![]() On the other, anything tied to a big franchise. On one side, you have comprehensive catalogs, typically broken down by console or publisher. Fortunately, you can turn off the music by pressing Option 2 before starting the game.We’re spoiled for great retro game books these days, yet those often fall into two groups. The background music is reminescent of the arcade tunes - a low rythmic drum beat during gameplay and a musical interlude between levels - but suffers from either being too low-volumed or too high-pitched. The game effects are appropriate and adequate, though the bells that signal the presence/taking of artifacts can get irritating. While it's not Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion, it is sufficently well done. The landscape is done in two-level multilayered scrolling, with nice details and some background animation. Both Rygar and the demons are clearly distinctive, detailed, and animated identically to the arcade. The graphics on Rygar are identical to the arcade version. When you die, there is no "continue" feature, and no "skip levels" feature, so this is largely an endurance contest. You start off with three lives, and get extra Rygars at certain point intervals (the first three are at 50,000, 100,000, and 175,000 points). The game is mostly patternized, with a few random elements in terms of what artifacts appear. On the plus side, the controls are easy to use, and the game difficulty is not set too high. There are other minor differences as well, but this is an adequate adaptation for the most part. For instance, you can't throw your shield in a protective arc, and throwing the shield upwards is possible only if you have a "star" artifact. Veterans of the original will notice a few differences in the gameplay. Okay, how's it play? As an arcade adaptation, Rygar is almost - but not completely - identical to the arcade version. Clear all the levels, and you will return peace to the land. You face opponents such as headless zombies, flying griffons, and giant rolling worms across 23 levels. Touching a non-stunned creature, or falling off the path, spells instant death for Rygar. You must be careful in your travels, however. The artifacts you find along the way will either give you additional points or extra fighting powers. ![]() If there are too many creatures to be destroyed, you can stun them for a few seconds by jumping on them. Your weapon is your armored shield, which, when thrown at the monsters, returns to your hand. ![]() You run from left to right across a scrolling screen, fighting monsters and grabbing artifacts along the way. Rygar for the Lynx is an adaptation of the Tecmo arcade game, where you play the barbarian hero out to battle monsters and beasts across the land. ![]() Okay, so the storyline is nothing original. You are Rygar the Reclaimer, born of the mystic birthmark, who has the power and the skill to weild the warrior's shield, destroy the demons, and bring our people home. Now, however, the predictions of the ancient sages has come true. It has been over 10,000 years since the demonic hordes of the underworld drove our people away from the fertle farmlands and forced us into hiding on the desolate slopes.

![]() You do it again, I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron") even, yes, the absurdity of watching a dreadlocked Spade cruise around to "Funk #49."įor all its inarguable shortcomings, however, Joe Dirt's baseline geniality often rises above the sophomoric dialogue and literal toilet humor. The few pleasures of Joe Dirt are admittedly minor: Spade's wiseass line delivery ("Luckily, my neck broke my fall," " Van Halen, not Van Hagar"), the sketch-like breeziness of the cameos the mere presence of Walken ("You're talkin' to my guy all wrong it's the wrong tone. Not that anyone is expecting Charlie Kaufman-level plot development here. His parents turn out to be money-hungry opportunists, but he manages to reconnect with Brandy and all the film's minor side characters (including Walken's Clem/Gert) in a corny, conveniently tidied-up finale. That unexpected fame eventually brings Dirt the family he craves, just not in the way he expects. He does, particularly as radio listeners become invested in Joe Dirt's quest: At one point, he even winds up as a guest on Carson Daly's Total Request Live - a seal of celebrity during the teen-pop era. Watch the 'Soldering Iron' Scene From 'Joe Dirt' … Also the people in the South who've seen it like it because I turn out to be kind of the hero of the movie." I was part of that whole thing, so I'm actually closer to this guy than I'd like to be. "I had my sleeves ripped off, and I read Auto-Trader," he later told the Today Show. While the film leans on offensive "white trash" stereotypes, much of its aesthetic was apparently autobiographical for Spade, drawing on his childhood in Arizona. 38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Doobie Brothers, James Gang and Thin Lizzy, among others. As the narration unfolds, he starts with his childhood: being left behind by his family during a trip to the Grand Canyon, roaming around the country and arriving at the fictional "Silvertown," where he meets his romantic interest, Brandy (Brittany Daniel), and arrogant antagonist Robby (Kid Rock, then in his multi-platinum rap-rock/country prime).