![]() The monochromatic look of the base model, combined with the Sport's engine and track width, would be a hot setup - too bad Suzuki doesn't see it that way. The Sport's two-tone paint and chrome-ringed grille make the Sidekick look like a little freckle-faced kid wearing an Armani suit. The Sport also gets unique paint colors from which to select.įrankly, we think that the base Sidekick is the best looking vehicle. Exclusive to the Sport is a 100-watt Alpine stereo system, cruise control (on the JLX only), security alarm system, power windows and locks, split-fold rear seat, remote fuel door release, cloth door trim, power remote mirrors, rear window wiper/washer and overhead map lights. ![]() Sixteen-inch tires and wheels, a shiny grille, and a two-tone paint scheme set the Sport model even further apart from garden-variety Sidekicks.įour-wheel anti-lock brakes are optional on Sidekick standard on Sidekick Sport. Hallmarks of the Sport include a larger, more powerful twin-cam engine good for 120 horsepower, and a track that has been increased by two inches for increased stability and response. New for 1996 is a Sport model, which is offered only with the four-door body style in JX, JS and JLX trim. However, after plenty of trips to the faraway campgrounds and other places, your SUV may begin to show signs of considerable wear. Convertible and four-door Hardtop models are available. The Suzuki Sidekick is suitable for use in a city, on countryside roads, and on natural terrain. The JS is a two-wheel drive runabout the JX a four-wheel drive mountain goat. ![]() Basic Sidekicks come with a frisky 16-valve, 95-horsepower engine in JS or JX trim. The Sidekick is available in two body styles and two series totaling three trim levels. Suzuki aims the Sidekick squarely at teens and twenty-somethings, but older adventurers are likely to find it irresistible, too. Toyota introduced the RAV4 to do battle with the Sidekick, and Honda is rushing to bring their CRV over from Japan to do the same. The Geo Tracker that's sold by Chevrolet dealers is basically identical, and the Kia Sportage is a new competitor. Neither a true truck nor a car, this mini SUV has created a niche that other manufacturers are rushing to capitalize on. Even folks who find it easy to fault small sport-utes run the risk of falling for a Sidekick-especially the convertible model.

The former is pretty much essential for the last part of the game which sucks. Samus is super floaty which makes timing the Screw Attack and Wall Jump mechanics really tedious. Are you telling me Samus doesn't carry around a PDA where she can take notes of where she has been? I'm not asking for a navigation arrow a la Oblivion, but an actual usable map legend with descriptors would be nice. The older I get, the less patience I have for these type of games that hide the path forward behind obtuse design. Oh and before anyone says it, yes I get the whole point of "being lost" with no sense of a direction after arriving on an alien planet. This is really frustrating if you want to reference something. ![]() Only one area map can be seen at a time, that is, the current area you are in. Blue paths, which only shows up when you find a Map Station, just mean you haven't been to an area. Pink means you have been there, but that doesn't mean you have found an item you need or that the area is fully explored. The highlighted map colours are pretty much useless. Could the map legend be any worse? I mean can you even call it that? It marks save points and things like energy chargers with an icon, but otherwise there are no descriptions. I must have went back and fourth multiple times until I discovered it.Īs for the map, it's just awful. Finally, there is one area in the game where the only exit pathway CANNOT be seen with the X-ray Scope. So in every new area, you basically stop, scan, move a bit, scan, to make sure you didn't miss anything. On top of that, you have to cycle through your weapons to select the scope. The scan speed is slow, FOV is narrow, and you can only scan while standing still. You would think this would speed things up, but it's almost as bad as rolling around dropping bombs. Later in the game you find the X-Ray Scope, will allows you to scan walls and helps with finding the way forward. ![]() I was literally rolling around every part of the map, dropping bombs, hoping a block would explode, revealing a new path forward. Turns out I had to "find" a secret entrance to the next area, either by blowing up destructible blocks with morph ball bombs or shooting them. An example in this case was Norfair, where I got completely lost and tried to return to Brinstar, which was not possible. Many times I would run into a dead end and think: "Am I missing an upgrade, is that why I can't go this way? OK." So I would try and backtrack to a previous area only to realize that was not an option. I can appreciate the large, interconnected world, especially from a game of this era, but navigating it was a slog. My first complaint has to do with the level and map design. The game certainly wasn't unplayable, but based on the reviews and constant praise it gets, I expected to be blown away.

