Granted he was riding a BMW G310GS at the time, but MO’s resident dirt guy Ryan Adams was impressed with the Tourance’s ability to find traction even in muddy fire roads. The large tread blocks are still able to lay down the power on the pavement, but when you do want to venture a little off-road, deep grooves between the blocks help the Tourance dig into light dirt adventures. Thanks to its highly efficient mixing technology, Metzeler is able to combine silica, carbon black and the latest generation of resins and reinforcement agents to make a tire that comes to temp quickly in all conditions and provides great grip with minimal overheating issues. A thick groove depth combined with balanced carbon black and silica compounds have been used to guarantee a high level of mileage and durability together with great grip in both wet and dry conditions. Designed for 85% road use, these radial tires feature Metzeler’s 0º Steel Radial belt technology to help the tire deform at speed as little as possible. Leaning heavily towards the pavement side of the adventure-touring segment, the Tourance tires are “developed and tuned for the big, modern, street-oriented Enduro motorcycles,” says Metzeler. The best part is, the Roadtec 01 SE’s performance was designed to remain consistent longer, so you can trust them even as the miles (and the wear) build up. In fact, Metzeler claims up to 10% more mileage compared to its Roadtec Z8 – itself a worthy and respected sport-touring tire. We’ll spare the tech talk that has gone into the tires, but from its construction to its tread design and layout, Metzeler focused on long-lasting touring performance with impressive grip to match. There’s a lot of emphasis on making the Roadtec 01 stable and confidence inspiring in low grip situations and under braking. The sidewall construction is the same between both the standard and SE versions, so you get better communication with the road and more compliance on lighter motorcycles. Nonetheless, the Roadtec 01 SE has a higher land/sea ratio along the shoulder, giving you better grip at higher lean angles while still doing a good job moving water out of the way if needed. The grooves remain until about 30º of lean angle, after which the tire is essentially a slick, giving maximum dry grip at high lean angles.īuilding off the Roadtec 01, Metzeler’s top touring tire, the SE version has a bit of a performance edge, for sportier riders who predominantly tour in dry environments. These are claims born straight from testing at the Isle of Man. The tread design is an evolution of the M7’s, with the Pi design enhanced with the claw grooves that Metzeler says help the tire get up to temperature faster and also help with water evacuation. ![]() This construction assists the rear tire’s side compounds in maintaining their thermal stability under loads caused by acceleration. ![]() Where the front soft compound goes all the way through to the tire’s carcass, the rear utilizes what Metzeler calls a “cap and base” construction, with the soft edge compound laid over the harder compound used for the center. Both the front and rear M9 RRs receive dual-compound construction, with the center section being a harder, more wear-resistant one and the outer edges softer and grippier – though both are still full silica. The M9 RR was developed specifically with the advanced electronics today’s motorcycles come equipped with. This update is the result of Metzeler’s Compound Continuous Mixing, which blends the resins used with the silica so thoroughly that the final mixture is stable enough to withstand a significantly wider range of heat. In the past, the key shortcoming of high silica compounds was that they didn’t hold up well to high temperatures – like those generated at the track. This is important because silica is a major component in a tire coming up to working temperature quickly and being effective, even when it’s wet or cold outside. Developed to handle the ever-changing conditions of hardcore canyon riding, the M9 RR is Metzeler’s first supersport tire developed with a 100% silica compound. An aggressive street tire developed with lessons learned from the ultimate street race of them all – the Isle of Man TT – the Sportec M9 RR is the worthy successor to the M7 RR.

