With the third-row seat in use, the Sorento Hybrid holds 12.6 cubic feet of cargo. ![]() However, the third-row cushion is utterly flat, and the head restraints are mighty close to the rear window glass, so this is a short-term solution at best. Larger adults may struggle to get in, but the Sorento offers unexpected third-row passenger space as long as second-row occupants are willing to slide forward a bit. To enter the third row, you can squeeze between the second-row chairs or use a button that quickly tips and slides the captain’s chair out of the way for more clearance. Also, the EX’s panoramic glass sunroof (now optional for 2022) extends to a point above the second-row passengers’ heads. Air conditioning vents and airline-style smartphone charging ports are much appreciated. Storage netting on the front seatbacks and the sides of each chair comes in handy, along with the cupholders molded into each door panel and located within reach of children. The test vehicle had second-row captain’s chairs, and they offered good space and support for my legs. Unfortunately, the shape and hard plastic of the center console causes discomfort to your right leg as it rests there during longer journeys. The 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat also ensured proper comfort and support for hours of driving at a time. Triple-digit heat blanketed the desert, but the Sorento Hybrid remained cool inside despite a lack of ventilated seat cushions. I drove the Sorento Hybrid from the suburbs of Los Angeles to Scottsdale, Arizona, and back. The new-for-2022 widescreen infotainment system looks more sophisticated than the test vehicle had, but it also loses the 2021 Sorento Hybrid’s wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Inside, the new Sorento Hybrid reflects a flair for style with textured dashboard trim, perforated and patterned simulated leather upholstery, and bold air vent designs. They also look a lot like those on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Vertical taillights remind me of the Ford Mustang, but without the sequential turn signals. A chrome shark-fin applied to the rear door pillar interrupts the clean appeal of the Sorento’s greenhouse but helps to distinguish and identify the vehicle from a distance. The new SUV looks angrier somehow, like somebody cut it off in traffic. The SUV’s angular styling certainly is a departure from the previous-generation Sorento’s rounded but upscale forms. The test vehicle’s comparatively plain 17-inch wheels might be great for fuel efficiency, but they don’t help to elevate the Sorento’s looks. Kia is wise to add larger and more appealing 19-inch wheels to the 2022 Sorento Hybrid EX. Independent Expert Opinion: Design, Comfort, and Utility - Find the best Kia deals!

“Working with a team as talented as Xbox has made the creative development process an incredible experience. The iconic Xbox brand comes together with Meta Thread’s look to create a futuristic, hard hitting line that brings the lifestyle of gaming to every fan. Maintaining an urban stylish tone, the gear will create functional modern clothing for gamers everywhere. Meta Threads and Microsoft have been working on a second clothing line that highlights both athletic and technological influences. Meta Threads, the popular gamer clothing line which hosts top styles from influencers and esports teams, has joined forces with Microsoft for their second generation of Xbox apparel, launching June 11th during E3 2019. Regardless of who we work with, our main goal is to present our partners with high-quality garments and design detail.Meta Threads Introduces the Next Evolution of High-Quality Gamer Clothing Available June 11th “Both of these aspects are equally important to a team, whereas most streamers are keen on developing a casualwear line their fans would appreciate. In the case of an esports org we need to consider two elements performance and lifestyle,” Nabi said. “The largest difference between developing product for an esports organization and an individual influencer is the design directive. The company has also produced apparel for a number of esports teams including Immortals and Panda Global. Meta Threads has previously developed collections for several of gaming influencers including Rachel “Valkyrae” Marie and Federico “FEDMYSTER” Gaytan. Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, a gaming streamer who recently moved to the streaming platform Mixer, commands a large audience which caught the eyes of adidas executives who ended up signing the influencer to a deal. “We believe this trend will continue to grow as retailers begin to explore the potential revenues that can be had from merchandise sales within our market.”Īccording to a report by Newzoo, esport merchandise and ticket sales should see revenue figures over $103M at the close of 2019. ![]() Just within the past six months Meta Threads has become a certified vendor with Zumiez, Best Buy, and WalMart,” Steve Nabi, Meta Threads CEO told Esports Observer. “With the increased visibility the esports and gaming community is receiving, we anticipate seeing more mainstream sales channels open up. Additionally, retail space is being dedicated to esports and influencer merchandise with Nerd Street Gamers and We Are Nations just having signed a deal that will see esports player and team apparel sold in Localhost stores. The line will feature three hoodies, two long sleeve t-shirts, two short sleeve t-shirts, and two hats.Įsports and influencer branded apparel and sponsorship deals have been big in 2019 as the likes of Nike, adidas, and Puma and have entered the space. Meta Threads, a lifestyle gaming brand, has announced a collaboration with Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm to offer consumers “The Dr Disrespect Line” of athletic apparel.

