![]() Averted in 2, because they destroy every Hypercube on the board. However, in Classic (in Bejeweled 3), it commonly falls under Simple, yet Awesome territory. Difficult, but Awesome: Matching two Hypercubes together in 3 and Blitz.As you watch the ice column slowly "powering up" for the big freeze, you frantically try to make other matches, hoping the Random Number God will favour you with the right jewels, but it doesn't. You look around for find a match that could lower or shatter it only to realize there are none. An ice column has reached the top of the play field. Controllable Helplessness: You're playing Ice Storm in Bejeweled 3.Cluster F-Bomb: part of the background music for the first game.Casual Video Game: One of the most well-known tile-matching games.Fortunately, unlike Candy Crush Saga, you don't have to pester Facebook friends to unlock later levels. Stars implements a similar Facebook-linking and coin-paying system, although the coins don't directly purchase you in-game boosts but instead lets you speed up crafting of them or get extra moves in levels.The new version also adds shards and diamonds to upgrade boosts, the former of which can be obtained only by using some gems, and the latter is only obtainable by upgrading boosts, and once you exhausted that option, you need to open chests, some of which require credits to purchase. The iOS version links to the iTunes Store, and the Android version links to Google Play. You can link your Blitz game to your Facebook account and earn coins as you play, which was used to purchase in-game boosts (which are now free and have stronger effects) and is still used to buy (much more expensive) gems you can also use Facebook credits to purchase coins.Doesn't stop the Fruit Gem Bonus dance animation from being wicked cool, though. Supernovas require to get 6 in a row, which is very difficult to set up without breaking your multiplier, and Fruit gems only appear if you've gotten enough moves in a row to get a ×10 multiplier and then fill the meter again (this time with colour-cycling indicators instead of yellow ones), which is not only difficult but fruit gems aren't powerful enough to justify it. Awesome, but Impractical: Supernova and Fruit gems in Twist.Fortunately, the Random Number God favors drops that can easily be turned into special gems in this mode more than any other, making creating them less of a hassle. Anti-Frustration Features: Wall Blast in 3 requires the player to destroy a wall that can only be torn down with special gems.The game was largely inspired by an old online game called The Colors Game, but The Colors Game had several differences: it didn't have instructions, it didn't have credits, it didn't have sound, and you had to refresh your screen after every move. ![]() Not to be confused with the trope Gem-Encrusted, or the index Bejeweled Tropes. And see also: Gyromancer, while not formally a Bejeweled game, is basically Bejeweled Twist embedded in a Role-Playing Game by Square Enix (who co-developed it with PopCap).Bejeweled Stars: implements Candy Crush Saga-like objective-based gameplay with crystals and gravels that need to be cleared and skygems that can be collected to craft power-ups.Bejeweled 3 (Chinese release): An Updated Re Release of 3 with two new game modes and some slight gameplay changes to make the game easier.Bejeweled 3: has 8 different modes, as well as a bunch of Quest submodes.Bejeweled Blitz: is played like the regular game, but you only have one minute to score as many points as you can.Bejeweled Twist: uses a different method to move gems (you "twist" a square of four gems) but is no less addictive.Bejeweled 2: marks the debut of special gems, a universal space exploration theme, several different gameplay modes, unlockables and more.Has officially been completed, because someone finally legitimately hit the Cap. Renowned as one of the greatest casual games ever it is constantly ripped off and constantly played. The game was (and still is) very successful, and it was so successful that numerous Product Placement versions of the game were created. This was originally called Diamond Mine, until Microsoft suggested the new name to avoid confusion with another flash game Diamond Mines. If you get a row (or column) of at least three of the same jewels together, your score goes up. Seriously, it's a puzzle game you've probably heard of.

