After trying the preview build for Sombrero by Pixel metal, I decided to have a conversation with creator Nick Robalik about the project. Sombrero is a game by Pixelmetal Games, the name that Nick chose to give his solo operation. The only things that are not being handled by Nick are the music — which is being done by Nathaniel Chambers of Bubblepipe Media — and his public relations guy Scott Meaney. The game is going to be a “competitive local multiplayer plat former” with a spaghetti western theme, which he describes as similar to Super Smash Bros. From a game play perspective, it seems to be fairly similar to titles like Towerfall and Samurai Gun. All of these games are local multiplayer games in which the main mechanic is chaos. However, …show more content…
The characters are comedic versions of characters that would normally appear in a Spaghetti Western movie or game, ranging from the bandito “El Jefe” to the bizarre squid man “Jim from Cleveland”. There will also be characters from other indie games that will be featured. “Cheese Wedge” from Organic Panic, “Rad Raygun” from Super Rad Raygun, and “Peep” from Treasure Adventure World. In the build that I played, there were three levels: Clampett’s Hideaway, Jones Hill Cemetery and The Southern Ruins. The stages each have different amounts of explosives as well as different amounts of surfaces that bullets ricochet off of, forcing the players to adopt different strategies for each stage. Ricocheting bullets will turn red and become lethal to anybody, meaning that you can try to set up trick shots which run the risk of killing you too. This is meant to add to the chaos that is normally found in games like Super Smash Bros. The final build is going to have a total of five levels. Nick mentioned that to improve level design, he talked to some of his friends who are cartoonists and asked for criticism. He said that the main criticism that he got was the amount of detail that he put into the background, saying that he had to simplify his background and pick up on color theory in order to improve his plat

There are many urban legends out there today. The story can vary based on the teller but the plot remains similar throughout every story. One of my personal favorite legends is La Llorona, which means the weeping one. La llorona was a very beautiful woman who lived a good life, until an unfortunate event changed her life forever.
The land of Texas was initially owned by Spain, but became a part of Mexico when they won independence from Spain. The Mexican government allowed U.S citizens did they: promised to become citizens of Mexico and worshiped the Catholic Church. By 1825, 25,000 Americans lived in Texas in comparison to the 4,000 Tejanos, or Mexicans living in Texas. Americans living in Texas complained that they were used to governing themselves and resented taking orders from Mexican officials, that it was not suitable to them that Mexico outlawed slavery, and that all official documents were written in Spanish, a foreign language to them. The Tejanos complained that many settlers came without permission and showed little respect. The Mexican government then closed
In today’s world, we have many famous explorers that we study in text books. One person that is lesser known is Hernan Cortez. Hernan Cortez was born into a lesser noble family in the year of 1485. He was born by the name of Hernan Cortez Pizarror (aztec-history,com). Hernan was destined by his parents to become a lawyer. Setting his own path, Hernan Cortez became a conquistador instead at the age of nineteen. Denying his orders to not set sail, Hernan took eleven ships and more than five hundred men to the Mexican Coast (biography.com). Later becoming a ruler and a criminal, he died December 2, 1547.
Hernan Cortez was born in the Kingdom of Castile, Spain, 1485; Cortez was Spanish nobility but he was a sickly child, he was also an only child to his mother (Catalina Pizarro Altamirano) and Farther (Martin Cortes de Monroy), He came from a fairly famous family and his father was a captain in the Spanish army. His parents wanted him to become a lawyer so they sent him to the University of Salamanca in west-central Spain (1499), where he studied law and Latin at the age of fourteen. After two years, Cortes wasn't interested in becoming a lawyer and returned home when he was sixteen. Cortez was fascinated with tales of Christopher Columbus’ New World explorations. Cortez was most known for the Spanish conquistador who defeated the vast Aztecs Empire in Central America (image of Hernan Cortez below).
