38: Starship: Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us NowĬoming two years after “We Built This City,” this chart-topper brought plenty of derision from fans who still associated the Airplane/Starship with their radical origins. We’ll just say that whoever wrote it knew their Scorpions pretty well (the feel isn’t too far from that of the earlier hit “Still Loving You”) and clearly belonged in rock’n’roll full-time. But the plot thickened in recent years, as a few researchers floated the idea that the song may have been written by someone in the CIA. 39: The Scorpions: Wind of ChangeĪn inspiring record in its time, this tune took an almost hymnlike approach to celebrate the rise of glasnost and the end of Cold War tensions. Still, this stands as one of Pat DiNizio’s most charming tunes, and they even got some Byrdsy 12-string into it. It was their biggest chart hit and might have been a bigger one if they hadn’t released a ballad during the height of the grunge era. 40: The Smithereens: Too Much PassionĪ nod to the 60s from a band of true believers, this was the Smithereens doing Motown complete with a string arrangement. But don’t forget that the Bangles had more than one singer, and the Peterson sisters’ harmony parts are the secret weapons here. Susanna Hoffs’ vocal is full of yearning on a song about wanting love to last forever while realizing that may be a dream. ![]() The Bangles managed to make a classic 80s power ballad without completely letting go of their love for 60s pop you can still hear hints of the Left Banke and the Mamas & The Papas between the lines. Boggles the mind that he would have considered throwing one this good away it’s a torch ballad with a heartfelt lyric and the graceful melodic turns of his usual band Genesis at their pop-era best.Ĭlick to load video 41: The Bangles: Eternal Flame ![]() The backstory on this is just too perfect to believe: Taylor Hackford needed a theme for his new film, and Phil Collins just happened to have a discarded song with the words “against all odds” in the lyric. But this outside tune had the magic touch, and even if you didn’t love the song, it left no doubt about Robin Zander’s status as one of the great voices in rock. ‘Absolutely Free’: Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention’s Early ClassicĬheap Trick were no strangers to power ballads by the time of this megahit, having already scored minor hits with two Rick Nielsen originals (“Tonight It’s You” and “If You Want My Love”).‘Wind Of Change’: Peter Frampton Heralds A Coming Whirlwind.‘Smoke On The Water’: Deep Purple’s Fire In The Sky.And Turner characteristically sings the hell out of it, building up to the big mid-song outburst. Even though the songwriters dutifully get the word “Thunderdome” into the chorus, its sense of existential dread proves timeless. Recorded at the height of Tina Turner’s 80s comeback, this was a beautifully atmospheric record that transcended its Mad Max movie-theme origins. 44: Tina Turner: We Don’t Need Another Hero ![]() Landing somewhere at the crossroads of 80s synth-rock, adult contemporary, and hard rock, this power ballad was the band’s debut single, but they would never reach such chart (and emotional) heights again. With its unmistakable intro of pulsing staccato synths and vocal grandiosity, the Cutting Crew’s anguished ballad was more about succumbing to a regretful tryst with an ex, than a sweeping romance. ![]() 45: Cutting Crew: I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight If you put these all on a playlist, you’ve got the best two hours of slow dancing you’ll ever enjoy. This list of the 45 best power ballads is drawn mainly from that era, but we’ve also included a few earlier songs that laid the groundwork. Ah, the power ballad: 80s radio – and most of our love lives – would have been a lot less colorful without it.

