It is a desktop application and is available for PC, Linux, and Mac. The media server I highly recommend for DLNA streaming is called PS3 Media Server. If you don’t know how to do it, it is very easy. However, I will probably wait for the 1TB slightly more lightweight PS4 version to be released in the next couple months. Now, finally, the PS4 also comes with it. PS3 came with this feature natively, and for years I have used it to stream my movie collection (I ripped all my DVDs and put them on my PC) wirelessly to my PS3. If you aren’t familiar with DLNA, it is what allows you to stream media such as videos and music from your computer to your PS3 or PS4. According to the Playstation website, you need to scroll to “Media Player” in your XMB, and select “Download”. In order to get it, you need to download it via the XMB. It is not automatically integrated but is an app that you need to download. ![]() Just a couple weeks ago, Sony finally completed and officially released the new DLNA feature.

![]() ![]() Also within the Church, the ritual of the Mass was sometimes reworked to create light-hearted parodies of it for certain festivities. In the 12th and 13th centuries there was a great surplus of clerics and monks who might be inclined to perform these Masses, as younger sons were often sent off to religious universities, and after their studies, needed to find a livelihood. Although these practices were condemned by Church authorities as superstitious and sacrilegious abuses, they still occurred secretively. As these types of personal prayers within the Mass spread, the institution of the Low Mass became quite common, where priests would hire their services out to perform various Masses for the needs of their clients ( Votive Masses)-such as blessing crops or cattle, achieving success in some enterprise, obtaining love, or even cursing enemies (one way this latter was done was by inserting the enemy's name in a Mass for the dead, accompanied by burying an image of the enemy). These practices became especially prevalent in France (see Pre-Tridentine Mass). Within the Church, the rite of the Mass was not completely fixed, and there were places at the end of the Offertory for the Secret prayers, when the priest could insert private prayers for various personal needs. ![]() Sixteenth century woodcut depicting Black Mass Medieval Roman Catholic parodies and additions to the Mass He also alleges that, whenever one of the women in their church was experiencing her period, they would take her menstrual blood and everyone in the church would eat it as part of a sacred ritual. The fourth-century AD heresiologist Epiphanius of Salamis, for instance, claims that a libertine Gnostic sect known as the Borborites engaged in a version of the Eucharist in which they would smear their hands with menstrual blood and semen and consume them as the blood and body of Christ respectively. Some of these rituals were of a sexual nature. However, as early Christianity became more established and its influence began to spread, the early Church Fathers began to describe a few heretical groups practicing their own versions of Masses. ![]() In general, its various liturgies followed the outline of Liturgy of the Word, Offertory, Liturgy of the Eucharist and Benediction, which developed into what is known as the Mass. The Catholic Church regards the Mass as its most important ritual, going back to apostolic times. Rhodes' book The Satanic Mass published in London in 1954, and there is now a range of modern versions of the Black Mass performed by various groups. In the 19th century the Black Mass became popularized in French literature, in books such as Satanism and Witchcraft, by Jules Michelet, and Là-bas, by Joris-Karl Huysmans. It has allegedly existed for centuries in different forms and is directly based on, and is intentionally a sacrilegious and blasphemous mockery of, a Catholic Mass. The Guibourg Mass by Henry de Malvost, from the book Le Satanisme et la magie by Jules Bois, Paris, 1903Ī Black Mass is a ceremony typically celebrated by various Satanic groups. ![]() ![]() ![]() Slavery’s legacy haunts Southern Gothic and contrasts starkly with the biblically driven culture’s belief in the divine and equitable love of Jesus. In Southern Gothic stories, depraved pastors or preachers hark back to the priests and monks of Gothic stories, and impenetrable forests and decrepit mansions stand in for the maze-like, crumbling castles of Europe.Īlthough mythic elements, crime, and class tension abound in Southern Gothic (as in “ Barn Burning” by William Faulkner), racial tension is arguably the genre’s defining characteristic. ![]() Their mansions and plantations cannot be maintained without slaves, and their inevitable decline into decay and ruin is a delayed reflection of the corrupt souls of those who profited by exploiting others. Slave owners, enriched by the labor of the oppressed, are the South’s incarnation of depraved aristocrats with absolute power. While Gothic literature warns of abusive religions and aristocracy prevalent in medieval Europe, the post-Civil War South is another place once wealthy because of past abuses. "The Fall of the House of Usher" applies the classic Gothic tropes of decadent aristocracy and ghoulish goings-on to Poe's America in a straightforward, recognizable form but already there are hints of how the genre would evolve in the Reconstruction South. In the end, the house literally falls, and the swamp closes over the bodies and the ruin of the house’s former grandeur, ending the House of Usher and its blighted lords and ladies forever. The aristocratic line of Usher has, in essence, cannibalized itself in the name of genetic purity. They’re the last of their line, and their insanity is the price of refusing to marry and procreate with outsiders. Usher, still a bachelor, is losing (or has already lost?) his mind, and lives with a sickly maiden sister, who moves like a ghost through the halls. “I looked.upon the bleak walls, upon the vacant eye-like windows, upon a few rank sedges, and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees-with an utter depression of soul….” He has come at the request of his old friend Usher, who is isolated, unaccountably fearful, and sick. In Poe’s story, the young hero rides through an oppressive, unnatural swamp encircling a mansion. “The Fall of the House of Usher”, by Edgar Allan Poe, is the short story in which earlier, shocker Gothic novel elements coalesce into an American grotesque Gothic. The Missing Link: “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe ![]() ![]() Once the Gothic made its way to America, those same themes reappeared, with startling and incisive transformations. To that end, traditional Gothic tales contain combinations of depraved monks and priests decaying, maze-like castles that trap innocent maidens and hard-working heroes ghosts or the unsound rattling chains in towers sick aristocrats as the last of their lines and the trap of social status symbolized by dank dungeons and crypts. But these classic Gothic stories focused on a deep suspicion and fear of what that Enlightenment left behind: the unreformed Catholic Church, a corrupt, despotic aristocracy, and the superstitions and injustices they embodied. Gothic lit first came into vogue in the late 18th Century, when rational classicism was admired. Traditional Gothic literature was neither clear-cut ghost story nor horror, but featured grotesque elements that would go on to influence everything from pulp fiction to slasher pics. Today, Fiction Unbounders Lisa Mahoney and Amanda Baldeneaux embark upon a three-part exploration of speculative fiction within the Southern Gothic genre, starting with short stories. Southern Gothic literature is stepping out from the haunted shadows of pecan trees and peach blossoms (and "regional fiction" shelves) into modern must-read lists. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thus, all taper fade haircuts for men are meant to be a success. The best part is that a classic taper is a core of all modern haircut ideas, including faux hawk, quiff, fade pompadour, flat top, comb over, and Mohawk.

