If you were hoping this would be the game in which Kentucky would conquer its demons, well, I’m sorry. All of Kentucky’s worst traits came back to haunt them this afternoon, and as a result, they lost to Auburn 7. Yes, the same Auburn that had lost four of its last five games and was ranked 1.

Kentucky Basketball Game Replays. 147 thoughts on “ Kentucky Basketball 2014-2015 Full Game Replays ”. Another big game tonight–I cannot wait. . the second time since the 1978 NCAA Championship, Kentucky defeated Duke in a college basketball game. Kentucky Sports Radio University of Kentucky. SEC. Before we break out the mind erasing GIF from “Men in Black,” let’s break down what went wrong.“If your team doesn’t have post presence, you’re a fraud.”Calipari said that last week when discussing his team’s issues in the paint, and it rang painfully true today. Why did Kentucky lose? Look at these stats: Marcus Lee: 3 points, 4 rebounds, 3 fouls. Alex Poythress: 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 fouls. Skal Labissiere: 4 points, 2 rebounds, 3 fouls (including one technical)To be fair, Alex got poked in the eye near the start of the second half and had to go back to the locker room for a while, but when your three big men combine for only 1. At halftime, Jay Williams nailed it when he said, at times, it looks like Kentucky’s playing 3 vs. After the game, Bruce Pearl had the understatement of the season when he said the Cats “don’t have, right now against some defenses, a go- to post presence.”That’s putting it nicely, Bruce. Derek Willis stepped up. Shoutout to Bullitt County’s finest for one of the finest performances of his career. With the rest of the bigs missing in action, Derek stepped up, scoring 1. Willis’ most important contributions weren’t even reflected on the box score. He fought, scrapped, and dove for balls, injecting his team with some much- needed energy and toughness. According to John Calipari, that was enough to move him up the rotation. “I was so happy for him,” Calipari said of Willis. If you ask me, he moved ahead of all the other bigs.”This play will show you why: Why isn’t everyone else doing that?? Kentucky blew a 1. There are a lot of depressing stats from tonight’s game, but the worst may be that Kentucky blew a 1. Ouch.“When we got up 1. I said make them drive and just don’t let them shoot threes,” Calipari said. We gave up four threes within a few minutes.” It may only be January, but at times, this team looks like it has absolutely no idea what its doing. Kareem Canty had the game of his life. Credit where credit is due: Auburn’s Kareem Canty balled out tonight. As players often do against Kentucky, Canty caught on fire, scoring a game- high 2. Towards the end of the game, he rolled his ankle after stepping on Tyler Ulis’ foot, but stayed in to hit some big free throws to seal the upset. That being said, Kentucky beat itself tonight. Tyler Ulis tried his hardest to win it at the end. Before the game, Dan Dakich trolled Big Blue Nation when he tweeted “There isn’t a Kentucky fan alive that truly believes Tyler Ulis is a Top 5 point guard in the country. It’s a birthright to whine, but zero believe.”Well, until the last eight or so minutes, Ulis wasn’t having the greatest game; however, when the game got close, he put the team on his back and finished with 1. He’s disappointed and upset with some stuff, and I don’t blame him. Kid wants a win. That’s who he is,” Calipari said of Ulis. “I wore him down and played him too many minutes but I had no choice.”Of all of the telling stats tonight, the fact that 5’9″ Tyler Ulis had more rebounds than Alex Poythress, Marucs Lee, and Skal Labissiere combined says a lot. Eat it, Dakich. Get ready for some changes. Calipari was clearly frustrated after the game, telling Tom Leach that changes are coming.“I gotta figure out what we do. Do I start playing other people and just say ‘That’s it, you had your chance? Maybe you just don’t have it’? I don’t know. I feel bad for those kids because I know they want to do this, but they’re just not getting it done.” Get ready to see the football pads back at practice. In another attempt to inspire toughness from his squad, Calipari said they’ll “go back to football” next week to get ready for another tough road trip to Arkansas. I’m too depressed to worry about that game right now, so let’s move on. Matt and Drew might not be allowed to travel to another road game. So far this season, Matt and Drew have traveled to the UCLA game, the Ohio State game, and now the Auburn game. Kentucky’s lost all three. In fact, Drew was scheduled to go to the LSU game but backed out. According to the KSR calendar, he’s also scheduled to go to Kansas and South Carolina…I doubt Kentucky has much of a shot in the former, but any way we can talk him out of the latter?? I’ll leave you with this…As the final seconds ticked down and it became painfully clear Kentucky was going to lose, John Calipari sent his players back to the locker room early to avoid the inevitable court storm. Ulis was the last to leave the court, and on his way out of the tunnel, he pulled the “Anti- Pitino”: I didn’t think it was possible, but I think that makes me love him even more.

