![]() VSEPR structures like this one are often drawn using the wedge and dash notation, in which solid lines represent bonds in the plane of the page, solid wedges represent bonds coming up out of the plane, and dashed lines represent bonds going down into the plane. The molecular structure of the methane molecule, CH 4, is shown with a tetrahedral arrangement of the hydrogen atoms. One of these regions, however, is a lone pair, which is not included in the molecular structure, and this lone pair influences the shape of the molecule (Figure 2). On the other hand, the ammonia molecule, NH 3, also has four electron pairs associated with the nitrogen atom, and thus has a tetrahedral electron-pair geometry. ![]() The electron-pair geometries will be the same as the molecular structures when there are no lone electron pairs around the central atom, but they will be different when there are lone pairs present on the central atom.įor example, the methane molecule, CH 4, which is the major component of natural gas, has four bonding pairs/domains of electrons around the central carbon atom the electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral, as is the molecular structure (Figure 1). ![]() The structure that includes only the placement of the atoms in the molecule is called the molecular structure. We differentiate between these two situations by naming the geometry that includes all electron pairs the electron-pair geometry. So all central atoms have one of the defined geometries above (linear, → octahedral) and then if it has a number of lone pairs greater than zero it has a different molecular structure/shape. It shows the overall shape that the bonds make within a structure that still abides by a set electron-pair geometry defined above. Molecular structure/shape describes the location of the atoms, not the electrons. The electron-pair geometries shown in the previous page describe all regions where electrons are located, bonds as well as lone pairs. It is important to note that electron-pair geometry around a central atom is not the same thing as its molecular structure/shape.

It's a level of personalization that's both extreme for fighting games and exactly my jam, because even in video games, I'm always looking for fresh new looks.Appearance: His normal Marvel attire, especially in Marvel vs. ![]() They're not really what I turn to when I'm looking for a ride-or-die, you know? That said, Injustice 2 makes a strong case for it staying in the rotation: There's all this gear to find and try on to tweak every character's look and stats, like a superhero version of Project: Runway except with lasers and fistfights. We’ve had a blast with Injustice 2 over the past few weeks-but do you think we’ll still be playing it a few months from now?įighting games, like racing games, are often palate cleansers for me. I tore through the story mode (and unlocked some pretty insane gear for a bunch of the superheroes)-but I’ve barely dipped into all the online features, which look almost intimidatingly robust. By the time the credits roll, you’ll have a pretty good idea about which character you want to focus on leveling up.Īnd that leads to my one lingering question about this game: the long-term replayability. And the story mode is the ideal introduction to the larger game, because it lets you control pretty much everybody for at least a few rounds. There’s plenty of depth, but not so much depth that an Injustice newbie couldn’t just pick up a controller and do a bunch of cool shit by mashing buttons. Let’s get into the fighting mechanics.īut whichever character you like best-I’m mostly playing as Catwoman, come at me- Injustice 2 hits the sweet spot every fighting game should aim for. And if I end up liking Atrocitus enough that I pick up a Green Lantern comic to learn more about him… well, that’s exactly the kind of gateway drug to the DC Comics universe that Injustice 2 implicitly encourages.īut we’ve talked enough about the plot and the characters. ![]() Scott: But that’s exactly what’s so great about this game! Injustice 2 gave me exactly as much information as I needed to appreciate the presence a cranky alien with a cat before it threw me into a battle with him. They're like the comic book version of alt-right internet trolls they probably yell "Snowflake" all the time. Like a Green Lantern, but powered by SO MUCH RAGE their blood literally boils. And not to belabor the point, but Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing is in this game! You’ve got your big-name favorites, of course (Batman figures most prominently, alongside a huge rogues gallery that includes the Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn.) But you’ve also got a bunch of lesser-known weirdos like Atrocitus, an alien with a magic cat, and Doctor Fate, a dimension-hopping sorcerer with a magic helmet. Injustice 2 includes a total of 28 playable characters, and most of them get at least a few big moments to shine. Supergirl, who serves as the closest thing Injustice 2 has to a female lead.