If I did remember something incorrectly, feel free to correct me. Hardcore: Starting Lives 1, Checkpoints don't heal Normal: Enemies more resilient (+1-hit required), Checkpoints Heal, Lives Heal and give extra life, starting lives 9 Easy: Unlimited Lives, Checkpoints Heal, Lives Heal, almost all enemies die with a single shot Main differences between difficulties are following: So make sure to beat the stage once you get an upgrade. But the spent money is lost and won't be refunded if you are unable to complete the stage after purchasing an upgrade. This both works for and against you: You can keep amassing a sum without a worry of losing it for next upgrade. I for example used numerous amounts of continues on Final Zone while still retaining the upgrades (but lives always were reseted back to 1, of course).Īlso your score / cash won't be reseted after using a continue. I got an upgrade on zone 1, using continue on zone 2 and I still keep the upgrade. The game is (fortunately) surprisingly forgiving since there's unlimited amount of continues.Īlso if you had completed a stage/zone with an upgrade, you'll keep it regardless how many continues you use afterwardsĮ.G. Stylistic Suck: Spacebook is portrayed as using an interface fit for computers of the 80's.If you're achievement hunting, I recommend beating the game on Hardcore with full weapon-upgrade-set, since that mode unlocks achievement for all difficulties.If she saves Balzac all the way to the final stage, he'll give her a proper spacesuit, which includes the prompt "Dignity obtained". Stripperiffic: Serena wears what is essentially a space bikini.Stay in the Kitchen: The Prince trolls Serena by asking her what she's doing out of the kitchen.Spoof Aesop: The epilogue of the Golden Ending states that the moral of the story is that one day, trolls might just piss off someone who can totally wreck their shit.Getting him all the way to the end not only gets you a spacesuit, but also the Golden Ending. Robot Buddy: Balzac, Serena's robot sidekick who you can occasionally find trapped behind some sort of obstacle that you can help him out of.Beside the premise - Serena wants to punish a guy, not save him - most setpieces and enemies are remarkably faithful. Retraux: The game is a remake of a 1987 Spanish computer game called Phantis (also known as Game Over II).If you did, Serena kicks the Prince in the junk and is soon surrounded by his security force only for Balzac to rescue her via spaceship, and the two proceed to the final level, where they fight through the Prince's forces and finally the Prince himself in a Humongous Mecha.If you didn't, Serena kicks the Prince in the junk and is soon surrounded and apprehended by his security force.Multiple Endings: There are two endings depending on whether or not you managed to get Balzac all the way to the end of the game.Lethal Lava Land: The fourth stage of the game takes place in a cavern filled with lava.Groin Attack: Serena gives the Prince a quick punt to the nuts once she gets to him.Disproportionate Retribution: As noted above, the entire game is all about Serena hunting down some guy who trolled her over the internet.Badass Cape: One of the upgrades you can buy, which lets you take one more hit than usual.Affectionate Parody: Of campy science fiction stories like Flash Gordon.Action Girl: The protagonist, who will gladly blast away as many creatures as she can to avenge the pettiest of slights.Ultonius: A Tale of Petty Revenge contains examples of: Not one to let this slight stand, she proceeds to track down the Space Prince so that she can kick his ass for trolling her.

When the family empties out their vault at Gringotts in the Chamber of Secrets, they come away with only 1 galleon and a pile of sickles, roughly $50 to $75. ![]() On the opposite end of the spectrum, Rowling wasn’t exaggerating when she emphasized the Weasleys’ poverty. Not only that, but he gave Fred and George $25,000 of Triwizard Tournament winnings to start their joke shop because he didn't need it.” As the user explains, "At the World Cup, he spent $750 to buy he, Ron, and Hermione Omnioculars as Christmas presents. It’s no secret that Harry was wealthy, but seeing his riches converting into USD helps to put things into perspective. A quick and easy way to convert your Galleons, Sickles and Knuts into Pounds Sterling and vice versa. And it looks like even wizards are subject to overpriced textbooks: a copy of Advanced Potion Making would cost more than a wand, according to the Reddit user.Īubieismyhome went on to look at what this says about the socioeconomic status of the characters in the Harry Potter universe. To put that in context, the price of a butterbeer comes out to about $3, while Harry’s wand would have cost him $175 (which is not a bad deal, considering it's a wizard's most prized possession). Based on this information, aubieismyhome was able to approximate that a galleon was roughly equivalent to $25, a sickle to $1.50, and a knut to 5 cents. The Reddit user compared the prices of things bought in the wizarding world (for example, hot chocolate, butterbeer, and a potion-making book) to equivalent items from the Muggle world. From there, the fan used a little extra math to figure out how to convert this value into Muggle currency. ![]() According to Hagrid, 1 galleon equals 17 sickles, and 1 sickle equals 29 knuts. The in-depth breakdown starts by listing the exchange rates between the three coins that make up wizard currency, which Hagrid lays out for Harry in the first book. For one, what exactly was the value of all that wizard money they were throwing around? If you’ve ever pondered this question but lacked the nerdy ambition to figure it out for yourself, you finally have answer thanks to Reddit user aubieismyhome, who calculated the exchange rate.