"Help Wanted" was viewed in over 2 million households, receiving positive reviews from critics. "Help Wanted" was excluded from the DVD release of the series' first season because Nickelodeon was unwilling to pay Tiny Tim's estate for using "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight", although it had since been released on other various DVDs of the series. "Help Wanted" also re-popularized the Tiny Tim cover " Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight". The animation was directed by the show's supervising director, Alan Smart. The episode was written by Hillenburg (who also functioned as storyboard director), storyboard artist Derek Drymon (who also functioned as the credited storyboard artist) and Tim Hill. The original idea would be used for the later episode " Pizza Delivery". Hillenburg gave up the idea and started anew with the story he and Derek Drymon came up for "Help Wanted", based on an experience Hillenburg had in the Boy Scouts. For the series pitch, Hillenburg originally wanted the idea of having SpongeBob and Squidward on a road trip, inspired by the 1989 film Powwow Highway. To voice the character of SpongeBob, Hillenburg approached Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on Rocko's Modern Life. Series creator Stephen Hillenburg initially conceived the show in 1994, and began to work on it shortly after the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life in 1996. The episode follows the series' eponymous protagonist, an anthropomorphic young sea sponge, attempting to get a job at a local fast food restaurant called the Krusty Krab. It first aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 1, 1999, following the television broadcast of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards. All in all, I do really like this show, for the sense of fun and creativity it has, but I just wish the newer episodes weren't as tired." Help Wanted" is the pilot episode of the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. The animation and the theme tune are pretty much the only things that make the newer episodes remotely watchable. The episode ideas aren't as original or as well thought out, in fact they are rather predictable and unrealistic. And Spongebob, the voice is way too high. ![]() They aren't as funny or as creative in terms of written quality as the older episodes,relying too much on toilet humour, and the voice acting sometimes is lazy, Patrick in particular now seems bored and world weary now. So why did I not give it a higher score? Like "Rugrats" and "The Simpsons" the newer episodes don't work. The writing was witty, funny and even intelligent, and the characters were endearing, from Spongebob himself, cynical Squidward, Eugene H. ![]() The theme tune, what can I say? Probably the catchiest theme tune out of the shows airing on Nicolodean now. ![]() It was vibrantly animated, with lavish colouring and convincing character features. I loved the fact it was funny, creative and original. I absolutely loved it, and thought it was the best animated show on Nickelodean. When "Spongebob Squarepants" first started, I was one of those who watched it religiously. ![]()

This tutorial was created in the following environment Also, while bullet hell come in various shapes and sizes, we will focus on rotating-type bullet hell. In this tutorial, we will focus only on creating a bullet hell. Many games are based on the motif of spaceships and fighter planes that fit the image (in this tutorial, a ground battle between a wizard and a monster though). ![]() ![]() Some games specialize in simply dodging the bullets. A “bullet hell shooter” is a game in which the player shoots at and defeats enemy characters while dodging and weaving through the gaps between the bullets. The bullet hell is a large number of bullets (or similar long-range attacks) like a curtain. In this time, we will create a bullet hell aka barrage for a barrage shooting game. ![]() ![]() There are also daily challenges for bragging rights and cash, though these are a small part of the overall experience of the game.īloons TD 5 brings a lot to the table for tower defense fans and for fans of the series. With it you can buy one-use units called special agents, a building at the main screen that will upgrade a tower of your choice, or one time boosts used during gameplay. On top of everything else, the game has a few things to keep you coming back. Sometimes it's the little things that count, and these little things go a long way to tying the whole package together. Each monkey is drawn well and is absolutely adorable, only adding to the charm of the game. To further this, every tower has a drawn image (seen on the bottom left of the screen during gameplay). Every tower and upgrade has its own distinct look (even tiny upgrades look a little different). The overall graphics are colorful, sharp, and distinctively high quality considering it is a 2D tower defense. I keep rambling about the towers and ignoring the look of the game, which I shouldn't do because it really does look good. Every map requires a different strategy, which encourages you to shift from your favorite towers (mine being the Spike Factory and Monkey Apprentice) and try out new combinations and layouts. There are 18 maps to choose from, three difficulty levels, and three optional modes for each of them. Past the vast tower selection lies the array of maps. With its 17 base towers and 34 upgrade types (not to mention the smaller upgrades to reach those enhanced tower variations), there is a lot to look forward to while playing Bloons 5. ![]() The diversity is what really makes this title stand out from most of the other tower defense games you find online. The first damages any and all enemies that pass by, and the second gives double attack speed and an active ability to make it attack at hyper speeds for 10 seconds. For example, the Boomerang Thrower can upgrade into either a Glaive Lord or a Bionic Boomer. Each type of tower has two distinct upgrade trees, both of which being distinctly different from the other. Upgrading towers doesn't sound that exciting, but the real draw to tower defense games is obtaining new towers and upgrades and seeing what they do, and how they can aid your defenses.