Game of Thrones’ Recap: Season 5, Episode 9, ‘The Dance of Dragons’ - Speakeasy. Hail the Mother of Dragons.“Game of Thrones” somehow managed to up the pulp- fantasy ante this week. Fans praised the conclusion of “Hardhome,” the prior week’s episode, for its depiction of an insane and brutal massacre of Wildlings at the hands of the White Walkers and their Army of the Dead. The end of “The Dance of Dragons,” which fulfilled the promise of its title, will also go down as another great moment in the show’s history. And yet, this week’s episode featured one of the most heartbreaking moments in the five seasons of “Game of Thrones.” We’ll get into the action below, but in the spirit of full disclosure, I should say that I had to choke back some tears during a specific scene. It was yet another moment in which a young woman screamed offscreen, the victim of a twisted authority figure. And yet, unlike Sansa’s wedding night, the scene in question from “The Dance of Dragons,” felt poignant as well as horrific. There were developments in Dorne and Braavos, too, and at the Wall, but the heaviest stuff happened with Stannis’s camp and in Meereen. Let’s get into the matchups. Stannis Baratheon vs. Boltons. Right away, we see what Ramsay Bolton and his 2. Stannis’s camp, destroying food, tents, weapons and horses. At first, it all looks like a vision of Melisandre’s — the flaming horse was an especially surreal — but it turns out to be all too real for Stannis. Ser Davos urges him to turn back to Castle Black, but Stannis, ever stubborn, persists. Have the dead horses butchered for meat,” the would- be ruler commands at one point, his mind troubled by a choice. Knowing that Davos isn’t going to bend, he orders him to Castle Black to demand troops and supplies. Davos, likewise, knows that there’s something else at stake: Stannis’s daughter Shireen, who has king’s blood — which is what Melisandre’s Red God demands. He tries to coax Stannis to allow Shireen to accompany him to Castle Black, but Stannis declines. Before he departs, Davos gives Shireen a wooden stag he made for her. Later, Stannis visits Shireen. His eyes are haunted as he tells her that a man must make hard choices to fulfill his destiny — even if he hates it. Sweet Shireen simply wants to help her father, so she asks if there’s a way. Yes there is, he tells her before they embrace. Forgive me,” he tells her just before she is marched to Melisandre’s pyre. There, Shireen resists, demanding her father be present. He shows up looking like a broken man while Shireen pleads for her life as Melisandre and her flunkies prepare the princess for sacrifice. Then, like any child in peril, Shireen starts pleading for her mother to help — and devout Selyse has a last- minute change of heart, finally realizing the horror that she has enabled. She runs to her daughter, but it’s too late. The guards stop her, and Shireen’s screams echo through the North. EDGE: The Boltons have crippled Stannis’s forces, and they’ve put him in a position where he feels he must murder his own daughter. Whether Stannis gets to Winterfell or not, he is devastated. Jon Snow vs. the Night’s Watch. A weary and desperate Jon and his Wildling horde show up at the Wall much to the chagrin of Ser Alliser, who commands the gate opened anyway. Jon, greeted by suspicious and angry Night’s Watchmen, feels like a failure. Sam tries to console him, and Jon looks to young Olly for some reassurance, but Olly turns away in disgust. You have a good heart, Jon Snow, but it will get us all killed,” Ser Alliser remarks, rubbing salt in the wound. EDGE: It looks like Jon may have more enemies than friends at this point. Jaime Lannister vs. Dorne. The Kingslayer is given an audience with Prince Doran, Ellaria Sand, Myrcella and Trystane, her fiance. Myrcella has gone native, even wearing the lighter clothes of Dorne. The Dornish climate agrees with me,” she says, with a little bit of nasty in her voice. Still, Myrcella must head back to Kings Landing, but she is allowed to be accompanied by Trystane, who will also get a spot on the Small Council to take the place of the departed Oberyn. Ellaria isn’t pleased with the deal, but Jaime is all too happy to agree to the terms, but he wants to know the fate of Bronn, who remains in a cell opposite the Sand Snakes. Trystane is given the power to make a call on Bronn’s fate, and he grants him mercy on one condition: Areo Hotah must clock Bronn to return the favor for when Bronn slugged Trystane. Later, Doran offers Ellaria the chance to show him loyalty, which she takes. Now free to roam, she creeps up on Jaime in his room, where the two engage in a strangely friendly conversation. She tells him that she knows Myrcella — whom she calls Jaime’s daughter — didn’t have anything to do with Oberyn’s death. And, she adds, she thinks Jaime might not have had anything to do with it, either. EDGE: Jaime got what he wanted, but is there still a price to pay? Arya Stark vs. Meryn Trant. While heading to deliver her poisonous payload to the Thin Man, she sees someone who looks awfully familiar: Meryn Trant, whom she blames for the death of her original swordplay teacher, Syrio. The Kingsguardsman is accompanying Mace Tyrell on his mission to bargain with the Iron Bank over the Iron Throne’s debt. Arya follows Mace and Meryn while the Thin Man yells after her for his shellfish snack. Eventually, she tracks Meryn to a brothel. He keeps passing up the girls being offered him for being “too old.” Arya looks on, but one of the knights pushes her into the room with Meryn to sell clams and cockles. She catches