![]() ![]() This time out we were invited out to promotea sweet new game, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game an addition to The Witcher series. Like before, the expo took place in Boston, MA and of course we teamed up with some good people for another fun-filled weekend. Perhaps that’s why there are so many now.īack in late April, a couple of us here at the office got to go play out in the wild in one of our favorite events, PAX East. But you never know what to expect and that’s the best part about the weekend. We love it and everyone who makes up that community, because after a couple of times being there you know who you’re going to see. A 3-light-year-long pillar, bathed in the glow of light from hot, massive stars to the top of the image.For those of us Limelight veterans, PAX has been a constant fixture, year in and year out. Scorching radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from these stars are sculpting the pillar and causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of gas and dust can be seen flowing off the top of the structure. Nestled inside this dense structure are fledgling stars. They cannot be seen in this image because they are hidden by a wall of gas and dust. Although the stars themselves are invisible, one of them is providing evidence of its existence. Thin puffs of material can be seen traveling to the left and to the right of a dark notch in the center of the pillar. The matter is part of a jet produced by a young star. Farther away, on the left, the jet is visible as a grouping of small, wispy clouds. ![]() Astronomers estimate that the jet is moving at speeds of up to 850,000 miles an hour.Ī few small clouds are visible at a similar distance on the right side of the jet. The jet's total length is about 10 light-years.Ĭomposed of gas and dust, the pillar resides in a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula, located 7,500 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina.White Snake ( simplified Chinese: 白蛇:缘起 traditional Chinese: 白蛇:緣起 pinyin: Báishé: Yuánqǐ Wade–Giles: Pai 2shê 2: Yüan 2ch'ih 3 lit. 'White Snake: The Origin') is a 2019 Chinese-American computer animation fantasy film directed by Amp Wong and Zhao Ji, with animation production by Light Chaser Animation. The film was inspired by the Chinese folktale Legend of the White Snake and was released in China on January 11, 2019. A sequel White Snake 2: The Tribulation of the Green Snake was announced in 2020, and was released on July 23, 2021. The film has been featured in festivals including Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Fantasia International Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival, Sitges Film Festival, Warsaw International Film Festival, and Animation Is Film. The story follows the Chinese fable the Legend of the White Snake. The protagonist is a young adult white snake -demon Blanca who loses her memories while being disguised as a lovely human woman and falls in love with a snake hunter. This strongly displeases her young sister, Verta, the green snake-demon. The story begins with two sisters in a traditional Chinese bath, where they both speak of immortality. It then shows that same mysterious woman (named Blanca) who is on a mission to assassinate the general. However, she is caught and is involved in a battle which results in her submerging into water and losing her memories. She is rescued by a man, Xuan, who takes her to his home, Snake Catcher village, where the villagers catch snakes for the general, as snakes were thought to aid in immortality. Reluctant at first, Blanca is skeptical about Xuan. However, after spending some time with him (and with the reveal that she has magic powers) she starts to fall for him. They find a jade hair pin which brings back some memories when it is then revealed, that the hairpin too is magical. Xuan reads the inscription, which indicates it was made at "special jade workshop". Meanwhile, there is a cavern of snake-demon people, who are oppressed by the general. It is revealed that Blanca's sister is alive, a soldier for the Snake master. ![]() A snake had previously seen the two together, deeming Blanca a traitor as she is with a snake-catcher. Her elder sister Verta argues otherwise and says that she will find and return her, whilst also engaging in an insurance policy- if she is not back with Blanca in three days, then the Death Scales embedded in her will explode and kill her. ![]()