![]() Many of these channels are set to “broadcast only,” giving only the admins the right to post messages. Some of these fake Telegram groups are incredibly intricate copies of the original group, from similar-looking profiles and pinned messages to similarly named admins. You think you’re joining a recommended or reputable group or channel, but it’s actually a fake version of that group or channel. The Dirty Dozen of Telegram scams and how they work Fake Telegram groups and channels If something seems off to you, like a misspelled word or odd-looking logo, then consider it a red flag. Telegram is plagued by fake job listings, fake classified ads, and fake groups. Many Telegram scams involve scammers or their bots impersonating other Telegram users, admins, or customer support staff. You’ll find some of the more common ones below. It’s safest to assume that every scheme involving cryptocurrencies is a scam until you can confirm that it’s not. Scammers flock to the world of crypto in general, and Telegram is certainly no exception. Pretty much anything involving cryptocurrencies Be wary of people asking to continue the conversation somewhere else. Scammers will often entice or pressure you to move to another platform or website, somewhere where they can more easily gain access to your sensitive information or get malware onto your device. Encouragement to move the conversation away from Telegram This could be a bot or a live scammer impersonating legitimate tech support. It’s easy to be swayed by relief, impatience, and gratitude when a tech support worker or customer service representative offers to help just as you were describing a problem you’re having. Investment opportunities, free prizes, cheap goods-have your guard up and be skeptical when you come across any of these. Telegram is no different than any other online platform or corner of the world: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Companies conducting business on TelegramĮven though some companies do use Telegram and even Telegram bots as part of their communication strategies, you should always be suspicious of anyone or anything that reaches out to you on Telegram and claims to represent a reputable company. This is a common tactic used in many different scams, not just those on Telegram. If you’re being pressured to act quickly, either through the promise of a time-limited opportunity or the threat of something going wrong if you don’t, then chances are you’re dealing with a Telegram scam. The dozen scams outlined below represent a mixed bag of tactics and goals, but most will be categorized by many of the following. Giving Telegram scammers access to your sensitive information is far worse than just giving them money. Full-on identity theft is on the cards, too. Given enough personal information, scammers can steal your cryptocurrencies (especially if you keep your assets on an exchange) or take out loans in your name. Losing money is what many people fear the most, but giving up sensitive information is far worse. Looking through the most common scams on Telegram, you’ll notice that they all end in one of three ways: the victim sends the scammers money, the scammers steal personal information from the victim, or both. A well-crafted scam can catch anyone off guard, and at least one of the scams below can reach out and defraud people who have never even heard of Telegram. You also don’t want a false sense of security to be your downfall. Help keep them safe by staying up to date. Maybe you’re even the one who convinced them to come across. If you’re on Telegram then it’s a pretty safe bet that so are some of your friends and family. Even if you don’t think you could ever fall for any of the scams described below, you need to know how they work. ![]() Doctor’s Job ResponsibilitiesĪ doctor’s goal is to heal people’s bodies through surgery, medication, treatment, and diagnosis. It allows them to discharge their duties effectively, even while working on weekends. ![]() A work-life balance helps doctors diagnose diseases accurately, increases job satisfaction, and makes them happier overall. Why Is Work-Life Balance Important for Doctors?ĭoctors’ work-life balance is essential because it allows them to enjoy all aspects of their life without sacrificing their careers and personal accomplishments. Work-life balance is not an achievement with a finish line, but consistent choices to prioritize the right things, according to Harvard Business Review. Having a work-life balance means striking a healthy middle ground in our daily lives between work and leisure or family time. What Does It Mean to Have Work-Life Balance? It is the idea that people can strike a reasonable equilibrium between their family life and professional lives. It’s about having sufficient control over your work schedule to allow free time to spend with family, friends, and other pursuits outside of work. Work-life balance is the ability to lead a healthy and fulfilling life both inside and outside work. ![]()
![]() If a character portrayed by an actor (or that version of a character, if an adaptation) becomes more famous than their portrayer, the actor's name may be completely unknown to all except trivia buffs and paradoxically lead to extreme typecasting to the extent that an actor can't escape being pigeonholed, or rather mine it for the rest of their life. Iconic movie stars have their image reproduced in so many other places that it is easy to recognize their faces or get what part of them is being parodied and alluded to, without having to ever watch any of the movies they starred in. A "famous author" can be widely read, best-selling but largely unread, widely quote-mined, or just well known for "being an author". People, groups, art movements, and entire genres can also be swallowed by Mainstream Obscurity. When the work has become so famous that "everybody else knows about it", yet no one has actually read or been exposed to that work, that work is wallowing in Mainstream Obscurity. A good example is a famous witticism that an intellectual is someone who can listen to Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture without thinking of The Lone Ranger note on account of the fact that the finale of Rossini's overture became a Standard Snippet used by the famous TV show, becoming associated with The Wild West despite the fact that it derives from an Italian opera about a Swiss rebel, which, being that it's an opera, has a smaller audience. Thing is, these elements become so overexposed that a lot of people might think they've seen it, or might even feel they don't have to see it, but individuals can't name things about it beyond these famous well-known aspects. ![]() Sure it lands on every critic's top 10 list, has a fantastic word of mouth on many amateur review sites, and is one of the most truly well-known works in media, and some part of the media (the Iconic Outfit, Iconic Item, Signature Scene) is known by Pop-Cultural Osmosis.