Meryn’s eye. Is he intrigued by her, or does he recognize her? EDGE: Still hard to tell at this point. Daenerys Targaryen vs. Sons of the Harpy. The queen, still reluctant, opens the Great Games with a hesitant clap of her hands. What follows is a one- on- one match between two warriors, but the real combat is between Hizdahr zo Loraq and Daario, who argue the merits of smaller, faster fighters against bigger, stronger ones. Hizdahr argues for violence and cruelty in the service of greatness, but neither Dany nor Tyrion agree. Hizdahr challenges her notions of noble deaths, and Tyrion needles him, too. Then, though, the wild card shows up. The disgraced, dying Jorah arrives in the center of the ring to do battle in a melee for his queen’s favor. Against her better judgment, she looks on with concern for Jorah’s life. As he squares up with another swordsman who is outclassing him with quick, wounding strikes, another warrior arrives to bail him out. Still, Jorah has to fight the man who just saved his life. Just as it looks like the Westerosi knight is about to go down again, he rolls toward the man and stabs him in the gut. Then, Jorah spies something happening behind Dany and fires a spear that way, killing a Son of the Harpy who was about to kill her. Daario looks around, and there are masks everywhere. A slaughter begins, and Daario and Jorah get Dany out of there while Hizdahr is butchered. Elsewhere, Missandei is about to be stabbed when Tyrion shows up and cuts the attacker’s throat. The Sons of the Harpy are too many, though, and only a few guards surround Dany, Jorah, Tyrion, Daario and Missandei. The Sons of the Harpy make their move, and it looks like the end is coming for the last Targaryen. Then, a roar pierces the skies. Drogon soars into the arena spouting flame. He is terror incarnate, and he takes on the Sons that don’t flee. The dragon is taking plenty of hits himself, too, as the Sons fling spears at him. It is now time for Dany to save her child. She mounts the great red and black dragon, and they soar away, leaving behind the bloody chaos of Meereen. EDGE: The Sons may have their city back, but Dany has now embraced her calling as the dragon queen. Who is winning the Game of Thrones so far this season? Now that Dany has embraced her birth right, and it’s clear that Meereen is no longer the right place for her, she has to have the edge. Discuss “Game of Thrones” at the WSJ’s TV Club on Facebook.

Light against Darkness (or somesuch). The opening music was absolutely the best. Anyone who ever played the game will no doubt remember the music. Archon II was pretty spiffy, too. Argh. It was just a puzzle / strategy game, there were different shaped and different colored pieces and it would tell you before you started where each piece had to go, so then you have only one open space and you have to slide the pieces around in this box until you get the right colored shapes where they're suppose to go.

For the original 1. Shadow Warrior game, see Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warrior is a first- person shootervideo game developed by Polish independent development studio Flying Wild Hog and published by Devolver Digital for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, Play. Station 4 and Xbox One. It is a reboot of the 1. D Realms and published by GT Interactive, now licensed out by Devolver Digital, featuring the same character Lo Wang and a modern era setting with Asian mythology elements, all of which were redesigned with modern, full 3. D graphics and new gameplay features, while also being a throwback to classic first- person shooters. The game was released on 2. September 2. 01. 3 through digital distribution via Steam and GOG. On 3. 1 March 2. 01. OS X and Linux.[1] Upon its release, the game was met with generally positive reviews from reviewers and critics. Gameplay[edit]Shadow Warrior is a single- player first- person shooter where players take control of the modern ninja mercenary Lo Wang from a first- person perspective as he fights through levels of demonic hordes.[2] Levels themselves are divided into chapters, each with Wang progressing through smaller stages to large open battle arenas that have side and hidden areas, occasionally allowing another route.[3]Wang is equipped with various firearms that require ammunition that can be found throughout stages. Firearms range from fictional versions of pistols, submachine guns, shotguns and rocket launchers, some of which can be dual- wielded.[4] These also include secondary firing modes that allow players to alternate between different modes or rates of fire. Non- firearm weapons include crossbows that can fire both ordinary bolts or sticky grenades that can be remotely detonated at will. In addition to firearms, Wang’s signature weapon is the katana, which is limited to close quarters combat unlike ranged firearms, but is also very effective against enemies. Different swings and strikes can be utilized depending on different computer key and mouse movement combinations, creating unique moves of varying effectiveness depending on the enemy type, with the ability slice up enemies into multiple pieces.[3][5] For example, a well- timed and properly placed strike can decapitate and instantly take down a foe, or a large swing can strike multiple opponents at once. When using the katana, throwing shurikens can also be used as a secondary backup weapon. The katana can also be drawn to perform a quick strike when using firearms in closer quarters.