![]() This leads to some problems.įirst off, obviously, that’s a lot of bleeding writing. And I’m not talking like “oh you can be boy or girl, dragon, horse, or human, and huge dick or no dick” all that stuff will still be tucked in there, I mean that the final segment would need to be written out in full twelve times. Now, what THIS means is that if I include another binary decision (and never mind that it’d be nice to maybe have a trinary or something at some point) then suddenly the story will split into literally twelve different branches. But when I started actually writing it out, I found that the results of these choices actually had pretty profound effects even after you’ve “had a while to catch your breath.” So I’ve ended up STILL having six paths going into this segment. Now, in the next segment, the plan is more or less “do it again, but with, you know, different stuff and what you did before still matters.” Originally I’d intended to draw it back to three branches here and include a few strong mentions of how the outcome of your previous choice has had an effect on you, and maybe changes how you perceive the next choice. From these three branches, each then extends to two branches based on a decision you make, which then play out until that segment ends. The current stone door content starts off with three main “branches,” or possible paths you can take, each written out completely separate from the others, dependent on your collar, which indicates the rough nature of your relationship with Lith. So uh, if you don’t want to find out how lame and straightforward the next big chunk of the game is gonna be, turn back now! ![]() The following is a discussion of some of the design choices behind MVOL, including HUGE SPOILERS that have virtually nothing to do with the plot and just kinda spoil how the gameplay is gonna work out in that it will actually be kinda predictable. ![]() Exactly how much of what’s planned to come next will make it in before the big new deadline I’ve set for myself remains to be seen, but tackling the upcoming content with a more sincere and focused attitude toward actually “completing” this portion of the plot has brought me face-to-face with an odd conundrum. So the plan for v0.16 is to focus on the next big chunk of content for the stone door. ![]() Inspired by Charlotte’s basketball origins, the Nike-designed #MTNDEWICERisingStars uniforms put a modern twist on the jerseys worn by the ABA’s Carolina Cougars in the 1960s & 1970s.

At the very least the game doesn't feel like it was dumbed down to cater to a younger crowd. G-Force is not a particularly difficult game overall, but then, consider the target audience. There is a pretty cool element where you'll occasionally take control of specific appliances to help your character rather than have it hurt him: a favorite is the vacuum cleaner, which can be used to suck up Darwin and then used to catapult him over obstacles like a wall of lasers that prevent access to the next part of the game. Some doors remain locked until players "hack" into the system by playing a mini-game – on the DS it's a "connect the pipe" puzzle, on the PSP it's a basic game of Dance Dance Revolution using the X, O, Square and Triangle buttons in time to the rhythm of the music. Some require the use of Mooch the housefly to get through normally inaccessible areas and scan needed items like keycards. Levels are pretty straightforward in their design but the designers try to shake things up with a few puzzle elements. Doesn't your guinea pig have a laser whip? The weapon combat is extremely basic button mashing since there's only one attack button, but later levels feature enemies that are a little tougher to get rid of and require a bit more leaping and attacking combinations. Sofas and tables make good mid-level steps, and the designers have fun giving players a good amount of oversized, real-world obstacles to overcome. Since Darwin barely scrapes the one-foot-tall height, his environments – usually offices, kitchens, hallways - are human-scaled so he'll have to do lots of climbing and jetpack hopping to get up high, many times into the rafters or vent shafts. The majority of G-Force's action revolves around a "go from point A to B" 3D platforming design, with a bit of basic Ratchet and Clank-style weapon combat thrown in. ![]() G-Force follows Darwin, a crazy-skilled member of an elite team of guinea pigs, with the occasional mole and housefly thrown in for good measure. ![]() So while G-Force on the handheld may lift the same story and locations from the console, the DS and PSP editions offer a different take on a similar game. Both the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable are the same general experience, which is loosely based on the Eurocom design. For the two handheld systems on the market, Disney went with Keen Games, a German game shop previously known as Neon Studios. All of the console versions - Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 – were developed by Eurocom using the same game design. ![]() ![]() His own name, Sam Wilson, was not given until the following issue. He was introduced as an unnamed former resident of New York City's Harlem neighborhood, who had adopted a wild falcon he trained and named Redwing. I looked at several African-American magazines, and used them as the basis of inspiration for bringing The Falcon to life. I approached Stan, as I remember, with the idea of introducing an African-American hero and he took to it right away. I always found their features interesting and so much of their strength, spirit and wisdom written on their faces. I drew as many different types of people as I could into the scenes I illustrated, and I loved drawing black people. ![]() One of the biggest steps we took in this direction came in Captain America. in the late 1960s Vietnam War and civil rights protests were regular occurrences, and Stan, always wanting to be at the forefront of things, started bringing these headlines into the comics.