īy detailing everything that’s been given value in the Harry Potter books, aubieismyhome was able to analyze the worth of wizard money. Rowling constructed in the Harry Potter series raises a lot of questions. ![]() “This isn’t fault (she is doing the best one can), but this is a gushing geyser of disinformation that is cannot be fact-checked in real time,” added Dan Pfeiffer. “This format programmed her - and the country - for failure,” echoed Tom Nichols. “The format was impossible and CNN’s bosses should have known that.” ( Twitter) ![]() “This was not Kaitlin Collins’ fault,” Charlie Sykes said. “Even in a world where was correcting every Trump lie as they spewed forth - and we are pretty far from that world - the braying crowd would make Trump look like the victor,” contended Jonathan Chait. “No easy task given how many factually untrue things he said in such a short time.” ( Twitter) “Props to who was in an impossible position but did a heroic job of fact-checking Trump throughout the town hall,” Peter Baker tweeted. “Trump seemed to have a significant home field advantage over Collins,” Jeremy Barr wrote. “But he’s let someone on now who says it’s raining when it’s not, and he added hundreds of people to applaud when he does it.” ( Twitter) “Chris Licht said he wouldn’t allow anyone on his network that said it’s raining when it’s not,” Alex Sherman pointed out. “At the same time, I feel like Kaitlan Collins is doing as good as she can in this situation,” he added. Justin Baragona said CNN was walking away from the town hall “with a lot of egg” on its face. Trump, who despite his ubiquity in political life has rarely appeared on mainstream TV outside of Fox News since leaving office,” Michael Grynbaum wrote. ![]() “This was a preview of what American journalism can expect from a 2024 campaign featuring Mr. Trump is probably going to be the nominee and we need to be clear-eyed about what we’re dealing with.” ( Twitter) We can’t hide from the fight in front of us. To that point: “I have complaints, but I don’t really blame CNN for having a townhall with the GOP front runner,” Sarah Longwell argued. Should news outlets sanitize it or stare it in the face?” ( Twitter) “Look away if you choose, but this is what it’s going to be like. “THIS is the 2024 Republican presidential primary,” Brian Stelter wrote. “This is CNN’s lowest moment as an organization,” James Fallows argued. “Like giving a microphone to Drunk Uncle and saying: go for it!” ( Twitter) “This thing was madness, total madness,” Bill Carter said. A friendly MAGA crowd consistently laughs, claps at Trump’s punch lines - including re sex assault and Jan 6 - and the moderator cannot begin to keep up with the AR-15 pace of lies.” ( Twitter) “The predictably disastrous town hall was indeed disastrous,” television news vet Mark Lukasiewicz tweeted. “That is CNN’s role and responsibility: to get answers and hold the powerful to account.” “And she followed up and fact-checked President Trump in real time to arm voters with crucial information about his positions as he enters the 2024 election as the Republican frontrunner.” She asked tough, fair and revealing questions,” a network spokesperson said. “Tonight Kaitlan Collins exemplified what it means to be a world-class journalist. Will they defend what transpired at Saint Anselm College? Or will they express some regret? How Licht and other CNN executives address the criticism in the coming days and weeks will be crucial. CNN and new network boss Chris Licht are facing a fury of criticism - both internally and externally over the event. While Collins is largely receiving praise for her relentless fact-checking of the former president, she was facing an impossible task. “They can’t believe he is getting an hour on CNN with an audience that cheers his every line and laughs at his every joke.” “Advisers to Trump are thrilled at how this is going so far for him,” The NYT’s Jonathan Swan reported. Trump’s team was, naturally, delighted with the result, according to reports. Jean Carroll’s allegations of sexual assault, which a jury found him liable for on Tuesday. He took no responsibility for the January 6 insurrection that those very lies incited. A professional lie machine, Trump fired off falsehoods at a rapid clip while using his bluster to overwhelm Collins, stealing command of the stage at some points of the town hall. Trump frequently ignored or spoke over Collins throughout the evening as he unleashed a firehose of disinformation upon the country, which a sizable swath of the GOP continues to believe. “You cannot keep saying that all night long.” President,” Collins told Trump at one point during the event. That there was no evidence for the lies he was disseminating on stage. Over and over and over again, she told him that the election was not stolen. ![]() She fact-checked Trump throughout the 70-minute town hall. Kaitlan Collins is as tough and knowledgable of an interviewer as they come. It’s hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN Wednesday evening.