īut the protagonist's flashback story - dubbed by Zander "The Legend of Dirty Joe" - later pivots to his parental search, sprinkling sentimentality between the crass comic detours (including cringe-worthy scenes involving frozen dog testicles and an RV septic tank mistaken for an atom bomb) and sequences seemingly built around classic rock staples from Blue Oyster Cult. Watch the 'Favorite Bands' Scene From 'Joe Dirt'įrom there, Dirt begins a rambling, multi-part tale that gradually captivates the entire country. ("Go get ' Free Bird' boy an all-access laminate for the show in perpetuity," he tells his crew, before turning to Dirt. A producer, perplexed by his anachronistic hair style, ropes him into an impromptu guest spot with shock jock Zander Kelly (Dennis Miller), who mercilessly belittles Dirt live on the air. The story opens with Dirt (Spade) working as a janitor at a Los Angeles radio station. While Spade and Wolf collaborated on the Joe Dirt screenplay, direction was handled by Dennie Gordon, who previously worked on TV shows like Party of Five, Dawson's Creek and Ally McBeal - a far cry, stylistically, from the film's maxed-out wackiness. ![]() He also had a working relationship with former SNL head writer Fred Wolf, who helped create 1995's Tommy Boy and 1996's Black Sheep, a pair of spastic film comedies co-starring Spade and Chris Farley. But Spade, only five years removed from his SNL tenure and then co-starring on the acclaimed sitcom Just Shoot Me!, still carried a modest amount of cachet as the film opened on April 11, 2001. ![]() If you are a Qualtrics user and have downloaded your "raw" survey data in SPSS format, using syntax to modify variable labels or compute new variables means that you don't have to worry if you lose the SPSS data file you've been working in you can just re-download the raw data from Qualtrics and rerun your syntax to get your data back. Syntax can easily be modified and re-used on future projects, saving you time and effort in the long run. It's also far easier to find and correct mistakes in your analysis if you have the syntax, as opposed to if you had used the menus. It is far easier to "retrace your steps" with syntax if you need to recall the modifications you've made to your dataset. The biggest benefits of using SPSS syntax are reproducibility and communication. Now when SPSS runs the descriptives command, it shows the range, mean, and standard deviation for the variables English and Writing.Īfter the previous example, it may seem like the menus are easier to use than syntax. I can easily modify the syntax I already have to accommodate these changes: For example, perhaps I decide that I want to look at some different variables, English and Writing, and I would like to get the range statistic instead of the minimum and maximum. Once you have syntax in the Syntax Editor window, you are free to modify the syntax and/or save it. To copy syntax from the output (in the Output Viewer window), simply click the syntax, copy it, and paste it into a Syntax Editor window. Note: You can copy the syntax from an output window and paste it into a new Syntax Editor window to re-use, modify, and save the syntax. Voila! We have produced the very same output using both drop-down menus and syntax. When you are finished typing the syntax, you need to tell SPSS to run the command by clicking the green arrow at the top of the window. These stylistic formats simply define different parts of the syntax command. Notice that that the text in the syntax editor appears in certain colors, and some words become bold. (Alternatively, you can create a new syntax file by clicking File > New > Syntax, and typing or copy/pasting the following syntax into that window.) This should open a new Syntax Editor file with the descriptives syntax in it. All of your previous settings should still be active. Let’s now use syntax to run the same Descriptives procedure as before. Getting Descriptive Statistics Using Syntax You can view the content of an SPSS syntax file (*.sps) using a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++, even on computers that do not have SPSS installed. You can do this from any open window (including the Data View or Output View). To open a syntax file on your computer, click File > Open > Syntax. To save your syntax file, make sure that you have the Syntax Editor window open and active, then click File > Save or File > Save As to save the syntax file. You can save your SPSS syntax as an *.sps file so that you can re-use it later. To execute (or run) the commands, highlight the lines you want to run, then click Run > Selection, or press Ctrl + R on your keyboard. After clicking the Paste button, the new syntax will automatically be added to your open Syntax Editor window. Alternatively, you can generate syntax while using the graphical user interface: almost all SPSS procedures accessed through the dropdown menus can generate syntax by clicking the Paste button instead of clicking OK/Run. To open a new Syntax Editor window, click File > New > Syntax.Īfter you've opened a Syntax Editor window, you can start writing your syntax directly in this window. Statements associated with the given procedure SPSS Syntax Color Coding Dark blue/purple ![]() Color-Codingīy default, SPSS uses color and bolding to indicate the roles of the words in the syntax. Typically, comments in SPSS syntax are color-coded with the color gray. Hitting the Enter key will create a new, un-commented line. In SPSS syntax, placing an asterisk ( *) or a forward-slash followed by an asterisk ( /*) at the start of a line will turn all text on that line into a comment. Your comments should be clear enough that a reader completely unfamiliar with your work can understand what your program is doing. In general, it is good practice to use brief but descriptive comments in your code. ![]() Comments help the reader understand what the program is doing. Comments do not affect how the program functions they exist purely for the humans reading and writing the program. You can use all lower case, all upper case, or a mixture of both when writing syntax.Ī comment is a line of text in a program that is not read by the computer as a command. ![]() Use this option when you must completely rebuild the BCD store.
