Ahahah cool!

Well, obviously I still love videosift, both for its content, its users, and also because it is a live demonstration that open voting (as opposed to secret voting) may work very well, if designed properly

Nope, no bot here.

Of course people remember you! You're one of our few long-time veterans who still shows up, thank goodness.

What at E3 are you most excited about? (Videogames Talk Post)

RedSky says...

Honestly, nothing at all.

I found AC repetitive as hell and I don't see the gimmick of flying or dual hidden blades being of any real significance to the gameplay.

Don't own a console so I can't really be excited about God of War, Galaxy 2, or Final Fantasy 'whatever number they're up to now'.

Modern Warfare 2 is intriguing and will no doubt have a compelling but all too predictably short single player but I'm kind of pissed off from initial reports that they won't really be changing much in the way of multiplayer besides changing some guns. Perks will remain the same except for eavesdrop as far as I've heard and that's just really a silly move when some of them are either just badly conceived ideas, or are plain out useless.

Can't really get excited about motion control technology until I see it implemented into an actual triple-A title in a workable way. The tech demos, especially Sony's, which actually showed off a live demonstration rather than showing off 'hard to believe this would actually work in real life' video footage a la Microsoft, was pretty interesting.

Monkey Island SE looks like something to put on the to play list, although I don't know what to think about the episodic sequel yet.

Also, Deus Ex 3 didn't make a showing which probably says it'll be ages before its release sadly.

Hard Drive Click of Death Explanation and Live Demonstration

This happened to me less than a week ago. Ugh.


Me too, was yours on a month old drive?

I replaced 3 drives with a single 1TB Seagate Barracuda, and on the 31st day (damn you Best Buy) it started clanking on me.

Backups are great unless you've got several hundred GB of data to store. Life would be a lot easier if they'd find a massive storage media that doesn't require moving parts.

Galileo Was Right - Hammer and Feather on the Moon

silvercord says...

At the end of the last Apollo 15 moon walk, Commander David Scott (pictured above) performed a live demonstration for the television cameras. He held out a geologic hammer and a feather and dropped them at the same time. Because they were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before - all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass. Mission Controller Joe Allen described the demonstration in the "Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report":

During the final minutes of the third extravehicular activity, a short demonstration experiment was conducted. A heavy object (a 1.32-kg aluminum geological hammer) and a light object (a 0.03-kg falcon feather) were released simultaneously from approximately the same height (approximately 1.6 m) and were allowed to fall to the surface. Within the accuracy of the simultaneous release, the objects were observed to undergo the same acceleration and strike the lunar surface simultaneously, which was a result predicted by well-established theory, but a result nonetheless reassuring considering both the number of viewers that witnessed the experiment and the fact that the homeward journey was based critically on the validity of the particular theory being tested.
