![]() I would take less, yeah,” Walker said when asked if he’d take less than the supermax to help the Hornets build around him. Other NBA teams can only offer a four-year deal worth $140 million when free agency begins June 30. He told reporters at the camp, which was held at Ardrey Kell High School in south Charlotte, that his willingness to do so was to help the Hornets build a better team around him going forward.īecause Walker was named to an All-NBA team this season, the Hornets can offer him a five-year “supermax” contract worth up to $221 million – significantly more than the five-year, $190 million deal had he not been named All-NBA. Boston is such a historic place.Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker has less than two weeks to go until he officially enters unrestricted free agency.Īt his basketball camp in Charlotte today, the Hornets star said he’d be open to taking less than the supermax this summer. "Obviously Kyrie left, so it was an open point guard spot. "Point guards can have great success under coach," Walker said. The deciding factor for Walker, though, was the opportunity that the Celtics presented. Had Walker committed to five full years in Charlotte, his chances at landing another big contract at 34 were fairly slim. Teams typically aren't enthusiastic about paying small guards at that age, but only a year ago, Chris Paul secured a four-year, $160 million deal from the Houston Rockets at the age of 33. That could get him to free agency again at the age of 32. Given the realistic restraints of existing in Charlotte, the Hornets simply couldn't justify making Walker an offer commensurate with his ability.Īlso worth noting: Walker has a player option for the 2022-23 season. ![]() They could have ducked under it after the fact, but doing so may have cost precious draft capital. Paying the tax would have been disastrous for them. The Hornets are one of the lowest-revenue teams in basketball, and more importantly, they haven't made the playoffs in three seasons. Signing Walker to the contract offered to him would have meant paying the tax for the first time under Michael Jordan's leadership. The luxury tax line was set at $132,627,000. Charlotte entered free agency with around $102 million in committed salary factoring in their draft picks. While the Hornets had the ability to offer more than any other team, their books were not clean enough to do so without consequence. That deal would have paid him quite a bit less on average ($32 million per year) than a max offer from another team ($142 million over four years, so $35.5 million per year). It was for less than $160 million over five years, according to Charania. Their final offer came in far lower than that. Still, if the Hornets had come close and offered a deal in the neighborhood of a traditional five-year max of $190 million, Walker was prepared to stay. ![]() I had a feeling that I wasn't going to get the offer that I wanted, and maybe not close to it, because of cap space." I couldn't see myself just being on another team. "Tough days, f-g tough days, I can't even lie," Walker told The Athletic. But due to the constraints Charlotte was operating under, Walker sensed that he wouldn't receive such an offer. Walker was eligible for a five-year deal starting at 35 percent of the salary cap, which would have totaled $221 million. As Shams Charania of the Athletic revealed on Wednesday, the Hornets just didn't make a compelling enough offer for him to stay. Walker made it clear that would have been his preference, telling Jared Weiss of the Athletic in early June that re-signing with the Hornets was his "first priority." Yet when free agency came, Walker traded in his teal uniform for green and signed with the Boston Celtics. When Kemba Walker earned third-team All-NBA honors and the accompanying supermax eligibility, the widespread belief around the league was that he would eventually come to terms with his Charlotte Hornets on a new long-term deal.

The only reason not to play the game on PC is if you've already exhausted all of the game's content, including DLC, through 100% completion. With that, it's a night and day difference in terms of visuals and graphics. Even if you've already played the game on either console, the PC-remastered version has significantly more content to offer. Which, right away we'll say is easily worth it on PC over the PS4 and PS5 versions. With all the details out of the way, it's time to find out if Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is worth it. But what's going to make this game the most beautiful of all, is the ray-traced reflections. The game will also feature ultra-wide monitor support, going all the way up to 48:9 resolutions. The first is the fact that you can capitalize on 4K native resolution and an uncapped frame rate. Graphically, PC players are getting a lot of features that will make Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PC a much more immersive and visually appealing game. That is if your PC is powerful enough to produce this optimization. ![]() The city has also been visually improved to support PCs' ability to generate high-end graphics. As we previously mentioned, the PC remastered version will have new areas and locations of New York to discover. Improving any holes in the story, and further developing it.Īlong with new re-imagined content for Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, it's also getting an overhaul on the maps and graphics. Both stories are still the same in essence, but Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PC will be more thought-out and detailed. That amounts to roughly 10 hours of additional story content, DLC included, on PC over either base console version. This amounts to an additional six to eight hours of story/campaign content that follows up the game's main story. That's not counting the City That Never Sleeps DLC, which is included as part of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on PC. The three additional hours for the PC remastered version are coming from the new content that's being added to the game's story. