![]() All in the first chapter! Mark is really making his point: Jesus is God.īy chapter 4, Mark is emphasizing more of the ways Jesus is a powerful authority. The first chapter of Mark moves quickly narrating Jesus’s baptism, temptation, beginning of ministry, calling the first disciples, healing and preaching. Mark’s goal is to convince his readers Jesus really is God incarnate. But as with every Gospel writer, there is a main theme or purpose God wants to emphasize based on the people each writer was addressing-and ultimately for everyone down through time. We need to remember that there were many other ideas and themes (and thus examples from Jesus’s ministry), Mark could have included. One of the primary purposes of Mark’s Gospel account is to reveal Jesus’ identity and authority because He is the Son of God and the second person of the Trinity. What Is the Context of Peace Be Still in Mark 4:39? Many times, we don’t see immediate answers or solutions to our problems when we call on Jesus, but in this instance, He wanted to show the disciples and us, His ultimate power to fully build their and our faith. The effect Jesus wanted wasn’t gradual but immediate. Jesus designed the wind and sea to be able to blow which means He also has authority over it to control its actions.Įven though the storm was resistant, the result of Jesus’s command was instant calm. This Greek word, kopazo meaning cease, carries the idea of “grew tired.” The power of the natural elements was totally drained of its destructive force in one second at the demand and command of their creator. Then the writer of the Gospel, Mark, tells us the wind and churning seas “ceased” and there was a great calm. The ship was already taking on water and the disciples thought they would be "eaten" by the sea. In Greek maritime usage, the sea swallows up ships, so here it is used as an order to the sea to shut her mouth in order not to swallow the ship. Again, we get the sense that the storm and raging water would love to resist Jesus’ command, and yet it is powerless to fight against His power and authority. Jesus also said, “Be still.” The Greek word is pefimoso meaning to muzzle, silence, and cause to be speechless. Jesus overcame it and conquered it without its cooperation. Some theologians comment that the sea wanted to resist but couldn’t. Jesus takes away its ability to “speak” and rage. The Greek word “peace” that Jesus uses is an imperative (command) noun, siope, meaning the sea must be silent and mute.

![]() But that isn’t at all what they wrote and so now we have this broken mess. They probably only meant switching feats that give you a choice to work with the weapon, similar to the warblade class feature weapon aptitude (which would be kind of weak for a +1 but not hideously so when combined with the auto-proficiency). ![]() Aptitude is poorly written and easily the most broken thing in an otherwise excellent book. ![]() Proficiency with a light crossbow allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it. Ultimately, I do not really recommend this. Type: Simple Ranged Weapon Cost: 25 gp Weight: 5 lbs. That means there is no problem putting it on the great crossbow, which has much higher damage, and you don’t even need Exotic Weapon Proficiency. This trick gets better, though, if you take advantage of another property of aptitude-it allows you to always use the weapon proficiently. So aptitude lets your heavier crossbow still work with Hand Crossbow Focus, which always provides free-action reloading. Aptitude allows a weapon to benefit from feats for other weapons, and Hand Crossbow Focus allows you to reload a hand crossbow as a free action while also working like Weapon Focus. That is an aptitude heavy crossbow with Hand Crossbow Focus ( aptitude is a +1 special property from Tome of Battle, Hand Crossbow Focus is a feat from Drow of the Underdark). Snappie’s answer covers all the reasonable answers I’m aware of, but there is a cheesy combo that works RAW. (Unlike quick loading, self-loading explicitly says the combination works.) Combine this with the feat Rapid Reload so that the wielder can make iterative attacks. Talk to the DM about using the weapon special ability quick loading in conjunction with the feat Rapid Reload ( Player's Handbook 99) to allow reloading as a free action so full attacks can be made with a heavy crossbow.Ī self-loading crossbow ( Arms and Equipment Guide 116) (12,350 gp 8 lbs.) is a +1 heavy crossbow that can be reloaded by taking a move action. There is also the magic weapon special ability quick loading ( Magic Item Compendium 41-2) (+1 bonus 0 lbs.) that allows storing 100 bolts in a crossbow and reloading a heavy crossbow as a move action (or, if you want, a light crossbow as a free action). You could use a repeating heavy crossbow which allows the wielder to make 5 attacks before reloading, but then reloading it is a full round action.Īlternatively, the 1st-level Sor/Wiz spell ghostly reload ( Races of the Dragon 113) reloads the weapon for you but has limitations: it's 1 reload/caster level, maximum 10. If you can do that, you can full attack with the heavy crossbow The trick is reducing reloading to a free action. ![]() The Radium Fuel Delivery System is E85 safe.įUEL INJECTORS, FUEL PUMP(S), AND ELECTRICAL (WIRING, RELAY(S), FUSES(S), ETC.) are not included.