[3]Enemies themselves vary in strength, size and attack pattern. Some enemies will aggressively attack head on while others use projectiles or other abilities to hinder Wang's effectiveness in combat. Certain enemies can also be hindered or only killed through the removal of certain limbs, as opposed to others than can be taken down with simpler direct measures. Certain enemies also occasionally drop items Wang can use including a demon heart that can kill or stun nearby enemies with one use and a demon head that can be used as to fire damaging flames at enemies. The game also features boss fights that are unique, only appearing at certain points in the game and much more formidable in combat, usually requiring key points of attack and minor puzzle elements within the stage.[6]Wang can upgrade his abilities and weapons with multiple forms of in- game currency for different aspects.[6] "Money" is gained by locating it throughout levels and is used to upgrade weaponry such as recoil laser sights, extra barrels and new fire modes. Karma" points are gained through how well the player performs in combat, like well- aimed gunshots and katana moves such as head- shots and limb removals (indicated briefly in- game) or large deposits hidden within stages.[2] These points can be spent on new skills such as increasing healing and damage output, while also allowing new katana moves and luck bonuses. Finally there are "Ki Crystals" that can also be found hidden in levels that allow Wang to learn new powers that can be used in combat, including shockwave attacks, health and damage properties and stunning or manipulating enemies.[7] These new abilities are represented through tattoos on Wang’s body. Wang’s health is indicated through the in- game head- up display. After taking damage, health can be regained through finding health packs found throughout levels. However Wang can also use a power that heals him up.[3]Lo Wang is an assassin who works for the powerful Japanese industrial magnate, Orochi Zilla. He is sent to purchase an ancient katana from a collector named Mizayaki for 2 million dollars. Mizayaki refuses the offer and Lo Wang tries to take the sword by force, killing his men in the process. Lo Wang is captured and caged, but escapes when demons attack the compound. Mizayaki is killed in the attack and Lo Wang allies himself with a masked demon named Hoji. Hoji explains that the Nobitsura Kage, as the sword is called, is capable of slaying immortals and is anathema to demons. He also mentions that the Nobitsura Kage is actually three swords, and so Lo Wang seeks them out to merge them into one. Through the course of the game, Lo Wang comes across "Whisperers": magical golems which contain a memory that one of the Ancients, the immortals that rule the demons, chose to sequester away. By slaying these golems, Wang absorbs their memories and learns of the game's back- story. In the Shadow Realm, the home realm of the demons, the rain is fueled by the weeping of Ameonna, the sister of Hoji and the other Ancients. Hoji and Ameonna had an incestuous affair, which made her happy and stopped the rain. This caused a disastrous drought, and when the affair was discovered by Enra, the ruler of the Shadow Realm, Hoji's other brothers, Gozu, Mezu, and Xing, separated the pair and disfigured Hoji as punishment, forcing him to wear a mask. Ameonna accepted her responsibility to the Shadow Realm, which embittered Hoji against both her for her abandonment and Enra for his tyranny over the Ancients. He conspired to poison his sister and take revenge upon Enra, tricking Xing into delivering a tainted potion that put her into an eternal slumber and causing another drought, using this to draw Enra to the temple so that Xing could overthrow him and rule the Shadow Realm in his stead. But the plot was stopped by Mezu, the most loyal of the brothers to Enra. Xing was beheaded by Gozu on Enra's orders for his role in the plot, which did not kill him, and Hoji was banished to the mortal realm for his treachery. Enra saw that only the sacrifice of an Ancient could revive Ameonna and save the Shadow Realm, and thus sought the Nobitsura Kage, the only thing in existence which can kill an Ancient. Enra hired the mortal Zilla to find and assemble the sword, promising a cure for his paraplegia and the assistance of demons to conquer the Earth. On his quest for the sword, Lo Wang, who originally sought the Nobitsura Kage to deliver to him, turns against his boss, betraying the Kyokagami twins, fellow assassins who also work for Zilla, in order to help Hoji retrieve the second major piece of the weapon. When Enra captures Hoji, Lo Wang uses the last Whisperer on earth to travel to the Shadow Realm and learns that Hoji, who originally created the Whisperers, regrets his role in plunging the Shadow Realm into misery and seeks to undo his wrong by creating another Whisperer, taking away his memory of Lo Wang. Lo Wang convinces him that Enra needs to be stopped, and so the two join forces once more, with Hoji seeking to redeem himself by killing Enra and using his blood to revive Ameonna. Upon their return to earth, Lo Wang confronts Zilla, who has the final piece of the sword, and cuts off his sword arm. As Lo Wang reassembles the Nobitsura Kage to its full Ancient- killing power, Zilla escapes with the help of the Kyokagami twins. With the full Nobitsura Kage in his hands, Lo Wang returns to the Shadow Realm with Hoji to confront Enra. Lo Wang is captured by Enra and stripped of the sword. Enra tries to sacrifice Hoji to revive Ameonna by means of using the original Whisperer that Hoji made, which can handle the Nobitsura Kage without harm, but Hoji disarms the Whisperer and hands the sword back to Lo Wang, forcing Enra to retreat. By touching the Nobitsura Kage, Hoji dooms himself. Lo Wang corners Enra, who allows Lo Wang to slay him, since he is the only sacrificial candidate left. Ameonna awakens, and upon seeing the dead body of Hoji, she weeps, bringing rain back to the Shadow Realm. Development[edit]Devolver Digital planned to reboot the game with Flying Wild Hog as the developer in mind from the start, first approaching Scott Miller of 3. D Realms about new developments.