![]() In one such study, the probability of a space is 0.1741, the probability of an ‘e’ is 0.0976, the probability of a ‘t’ is 0.0701, and so on. Many experiments by cryptographers and data compression researchers have shown that the frequency of individual letters is remarkably constant among different pieces of English writing. Obviously this isn’t a great model of English, since letters in English writing aren’t independent, but this is a good starting point to think about the information content of English. ![]() One way we can view English language writing is as a sequence of individual letters, selected independently. This can have serious consequences for security, which we’ll see below. In other words, using a biased random number generator reduces the entropy of the source from 128 bits to around 60 bits. We’re not saying that data is really just randomly chosen, but this is a good model that has proved its usefulness over time.ĭefinition: A source is an ordered pair \(\right) How are messages selected? We take the source to be probabilistic. For now we focus just on how messages are selected, not how they are encoded. The question of encoding is very involved, and we can encode for the most compact representation (data compression), for the most reliable transmission (error detection/correction coding), to make the information unintelligible to an eavesdropper (encryption), or perhaps with other goals in mind. We consider an information source as having access to a set of possible messages, from which it selects a message, encodes it somehow, and transmits it across a communication channel. To talk precisely about the information content in messages, we first need a mathematical model that describes how information is transmitted. In honor of his work, this use of “entropy” is sometimes called “Shannon entropy.” Entropy - Basic Model and Some Intuition The fundamental question of how information is represented is a common and deep thread connecting issues of communication, data compression, and cryptography, and information theory is a key component of all three of these areas. Information theory grew out of the initial work of Claude Shannon at Bell Labs in the 1940’s, where he also did some significant work on the science of cryptography. In settings that deal with computer and communication systems, entropy refers to its meaning in the field of information theory, where entropy has a very precise mathematical definition measuring randomness and uncertainty. In general English usage, entropy is used as a less precise term but still refers to disorder or randomness. For example, in physics the term is a measure of a system’s thermal energy, which is related to the level of random motion of molecules and hence is a measure of disorder. The word entropy is used in several different ways in English, but it always refers to some notion of randomness, disorder, or uncertainty.

What surpasses me the most about this, is that this is what I lived for and sacrificed so much to gain… to have the gathering and wanting of others that are popular, it's everything I ever wanted. For some reason… I wanted to forget about all the heated hookups and the many bodies that were around me. Funny I wanted to forget about all the sound, the tacky lights, and smalls of my friends and their mindless hilarity that they're tittering about. I squeezed my eyes closed tightly and promised myself that I’ll never forget the moment I just had with him. Enjoying the freezing air and the sensation of a hundred of little sparkly flacks.

She has since apologised on social media and on the show itself. Scarlet Adams is a Perth-based queen and a front-runner on the show, who has a documented history of past performances in blackface, brownface and yellowface. And that's where it gets tricky, because many audience members – and many in the drag scene – feel who was hand-picked represents questionable casting. One big difference between the US and Antipodean versions is that the Down Under cast didn't have to send in video auditions. Growing attention is being paid to the significant financial burdens queens undertake – anywhere between $4,000 to $20,000 USD – to compete on the show (and lord help you if you are wearing an off-the-rack garment). "Well that would be a good point … if it was true," Richards says, laughing.įor starters, the show requires queens to fund their own looks - making it an uneven playing field already. Isn't it a meritocracy, though? RuPaul's always saying, "May the best drag queen win". "It's a shame Drag Race Down Under isn't representing Australia's diversity," Bankstown says. Over half of its US main season winners have been queens of colour. Keep in mind this is a show that is usually and consistently praised for inclusive casting. The cast just isn't really as colourful as I thought it could've been." Having one First Nations Australian queen was a bit tokenistic. As she points out, "There are no Māori queens there – and this is shot in New Zealand. Tyra Bankstown is a 34-year-old Sydney-based Mangarai First Nations queen who has done drag for 10 years and worked full-time in the scene for five years. "There are so many queer performers of colour throughout Sydney : Tyra Bankstown and Felicia Foxx are two obvious examples for anybody who has the slightest idea of drag in Sydney." ![]() "It felt a little disappointing that it was mostly East Coast-based, and just so damn white," Richards says. Of the ten competing queens, there is only one Aboriginal and one Polynesian queen. So what's people's problem with the Down Under version?įor a country where roughly one in three people aren't Anglo, half are first- or second-generation migrants and one in five speak non-English languages at home – and with one of the most multicultural drag scenes – some felt the casting was … qwhite odd. "Which is a fast turnaround for Drag Race – and for most reality shows," Richards says. The show was filmed in January in Auckland in the midst of COVID-19 restrictions. Jared Richards – who recaps Drag Race for Junkee – says, "I went into it optimistic, but expected it to be a bit messy – just by nature of how quickly they created it." How did locals feel about the announcement of the Australian version? If you've never seen an episode, here's what you need to know. The Down Under version is judged by the world's most famous drag queen, RuPaul, alongside Drag Race veteran Michelle Visage and Australian comedian Rhys Nicholson. |
