Halo 2 campaign1/20/2024 If there's one identifiable area where Bungie have really ramped up Halo 2 over the original it's here. As we've touched upon already, one of the first things you'll notice about Halo 2 is that much more effort has been put into the story side of the game, with around some truly lavish and hugely impressive cut scenes regularly interspersing the action to deliver one of the most rounded Sci-fi tales ever to feature in a videogame. And this isn't us cussing your favourite game - this is exactly what Bungie makes of the Halo series. ![]() A game that is, once again, "30 seconds of fun over and over" and a "game about guns where you don't have to think". ![]() Things are going to get heavy over the coming weeks. The same old arguments that have been trawled out over the last three years as to why people did or didn�t 'get' Halo are about to be revived, so get ready to don those flame retardant suits once more. In short, if you liked it then, you'll lap this up - but if the original left you cold, so will this. What it won't do, however, is do anything to convince the doubters that anything significant has happened over the intervening three years to make them any more interested in the Campaign side of the game than they were before. In calm, logical, rational hindsight, it's a high quality game that feels like a refinement of the original a crafted, well-thought out evolution of the series that will satisfy the millions of fans around the world that they've got their money's worth. Visually more impressive, a few more impressive set pieces than before, slightly less boring repetitive parts (although, yes, they're still there), a few minor gameplay tweaks (which we'll go into in a moment), quite easy most of the time (on Normal), a more expansive storyline but overall not something that will have you leaping out of your chair screaming as if you've just seen the very future of entertainment. As far as the offline, story-based Campaign mode is concerned (as we're not reviewing the multiplayer until later this week) it's a bombastic first person sci-fi shooter not hugely different to the original. Let's try and defuse the hype bomb for a moment and bring some sanity to the whole ludicrous Halo 2 expectations and simply talk about it as if it was just A.N Other game and stop pretending its launch is in some way akin to the second coming of Christ. It can't ever be as good as anyone wants it to be. But aside from all this, the expectations are simply too high. ![]() Some people will think it's the best thing ever, the 'too cool for school' crowd will scowl about it being 'just another shooter' in a determined effort to pretend they don't care, while millions rush out there and part with their cash regardless. The millions of pre-orders are proof of that, not to mention those that would happily spend hundreds of dollars on eBay just to play it a few days early. Regardless of what we or anyone else thinks about Bungie's long-awaited sequel, Microsoft's job is already done. Then, if things haven't quite worked out, there's this psychological crash as people pick over what went wrong people divide up into camps - the 'defend it to the hilt' faithful, the 'slag it off anyway' cynics, and the massive silent majority that go and buy it anyway, regardless of what anyone says. The cultural obsession with building things up disproportionately (while simultaneously taking our eye off the ball elsewhere) seems to snowball with every passing year - and yet almost every single time a movie/album/game lets us down we still get suckered into the same cycle of buying into the frenzied hype. Expectation is such a double edged sword.

Applying mac concealer1/20/2024 ![]() One essential tool in their arsenal is eyebrow concealer. ![]() Makeup artists are skilled professionals who understand the transformative potential of makeup. It also leaves you with some tips for achieving a look like you have great lighting following you around. This blog post will cover everything you need to know about the best concealers for eyebrows and placement around your brow bone and brow area in general. It will conceal fine hairs that have popped up and help brows look clean and shaped. Most people use concealer underneath their brows to help to shape their eyebrows as they wear other makeup on their faces and around their eyes. This means it is inevitable in your makeup routine. Foundation does an excellent job of making your skin tone even, but it doesn’t highlight as much as a concealer does. So, now we know about the best concealers for right under and over your brows to make them more prominent.Ĭoncealers don’t just cover dark circles and unwanted blemishes under the eyes, they also lift, shape, and improve the general look if applied right. In the past decade, a lot of attention has been brought to the eyebrows, and rightfully so. But, even if you like your eyebrows bushy, they can be clean too. In the 2000s we over plucked and now it’s trendy to have big, bushy eyebrows. The sleek packing also made it a winner in my book.Eyebrows are one of the most prominent yet commonly ignored parts of our body unless you’re Eugene Levy. In summary, I liked the Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer it blended beautifully and was thick enough to hide dark circles without creasing. My one concern was dropping my Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer. ![]() I have had other concealer’s where air clogs the tube blocking product and for one particular product, the tube used to burst at the other end so for me this packaging was a winner. It was sleek and smart and although the pump has taken awhile to get used to it has resulted in a non-messy application as I simply pump direct to the back of my hand or in a dish. A tall glass tube with a pump about the size of a lipstick, 9mls worth of product. The packaging of the Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer was a winner for me. When I used my index finger the product started to crease at the end of the day. ![]() I did find applying it with a #195 Mac Cosmetics Concealer brush was best as it ensured it was not too thick and applied an even coverage. In terms of wear it was long-lasting and although the primer helped prepare the skin it wasn’t needed to ensure longevity. I found that the two went well together blending with ease despite the colour difference I had selected. Just like its foundation the Mac Pro Longwear concealer is of medium consistency and is available in over fifteen colours. I also took a good look at the packaging and ease of use.Ĭurrently, I am using the MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear Foundation so it seemed to make sense to try the complimenting concealer. I applied on tired eyes after only six hours sleep and I worked up a sweat at the gym with Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer applied. I have tried it with and without primer around my eye area. The Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer is a fluid concealer that provides full matte coverage for up to 15 hours. This last week I have been putting the Mac Cosmetics Pro Longwear Concealer to the test.