īloons 5 excels at making you want to see what new upgrades do, and the game's 17 base tower types give you plenty to look forward to. The towers are the real draw to this game, and unlocking and using new upgrades is the most exciting aspect of the game. Imagine a TD with a hefty amount of towers and multiple times the upgrades. This new challenge makes the game fun to play every day, we will be very happy to see you at our fansite, where you can completely enjoy this incredible game for free.Why it's Awesome (settle in, this is a long one) You receive new challenge each and every day. Updates come all the time, and your progress is tracked for upgrades, achievements, and ranks. You should use the earned money in buying significant upgrades found between the waves to make the game more fulfilling and joyous.īloons Tower Defense 5 delivers moments of fun and challenging and strategic play to all fans as well as new players. At first, you purchase and place various agents and monkeys along the path so as to pop as many inflated balloons as possible to earn money. You must help the ape to destroy masses of balloons and also save the territory. Each and every time you complete a level, you are given 99 cash, and the number of the level survives the attack. A tool known as Red Bloon Equivalent shows the number of pops that are required to remove the current level. The levels get handers as the gamer progresses. ![]() ![]() The difficulty may be:īloons Tower Defense 5 is full of new levels also known as stages, waves or rounds.

Note that Bloons Tower Defense 5 special missions may include: Other features and specifications of this game include special agent towers, random missions, special assignments, daily rewards, and new tracks which have moving tunnels and parts as well as new bloon types. The tower upgrades have excellent super activated abilities. The Bloons Tower Defense 5 has heaps of new characteristics and features which includes all the favorite towers from Bloons TD 4 with 8 fantastic upgrades instead of 4. ![]() ![]() ![]() They poison you from within, as do feelings such as shame and self-loathing. Thoughts like “I’m good for nothing” and “I can’t do anything right” are venom in the psyche. “Venomous” can describe thought processes and the way you talk to yourself. “Venomous” and “poisonous” are used to describe situations that slowly kill you, that are chronically stressful or hurtful and bring out the worst in people. A negative ideology, belief, feeling or thought that works into your system is venomous. Situations and thought processes can be venomous, too. The symbolism of a snake as something venomous doesn’t end with how it can describe certain people. Or you are overcoming fear or learning your true personal power. For example, chemotherapy is a sort of venom or poison used to treat cancer. A dream could even turn this idea on its ear by showing you wanting the venom of the snake because you know subconsciously it could be helpful. If the snake is not venomous, does not bite and inject venom, or does not provoke fear, it’s probably not related to the symbolism of venom. ![]() It will bite, or you will fear it biting you or someone with you in the dream - danger and fear personified in the form of a snake. That use of the symbolism will stand out in the dream-story. Everyday comparisons between people and venomous snakes are common, so it’s an easy connection to make. Just being around such a person is hazardous to your health! Their influence is like venom. Someone who is mean as a snake is a bad influence. The influence could be from a person, but consider also everything that you could take into yourself in the figurative sense. Venomous can mean “bad influence.” It works into you and influences you in a bad way. That idea can be stretched to speak to a way that something poisons your thoughts and feelings or harms body, your heart, your spirit. Let’s begin with a common use of snake symbolism. I’ll show you how.Ī dream’s actions speak volumes about the symbolism. Instead, dig into the story and analyze the dream. The snake is an enigmatic dream symbol that can’t be interpreted using pat definitions. This is how you figure out the meaning of a snake in a dream, the same general process that you use with any dream symbol. Is the snake dangerous, or just chillin’? Do you run in terror at the sight of it, stare in fascination, or even play with it? What role does the snake have in the dream-story, and what actions, if any, does it take? Where is the snake encountered and who, if anyone, is with you? What does it all symbolize, and how does it fit together as a story about you? Of course, a lot depends on what type of snake, right? How a snake is presented in your dream and how you react to it tells you what it symbolizes. The process of making associations can be as simple as whatever comes to mind first associated with a snake. ![]() These associations form the basis of dream symbolism. To another person, snakes are symbols of temptation and evil. But snakes are also commonly associated with good health, virility, transformation, and the presence or blessing of God. Just the thought of a snake makes their skin crawl. To one person, snakes are feared and loathed. The interpretation of dreams about snakes depends primarily on the associations of the dreamer and how snakes are used in the dream-story. ![]() ![]() The two-card discard is also a benefit for many decks, with some decks playing heavily out of the discard pile (think Mad Party) and others relying on aggressively thinning unneeded cards to improve their draws throughout the game. For anyone unfamiliar with