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered for PC, on the other hand, has 20 hours of story/campaign content. Both base games for either console do not include the City that Never Sleeps DLC, which can be purchased separately or in different editions such as the Collectors or Game of the Year Edition. And a total of approximately 30 hours with all of the side missions and objectives kicking around in the open-world. In its entirety, Marvel's Spider-Man offers approximately 17 hours of story/campaign content. However, this is being reworked as well, with new missions and challenges to discover.īoth game's Story and Campaigns are not based on Spider-Man's Origin story but instead step into Spider-Man, after eight years of experience behind the mask. This is included with the base game and follows the events of the main story over three chapters. There are new focus points, side quests, locations, and objectives to discover, making it a unique experience on PC and distinct one from Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 and PS5.Ĭoming with the PC remastered version is The City That Never Sleeps DLC for the original PS4 game. The game's open-world and linear campaign remain, but it has been re-imagined, with a lot of new content added to the world. Not to get confused with the 2020 remastering for PS5, the Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered we're talking about is the PC remastered release. If you're still undecided, this Vs article will explain how the two games differ and compare to help you decide. That's why, even if you've already played Marvel's Spider-Man on PlayStation, there's still reason to play the newly imaged game on PC. However, it is much more than just an improved version in fact, there is a lot of new content that makes this game almost a new brand new inclusion. Allowing players to enjoy it with ray-tracing and uncapped FPS. The remastered version, which is set to be released on August 12th, 2022, will bring the game to PC for the first time. However, that all changed when Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered for PC was announced at the Summer Games Fest. While the game met and exceeded fans' expectations, it was a PlayStation exclusive, which prevented many eager players from diving into the game. Developing a fully realized AAA title based on the superhero was bound to happen sooner or later, and we finally got it with Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018. There was a lot of excitement when Insomniac Games announced they were working on a new and original Spider-Man game. This can be very frustrating for the player as on a number of occasions during the review, despite us performing the correct pose or shake as displayed on screen the game refused to acknowledged the input. ![]() Not least because the maracas themselves are not the most responsive controller which makes perfecting the hard difficulty almost impossible. While the easy difficulty doesn’t take long to master for each song, clearing hard on the other hand takes some serious practice. Getting your song rank up to A, turns the stage background into a psychedelic rainbow effect However, miss too many shakes, poses and hustles, then it’s game over for you. Successfully timing your maraca shakes and poses is key to increasing your in-game rank from E up to A. Generally this falls down to shaking the maracas at three different heights, high, medium and low. Samba De Amigo is a rhythm based music game, which is played with a set of maracas where players have to shake & pose the maracas to match the on screen display. That said, there is very little information on the arcade release available on the internet and if it wasn’t for a feature by a fellow blogger on Hardcore Gaming 101 even Randomised Gaming was struggling to prove it did exist. Samba De Amigo Ver.2000 received a release both on the Dreamcast and in the Arcades. Ver.2000 features a number of additional songs, new game modes and a new character in the form of Amiga, whom is Amigo’s younger sister. However, at the time of the Dreamcast’s cancellation Sega of America were looking to release this edition in the US before cancelling it. ![]() Samba De Amigo Ver.2000 is a follow-up/expansion release to Samba De Amigo on the Sega Dreamcast, Ver.2000 was exclusively released in Japan. ![]() The Japanese release of Samba De Amigo Ver.2000 was played on a PAL Dreamcast using an Xploder disc to get the game to run.

GUYS – There are Disney Characters on the island in THEIR BEACH CLOTHES. That’s reason enough to stock up and try to sell it all for jacked up prices on Ebay later (kiddddddding guys – kind of at least). The island is larger – much larger than you think it is, and while it’s technically walkable, that’s also exercise.Ĭastaway Cay merch can ONLY be bought on Castaway Cay – you can’t get it on your ship, just on the island. ![]() There’s a tram that will take you all over the island, which is WAY better than exercising. You can technically rent a bike and take it all around the island, but we don’t recommend that – because you’re on vacation, and why would you want to exercise on vacation? That’s like dieting on vacation. ![]() They’re all perfect, beautiful, netted to keep scary sea creatures out (so that you won’t be humming the theme song of Jaws), and complete with hammocks and beach chairs. There’s a teen beach, a family beach, a tiny private beach near the Cabanas, and an adults only beach named ‘Serenity Bay’. Also, no matter what your age, make sure you take a ride on the waterslides at Pelican Plunge, the at sea miniature waterpark Disney created for the island. If you’re going to spend money on anything, rent some snorkel gear, or some floats, and take them out to the protected bays. Castaway is perfect, and it’s perfect without swimming with stingrays, parasailing, or jet skiing. ![]() There’s lots of Port Adventures that you can book on Castaway, but seriously, take our advice and don’t waste your money while on the island. My favorite drink to have at Castaway, is a coconut mojito, which we found to be made really well, and not too sweet by the bartenders on the island. The signature drink of Castaway is a Konk Kooler, which is very similar to a Pina Colada – we got them in souvenir cups, because we’re basic. Alcohol is not included (this isn’t a