Beyond the dark portal Book 11

Two years following the defeat of the Horde and destruction of the Dark Portal from Draenor to Azeroth, a small dimensional rift remains linking the two worlds. 

The orc shaman Ner'Zhul is approached by orc champions resurrected as undead death-knights, with a plan to re-open the Portal and catch the Alliance unaware. 

Using the skull of the traitorous Gul'Dan, the remaining Horde forces distract the Alliance while stealing powerful artifacts to return to Draenor and open new rifts to other worlds. 

The paladin Turalyon joins forces with the elven ranger Alleria, the powerful mage Khadgar, and the dwarven griffon-rider Kurdran to head off the diabolical plans, but their mission is further complicated by the deadly Black Dragonflight's collusion with the Horde.

USB 1.x



USB 1.0 and 1.1
Hello fellow of Cyberspace, today I want to talk about USB 1.x let is start

Well for this we going to make a trip in time, to the last millennium and century to be precise the decade of 90. It is invented a new term USB, abbreviation of Universal Serial Bus, is one of the many initiatives of the time to standardize the ports that interact between computers and a whole range of peripherals and electronic devices. For example keyboards, digital cameras, printers, and a large etc. USB has supplanted a wide range of previous interfaces, such as serial ports and parallel ports, as well as separate power chargers for portable devices.
After this introduction we will see the specifications

Previous versions have been on the market sins 1990, but the change was not introduce until 1996 and was a USB 1.0 had a data rate of 1.5 Mbit / s and had two types of terminal that was A that is the famous rectangle and the B some kind of square. Due to its low speed it did not allow extensions or other modifications very few
However, in 1998 came the USB 1.1 that introduced the speed of 12 Mbit / s now this one was very well received, we can see the change in the printers or also the appearance of Legacy-free PC of Microsoft
Even though this may seem strange to us, but not many attempts were made to make smaller connectors there were a couple of attempts with type B but it was not specific and gave connection problems.

Around the World in Eighty Days- Jules Verne

Original title: Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours

The journey begins when at the Reform Club, Phileas Fogg, in one of the many evenings and nights, that he spend in the club, makes a start to friends of the club, he could, traveling around the world in eighty days. And you had to employ all the means for transport of the time: << vapors boats, rail cars, yachts, merchant ships, shots, elephants >>. And it costs more than nineteen thousand pounds; "Most of his fortune." But the bet cost twenty thousand pounds of benefit to him. His friends attended the bet, but not before hesitating a moment in achieving this adventure, and I should jump from a railroad and steam to a steam railway in the least possible time and the itinerary would be as follows:
Days
From London to Suez, by Mount Cenis and Brindisi, Steam Railway and 7
Suez to Bombay, Steamers 13
From Bombay to Calcutta, Railway 3
Calcutta to Hong Kong (China), 13
Hong Kong (China) to Yokohama (Japan), Vapor 6
San Francisco, New York, Railway-Highway 9
80 Days Total

The eccentric Phileas Fogg, had deployed in this business their wonderful qualities of serenity, accuracy and others who are discovered while reading.

The story takes very little time trial narrative adventure in which you have to negotiate all kinds of climatic adversity, as in the same way that all impediments made available to the "Fix Police" and the fate against "Phileas Fogg," and your traveling companions.

But at the end of your trip, once you've lost everything, we can ask ourselves; What had earned that trip, and the trip cost him the benefits of the bet? Or rather What had brought from his trip worthwhile?

Nothing will be said. Nothing, unless a beautiful woman named Aouda, that made him the happiest of men, after marry him. Which he rescued from a human sacrifice in India risking his own life.

And truly, I wonder, who of us will not go around the world many times, just to meet that amazing woman?

MDK

In a memorable year for the world of video games, 1997 gave us a brilliant gem: MDK. Developed by Shiny Entertainment, this game was acclaimed not only for its innovative gameplay and advanced graphics for the time, but also for its ability to transport us to a universe filled with dark humor and technical challenges that still resonate in the hearts of nostalgic gamers.



The story introduces us to Kurt Hectic, a simple janitor on a space station, who finds himself embroiled in an apocalyptic mission: to save Earth from an alien invasion that uses gigantic "Minecrawlers" to plunder its resources and exterminate its population. The premise is as bleak as the humor that permeates it, offering a contrast between the gravity of the situation and the absurd reactions of the characters.


The game stands out for its immersive third-person action experience, with moments that allow us to appreciate the world from a first-person perspective thanks to its famous "sniper mode," boasting an incredible zoom of up to 100x. This duality of perspectives was not only novel for the time but also exciting and challenging, allowing us to feel like true cosmic snipers.


Kurt is equipped with special armor that includes an infinitely fed machine gun powered by his inventive supply chain, along with a ribbon-like parachute to glide silently through the hostile skies. The weapons are almost characters in themselves, with capabilities that border on the impossible: imagine being able to extract an alien's eye from a distance of eight kilometers or tattoo your name on its skull.


The game's atmosphere is as surreal as it is dazzling. The graphics, considered advanced for a Pentium PC of that era, manage to create a visually stunning and fluid world that still feels unique today. The technical prowess behind MDK not only set a new standard in terms of hardware requirements but also for its ability to completely immerse the player in an unprecedented 3D experience.


And, as if the game's design weren't enough to captivate us, the narrative leads us to confront absurd situations with a biting humor that defines Shiny Entertainment's distinctive style. Every dialogue and scene is imbued with an irony that reflects both the chaos of the universe and humanity's resilience in finding humor amidst the apocalypse.


In short, MDK is a masterpiece that fuses fast-paced action with intelligent humor and a visually captivating aesthetic. It's a title that deserves to be revisited and celebrated for its timeless originality, narrative ingenuity, and its legacy as one of the most underrated games in video game history. In the vast ocean of games released since 1997, MDK continues to shine with its own unique, inimitable, and inspiring light.


So, if you've ever wondered why a simple janitor becomes the savior of the planet, get ready to dive into Kurt Hectic's story and find out for yourself. Because MDK isn't just a game; it's a groundbreaking experience that redefines digital entertainment as we know it.