Ultra Ball, it is simply the most consistent “ball search” card in the game’s history, letting you search for any Pokemon in your deck with no other qualifications. Second, this set reprints Ultra Ball, one of the best and most ubiquitous Trainer cards in the game’s history, but one that has been absent from Standard since before Worlds 2019. Returning to a format centered around two-Prize Pokemon, as we had for many years before Tag Teams, will hopefully increase the length of games, increasing the number of decisions players need to make and ultimately increasing the skill cap of competitive play. This is potentially huge for the game, as one of the biggest complaints from competitive players (myself included) in the past two years has been the existence of three-Prize Pokemon (Tag Teams and VMAXes). These evolve from Basic Pokemon V similarly to VMAXes, but the key difference is that they give up only two Prizes instead of three, with the trade-off of a bit lower HP. I think this is for two key reasons.įirst, the set introduces the VSTAR mechanic. I’ve heard many players saying they believe Brilliant Stars (BRS) to be one of the more impactful sets in recent years. There’s lots to break down, so I’ll just jump right in. The set is now a few days post-release and we’re already starting to see tournament results trickle in from both Limitless and physical tournaments, such as a big one at Full Grip Games that I’ll cover in this article. Hello again everyone! In my last article, I promised my next article would be an overview of some of the key cards and decks coming out of our new February set this year, Brilliant Stars. ![]() ![]() If you push outwards too fast you won't be able to protect yourself, and will also fall victim to the enemy within.Įach faction has to worry about public order–even Vampire Counts have peasants living at the foot of their castles, paying the Blood Tax and locking their doors at night. Because of the way Total War: Warhammer's economy works you can only afford a single powerful army at the start (unless you play Greenskins, with their free Waaagh! armies and cheap upkeep), and can only realistically be at war on a single front until mid-game. That's a long-term goal and if you chase it right away you'll set yourself up for all kinds of problems. ![]() The enigmatic advisor gives you a mission after you've defeated your first few settlements to take 12 more. Banners should be assigned to specific units on the pre-battle screen, and if you know you're about to get into a big scrap next turn, now is the time to make sure heroes have the right magic items and followers–it takes one turn to reassign them if a hero who is in the wrong place happens to have your protective Dawnstone. The Vampire Counts' cheap Fell Bats are particularly annoying for this but all it takes is one unit of infantry at the rear to drive them off.Įven before deployment there's prep to do. Thanks to flying enemies it's worth leaving one unit at the back near your artillery to protect them from being tangled up in melee when they should be causing as much damage as possible. Vanguard units can be placed in no man's land between deployment zones, and if they also have the Hide ability like Dwarf Miners or Forest Goblin Spider Riders, they can be camouflaged in forests to burst out and flank units as they pass. Generals should be placed centrally so their Leadership bonus can affect as many soldiers as possible and put into combat ASAP. You want infantry units near ranged units to protect them from charges, and cavalry on the flanks to race forward and lap around the edges. If you sign a treaty you'll have to awkwardly expand around them and they'll probably betray you later on anyway, so obliterate them while you can.ĭeployment is important, as Total War: Warhammer does a pretty good job explaining. Several turns later when you have the tutorial enemy on the ropes they'll probably sue for peace, even offering money. Your troops automatically replenish within those borders and you'll be ready to either retreat into a settlement or attack again soon. If you can't catch your enemy (they'll be inside the yellow circle around your general if within range), switch to the marching stance and run back across your border. ![]() I lost Azhag The Slaughterer by turn two thanks to this, which is just embarrassing. If you don't they'll either fortify a settlement or regroup alongside that opponent's other army, which is usually nearby, and attack you. If you have enough movement left to pursue and attack again, absolutely do that. Your first battle against them will be simple, but then the survivors flee. The coming conflict will engulf all.Each faction begins at war with one neighbour: Vampire Counts have Templehof the Empire have Empire Secessionists Greenskins have Red Fang and for Dwarfs it's Bloody Spearz. And there is one who schemes to achieve just that, an ancient figure who desires nothing less than to wield supreme power. A single push will plunge it into cataclysm. But each is beset by its own trials, and now both have cause to cross the threshold and send their armies into the Realm of Chaos. On the border between the worlds, two mighty kingdoms stand sentinel: the stern warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay. Nurgle, the plague god Slaanesh, the lord of excess Tzeentch, the changer of ways and Khorne, the god of blood and slaughter. The four Ruinous Powers rule over this place, ever seeking to slip their bonds and engulf the world in a tide of daemonic corruption. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind, whispering promises of power. ![]() Far beyond this world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The realm of Chaos. ![]() ![]() ![]() The clean, non-linear video editing interface.That’s an incredible all-in-one app that you may conveniently use across all your devices, so shooting, editing, and sharing your work are no challenges to worry about.