La Llorona is to Mexican and Chicano children, what the Bogeyman is to American kids. La Llorona is almost like a mythical monster made to scare kids into good behavior. The story is about a women who drowns her children after she is betrayed by her husband. Later, her spirit returns and roams the streets while she weeps, in search of her kids. I am sure that stories of La Llorona are almost like a household name in every Mexican home. I remember when i was a little kid, my summer days, were spent playing outside until the sunset. I’d rush home before the sun went down, because if got too dark then I’d fear that La Llorona would be lurking somewhere in the back alleys. But why is La Llorona lurking in Denver’s back alleys? Well, even though
Have you ever heard the legend about La Llorona known as “The Weeping Women”?Do you hear that? Do you hear that crying noise? People say that if you hear her cry expect death! La Llorona is real, even though people say she is she is an urban legend. There has been sightings of her in many places.
Should the US have all of Texas and California or should we not have them? The US went to war with Mexico in 1846. In this war the US wanted to have the Manifest Destiny come true, so the US fought over land which is now called Texas. After the war had been fought over Texas, the US had a little later had attempted to take more land. In which, they were successful and now we call the land they fought for part of California. The US was right for going to war with Mexico for three reasons, Manifest Destiny, there was a vote on it, and Mexico attacked first.
In this research paper I will focus on Sor Juana’s ability to challenge the patriarchal rule in Colonial Mexico through her the patterns language, and the publishing of her work in order to find out how her writing empowered more women writers. In order to answer my question, I will focus on male authority and will work to analyze how patterns, rhetoric, and overall publication of Sor Juana’s work challenge the power dynamic..The question I want answer is how Sor Juana’s work was able to alter cultural attitudes that did not permit women to pursue education and intellectual exploration. My argument is that through her critical language and the act of producing her poems Sor Juana is able to challenge the oppressive society run by males therefore creating a change in the gender norms of her time. This is based off of research of the history of patriarchy in Colonial Mexico, critical analyses of Sor Juana’s writing, understanding of the impact of her writing, and articles suggesting that Sor Juana was influential in altering culture in Mexico. Particularly, I found it interesting that articles explored her language focusing on the gender role she discusses. In this essay I will explore the restrictive cultural norms that pushed Sor Juana to enter the convent as a way to continue writing and publish her work and then proceed to analyze how her writing reflects her

La Sombra (Spanish for "The Shadow"; born November 3, 1989 in Gómez Palacio, Durango, Mexico) is the ring name of a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler. La Sombra's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. In the case of La Sombra it is known that his paternal last name is Andrade, from his father Jose Andrade Salasa, who wrestles as Brillante. La Sombra made his professional wrestling debut a month before his 14th birthday and worked initially as Brillante Jr. (Spanish for "Diamond Jr.") after his father who wrestled under the name "Brillante" for part of his career.
Spanish is the most common second language in the world and the most popular language taught in the United States schools. One reason it seems Spanish is the most popular second language, is over 20 countries claim it as their first language and over 400 million people speak it. More people on earth today speak two or more languages. With numbers like that it seems we all should learn a little bit of this popular language.
The Hispanic population is the fastest growing minority in the United States, Hispanics or Latinos are defined as a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Central American, or other Spanish speaking cultures. Hispanics, particularly Hispanic Americans are full of pride and vibrancy that you can’t help but notice. Today Hispanic groups are often perceived as immigrants, when in fact some group’s heritage can be traced back to the 1600’s in the western, southwest corner of what is now the United States, others groups such as Puerto Ricans were given American citizenship in 1917. “While immigrants used to make up the majority of U. S. Hispanic population today, almost two thirds were born in the U. S”(jec.senator).
Approximately 1 in 6 individuals are Hispanic in the United States, and the population is expected to grow to 1 in 4 by 2035 (CDC, 2015). Given that, Hispanics are the biggest minority group in the US (CDC, 2015). The leading cause of death among the Hispanic population is heart disease and cancer responsible for around 2 out of 5 deaths (CDC, 2015). Hispanics have a 50% greater chance of death resulting from diabetes or liver disease than whites (CDC, 2015). Additionally, there are 3 times as more uninsured Hispanics than whites (CDC, 2015). According to the US average, whites are 15 years older than the Latino population, so prevention will greatly benefit the health of the Latino population (CDC, 2015).
[C]Iconic is a great word to describe the character design of the Straw Hat Pirates. Grouping each member in cover spreads or fanart just goes to show you how diverse these character's are, with differences in apparel, physique, and even in genetic makeup (eye's, hair color, skin color etc.) showcasing the individuality of these people and signifies what type of person they are.
