![]() ![]() In 1938, after steel automobile bodies were introduced, the company filed for bankruptcy and was sold to the American Billiard and Bowling Company. By 1928, the firm was the second largest builder of wooden automobile bodies in the United States, producing 20 to 25 a week, and generating annual sales of $1 million ($14 million today).Ī lot of people who worked in this building for the cabinet company come back now that it is the Rusty Rail and they are blown away. During the 1920s, MBC employed 300 people and the company ran its own bus line to shuttle workers from the countryside. MBC doubled its manufacturing capacity and sales hit $315,000 ($3.75 million today) by 1920. (During the 1880s, carriage seats were manufactured in a separate building at the rear of the complex.) In 1917, MBGC - which made carriage bodies, gears and axles as well as automobile bodies - merged with the buggy company to form Mifflinburg Body Company (MBC). In 1911, with the emergence of the automobile, several prominent local businessmen formed the Mifflinburg Body and Gear Company and erected the building that houses the brewery today. While sipping a cold one that was brewed on-site, diners can check out two other things that were made in this storied space: a 1917 Ford Model TT “Huckster” and a 1923 Ford Model TT “Stake Body.” (The Rail offers a dinner/show package for music fans wanting to grab a bite before a concert.) Hard cider and various Pennsylvania wines - stored in a large bank safe - are available for non-suds-lovers. The voluminous food menu contains an array of appetizers, sandwiches and platters to pair with one of their four signature and eight rotating craft beers. He notes that Rusty Rail’s “craft beer idols” - Troegs Independent Brewing, Victory Brewing Company, Appalachian Brewing Company - are all thriving PA companies with anchor brewpubs. “Music was not meant to be a profit center, though we want to make money on it,” explains Schrader. Weekly concerts - which draw up to several hundred guests per show - feature Americana, blues, bluegrass, folk and rock music. The main dining area on the first floor provides a view of the 15-barrel brewing system, various hand-painted murals and the main stage where national acts such as Yarn, Dom Flemons and the Hackensaw Boys have showcased their talents. According to Schrader, 40 weddings are already booked for 2016. The Mural Lounge, a space featuring leather chairs and a leather couch, abuts the banquet hall, which is available for holiday parties, community functions and wedding receptions for up to 300 guests. The second floor Game Room offers two 1923 Brunswick pool tables, foosball, shuffleboard, darts, six large-screen TVs, four video-game tables and a full-service bar. The reconditioned red-brick building boasts a large wooden deck known as the Beer Garden, with Bavarian-style picnic tables and a rustic gas forage fireplace. Rich Schrader, Rusty Rail General Manager This is a destination in Mifflinburg that celebrates and pays tribute to the generations of hard-working men and women who built the community. Decorated liberally with antiques - including old bank safes that were used to safeguard bankrolls - the space is an homage to an earlier era of American industry. But they ‘get it’ when they experience and that is the story they share with their families and friends.”Ĭountless elements in the 37,500-square-foot building were repurposed, from the rail spikes that comprise the door handles, to the half-inch thick pine doors, to the assembly-line chains that support the staircase handrails. “We want to make it an experience that people won’t forget. “It’s all about the experience,” he continues. ![]() The business is operated by Paul and Eric John their entrepreneurial family also owns Ritz-Craft Corporation, a home construction company.Īccording to Rusty Rail General Manager Rich Schrader - who also served as the renovation’s project manager - the mission of the brewpub is to create “a destination in Mifflinburg that celebrates and pays tribute to the generations of hard-working men and women who built the community.” Some 166 years after buggy carriage seats were first made on Eighth Street in this Union County town, the Rusty Rail Brewing Company is continuing that proud manufacturing legacy. A labor of love by two brothers has turned a dilapidated industrial center into a modern-day brewpub, breathing new life into downtown Mifflinburg. ![]()

![]() ![]() Space never really interested me, especially in games. I found the characters in corridors more challenging. These guys were harder than this areas boss. Not exactly a breeze, but in comparison to some of the epic battles in Bloodborne, Sekiro or perhaps a Final Fantasy VII Remake tussle, the combat, while different for each boss, was predictable and formulaic. However, the bosses are easy in Hellpoint. In my previous experiences with this sort of game, I’d always enlist online help with the more difficult bosses or if I was under levelled (that’s why I couldn’t get on with Sekiro). I can’t say the same about the bosses, a.k.a. The larger enemies are even better – looking like a fusion of Silent Hill and Hexen type characters whose invite you’d deny if they said come over for some lamb. Manoeuvring around platforms felt smooth unlike the awkward rolling off of edges in DS, Spawn can jump and almost glide to other locations.Īs can be expected, the minion-like enemies are mostly the same in appearance, but their attack patterns differ significantly, are much more organic and dare I say, quick. In that sense, the game is very versatile. The combat was the highlight as you can lock on enemies sweep in and out or take a step back and used ranged attacks. Source: Screen capture Bloodborne In SpaceĪs a console gamer, I thought the visuals were crisp, and the game ran relatively smooth. Hellpoint is the same as DS in that the currency is axioms instead of souls, but it’s the same format bonfire, level up, the next level will cost you more, etc… Connect call. I love a good old grind obtaining enough souls to invest in a strength or dexterity build. The speedrunners/evasive experts that are masters at the game and invest their stats in one particular build and travel light, or there are the grinders who repeat areas, get a little OP so they can embrace the moniker ‘tank’. ![]() Two types play this type of game, from my experience. You run through various parts of Irid Novo killing lesser characters that are mildly challenging, but after a few dozen attempts and levelling up, sections become less stressful until you find a new area. Sent to Irid Novo – an apparent hot spot for the occult, your job is to investigate and uncover what the hell is going on.Īa a third-person action RPG, immediate comparisons would be Dark Souls (from now on DS), but the combat is more like Bloodborne and has less rigidity than the former. You play an advanced human/AI who has been engineered, labelled Spawn – not the McFarlane creation otherwise, this adventure would be easy. First impressions when starting the game was a mixture of Etherborn, Dark Forces (don’t ask) and a hint of the film Event Horizon. Unfortunately, due to the early release, finding a single player to assist was non-existent, but by the time this hits the shelves, I don’t doubt the numbers will be there. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t play online with others, but the Dark Souls series, which this will be compared to countless times, but I depend on the assistance of much better players than I am – notably, for the guardians as with Code Vein. The next in a long list of disclaimers is the overall score, and this review is solely based on solo play. There was the odd ragdoll effect too, but only on death. ![]() I tested my controllers in case of drift, but there was a slight movement now and then on the camera. I did notice a little bit of stuttering with the PS4, surprisingly, when standing still. ![]() While the PC edition is notably sharper, it was a little more practical for me to play on the PS4, and considering the time to invest in the game, I stuck with the console version throughout. This review covers the PS4 version, but tinyBuild kindly provided both this and the PC.

When you modify the photocell, the differences in the time it takes the laser to return are detected. The cadmium sulfide photocell, which is very sensitive to infrared light, is the destination.

Weakened by his travel through the Gates, Shadow is almost killed, but Kali, a member of an underground resistance that opposes Titan's reign, rescues him and takes him back to the resistance's hideout. Immediately upon arrival, Shadow is attacked by Shroud, a servant of Titan. He succeeds and ventures into the Shadow Realm on his own.
