It’s a dope addition that allows for even more difficult levels and sections, giving the game a bit of a Trials feel as a result. That thrill is still in OlliOlli World, but the series is also more accessible than ever thanks to a new checkpoint system. ![]() OlliOlli2 catered toward hardcore players and dared them to go through entire levels without ever exiting a combo. RELATED: OlliOlli World Wants To Be the Best Skateboarding Game for Everyone ![]() While we haven’t seen every addition yet, there are five that already make the game more than just another OlliOlli: checkpoints, wall rides, better alternate pathways, grab-based tricks, and vert ramps. Well, it turns out there’s a reason why I’m not a game designer as the talented team at Roll7 has come up with a number of new additions that make OlliOlli World not only feel fresh but a proper reinvention of the franchise. I’d be more than happy to play more levels, but how would developer Roll7 manage to meaningfully improve upon the sequel? That’s why when OlliOlli World was announced, I was happy, but it felt almost unnecessary. To compare it to the most well-known skating series, OlliOlli2 felt like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, where the combo system was also finally complete and refined to the point where additional games could add more features but they wouldn’t ever change the core gameplay. ![]() From PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to a trio of Nintendo consoles, I found myself playing OlliOlli on every system available and was equally as enthralled with the sequel, OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood, which completed the trick system by adding in manuals. Levels were quick and skill-based with players being forced to focus on timing grinds and landing tricks successfully by hitting the X button upon landing. When OlliOlli launched on PlayStation Vita back in 2014, I instantly found myself hooked by its arcade structure. As a diehard fan of skateboarding games, I’m always excited when a new series comes along.

![]() Out of all of these cut scenes, the Zora transformation is by far the most unsettling. There are also a lot of masks, so players will get to see this many times throughout the game. When Link puts on a mask, we hear him scream out in pain, followed by a trippy, nightmarish sequence where he transforms into the character on his mask. Links Transformations Whilst this might not be completely terrifying, there is no denying that the cut-scenes in which Link puts on each of his collected masks are at least incredibly creepy. Whilst you can never actually put a finger on the reasons why you feel unease towards him, there is no denying that this Mask Salesman, innocent or not, is incredibly creepy. However, his happy one is not much better either. This guys angry face is, like the moons expression, rather intense. The Happy Mask Salesman might perpetually appear incredibly happy, but disappoint him and you briefly spot that this isnt the case. Get closer to the final hours though, the sixth hour in particular, and the music becomes almost uncomfortable to listen to. Majoras Masks soundtrack conveyed the creepy, nightmarish feel of the game, with tinkling, low sounding pieces. Weve been treated to the epic sounding Hyrule Field, the soothing Zeldas Lullaby and the adventurous Overworld Theme in past titles. The Music Music has always played an important part in the Zelda series, with not only link collecting and using a variety of instruments (the Ocarina being the most memorable), but the soundtrack successfully reflects each moment of the series. So, let us reflect on the parts that made us shudder. Twelve years on and people still remember you for your sinister moon, the creepy Happy Mask Salesman, Links constant torment and a host of nasty enemies. With only 72 hours to stop the moons descent, Links got his work cut out. Not only is a relic containing dark power causing misery for the Terminas residents, but he soon finds out that the moon is plummeting towards the world, threatening to crush its existence permanently. Thrown into a parallel world by the mischievous Skull Kid, Link discovers Termina, a land filled with danger. Step forward The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask. However, every so often a game manages to break through and knock down these assumptions, and leaves fans remembering it mainly for the disturbing aspects above all else. Its hard to imagine that occasionally Nintendo developers are capable of filling gamers with dread, especially when you consider how many family friendly titles there have ben available on their consoles over the years. These games have the power to make players overtly happy, shed a tear or two, or in this case, somewhat scared. In its 26 year legacy, The Legend of Zelda has had plenty of standout moments. ![]() Choose worksheets that draw attention to the individual sounds in each word.Today we’re going to look at how to choose the best sight word worksheets.

One insult riled up the MPAA, the film ratings board that decides what kind of lewd content tips a movie into PG, PG-13, and R territory. After filming had wrapped, Waters ran into another problem: the Plastics' words burned too hard. ![]() But the creation of the book is only half the story. The Burn Book was the rare movie prop completed well before the actual shoot of the movie, as it needed to be passed around by the main characters and eventually torn to shreds. "The faces in the book… there were all these extras, some in featured roles, and you do a photo session with those folks, not professional - the right camera, and sometimes terrible light." Wall photos became an inspiration for what wound up in the book. What followed was a series of off-the-cuff photography sessions that could be combined with the Burn Book's creepy pages to create something that could earn the name "Burn Book." Cary White, the production designer on Mean Girls, says he learned everything he knows about teenage girls from photographing the bedroom of Jamie Lee Curtis's daughter, who he and Waters met on the set of Freaky Friday, their previous movie. Waters remembers his prop master's design breakthrough: "He said, 'Let's make it look like those kidnapping videos.'" Then came filling the book with words, images, and designs that would evoke that would take bullying to a new, but cheerful level. The other idea that immediately sprung to mind was that the Burn Book had to look like a yearbook so that it could sit covertly on the shelf, eluding parental detection. ![]() "It had to be pink - the obvious color choice for Regina," Waters says. Revealing the making-of story to Thrillist, Waters says Tina Fey's script simply said "Karen takes a scrapbook of a shelf." That meant constructing a hyper-specific, yet universally high school prop out of the ferocious personality Fey had carved out on the page. But when director Mark Waters first set out to construct the insult tome, he only had the harsh words. The poetic dissbombs that fill the Burn Book - the anti-Bible wielded by Cady (Lindsey Lohan), Regina George (Rachel McAdams), and her Plastics in the 2004 comedy Mean Girls - are awful and legendary. "Trang Pak is a grotsky little byotch." "Dawn Schweitzer is a fat virgin" "Muckleroy takes medication for the boil on his back side." "Damian Leigh, too gay to function."
