These independent bones are found within the cranial sutures in some, not all, individuals. While we’re talking about the flat bones of the skull, it’s a good time to mention another minor category of bones, called sutural bones (or wormian bones). There are 36 flat bones in the adult skeleton, including some skull bones, as well as the sternum and ribs: For example, the scapula bone is a flat bone, but it contains a spine, acromion, and coracoid process that make it appear somewhat irregular. Some flat bones contain irregular structures. They contain a layer of spongy bone covered by a thin layer of compact bone. As the name suggests, they are mostly flat and curved, having a thin plate-like formation. The word sesamoid sounds kind of like sesame seed, and that’s because these seed-shaped bones get their name from a Greek word that means “resembling a sesame seed.” There are 4 sesamoid bones in the adult skeleton:Īdditional sesamoid bones can sometimes form on the tarsal, metatarsal, or incus bones, but this can vary per individual.įlat bones provide protection to vital organs.

Short bones have approximately the same length and width, which gives them a cube-like appearance. There are 90 long bones in the adult skeleton, consisting mostly of the bones of the upper and lower extremities, as well as the clavicle bones: These bones are going to have a shaft made primarily of compact bone, and two bulky ends, which often contain spongy bone. These bones can vary in length (short or long), but the key characteristic is that they are longer than they are wide.

Larger vessels in a fleet, convoy, or battle group and defend them against powerful short-range attackers.

Regarding pcgamer, that caught me by surprise and I don't have a website or any other way in which I benefit from this mod pack and I never had an intention to do so, I am not the creator of those mods and I don't have any right to take credit or have commercial gain from them. I wrote in my summary and every description for every version who created used mods and I added a link to the thread for every single mod with a clear note that all credit goes to creators of used mods. Many people don't know about the great community and moddb as a popular place for mods looked like a nice place to put this collection and show what ssorg created. I just had an idea to make an easy to use mod pack from vanilla like models and textures upgrade to mimic nightdives ss2 enhanced edition. Hi RoSoDude I am new to this whole modding thing and I didn't intend to make a mess. ![]() ![]() It’s bad and popular.” On the other hand, movie-freak writes “The film is unparalleled from start to finish and keeps you glued to your screen.” The Daily Beast complains “ T-34 isn’t just bad. Some refer to T-34 as Fast and Furious, I thought more Shootout at the OK Corral. Acted by Irina Starshenbaum, she is a Russian interpreter for the Nazis. Nickolay saves Anya’s life by agreeing to assist Jager. ![]() And, what movie would be complete without a love interest. All bad guys suffer from arrogance and his comes shining through, bad dubbing or not. Standartenfuhrer Klaus Jager is played by Vinzenz Kiefer, also seen in Jason Bourne. Because the dubbing is so bad, I offer no comment on his skills as an actor. Nickolay sees this as a chance to escape, but he is miles inside the German lines.Īlexander Petrov is our intrepid tank commander, Nickolay Ivuskin, recently seen in Anna. Jager demands that Nickolay use a damaged, unloaded T-34 to assist in a training exercise for his young Panzer officers. Three years later, the same two tank commanders meet again at a concentration camp. They successfully take out 7 tanks before capture. Untested tank commander, Nickolay, and crew receive orders to remain behind and cover the retreat. The Nazis are 35 kilometers from Moscow in 1941. Still, I give T-34 3.5 Gavels and it receives a 6.6/10 IMDb rating. The English is dubbed, but something must fail in the translation. You haven’t heard tank-talk this bad since the jingoistic American war movies of the 1940’s. While this is some of the best tank action you will see, it is some of the worst dialogue you will hear. You might ask why there is little dialogue in the trailer. ![]() Not yet convinced? Check out the movie trailer (above). The super slo-mo effects are something to behold. If you are in the mood for tank battles and tactics, you are in for a treat. Continuing with WWII, I bring you T-34 and the second-highest grossing Russian film of all-time.

To keep these events spread out, the pacing is dictated by collecting stars to unlock new seasons of races. Another mode, Knockdown, deemphasizes the race aspect and instead has you attempt to cause more crashes than your opponent. ![]() Infection became a quick favorite of mine – it gives all the “infected” racers unlimited boosts, but with the constant threat of burning out once the infection passes if you fail to add time by spreading it. A few modes do offer more inventive race types. Skill was no longer the deciding factor it all came down to purchasing better vehicles. Sure, it’s fun speeding down the streets of Barcelona in a faster car, but after a dozen or so times I knew the turns so well that I’d either win easily, or be hopelessly outmatched by better cars. The longevity is a double-edged sword to some extent, since the large number of events means each of those maps get repeated several times. Most of the races are standard multi-car or one-on-one matches. Asphalt is lengthy, offering eight seasons of increasing speed classes and 180 races in all, plus a full-fledged online mode with all the maps and race types available. ![]() The physics occasionally behave erratically, leading to a jump or spin not behaving like you’d expect and flubbing the trick. Taking to the air is often slower than sticking to the streets, so making split-second decisions about whether I could spare that time to make it up with the boost I’d earn helps add tension to races. Those three basic building blocks are all that’s needed to offer really precise handling across the nine well-differentiated environments, which run the gamut from a neon-soaked Tokyo rife with sharp turns to the ramp-laden streets of London.Asphalt 8’s addition to the series, the air stunts, are a nice twist that offer nitro boosts as rewards, which gives them a risk-reward dynamic. The silky smooth tilt controls for steering feel intuitive, and since the cars auto-accelerate, the two halves of the screen function as gigantic buttons to trigger brakes and nitro boosts. This is the eighth game in the series, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Gameloft has locked down the basic mechanics. ![]() |
