![]() As I listened to the plot, however, I began to identify with Montag’s anxiety-for I was feeling increasing anxiety over the coronavirus. Robbins also uses different voices for each major character, emphasizing the satirical aspects of the novel. First of all, actor and director Tim Robbins ( Shawshank Redemption, Dead Man Walking) is a fantastic narrator, capturing the feverish force of Bradbury’s descriptive and, at times, over-the-top prose. The experience of listening to Fahrenheit 451 during a national pandemic was at once powerful and unsettling. He claims that society gave up on them of its own accord, not because of state censorship. ![]() As Faber’s foil and the book’s villain, Captain Beatty claims that books only provide contradictions and unpleasantries. An open society also offers the time to reflect on such inquiry and also the freedom to make things better. A good book, or any form of media for that matter, has “quality”-it examines deeply and closely the “pores” of human life. Montag eventually joins up with Professor Faber, a retired English professor, in a plot to change the system.įaber explains to Montag that it’s not the physical, paper-bound nature of books that matters-it’s what in them. Montag’s change in manner arouses the suspicion of his boss, Captain Beatty, a fire chief armed with slippery arguments and his Mechanical Hound, an evil robot dog. In turn, he tries to shake his wife Mildred out of her addiction to the state media, but with no success. Montag soon questions his participation in this system after conversations with Clarisse McLellan, a free-spirited neighbor who questions his way of life. In the place of books, the state offers mindless programs distributed through earbud-style “seashells” and wall-to-wall “parlor” TV screens. Montag lives in an unspecified American town, in an unspecified future where a totalitarian government controls the population’s minds by burning all books. “It was a pleasure to burn.” That’s the novel’s great first line and our introduction to Guy Montag, a fireman who loves to burn books. But I soon realized that Bradbury, writing at the height of the Cold War, was not chiefly concerned with the destruction of books. I did find it ironic, at first, to be listening to a book about burning books, as if I was somehow contributing to their spontaneous combustion. I could fill another gap in my knowledge of the classics-without having to judge the book by any cover. When The Banner’s Mixed Media editor asked if I wanted to review Fahrenheit 451 as an audiobook, I accepted immediately. While I was intrigued, the garish flames on the cover turned me off, and I never read Bradbury’s novel. “He’s actually burning books,” my brother explained, adding that 451 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which books will spontaneously combust. The copy we had at home of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 showed a fireman in front of a raging fire. When I was a teen, I definitely judged a book by its cover.

![]() He also seems to be a quick thinker, able to plan his next moves on a whim. This agility and speed combines well with his usage of melee weapons, allowing him to slice, stab, and/or beat his way swiftly through rooms of enemies. Sanford is also notably agile and quick, often moving fast, performing acrobatics while killing enemies, and dodging attacks with ease. He was the first of the duo to recover from having a building dropped on their heads, was able to keep moving long enough to get to a medical cabinet after being shot in the stomach, and even managed to take a knife in the ribs and then pull it back out, treating it as a minor inconvenience. Sanford holds an impressive tolerance for pain. This resulted in Deimos holding a higher body count than Sanford, until Sanford was able to surpass Deimos due to his death. As a result, it is rare that he takes the lead, often preferring to trail behind his comrades. His fighting style is often more tactical, wary, and strategic, contrasting with Deimos's more reckless approach or, again, Hank's direct approach. His firearms preferences seem to lean towards guns that leave large wounds, such as shotguns, high-caliber revolvers, or even a Bren gun. When equipped with firearms, Sanford seems to take more of a support role with his teammates, complementing Deimos's battle-charge fight style, or Hank's head-on direct approach. This is especially obvious given his signature weapon, the hook, which he used to snag enemies and pull them away, or use as an impaling tool. His preferred choice of weaponry involves melee weapons, a foil to the more firearm-acquainted Deimos. After Hank and Sanford reunite, Sanford notably becomes less involved in combat, preferring to let Hank head in first and provide support, even following at a distance and looking over his shoulder warily.