![]() It lacks the sophistication of Akira or the sheer camp hyperviolence of Fist of the North Star, but it's still a very enjoyable film, and a solid part of the collection of any anime connoisseur. The voice acting is competent, much better than some eighties dubs I could mention (unfortunately I only have this film on VHS, so I can't compare to the original Japanese). The setting is a nicely realised far future post-apocalyptic landscape full of the standard juxtapositions (horse riders with laser rifles) bought to life by the supernatural element, which seems to have taken monsters and critters from anywhere and everywhere, to no detriment. ![]() The counts boredom, as opposed to the angst that seems to be all the rage in vampire flicks nowadays, is a nice touch, and at no point do characters motives seem unbelievable. As for the plot, there are no problems there, although there are a few cliché moments. Character design is, as said, very stylised, but perfectly acceptable, and D himself looks as cool as all hell. The overall colour scheme, as well, is very Dario Argento: dark blues and browns prevail over the modern, Akira and Ghost in the Shell inspired trend for green overkill. What the original does, with its dirty, old fashioned animation is create a decidedly other-worldly and eerie feel, perfectly encapsulated in the strange, mutated beings that roam the hostile countryside, glowing and sidling in a sinister fashion. Compare the 2000 sequel, 'Bloodlust': the animation in the latter is incredibly slick and the action comes thick and fast, but it might as well be robots fighting in outer space or samurai battling on a mountaintop. The animation, whilst heavily stylised and nowhere near as crisp as todays fare, works perfectly with the material. Many assumed it meant more sex and violence.Vampire Hunter D is the kind of stuff that Manga Entertainment built their business on: old school, action heavy anime with buckets of style. Some fans thought the project was a bad idea while others were puzzled as to what "American feel" meant. Reactions on the Vampire Hunter D mailing list ranged from wary to concerned.

The mini-series, Vampire Hunter D: American Wasteland, was intended to "have a noticeably North American feel never before seen in the Vampire Hunter D mythos."

In June 2008, Devil's Due Publishing announced that they'd struck a deal with Digital Manga Publishing to create a comic book miniseries based on the original franchise. Slash pairings, while rare, can be found although usually only in the context of crossovers with other series. Some fans, however, dislike the pairing and have posted Fandom Secrets-styled graphics confessing this on Tumblr. Because the first anime was available in English for far longer than the novels, the main het pairing is that of D/Doris. Leahy would later translate and adapt the novels to English for DH Press.ĭue to the episodic nature of the novels and D's loner nature, shipping is a low-key activity. In addition to the novel overviews, Leahy would also post reports about author talks Kikuchi often gave. Prior to the publication of the original novels in English, fans often congregated to The Vampire Hunter D Archives where unofficial summaries were posted by a fan named Kevin Leahy who lived in Japan. It also routinely appears on the nominations list for Yuletide. Despite this fact, fanfiction is regularly posted on. As expected from an older source canon, fannish activity is small and quiet. For many anime and manga fans, Vampire Hunter D is the first anime they ever watched. This made it one of the first anime films released outside of Japan, granting it cult status in the English-language market. ![]() The first Vampire Hunter D anime was originally licensed in 1992 by the now-defunct Streamline Pictures in the U.S. A manga adaptation of the series began in late 2007 due to a collaboration between Kikuchi Hideyuki and Digital Manga Publishing, which led to the simultaneous publication of the first volume in Japan, the U.S., and Europe. Both anime films are currently licensed in the U.S. A second anime film based on the third novel in the series, Demon Deathchase, would later be made in 2000. The first novel was also adapted into an anime in 1985. The first Vampire Hunter D novel was published in 1983 and the series became officially available in English in 2005 through DH Press, an imprint of Dark Horse comics. The series combines genre elements from horror, science fiction, westerns, Lovecraftian mythos, and the occult. Set in the far future on a post-apocalyptic Earth, the books chronicle the adventures of the epynonymous D, a dhampir who works as a vampire hunter. Although the series began publication before the genre category was created, the Vampire Hunter D books are sometimes called light novels. Vampire Hunter D is a long-running of series Japanese novels written by Kikuchi Hideyuki and illustrated by Amano Yoshitaka. ![]() ruby-version file stored in your project folder. system - system ruby (state before RVM was installed)Īdditionally you might want to list your preferred ruby version in a. ![]() default - default ruby (or the system ruby if a default hasn't been set).Same rules and options apply as for install command with two special interpreters.

She soon quit Thumbtack and went to study at Stanford GSB, While studying, she thought about starting her own company as well as consulting startups to earn some money.

Graphics: The graphics on this game are pretty good. However, each character has their own story line and cut scenes to unlock. You start out and are pretty much told to get the farm up and running again. Story Line: There isn't too much of a story line here. This is one of the reasons the game is interesting. Of course just like real life these things take awhile to achieve, you have to actually work to befriend people in this game. The harvest sprites are also a cool feature in this game as their friendship is the most rewarding. ![]() One of the main parts of all Harvest Moon games is falling in love, getting married, and starting a family. Once you get to know them you'll learn their wants, fears, love interests, favorite foods, and some of their background. Characters: Most of the characters have a lot of depth in this series. If you haven't, you might be wandering around the first few days wondering what's going on. If you've played previous Harvest Moon games then you'll already know pretty much what to do. As far as the story line goes, there isn't really much of an introduction except to save the farm. All of the characters now have a completely different life. Also, if you go from playing Harvest Moon 64 to this, the characters will really confuse you. If you try to clear it out you'll quickly learn that your tools aren't strong enough to destroy a lot of the bigger obstacles and the field itself just seems to go on forever. First Impression of the Game: At first the huge field is pretty intimidating. This is because of a mix of the time system they run on and all of the things you can unlock. Harvest Moon games also tend to take a very long time to beat. I love getting to know the characters and building up my farm. I love the world they've created and the unique gaming experience.