[8] As with the developer's last game Hard Reset, according to studio writer Jan Bartkowicz the game was designed to reflect the "old school design" with emphasis on fast- paced shooting against masses of enemies and no use of cover mechanics. Bartkowicz however also stated that they wanted to gameplay to also be new in other aspects, particularly the katana, not wanting it to be "only used when you ran out of ammo" but rather make it an integral part of the gameplay.[8] In regards to the new writing style and character redesign, Bartkowicz explained it as "a much more clever sense of humor and wit, rather than relying on the old Duke Nukem or Shadow Warrior tropes, falling back on jokes about women and racial stereotyping," instead being drawn to what they considered to be the "rich setting" of the original game.[8]The game was first announced in May, 2. Lo Wang before revealing the character of Hoji.[9] The game was further shown off at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2. June, conveying the trademark humor and over the top violence, with designer Pawe. Е‚ Kowalewski comparing it to grindhouse film, calling it "so violent it's funny".

Winnie The Pooh Board Game 1959 ImpalaWalt Disney died, with the release of The Little Mermaid (1. However, the film is now hailed as one of the greatest animated films of all time.[citation needed]The film was directed by Les Clark, Eric Larson, and Wolfgang Reitherman, under the supervision of Clyde Geronimi, with additional story work by Joe Rinaldi, Winston Hibler, Bill Peet, Ted Sears, Ralph Wright, and Milt Banta. The film's musical score and songs, featuring the work of the Graunke Symphony Orchestra under the direction of George Bruns, are arrangements or adaptations of numbers from the 1. Sleeping Beauty ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Along with Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Igor Stravinsky's music composition was also popular in the film. Sleeping Beauty was the first animated film to be photographed in the Super Technirama 7. Disney's own Lady and the Tramp four years earlier. The film was presented in Super Technirama 7. A live- action re- imagining produced by Walt Disney Pictures, directed by Robert Stromberg, and starring Angelina Jolie as Maleficent, Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora, Brenton Thwaites as Prince Phillip, with Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville as the three good fairies, was released in 2. It met with mixed reviews from critics, but was a commercial success and the fourth highest- grossing film of 2. Jolie. After many childless years, King Stefan and Queen Leah happily welcome the birth of their daughter, Princess Aurora. They proclaim a holiday for their subjects to pay homage to the princess and celebrate her birth. At the gathering for her christening she is betrothed to Prince Phillip, the young son of King Hubert, Stefan's friend, so that their kingdoms will always be united. Among the guests are three good fairies: Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, who have come to bless the child with gifts. Flora and Fauna give their blessings (beauty and song, respectively) before the wicked witch named Maleficent appears. Angered upon not being invited to the christening, Maleficent curses the princess, proclaiming that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of an enchanted spinning wheel and die. After the witch leaves, Merryweather uses her blessing to alter the curse so that instead of dying, Aurora will fall into a deep sleep from which she can only be awakened by true love's first kiss. King Stefan, still fearful for his daughter's life, orders all spinning wheels in the kingdom to be burned. The fairies don't believe that will be enough to keep Aurora safe, and so they spirit baby Aurora away to a woodcutter's cottage in the forest until the day of her sixteenth birthday. Years later, Aurora, called Briar Rose by the fairies, has grown up into a beautiful, young woman. On the day of her sixteenth birthday, the three fairies ask Rose to gather berries in the forest so they can prepare a surprise party for her. Meanwhile, Maleficent, in frustration; has her scouting raven to search for Aurora after her bumbling demon soldiers fail to do so. In the forest, Rose's beautiful singing voice attracts the attention of Prince Phillip, now a handsome young man. They instantly fall in love, unaware of being betrothed years ago. Rose asks Phillip to come to her cottage that evening to meet her family. Having difficulty sewing together a ballgown for Rose, the fairies resort to magic and Flora and Merryweather get into a fight over the color, blue or pink, of the gown. The magic battle, with puffs exiting the chimney of the cottage, attracts Maleficent's raven attention. When Rose arrives, the fairies tell her the truth about her royal heritage, and that she has been promised at birth to be married to a prince. Heartbroken, Rose leaves the room. Overhearing this, the raven goes to inform Maleficent. Meanwhile, Phillip tells his