Īlong with his allies, Sanford is very combat-capable, being skilled in different forms of fighting. ![]() His face did revert to normal when Hank returned and distracted Tricky. When he is slammed into a cliff at high speed by Tricky, Sanford lets out a scream of pain and agony, and his expression goes from one of smug focus to one of terror as Tricky overwhelms him and he hides behind a riot shield for dear life. He begins to act more out of emotion, at one point even angrily throwing two guns to the ground when they are useless against some of his enemies. As the episode progresses, Sanford's serious demeanor cracks and falls away as he is pushed to his very limits by Tricky, and slowly feels more hopeless and negative as he fights. Wimbleton, who is already majorly focused on killing his way through, Sanford is woefully unprepared for the new challenges he faces. However, this proves to be impossible as instead of prior objectives of his missions, Sanford's sole goal is to survive. Upon being faced with Demon Tricky and being thrust into Hell, Sanford attempts to maintain his focused attitude. Madness Combat 11, however, is where Sanford begins to crack. Between he and Deimos, he is the de facto leader of the two, thanks to his collected nature and sense of responsibility. Upon finding out that Deimos had been killed in Madness Combat 9, Sanford does show shock and even takes a step back for a moment, before focusing his attention to the Auditor and returning to his serious demeanor. Up to Madness Combat 11, Sanford had always remained calm, collected, and focused, in contrast with his partner Deimos, who is more goofy and clumsy. But in Madness Combat 6.5, his gains a smug look, including his iconic lip, when he tries on the glasses, as if feeling confident. 5 episodes, he has a normal cross on his face. Sanford is shown to be serious, but be surprisingly expressive when it comes to combat. He rejoins Hank in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation after being sent to retrieve his corpse, and has been in every subsequent main episode since. He later appears in Madness Combat 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 alongside Deimos as they fight their way through various A.A.H.W. He debuts with Deimos in Madness Combat 5 when they deliver a dragon sword to Hank. He wears a bandana, black teashades, army-camo pants and has a double helix pattern tattoo on his back. Sanford is the deuteragonist of the Madness Combat series, primarily fighting alongside Deimos. Gadget-brandishing and meathook-wielding extraction team duo, who work closely with Hank but whose loyalties are not fully known. Sanford, as he appears in Madness Combat 9. Not to be confused with Sanford from MADNESS: Project Nexus. ![]() Laika also was one of the first cases that sparked concern about animal rights and cruelty. Soon after, mankind was successfully launched into space. As tragic as Laika’s story is, her death allowed us to learn a lot about space travel. Thankfully, after her tragic death, several dogs were able to make it back alive and well. Laika was not the first dog in space, nor was she the last. She was cramped, overheated, hungry, and terrified. After reaching orbit alive, Laika soon died. When she went through the heat shield, the temperatures in the ship rose. Her heart rate rose to triple the normal rate, and her respiratory rate was four times its normal rate. Laika’s Tragic FlightĪs Laika was flying towards outer space, the noise and pressure of flight horrified her. She was only given one meal for the entire trip and no way to return to earth.Įarly in the morning on November 3rd, Laika’s ship was launched into space - the G-Force reaching five times the normal level. Her capsule only allowed for a few inches of movement. Three days before her liftoff, Laika entered the tiny capsule with a sanitation device and a spacesuit with metal restraints. She was given the name Laika, which meant “barker.” Doctors performed surgery on Laika to implant a medical device that would monitor her heart rate, respiratory rate, physical movement and blood pressure. Kudryavka was introduced to the public through radio. Kudryavka was chosen as the finalist, and Albina was chosen as an alternate. The final candidates were chosen to become the Sputnik 2 ’s canine cosmonaut. ![]() Most dogs would retain their bodily waste rather than use the device. Even so, they were very uncomfortable for the dogs. Prior To Liftoffįinalists from these tests were fitted with sanitation devices at the pelvic area that would allow them to use the bathroom. They checked their reactions to air pressure changes and loud noises that would occur during liftoff. At first, this was for days at a time, and then weeks. The selected canines would live in tiny pressurized capsules. The dogs were then put through a series of tests to determine their obedience, passivity, and endurance. She, along with many other female strays, was selected by the Soviet Canine Recruiters for their small size and gentle temperaments. Kudryavka (Little Curly) was a sweet stray from the streets of Moscow. Therefore, they decided they would use animals to test ships for them. When the Soviet Union decided they wanted to launch a manned ship into orbit, they realized they had no idea how to create a ship where a human could survive and return to earth. One of the most tragic examples being Laika: The Space-Dog. However, after its unofficial end in 1975, the world slowly realized that many of the research and business practices that got us to the moon were highly unethical. It was a mad dash to see who could make it to space first, and which country could out-perform the other. The space race began in 1957, taking many countries by storm. ![]() Golden Hill park is a centrally-located, uncrowded and relaxing space to do your own thing. ![]() Flow through a relaxing Vinyasa routine or sit in quiet meditation at one of the best natural yoga studios on the planet - and for free!

The voice acting may be a dud, but the staticky, technological sound effects when selecting options and activating abilities provide cool, satisfactory aural feedback. We must stress, though, that the lacklustre aspects of the game are outweighed by what it does right in every other area.
