You won't be missing any key plot points if you stick to killing things, but the clues provide an essential element to anyone looking for the full, engrossing experience. Barricaded in his recording booth, and armed only with a bottle of bourbon and a can of peas, he occasionally broadcasts to an audience that may not even exist, trying to make sense of the sudden invasion and the collapse of his entire world. It's a minor occurrence that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot, but I found myself crouching beside abandoned cars and searching ravaged buildings, listening to radios left behind, hoping to hear his voice.
Those broadcasts were rare, but his own adventure — sometimes funny, usually upsetting and always delivered in a perfect radio voice — was as important as my own. Resistance 2's single-player campaign absolutely nails that feeling of desperation, hitting that serious tone without ever becoming overbearing.
Nathan Hale and his fellow Sentinels don't provide much in the way of idle chatter, but are instead touched with a palpable sense of resolve — they're literally fighting the clock, as their infections must be kept in check with chemical inhibitors.
Tensions rise with every detour or delay, and the story accommodates their taut nerves with arguments and altercations. Once you're done with the single-player campaign, you've got an entirely different sort of game waiting for you with Resistance 2's multiplayer offerings. First up is a traditional competitive mode, where players square off in variants of death match, capture the flag and king of the hill modes. The key difference here is that up to 60 players can participate.
While all the players will be divided into squads to keep some semblance of order — with rival squads pitted against each other — the absolute chaos that erupts is actually pretty enjoyable. And then there's the eight-player Co-op mode, which is pretty much an entire game unto itself. I can't bring myself to forgive Insomniac for removing the traditional co-op campaign, even though the company's reasoning is sound: Tacking on a second player didn't make any sense, and a game that's been balanced for one player often loses a bit of the challenge when others join in.
Nevertheless, I played through the original Resistance with a pack of friends, and was hoping to do the same in the sequel. Fortunately, the new cooperative mode is an absolute blast to play, with a Team Fortress-esque vibe where players are absolutely dependent on their comrades.
Your goal is to fight through Chimeran hordes and complete a number of objectives, in a campaign that runs parallel to the single-player mode and actually reveals story elements that you won't discover otherwise. There are three classes to play, with up to eight people per team. The Soldier is armed with a heavy machine gun and can raise a defensive shield, but burns through ammo.
The Spec Ops can dispense ammo liberally, but is armed with an automatic sniper rifle and will crumple if he takes too much fire. The Medic is tasked with keeping everyone alive, draining health from the enemy and distributing it back to the team.
Characters earn experience points as they fight and complete missions with each class, which they can use to unlock new weapons and abilities, and other options to further customize their characters. Tying it all together is the new and improved MyResistance experience. While the site remains in beta until the game launches Tuesday, it will provide a full social networking experience, connecting players through their PlayStation Network user names.
I've always hoped more games would take this route , as the site will compile a ridiculous number of statistics how many times have I killed someone with the alternate fire on my shotgun? Participation is optional, but those who use the site's features will be able to blog, send messages to friends, track down people they've competed against and compare their progress to buddies or complete strangers.
Hormones produced by the placenta contribute to insulin resistance, which occurs in all women during late pregnancy. Most pregnant women can produce enough insulin to overcome insulin resistance, but some cannot.
As with type 2 diabetes, extra weight is linked to gestational diabetes. Women who are overweight or obese may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant.
Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor. Having a family history of diabetes makes it more likely that a woman will develop gestational diabetes, which suggests that genes play a role. Genetic mutations , other diseases, damage to the pancreas, and certain medicines may also cause diabetes.
Some hormonal diseases cause the body to produce too much of certain hormones, which sometimes cause insulin resistance and diabetes. Pancreatitis , pancreatic cancer, and trauma can all harm the beta cells or make them less able to produce insulin, resulting in diabetes.
If the damaged pancreas is removed, diabetes will occur due to the loss of the beta cells. However, statins help protect you from heart disease and stroke. For this reason, the strong benefits of taking statins outweigh the small chance that you could develop diabetes. If you take any of these medicines and are concerned about their side effects, talk with your doctor. The NIDDK translates and disseminates research findings to increase knowledge and understanding about health and disease among patients, health professionals, and the public.
Diabetes Overview What is Diabetes? What causes type 1 diabetes? What causes type 2 diabetes? What causes gestational diabetes? What else can cause diabetes? What are the symptoms of diabetes? Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst and urination increased hunger fatigue blurred vision numbness or tingling in the feet or hands sores that do not heal unexplained weight loss Symptoms of type 1 diabetes can start quickly, in a matter of weeks.
Overweight, obesity, and physical inactivity You are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes if you are not physically active and are overweight or obese. Insulin resistance Type 2 diabetes usually begins with insulin resistance , a condition in which muscle, liver , and fat cells do not use insulin well. Genes and family history As in type 1 diabetes, certain genes may make you more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance Hormones produced by the placenta contribute to insulin resistance, which occurs in all women during late pregnancy.
Hormonal changes, extra weight, and family history can contribute to gestational diabetes. Genes and family history Having a family history of diabetes makes it more likely that a woman will develop gestational diabetes, which suggests that genes play a role.
Genetic mutations Monogenic diabetes is caused by mutations, or changes, in a single gene. These changes are usually passed through families, but sometimes the gene mutation happens on its own.