![]() I could see Matoya being angry with the cat boy for his reckless actions, that he should of just let the universe take it's natural course even if it meant the Ascians succeeded in their objective because what he did could turn out to be worse than anything the Ascians could of done.Also launching today is the open beta for the PlayStation®5 console version of FINAL FANTASY XIV Online. Since now a parallel reality exist where the Ascian succeeded, so not only is Hydaelyn split into shards but you now have a secondary reality where the Ascian succeeded. That maybe it somehow falls into an Ascians plan to have something like this happen because what's more chaotic than messing with time itself. This could be how Zenos makes himself more of a threat, with how dangerous he is with the Echo, it's possible he could potentially echo himself into the future or even the other realms purposely causing carnage to draw out the WOL.īut I could definitely see the expansion integrate consequences to time travel and how the history we changed is going to effect the world. The only thing we might of changed was the time in which it occurred so everything could happen later or perhaps another entity from the future will come through the Crystal Tower to undo what was done, Terminator style lol. There is also the idea of say Back to the Future 2 where Biff going to the past to give his past self the means to be rich but the future not altering itself right away gave those from the future the ability to react, granted I guess in reality that even though we did save the other world from the light it doesn't necessarily change the future. I feel my theory could be right, that even though we saved the present from our future, the future that should of been will still creep in because the energy needs to go somewhere or something. And heck, maybe we'll finally get a Disciple of Magic as the canon class this time! As much as I want to finally be able to see and explore Ilsabard though, I am really excited at the prospect of a Sharlayan xpac. After all, even if we did go to Sharlayan, I don't think it could fill an entire xpac since the island they're on is so small. Of course, Garlemald/Ilsabard is still very much on the table. The trademarked title (if it is for FFXIV), is also giving me magical/mage vibes with the "to predict or forsee" and "to be bewitched" meanings. We may very well need Sharlayan's help to deal with Hydaelyn or whatever Zenos & Fandaniel are cooking up.Īnd now, after the first 5.4 LL, we know that we'll be meeting up with Matoya again, someone who also has very intimate ties to Sharlayan. Which just so happens to be where Hydaelyn is located. As we learned in Heavensward, Sharlayan has done extensive research on the Aetherial Sea. We're nearing the "final chapter of the tale of this star" aka the Zodiark/Hydaelyn arc. These ties were emphasized in the bit of the 5.3 MSQ where Tataru made Archon Loaf, a classic Sharlayan bread. We just spent an entire xpac forging stronger bonds with the Scions, who all have close ties to Sharlayan-G'raha Tia included. There's also the interesting parallels between the spiral symbol found at the end of Akaedemia Anyder and the spiral shell symbol that Sharlayan bears on its standards. There's the fact that Sharlayan sounds ALOT like a modern-day Amaurot, what with them being a city of mages & scholars, their form of government being a council of elected officials, and their tendency to be isolationist. There's just so much that's been hinting at it in ShB. Ooh, I'm becoming more and more convinced we're going to Sharlayan next xpac. ![]() She is using her time off from a show where she is the lead role, to fulfill a vision on a show that made the decision to let her go pursue bigger things. She has two young kids that she already has to spend a great deal of time away from. Most people will not accept it until it actually plays out on screen, but if Kevin was going to end up with someone other than Sophie, Alex Breckenridge would not have continued to sacrifice her time to continue in this role. Point is… she is not going anywhere and them bringing her in at the very end just lines up with what the vision has been in place all along. I have a feeling Sophie will show up at some point during the Kevin centric episode. Sophie is around in present day or in the 5 year flash forward (probably both). Honestly this is all adding up and the ending seems pretty clear. The seeds are there and waiting for pay off.Īt the end of the day: I hope the characters (all involved Kevin Sophie Madison etc) find their happiness. So in the theme of the realm of TV: I'm leaning to where I see the love and where I see the growth of two characters and I really believe that to be Kevin and Sophie. If Kevin was knocking on the door of my best friend who happened to be Sophie, would I say oh my God you have to get back together with him? No.īut, would I say that to Madison as her friend with a guy who couldn't even admit he loved her? Also no. It isn't about him making a cider brewing company and calling it "How Do You Like Them Apples?"ĭid they finish the movie yes? But, I think it's the ending waiting for them: Kevin is going to see about a girl. ![]() It isn't about him becoming an ice fisherman in Alaska. Well I think everyone is forgetting exactly what the ending of the movie really is. ![]() Many people's point on this forum (which may ultimately go on to prove true too) is they finally finished the movie and therefore they must be over too for good. I think one of the biggest misleads that's going to play out down the line is the very thing that people thing cemented their closure: Good Will Hunting. With that said, I do personally think there are a lot more signs leading to Sophie being Kevin's end game. Makes the ride more enjoyable in my opinion. Trying to piece together all of the pieces to make guesses to how it will all end. I really hope that the pay off of the show is rewarding for all in some way or the other and I cannot wait to see it all play out. especially today.