įortunately, Wonder Woman is the exception to the rule. In this universe, she’s the despotic Superman’s ex-lover, and his most devoted lieutenant-but her only real purpose in this game is to mislead Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Injustice 2 is saddled with the Wonder Woman baggage from the first game. Scott: I’m glad you brought up Wonder Woman, because she’s probably the most ill-treated character in the entire game. Which is a video game version of smashing together every single toy you can find and shouting shit like the Green Lantern's Oath. Injustice 2 stumbles plenty-it's, frankly, lousy that this game's Wonder Woman is a tyranny-prone despot in light of the excellent, aspirational character in theaters right now-but Injustice 2 is always aware of what it is. Of course, its plot is not one I'd want to watch in a movie theater, but I'm after very different things when I'm seeing a movie or playing a fighting game. " Injustice 2 surprised the hell out of me by being much better than the original while also not being any less ridiculous." As objects stick to the katamari, the katamari will grow, eventually allowing objects that were once hurdles to be picked up, and creating access to areas that were formerly blocked. Animals such as cats will chase the katamari, knocking things from it, but once the katamari is great enough, it will scare the animals away, and they can be rolled up once they are chased down. This allows slender objects, such as pencils, that are longer than the katamari is wide, to be picked up, and these will alter how the katamari rolls until more objects are picked up. The game uses size, weight, and surface area to determine if an object will stick to the katamari. Objects that are smaller than the katamari will stick to it when the player comes into contact with them, while greater objects can be hurdles colliding at high speed with any may cause objects to fall off the katamari, slowing the player's progress. Other controls can be triggered by the player to gain a quick burst of speed, flip the Prince to the other side of the katamari and more. The player uses the two analog sticks on the DualShock controller in a manner similar to the classic arcade game Battlezone to control the direction the katamari rolls. The player controls the Prince as he rolls the katamari around houses, gardens, and towns in order to meet certain parameters set by the King of All Cosmos. Gameplay The "Make A Star" mode in Katamari Damacy is the primary mode, where the player must grow the katamari to a specific size (diameter) in a limited amount of time Ultimately, the family, along with their house and town, are rolled up in the katamari that is used to remake the Moon. The father, an astronaut, is unable to go to the Moon after it is wiped out by the King, and the daughter, whose name is Michiru, "senses" the Prince's work-she can feel when each constellation returns to the sky. Ī side-story follows the Hoshino family as the Prince works at his tasks. The Prince is successful, and the universe is returned to normal. Despite acknowledging his mistake, the King charges his five-centimeter-tall son, the Prince, to go to Earth with a "katamari"-a magical ball that allows anything smaller than it to stick to it and make it grow-and collect enough material for him to recreate the stars and the Moon. In a drunken stupor, an eccentric, god-like entity called the King of All Cosmos destroys all the stars, Earth's Moon and other such celestial bodies in the universe, save for Earth itself. A high-definition remaster of the game, Katamari Damacy Reroll, was released on Windows and Nintendo Switch in December 2018, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2020, and on Google Stadia in September 2021. Some critics have hailed it as a cult classic and one of the greatest video games of all time, praising its gameplay, replay value, humor, originality, and shibuya-kei soundtrack. Its success led to the creation of the greater Katamari franchise, and inspired numerous subsequent games imitating its quirky, colorful charm. Katamari Damacy was well received in Japan and North America, becoming a surprise hit and winning several awards. Katamari Damacy 's story, settings and characters are highly stylized and surreal, often both celebrating and satirizing facets of Japanese culture. This is achieved by rolling a magical, highly adhesive ball called a katamari around various locations, collecting increasingly larger objects, ranging from thumbtacks to human beings to mountains, until the ball has grown large enough to become a star. ![]() The game's plot concerns a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild the stars, constellations, and Moon, which were inadvertently destroyed by his father, the King of All Cosmos.
