Slightly leaning towards #1 at the moment, because it would mean that my tv could be on ideal height, cables would be hidden in the wall and would cause an overall cleaner look. If I go for #2, the TV wouldn’t be on ideal height, which I believe is more important than a soundbar on the ideal height? I’m just not sure how much importance the distance (10cm vs 14cm vs 18cm on cabinet) has and the info from Sonos is confusing. Option #3 could be a possibility, but the Arc is only 43cm (seating height of sofa is 45cm) off the floor, isn’t that too low? Also, no hidden cables. I might be totally overthinking this, but I’m a perfectionist when it comes to these things and want to do it right. You're welcome.įor reals though, wait until you get all the bits, run it for a bit with the Arc sitting where the Beam is (no drilling or repositioning bits). See how the pieces actually look when close to each other. You're measuring things down to a few cm, but likely not taking into account things like, the Arc has an oval cross section. It may fit better, or worse, than you're expecting. Gibbons wrote a story outline, titled Underworld, which laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Beneath a Steel Sky.(Also, you're trying to hit the right height for the TV down to the cm - is that for when you're sitting up straight? or slouching down relaxed? How about the relative height of whoever will join you on the couch occasionally?) Run with the Arc sitting in front for a bit, look at the pile of pics that will show up here of the wall mounting bracket and exactly how it fits, and then figure out whether you want to wall mount it all, and how high up. Set in Australia in the wake of some unspecified apocalyptic event, it’s the story of a man named Foster trying to escape from a dystopian metropolis called Union City. A helicopter crash left him stranded in the Outback as a boy and he was raised by a group of aboriginals. At the beginning of the game, a jack-booted security force arrives in his village, kills his adopted family, and takes him to the city as a prisoner-and he has no idea why. With such a dark premise and that evocative title, you’d be forgiven for thinking Beneath a Steel Sky was some kind of earnest, weighty science fiction story. In some respects it is, but mostly it has the peculiar whimsy of a sitcom from the 1970s. Inspired by the success of LucasArts adventure games such as Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island, Revolution injected the game with a distinctly British sense of humour. The jaunty music, slapstick, and silly jokes jar with the bleak setting, and for a game supposedly set in Australia, most of the people you meet have stereotypical regional English accents. I can’t think of a game with more northerners in it. It’s a politically charged game, informed by the era in which it was made. But they don’t do enough with this aspect of the story, focusing mainly on Foster’s immediate predicament. It feels like a missed opportunity, because dystopian fiction is often a great way to say something meaningful about our own society.
True, there are some thoughtful moments in the game that touch on these issues. But in the next moment, you’ll be solving an elaborate puzzle to flip a dog into a swimming pool.