Īdmittedly, I am a Kevin and Sophie fan and looking for open, friendly discussion and not a shipping war :) I know this topic has been there and done that. For example, terrible aliens descended to the surface of our planet, seeking to capture people into slavery. His adventures are shown not only in the animated series "Ben 10" - also this guy has become the central figure of numerous computer games in which he participates both in his human form and in the form of alien superheroes. Thus, Ben became the protector of our planet from all kinds of evil forces. With it, he can take the form of one of ten superheroes. Amazing Adventures in Ben 10 gamesīen Tennyson was an ordinary teenager until he discovered the alien device Omnitrix. ![]() Boys will be able to show courage and fighting qualities, and the girls will have a good time in the company of a pretty hero, picking out his outfit. ![]() Now he can not avoid meeting with the main villain - Vilgaks, and not stay away when our planet is in danger. One day, he was lucky during a walk to find a strange device, similar to a normal watch, but it turned out to be Omnitrix. Ben 10 games will help you to transform into one of the space super heroes, if you are of course interested to learn out the story of Ben Tennyson. In the role of a brave young boy, you have to defeat space pirates, malicious spores, formidable robots. Since all games are offered for free, you are not limited in plot, and when you deal with all the villains in one mission, start a new one. ![]() Online Ben 10 games will require from you a bravery and courage to confront those monsters who should be defeated when you play. ![]() But learning how to use even the Wizard properly takes time and effort. The program also includes a Wizard of sorts,which is meant to walk you through the steps for different kinds of scans. To make things easier, you can see the effect on the preview scan when you change settings and easily undo it if necessary. That's all it takes to get scans with better color fidelity.Īs useful as all of the SilverFast tools are, expect to invest a lot of time experimenting with each one to fully understand the effect it has on the scan. Put the target in the scanner, click on the color calibration tool, and wait a moment for it to scan and calibrate. The most notable addition in SilverFast is a color-calibration feature using a standard IT8 calibration target, which you'll have to buy separately. The second scan adds significant time for scanning each image, however, and it doesn't always give you better quality. This is not particularly useful for scanning photographic prints, but it can make a big difference with film, which has a much greater dynamic range. The result effectively increases the scanner's dynamic range (meaning how many shades of gray it can see), so the scan will show more detail based on shading. If you turn on the multi-exposure tool, SilverFast will take the scanner through two scans with different exposures and combine the results in one image. Among the additional features in SE Plus is an option for scanning Kodachrome slides, which tend to show a bluish tint in scans, and a multi-exposure option, which is potentially useful for scanning transparencies (i.e., slides, film strips, and negatives). The next step up is SilverFast SE Plus ($119, but $79 to upgrade from the standalone SE level and $99 to upgrade from the bundled SE version). ![]() Either format lets you post-process the image in LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast HDR, a companion program for SilverFast (which I did not look at as part of this review). The program can also save scans in LaserSoft Imaging's 48HDR format, which retains all the information in the standard scan with visible light, and 64-bit HDRI format, which adds the information from the IR scan. ![]() (Opens in a new window) Read Our Plustek OpticFilm 120 Review Even with this version, you get an impressive set of sophisticated tools, including controls for manual and automatic color correction, sharpening the image, and dust and scratch removal, complete with support for a hardware-based option using an infrared scan for models that offers it. The least expensive variation, with the fewest features, is SilverFast SE 8 ($49). That makes upgrading easy, since you only need to enter a new license key. All three also use the same program file for any one scanner, with the license key unlocking the appropriate features for the program level. All three of the SilverFast 8 variations come in different versions for different scanner models, so you have to get the right version for the scanner you have. LaserSoft Imaging sells an assortment of SilverFast versions, including some variations on its older version 6, and three levels of SilverFast 8, which is what I review here. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. What makes it worth paying for is that it delivers on its promise. What makes SilverFast worth considering is that it promises to give you better-quality scans from the same scanners. However, for both programs, the real competition is the proprietary scan utilities and drivers that manufacturers supply with their scanners for no extra cost. SilverFast's main competitor is the VueScan 9 Professional Edition, another utility with lots of sophisticated features and the ability to work with any number of scanners. SilverFast lets you wring the best possible photo scan quality out of whatever photo scanner you use it with. The good part is that it's among the best known, most widely used, and most capable programs in its category for a good reason: Once you learn how to use it, it will give you excellent results. The bad part is that although it's not hard to muddle through with SilverFast without knowing how to use it well, it's hard to master. I mean that in both a good and a bad way. In many ways, LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast Ai Studio 8 ($299 to $449, depending on the scanner model) is the Photoshop of scan utilities.
![]() An example of a 2-3 tower would be the Mortar Tower with Bigger Blast and Signal Flare. So, to represent a tower with 2 upgrades bought on the left path, and 3 upgrades on the right, the notation 2/3 or 2-3 would be used. Upgrades can be bought independently for both the left and right path, but upgrades for tier-3 and above can not be purchased for both paths. The upgrade notation here is Left Path-Right Path. In Bloons TD 5, each tower has 2 upgrade paths with 4 levels or "tiers" of upgrades that are bought one after the other. They represent the number of upgrade tiers purchased for each of the tower's 2 paths in BTD5 and 3 paths in BTD6. These numbers are the Crosspath Coordinates or Crosspath Notation of a tower's upgrades.