perfect world), but should be purchased. There are several places to get soft serve ice-cream on the island, and you should take advantage of each and every one of them. Cookies and Cookies Too are basically identical, and has ribs, burgers, and fish. Serenity Bay BBQ is only for adults (18 and up), and is located at the adults only beach) and has the best food, with the most options. Cookies BBQ, Cookies Too BBQ, and Serenity Bay BBQ. There’s three different places to eat on Castaway. And by free, we mean you paid for it as part of your cruise fare. We contemplated trying to hide from Disney security, and stay on the island forever, but instead, we came home so we could write a guide for you. MOTHER NATURE – YOU’RE NOT GOING TO STOP US FROM SEEING CASTAWAY! We had two perfect days at Castaway Cay, that we spent hanging out with each other, and our friends DVC Resale, and Small World Vacations. So on this cruise, we decided to do a two day stop in Castaway, and shake our fists at the weather. I was pathetically upset (like crying in the lobby upset). Alas, the fates were against us, and the day that we were supposed to dock at Castaway, a storm rolled in, and we couldn’t land. Three years ago, David and I took our first Disney Cruise, because we were dying to check out Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. There are a total of thirty nine performers in this production and in true MMY style, everyone had a chance in the spotlight. I loved the fact that Harriette looked permanently worried – as Mrs Banks does - and Chris was a wonderful ‘emotionally unavailable’ father before throwing caution (and a kite) to the wind in the closing scene. I enjoyed the portrayal of Mr and Mrs Banks by Chris Bache and Harriette Robinson. Likewise, Jasmine Kennedy as Jane Banks did an excellent job and she and Seb were an endearing little double act with no precociousness in sight whatsoever. He was very cheeky, full of character and delivered some excellent lines: a classic being “she may be tricky but she’s bloody good!” (there was no warning of such profanity!!) Given his tender age, I imagine this is Seb’s first major appearance in a show and he should be very proud of himself. Seb Downing as Michael Banks was cuteness on a stick. If you’ve never seen a chimney sweep do a balletic high kick, now’s your chance! Wonderful improvisation.īert the chimney sweep was played by Reuben Williamson who was full of confidence and chirpy cockney charm and who is also an excellent dancer. At one point, Seb was struggling with his pyjama top and everyone in the audience was willing him to get his arm in the sleeve: Kathryn spotted this and made helping him put it on a part of the show, as if nothing was amiss. It was clear that she has an excellent relationship with Jasmine Kennedy and Seb Downing (Jane and Michael Banks) and I felt she had taken them under her wing and was a reassuring presence to them. She never broke a sweat, even during an awkward moment when there was a delay in a musical number beginning and she improvised wonderfully. She took everything in her stride and dealt with it – just like a capable Nanny should! I thought her characterisation was excellent and she was a joy to watch and listen to. She has a winning smile, a beautiful singing voice and an outstanding ability to cope with occasional glitches. ![]() Her portrayal of Mary Poppins was, to coin a phrase, practically perfect in every way. I don’t believe this role could have been better cast. Mary Poppins in this Manchester Musical Youth (MMY) production is played by Kathryn Stephenson and she certainly weaved her magic over the show tonight. Chris has been a singer for Celebrity Cruises, as well as overseas in Macau and Dubai.Surely everyone is familiar with the story of Mary Poppins.the magical Nanny with THAT carpet bag who appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared again after she’d weaved her magic over the sad and slightly dysfunctional Banks family. “Bert, played by Chris Duir, is both realistic and likeable,” adds Di Saggau for The River Weekly, “and when he and his fellow chimney fill the stage for ‘A Step in Time,’ it’s a tap dancing spectacular with some splendid surprises.”īroadway Palm relates that Chris is excited to make his Broadway Palm debut by returning to the role of Bert for PEG! Duir was a member of the cast in the national tour of Grease (Eugene, u/s Teen Angel) and his regional credits include Crazy For You as Bobby Child, Singin’ in the Rain as Production Tenor, The Drowsy Chaperone as George, Damn Yankees as Smokey, and CATS as Skimbleshanks. And while she’s friendly, Mary seems to keep him at arm’s length.” As a child I thought Bert and Mary were an item, but as seen in this stage production, he respects her and has a crush on her. Duir plays him more like a person than a caricature and – thank God – doesn’t overdo it with the Cockney accent. Nancy Stetson writes in her review that “Chris Duir does a great job … His Bert’s a likeable guy, not half as goofy as Van Dyke is in the movie. He has a fantastic voice, and his tap dancing in ‘Step in Time’ is not to be missed.” Of course, he also was a prominent character in many of the musical numbers of the show. “He helped the show transition from scene to scene many times, and the personality he brought to his character made each of these moments amusing. “Chris Duir … matched Whitworth’s Poppins perfectly,” writes Yorgey in her Broadway World review. ![]() He plays the part of Bert the chimney sweep, who opens the show with a tone-setting performance of “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from his perch on a chimney stack overlooking the audience, stage left. Melissa Whitworth stars as London’s magical nanny (see the reviews on her performance, below), but lending her an impressive hand in teaching Jane and Michael Banks that anything can happen if you let it is Chris Duir. Florida Weekly’s Nancy Stetson thinks it is one of the best shows she’s seen at Broadway Palm and Broadway World’s Emily Yorgey calls Mary Poppins one of the all-time best productions she’s seen anywhere, “hands down.” On stage at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater is Mary Poppins The Broadway Musical. |