father of a peasant girl he met and wishes to marry in spite of his prearranged marriage to Princess Aurora. King Hubert fails to convince him otherwise, leaving him in equal disappointment. The fairies take Aurora back to the castle that evening. Maleficent then appears, and magically lures Aurora away from the fairies and tricks the princess into touching the spinning wheel in a tower. Winnie the Pooh is a 2011 American animated musical comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 51st. If you want to view a complete list of disney movies, scoll down (there is alot). Or you can view them broken out in a few different genres. Despite efforts to stop her by the three fairies, Aurora pricks her finger, completing the curse, and falls into a deep sleep. The good fairies put Aurora on a bed in the highest tower and cast a gentle spell on the people of the kingdom, causing them all to fall asleep until the spell on their princess is broken. From King Hubert's conversation with King Stefan, Flora realize that Prince Phillip is the man with whom Aurora has fallen in love. However, he is ambushed and kidnapped by Maleficent and her minions at the cottage. They take him to Maleficent's castle on the Forbidden Mountain and imprison him in the dungeon. Maleficent shows Prince Phillip that the peasant girl and the now sleeping Princess Aurora are one and the same. She plans to keep him locked away until he's an old man on the verge of death, then release him to meet his love, who hasn't aged a single day. After Maleficent returns to her tower, the fairies arrive at Maleficent's castle, where they narrowly avoid being spotted by Maleficent's guards and Maleficent herself. Luckily, they find and release Phillip, arming him with the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Virtue. The fairies and Phillip then proceed to escape the castle. In the process, Merryweather also turns Maleficent's raven to stone, but the raven caused enough noise to catch Maleficent's attention to the escaping prince. After Phillip and the fairies escape the castle, Maleficent tries to stop him with a series of attacks, and even conjuring a forest of thorns, but all attempts fail as Phillip cuts his way through. She then teleports herself to the gate to the castle and transforms into a gigantic dragon to battle the prince herself. The battle continues on a cliff, where Phillip loses his shield. After an intense fight, Phillip throws the sword, blessed by the fairies' magic, directly into Maleficent's heart, causing her to fall to her death. Now that Maleficent has been destroyed, the branches of thorns disappear, leaving the gate to Stefan's castle wide open. Phillip dashes in and, upon seeing the tall tower that Maleficent showed earlier, heads upstairs. At the top he finds his true love, Aurora, still under the sleeping spell. He awakens Aurora with true love's first kiss, finally breaking the curse and waking up everyone in the palace. The royal couple descends to the ballroom, where Aurora is happily reunited with King Stefan and Queen Leah, her parents (aside Hubert's confusion). Flora and Merryweather resume their argument over the color of Aurora's dress, changing it to pink and then blue as Aurora dances with Phillip. Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip live happily ever after. Directing animators. Edit. Eric Larson did not animate any of the characters for the film; instead, he directed the entire "Forest" sequence which stretches from Briar Rose (a. Aurora) wandering through the forest with her animal friends all the way to Princess Aurora renamed Briar Rose running back home, promising Phillip they will meet again later in the evening. This was the only time he directed a sequence or a film during his tenure at Walt Disney Feature Animation. Production. Edit. Story development. Edit. Following the critical and commercial success of Cinderella, writing for Sleeping Beauty began in early 1. Partial story elements originated from discarded ideas for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs including Maleficent's capture of Prince Philip and his dramatic escape from her fortress and Cinderella where a fantasy sequence featured the leading protagonists dancing on a cloud which was developed, but eventually dropped from the film.[3] By the middle of 1. Wilfred Jackson had recorded the dialogue, assembled a story reel, and was to commence for preliminary animation work where the Princess Aurora and the Prince Phillip were to meet in the forest and dance, though Walt Disney decided to throw out the sequence delaying the film from its initial 1. For a number of months, Jackson, Ted Sears, and two story writers underwent a rewrite of the story, which received a lukewarm response from Disney. During the story rewriting process, the story writers felt the original fairy tale's second act felt bizarre and with the wake- up kiss serving as a climactic moment, they decided to concentrate on the first half finding strength in the romance. However, they felt little romance was developed between the strangely prince and the princess that the storyboard artists worked out an elaborate sequence in which the king organized a treasure hunt. The idea was eventually dropped when it became too drawn out and drifted from the central storyline. Instead, it was written that the Prince Phillip and the Princess Aurora would meet in the forest by random chance while Princess Aurora renamed Briar Rose was conversing with the forest animals. Additionally, because the original Perrault tale had the curse last one hundred years, the