My companion - who receives free checked bags with his airline, thanks to a co-branded credit card - decided to try the service. The service costs nothing, but passengers must pay the associated checked bag fees levied by their airlines. It allows cruisers with flights to leave their bags outside their cabin doors the night before disembarkation and pick them up again in their final destinations after their flights. Ships that sail from Seattle can offer a port-facilitated luggage valet service to passengers flying home after they leave the ship. The port valet serviceĪ form with information about the Port of Seattle's Port Valet program. Our call on Victoria - a technical requirement to satisfy the United States' Passenger Vessel Services Act - was only three hours, from 8 to 11 p.m., when most things in the city were already closed. (The wait for the return was so bad that enterprising locals offered to drive passengers to the ship in their personal vehicles for $20 a person.) We also waited 55 minutes in line to catch the return shuttle, so cumulatively, travel from and back to the ship wasted more than 90 minutes of the mere five hours we had in port. In Ketchikan, the ship docked seven miles outside of town, so because we didn't book an excursion, we spent 40 minutes on shuttle buses to get to the main area and back. We didn't dock in Juneau until after 2 p.m., which meant anyone hoping to schedule a full day of salmon fishing - a popular excursion in Alaska - was out of luck. However, the scheduled arrival times and some of the related logistics had me scratching my head. The ports themselves are great and absolutely on many cruisers' bucket lists. My seven-day cruise traveled round trip from Seattle and visited Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan in Alaska and Victoria in Canada's British Columbia with a scenic Glacier Bay sea day thrown in. ![]() Of the Norwegian ships sailing Alaska voyages, Norwegian Encore has one of the least desirable (and, therefore, most affordable) schedules, both in terms of when it arrives in port and where it docks.

If you're having trouble making reservations, tell the person working the desk that you're happy to skip the VR part if they can squeeze you in. However, the room can hold up to 10 players.

Unity-WebGL audio is utterly broken, it breaks and crackles, the doppler shifting for 3D garbles the sounds into incoherent soup, and looping is impossible because it wants to use good ol' MP3-Web format which wants to give us a 'convenient' little break of silence in between each loop. It took me a whole week just to find one script the compiler didn't like, by stripping the code base in half for every 1 hour build, until deduction finally revealed the problem. WebGL drops performance in half, (or more if you use any kind of physics), Unity 5 compiler often crashes at the *last minute* of builds, only to give you a useless error "python failed to run". Frequently I hear "It should be easy: just press the export-for-WebGL button and like magic everything will work great!" To date, I have not heard from any developer who has had any success with it. I'll make sure most projects get a standalone Chilton: My experience as well. I'll leave the Web Players up for now and I'll probably even continue releasing Web Players for future projects seeing as WebGL is nowhere near ready in my opinion, but for anyone using Chrome I'll display a message telling you to switch to a different browser if you want to try any of my projects without downloading the source or the standalone. UPDATE September 5, 2015: Google Chrome 45 is officially out now and Unity Web Player support is gone for good. ![]() Or I may start supplying standalone versions instead. If that doesn't work I may keep the Web Player, but put up a message for Chrome users. I will wait until September when the Web Player is officially unsupported to see just how it happens it praxis and then I will attempt to switch all my projects over to WebGL. The do however promise that one day it will be just as amazing as the Web Player. In short they recommend WebGL as a substitute for the Web Player, but acknowledge that it doesn't have the same feature set and performance as the Web Player at the moment. UPDATE August 10, 2015: Unity has made an official blog post about this: I only hope that WebGL in Unity is working a lot better by then. By then the other browsers will probably have removed NPAPI-support as well. I doubt most Chrome users will bother to manually enable NPAPI-support or switch browsers to use the Unity Web Player so I guess all my future projects will include a standalone build in addition to the Web Player build, and I will consider adding standalone builds to existing projects as well.īy September however I will drop the Web Player completely. The Unity Web Player has been integral to my website and I have spent a lot of time building functionality around it. It doesn't actually change things all that much seeing as I was planning on supplying standalone builds either way, but it would be preferable if Google had at least waited a week. Meaning Unity just lost the feature I enjoyed the most. Especially annoying is that of all is that this happens just before Ludum Dare 32. Building for WebGL in Unity is not ready yet which means the only option left are standalone players. ![]() Removing the NPAPI-support in Chrome is not something they suddenly decided to do, it has been a long time coming:īut it still sucks that they decided to pull the plug now. NPAPI’s 90s-era architecture has become a leading cause of hangs, crashes, security incidents, and code complexity. Their reasoning for doing this is as follow: The most popular of which include Java, Silverlight and the Unity Web Player. This change in Chrome or its workaround is not targeting the Unity Web Player specifically, but all plugins which use the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI). This isn't a dangerous thing to do, it just enables NPAPI-support as it was before you upgraded to Chrome version 42. Now the Unity Web Player should work just like before. This workaround will only work until September when support is removed for good: ![]() If this doesn't work you may have to empty your browser cache as well.