![]() ![]() It was probably 700 people, but still felt like a 200-person startup they had an awesome product that was clearly resonating with customers, and the organization was in a race to catch up with that revenue. Confluent appeared on my radar right at that moment, and it seemed perfect. After a few months, I realized that wasn’t for me-I missed thinking about how to grow every day. ![]() It was wonderful for that company, but of course it also naturally meant my job shifted to focus more on efficiency and alignment rather than building and accelerating. I’d been working for another tech company in a similar role, building out its SD team in Europe, and the company ended up being acquired rather than doing an IPO. I joined as Director of Sales Development (SD) for EMEA three years ago, when I still lived in London. Tell us what brought you to the team, and what your path’s been since. ![]() But at Confluent, the rest of the business really understands how growth and upward mobility can help bring in the best people and continue to motivate them once they’re here. They think of it as just a pipeline tool. I think we’re really lucky here, because a lot of companies sort of put their SDR organization in a box. It also means empowering our front-line managers to put a lot of their energy into coaching, having those hands-on, day-to-day conversations. Especially in the first few months-that’s such a pivotal period in setting someone up for success. In part, that means constantly improving our processes for onboarding, training, and everything else we need to do to help new SDRs conquer learning curves. You get 99 “no’s” for every “yes.” So what really drives our team members is the opportunity to grow, and it’s critical that we create paths for them to move up, whether into the rest of the Sales organization or another part of the business, including into leadership roles. An SDR role can be one of the hardest jobs in Sales. But the way I see it, we meet those goals by doing the other part of our job well, which is hiring and developing talent. As in any company, our sales development reps, or SDRs, are tasked with generating pipeline. I lead part of our Sales Development organization-specifically the Inbound team the Commercial team, which handles outbound sales and our new Cloud team. Below, Willie explains why he believes developing people, not just pipeline, is the key to the success of a sales development team, and shares what he does to create new opportunities for Confluent’s sales development representatives-within Sales and beyond. When Willie Osborn joined Confluent three years ago, it was to spend his days thinking about growth-but not just in terms of revenue. ![]() ![]() When I first begain making jewelry, I never thought I would be able to do some of the things I can do now! It feels incredibly empowering to have an idea for a piece, sketch a design, and actually fabricate that idea out of raw metals and stone into a finished piece of jewelry. I love everything about my craft-the design process, choosing the materials for a piece, the fabrication process, putting the finishing touches on it, and even the packaging, but the best part is seeing or hearing from the recipient that they love their new piece of jewelry and that wearing it brings them as much joy as it did to me when I was creating it. I had opened up a creative side of me that I never knew I had, and the ideas for new pieces started flowing. ![]() My first pieces weren’t great, but I was already hooked on the feeling that making them evoked and on the excitement of trying and learning new techniques. ![]() So, after a particularly hard day at work, I made a stop at a local art/craft supply store and bought my first coil of copper wire, some beads, and a few tools to make my first wire wrapped ring from a tutorial I had found online. Each day working at the prison, I felt like a small piece of me was dying inside, and it came to a point where I just had to do something to revive my spirit. Making jewelry was something that I always wanted to try, but never had the courage to actually do it until late 2013. I never thought of myself as artistic or crafty, but have always had a love for the arts, fashion, and creating something out of nothing. I found my passion a little late in life when I felt a strong need for a creative outlet to deal with the stress of feeling trapped in a thankless job at a state prison. I didn’t always know I wanted to be a jewelry artist. I am completely self taught and work out of my home studio set up in York County, PA. ![]() I’m Lori, the one woman show behind LoMo Studio’s jewelry. ![]() |