writers decided to shorten it a few hours with the time spent for Prince Phillip to battle the goons, overcome several obstacles, and fight off against Maleficent transformed into a dragon. The name given to the princess by her royal birth parents is "Aurora" (Latin for "dawn"), as it was in the original Tchaikovsky ballet. Lord British Postulate - TV Tropes"If it exists as a living creature in an MMORPG, someone, somewhere, will try to kill it."If a game designer wants an NPC to be invulnerable, they'd better make sure that it truly is. The Lord British Postulate was coined in this. Wo. W Insider post, and is the cornerstone of the creativity and ingenuity of the more cunning player. In short, if a NPC cannot be killed through normal means, then there must be some abnormal means to do the job. Quite often, if a character's weapons fail to do the duty, then the task falls upon other NPCs, world objects, or the environment to assassinate the relevant target with some prodding from the player characters. The Lord British Postulate is not restricted to MMORPGs, but can be applied elsewhere: CRPGs, FPSes, even Tabletop RPGs. The name references the fact that there is a way to murder Lord British in nearly every Ultima game, famously including Ultima Online, where Lord British was killed by a fire spell because his invulnerability flags hadn't been set properly after a server crash. Download the best classic and new games on Windows, Mac & Linux. A vast selection of titles, DRM-free, with free goodies and 30-day money-back guarantee. That said, the Lord British Postulate has less grounding in reality than one would assume. A great number of NPCs are free to walk around unmolested, safe in their invulnerability. However, the more important the NPC is, the more likely it will be the target of a creative assassination attempt. A king is a bigger target than the common baker and much more satisfying to dispatch. This trope can be an applied form of Loophole Abuse with how you go about killing Lord British (or any other normally unkillable NPC). Genre Savvy developers will code in what happens if you do manage to kill them. Lord British, whose full name is Lord Cantabrigian British, [1] is the name of the fictional ruler of Britannia, a kingdom in the fictional world of Sosaria, created.Download my new Video Game - Ninja King : Samurai Maze here - http:// Get Ultima 4, 5, 6 - Plug & Play Windows Version Here - http://bit.ly. Lord British, of course, from the Ultima series, who just happens to be one of Richard Garriott's two in-game Author Avatars. The postulate itself stems from a time. Ultima es una saga de videojuegos de rol por computadora desarrollada por Origin Systems, Inc. Fue creada por Richard Garriot, (también conocido como Lord British). Contrast with Invulnerable Civilians, which simply can't be killed. A Hopeless Boss Fight or Invincible Minor Minion is seen as a challenge to these people. Can lead to the game being Unwinnable by Insanity if the loss of the NPC screws you over. This has nothing to do with the other ship from Gradius. Examples: open/close all folders Fighting Games In Soul. Calibur III, the subboss Ceres is supposed to be unbeatable (you are told to endure the battle until time runs out without getting killed), but it is possible to beat Ceres if you attack very quickly and break his guard. Probably because the game designers didn't intend you to beat him, nothing special happens after you do. Fighters Destiny and its sequel have a minigame where the objective is to stay in the ring as long as possible against a seemingly invincible bull. In reality, the bull can fall off the stage, though if this happens the round ends as if you fell. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the supposedly invincible Wario- Man, as well as characters using a Starman, can both be KO'd in the conventional fashion by chucking a Team Healer item at them while they're at a high enough percentage and not on your team. On a similar note, while Giga Bowser is completely Immune to Flinching, he can still be star KO'd if he's hit while he's off the top of the screen. In stamina matches, both characters still take damage; defeating while in these forms will cause them to revert. In Rival Schools when playing story mode, there's an early battle with the final boss and a brainwashed student. He's supposed to beat the player so they get brainwashed as well, which is a part of the story. He has insane attack and very high defense, however very high defense doesn't mean invulnerability, so a skilled player can still beat him. Doing so will make you skip most of the story and throw you straight to the last battle with a heavily weakened version of the boss compared to the one you just beat. First Person Shooters In Golden Eye 1. This includes Baron Samedi during his The End.. Or Is It? moment. This has no gameplay impact whatsoever, though. A similar result can be reached by precise placement of explosives to where a character will appear during a cutscene, and then quickly triggering it before they explode. The Jedi Heroes in the first Star Wars: Battlefront game were invulnerable to normal weapons; they would deflect blasters and simply get knocked down by splash damage. It is possible to kill them by using grenades or heavy weapons to knock them into environmental hazards: off the edge of Cloud City, into the Sarlacc pit, or into the Carbonite Freezing chamber. It is also possible to kill them by landing aircraft on them or ramming them them with a speeder bike. An even easier method is to get them between a few turrets firing at