In the days, weeks, months and even years following the death of a loved one, all memories involving your loved one usually bring enormous pain. Was the person never spoken about again? Is the topic all together avoided? Do you feel unsure to bring up the person’s name for fear of making others uncomfortable or sad? Or does your family carry out any kind of rituals that help you to remember and honor your lost loved ones? To get to the memories, you must pass through the pain. Take a moment to consider how you or your family has handled the subject of remembering those who have died. “They are not forgotten, those who live on in the hearts of those they leave behind.” I suppose I made it a promise to myself that I would find a way to keep the memory of my brothers alive but how I would do it was not as clear in the beginning years as it is now. One of my favorite quotes that I latched onto when my brothers died (you can read more about my experience with loss here) was a quote written on a postcard I received: ![]() They are no longer physically here but your connection with them, to the degree that you are open to it, will change and evolve over time. As the years pass, finding ways to keep your loved one’s memory alive can bring comfort and a sense that they are still very much a part of your life. It is heartbreaking enough that they are no longer physically in your life. When my family experienced deaths, the subject of remembering the people who had died, much less talking about them, was met with trepidation and awkwardness. ![]() Having been brought up in an English-American family, the traditions around having any kind of formal way of remembering dead loved ones was completely lacking in my family.

Also, both players (computer) would only attack me and not the other computer. The same name playing single player as when I played global. Play global with supposed to be other real players but it is not. But, this game is not a game a risk when it is fixed against you. Playing RISK is supposed to be a game a risk and reward. I enjoy the game of RISK but this is not RISK as the game is fixed against you to make you spend money, money, money to play. This way people just say the heck with it as they can tell that nothing will be done so why waste my time again. Maybe, they can say they get any complaints because people are NOT going to sit there and re-type everything again when it was already done and sent to them. Oh, that way they do not get complaints or anything they would have to do something then. Third, now the email wants you to go to this site they highlighted and now you have to re-type everything again. Second, after typing everything up and sending it in you will get a return email back. ![]() First, when trying to contact support you are directed out of the game to send an email to them.

If your an obsessive risk player like me you’ll wanna get the 7 dollar thing which allows you to play an infinite amount of games without having to wait for your tokens to return(also gives access to multiple more maps) but if you are playing two games of risk or less per day then I’d say don’t but it and just wait for your tokens to regen. (And there are multiple maps too so you could dominate Boston, the United States, and Europe in loads of different maps) This game solves my passion for risk in two ways: gets my friends to play with me and gets totally random people to play with me so there is never a shortage of games to play. This, along with auto setup(optional) did away with the boring parts of risk and got to the fun stuff quick-world domination. With a colorful scheme and a game mechanic called “blitz”, (a new way of attacking) you can do away with the tedious dice rolling that stretched the hours of regular risk. However, when I found this my friends suddenly got more intrigued. I love playing risk and an always looking to do more of it, but unfortunately none of my friends share my enthusiasm, as the game has a playing time of upwards of two hours. Please make the computer in online much more sophisticated so that the games remain competitive and fair when some one quits mid game. My issue is I didn’t lose because the human player out strategized me, but rather because the computer player was in la la land with its head up its a-s. The computer proceeded to consistently attack territories in Asia and corner me in Australia by stacking surrounding territories with high troop counts, while my human opponent was absolutely running away with the game! To make matters worse, the human opponent left some continents with little protection and the computer still didn’t attack one single territory to reduce the bonus troops for the human opponent. The human opponent had at one point, four continents under full control, I had one (Australia) and the computer had its troops spread over Asia with out control of the full continent. A computer controlled, a human opponent and myself. I was just playing an online match and it was between three players.
