broadway.

While on a hiatus from Six Feet Under in 2002, he portrayed shady lawyer Billy Flynn in the

long-running revival of the musical Chicago.

When Dexter concluded in 2013, Hall again had the time to return to the stage.

One of his most notable roles was in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a glam-rock musical about

an East German transgender wannabe rock star.

Hall was the third actor to play the title role on Broadway, following Neil Patrick Harris

and Andrew Rannells.

Channeling Bowie

Hall's next major theatrical role was Thomas Newton in Lazarus, a musical co-created by

David Bowie just before his death in 2016.

Built around previously existing Bowie songs as well as ones that had yet to be released,

Lazarus was presented by the New York Theatre Workshop from late 2015 to early 2016.

Hall reprised his role when the sold-out show moved to London.

When Bowie died unexpectedly just before the Lazarus cast recorded the show's album, Hall

said that he felt an "internal fist clench."

But the cast decided to continue the work in his honor.

"We were glad we were able to get together and celebrate his life by recording the album."

Voice work

Outside of stage and screen, Dexter has used his vocal talents to do some voice work here

and there.

Hall has had a recurring role on the light-hearted Disney XD sci-fi/fantasy series Star vs. the

Forces of Evil.

In what's probably Hall's most comic role to date, he voiced an evil reptile man named

Toffee.

"Eat something.

It could be your last meal."

A little closer to his wheelhouse of dark, brooding, men: Hall played Batman in Justice

League: Gods and Monsters...with some lines that'll probably bring on deja vu for Dexter

fans.

"He bled to death"

"Yes, except they can't find the blood."

Indie movies

Since the end of Dexter, Hall has popped up in a handful of low-profile but critically-acclaimed

independent films.

He starred in Cold in July, taking the role of a man who kills a burglar, and then must

deal with the man's father, who's out for revenge.

Hall followed up that screen role with yet another project revolving around death: Christine,

about a deeply unstable Florida news anchor.

Michael C. Hall played George, a potential love interest and fellow news anchor.

Married life

In February 2016, Hall took some time to catch up on his personal life.

At New York City Hall, he and Morgan Macgregor, his partner of four years, tied the knot,

which marked Hall's third trip down the aisle.

In the early 2000s, he married his Chicago co-star, actress Amy Spanger, and later got

hitched to Jennifer Carpenter, who played his sister, Deb, on Dexter.

Radiohead: Obsessed

"You're free until you've had enough And you don't understand No ripcord."

In 2016, Hall and fellow Hedwig and the Angry Inch star Lena Hall teamed up to perform at

a Radiohead tribute concert called "Radiohead: Obsessed."

The band they formed was a one-time only thing, turning out a performance at New York's Café

Carlyle.

The songs they played included "Ripchord" from Radiohead's 1993 debut LP Pablo Honey,

as well as a mash-up of songs from Radiohead's 1995 follow-up The Bends.

Upcoming projects

Hall will be back on screens, big and small, very soon.

Over the last couple of years, he's filmed appearances in three high-profile projects.

Hall has joined the second-season cast of Netflix's Queen Elizabeth II drama The Crown,

portraying President John F. Kennedy.

Another project, The Silent Man, is a thriller about the Watergate scandal starring Liam

Neeson as Mark Felt, the high-ranking FBI official who leaked details of the scandal

to the Washington Post under the name "Deep Throat."

In that film, Hall has a major role as John Dean, the lawyer who served as White House

Counsel during the sinking Nixon administration.

And finally, he's slated to appear in The Gettysburg Address, a documentary about President

Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech.

Sounds like there's life after Dexter after all!

"I have nothing to hide.

Except for the syringes, scalpels, and bone saw hidden in that secret drawer underneath."