the right rate. The flinch effect will keep them immobilized long enough for you to take them out. Sadly, they'd just respawn like Agents in The Matrix. You could also do this by using a vehicle to push said Jedi off the playable area; though this will kill you eventually, it'll also kill the Jedi, which will (for whatever reason) not damage your vehicle whatsoever. This works great with the Galactic Republic's tank. Deus Ex has plenty of invincible NPCs, but many can be killed due to a collision bug. Get one to stand on the edge of a piece of furniture, then push the furniture against a wall. They will pass partially through the wall and then die instantly as the game seems to think they've been crushed. In Deus Ex: Invisible War, important NPCs aren't coded to be invincible, but are simply placed in areas where you can't use your weapons, or speak with you from behind bulletproof glass. One such important NPC, Billie Adams, can be seen at the beginning of the game running into an inaccessible booth before speaking with you. It's possible to kill her before she gets into the booth. This removes her from the game, but in later encounters there will be gaps in the dialogue where she was supposed to be, because the game was never programmed to deal with her not being alive. Interestingly, the engine does support flagging NPCs as unkillable — though any NPC flagged as such is in a place where weapons are disabled, with one obscure exception, so most players will not notice. Why Billie is not flagged this way is unclear. One side- quest has a canopy with a weapon and a scientist. Open the canopy with a button press and the scientist gets locked behind an indestructable door. Kill the scientist and the canopy locks down instead, denying you the weapon. To achieve both, place a metal box so that the door cannot close, open the canopy, get the weapon, and then head for the scientist. Get a melee weapon and hack away (which will really take a while due to obscene amounts of health). For your effort, you get chided from one faction for helping the other, but later still get their award as well as the other faction's bonus. Prior to being patched out, it was possible to kill Eli Vance in Half- Life 2. The player's attacks don't hurt him at all, but if you grabbed a sentry gun from earlier in the level, carried it all the way to Eli, and set it down facing him, it would quickly blow him away. Bio. Shock features an invincible Splicer named Rosenote She's the one that kills Johnny in the very beginning while you're trapped in the Bathysphere that can only normally killed in her final appearance, but it is possible to kill her sooner on Easy if you've stocked up on anti personnel machine gun rounds. In Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it is possible to kill Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler himself by noclipping away from the final boss fight to a normally inaccessible part of the level where the cutscene plays, as it is done in- engine, and placing a timed dynamite charge set to detonate at just the right time. Ludicrous Gibs ensue. Team Fortress 2 has an example very similar to the original from Ultima Online. Team Fortress creator Robin Walker has equipped himself with the Valve Rocket Launcher, a Purposely Overpowered joke weapon that gives him ludicrous damage, health, and mobility. However, Robin isn't completely invincible, and a sufficiently skilled and/or opportunistic player can still manage to kill him. MMORPGs Lord British, of course, from the Ultima series, who just happens to be one of Richard Garriott's two in- game Author Avatars. The postulate itself stems from a time during the Ultima Online beta test where, following a crash, Lord British' invulnerability flag was unknowingly turned off, and a player killed him with a hastily- stolen firefield spell on the spur of the moment during a public gathering. The guards moved in, the players fought back, and the whole thing turned into an in- game riot. Most NPCs in World of Warcraft are actually killable to players of the opposing faction, including racial leaders such as Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, and the like. However, most NPCs in the neutral city of Shattrath should be invulnerable, as combat from players is forbidden there.. The main NPC of the city, a massive naaru named A'dal, was killed in this way several times until it was buffed to nigh- unkillable levels. It seems that the original A'dal had very few HP. It's still possible to kill A'dal with a quest mob that becomes immune to everything at 5. It just takes a very very very long time. In theory, it would also be possible to kite said mob to A'dal, then kite him away, effectively kiting A'dal itself (and every guard in the city). There is a rumor of this being done, but there are no videos to back it up. The pre- launch event of the second expansion involved an infection that would turn player characters into zombies that were hostile towards everything but each other. You can use this opportunity to kill NPCs that were otherwise unattackable to both factions. In the third expansion, one guild managed to kill Tirion Fordring by luring a mini- boss from earlier in the dungeon to him. Invoked with the Whale Shark. An immense boss mob with no loot of any kind and the ability to one- shot anybody that attacks it, Blizzard had to add an achievement for killing it because so many people wanted to. Some players expand this to include other players when not in Pv. P situations that allow deaths. Richard Garriott – Wikipedia. Richard Allen Garriott de Cayeux (* 4.