Later in 2012, Chaosium would publish Magic World as a stand alone game. The last three pages of the booklet contain a sample adventure. (This system was later incorporated into the third edition of RuneQuest.) In Magic World, casting a spell is a skill much like picking a lock or swinging a sword - the spellcaster achieves success with a good skill roll. In most other RPGs to that time, the spellcaster cast a spell and success required the target to fail a saving throw. Initial characters can start as one of four professions (Warriors, Rogues, Sages and Sorcerers) and one of the standard Tolkienesque fantasy races, such as dwarfs, trolls, goblins, and elves.

Later, Duncan, Lucas and the Locke siblings return home and restore Ellie to her true appearance using the Identity Key, and she and Lucas have a chance to properly reconcile after so many decades apart. She goes to Keyhouse, where she encounters Bode alone and manages to convince him that she is indeed Ellie and not Dodge. Meanwhile, Ellie arrives back at home disorientated after being freed, but she still looks like Dodge and is searching for Rufus, who is long gone. To save Kinsey, Tyler uses the Alpha Key on Dodge, seemingly killing her and restoring the still-teenaged Lucas in his original state, who gives all Dodge’s collected keys back to Kinsey and explains that he had no control over Dodge’s actions. The hoard turns and attacks Dodge on Duncan’s order, and he grabs the Demon Key. Unfortunately, Gabe/Dodge and the hoard are too powerful, but Duncan has an unexpected trick up his sleeve: his blood is tied to the Demon Key, and he can therefore command the hoard. In the finale face-off, the Locke siblings and Uncle Duncan aren’t about to sit around and wait to be attacked again, so they go on the offensive at Gabe’s cliff-edge villa and Kinsey pretends to throw herself off the cliff using the Angel Key as a distraction while Duncan, Tyler and Scot try to break into the vault and snatch the Demon Key. Gabe wants her to join his ranks voluntarily. It’s a good call, because Gabe is planning to send his hoard of demons over to Keyhouse to kill Nina Locke (and any other Lockes they can get their hands on) in the process, with the exception of Kinsey, who the Gabe version of Dodge has become obsessed with. Devastated by the loss of his girlfriend after the Alpha Key failed to save her, Tyler Locke decides that Gabe/Dodge must be killed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Was that the plan and how did that story change to mirror the state of the world we live in?
