I get what you're saying, I just think the title reads as "homemade-drone video" whereas you obviously meant it as "amateur drone-video".

I just got a GoPro myself and I cannot tell you how tempted I am to buy one of these Apparently you can even get them to follow you down a track or mountain. Awesome bit of kit

The sound we hear hasn't got anything to do with the drums played in the video, other than faint thuds from hitting the pads - watch the drum fill at 0:29 - he plays a drum fill, but we still hear the regular drums from the original track.

As well - even if this was a "proper" rock band recording, you'd only trigger the pre-recorded sounds anyway, save for the odd drum fill.

For a Rock Band session to qualify as a livemusic, in my opinion, you'd have to overdub the drums with the sounds generated from a proper drumkit - electronic or acoustic.

And yes, I own and play rock band myself - I have an Alesis Dm10 kit hooked up with MIDI for proper drums, the Rock Band Keyboard for proper keyboard and the Fender Squier plastic fantastic "Strat" for MIDI guitar. It is especially fun with friends and beer.

I've never used Oculus yet. I have no idea what version of the kit this is. Concerned at the lag between head movement and movement on the monitors. Very noticable, is this the first dev kit?

Does that lag even matter? Is it far more refreshed in the headset versus what we see on the monitor?

OK, a few things.
First of all, how can you hate this? They even had a vagician!
Still cracks me up.

Second, look, I'm not a female so I'm probably not the best person to comment on this but...
I've seen "Carrie" and even read the book (which obviously makes me an expert), so I wouldn't compare the first period with random erections. I don't know about you but I had them way before I knew what they truly meant. When girls get their first period, they are at least capable of understanding it (depending on their sexual education more or less well). And it is a bigger deal. Not like making you an awkward, homicidal X-Men big but noteworthy when it happens the first time.
Just from a stigmata perspective (not even talking the maintenance side of things) it's a quite different thing. How many boner jokes did you see and hear on average in movies or TV last year? How many menstruation jokes? See where this is going? It's still very much a taboo subject. You're more likely to find videos here about fucking children than menstruation. That's how comfortable our western culture is with the subject.

Third, the only stupid thing about this is that there is a country that is super rich and wealthy and still somebody feels the need to sell a menstruation starter kit to the parents living there. And that commercial is not aimed at single fathers (who'd probably really love such a kit), no, it's aimed at the moms. You know, the women who menstruated for (hopefully) at least a decade or two before their little girls start as well. Just like their grandmothers and great-grandmothers. They are supposed to buy that shit. Welcome to the country of vajazzling!
Still, hilarious video! Exactly the shit I'd pull on my kids if I had any (and the exact reason I shouldn't have kids).

The US commercialises everything. A Period starter kit?
What about the hello boner package or the "My First Dump" toddler present (I used the name first! Back off!)

Amazing bit of kit, but for US$845k, it would want to be!

For anyone wondering like I was, it costs $325.00 USD [discounted pre-order]

Wait, is this a pre-packaged legal kit? Can I get one?
Please? Can I do this?

He seems to understand the effort put out to (nicely, tidy) take it all apart.


I would have bought another kit, half-assed it together for an hour or two, then left it and the rest of the bricks on the floor beside the table.

1) More evil than merely hiding it, like he initially thought.
2) Takes far less effort than what they did.
3) He gets another Falcon.

I have seen this, not out in the middle of nowhere, but through an office window in Waltham, Massachusetts. The hunter was a mother fox with three kits, and she seemed to come up with a mouse more often than not. Wish I could remember which direction she jumped in ...

No more of a concentration of chlorine in municipal tap-water than is in most swimming pools-The city I live in, you can take a sample of tap and test it with a pool test kit and get levels that would be fine in a swimming pool with a stable PH-I've even tested tap-water that had higher concentrations of chlorine than a stable pool.

Won't hurt em terribly but hey: How do WE know the gator dint have burny eyes, eh? He most assuredly wanted out of that enclosure and back into some dirt-water though...

Sometimes when you mess up you have to own up to it as a referee. The best thing he could've done in this situation after making the call is say it was an inadvertent whistle and restart play with a drop ball to the keeper. Which he would've done anyways if there was a stoppage of play that doesn't result in a free kick, like a quick correction of a players kit.

Interesting to see the way he adapted his setup (playing the bass with left foot, but the kit is setup right handed).

Good on him. Improvise, overcome, adapt!
