Star Wars: The Complete Canon Timeline (2019)

moonsammy says...

That bit at 10:13 - 10:28 seems waaaaaay too significant to cram into 15 seconds. Dafuq?! Like, how did that not come up in conversation ever?

Luke: You knew my father?
Obi-Wan: We did some crazy shit together, son.

Star of India Tacking and Wearing

BSR says...

Interesting but hard to follow as I don't know what sails were moving. I think an animation showing the sails and movement of the ship would be a nice addition to the real ship.

That's a lot more deckhands than I thought was needed. Guess that's why they cram so many men on pirate ships.

Simple Rick's - New Freedom Wafer Select

moonsammy says...

Man, that was such a good episode. I couldn't believe how crammed full of content it was. Technically this clip is a bit of a minor spoiler, but it isn't exactly a significant plot point.

Ghost In The Shell - Trailer #2

RedSky says...

I'm more relating it to the Stand Alone Complex series, particularly the second season which is what the adaptation seems to be based on from the trailers.

It is clearly impossible for them to cram the content of that 26 episode series into a movie and I'm frankly not sure why they decided to adapt it rather than the original movie.

That had plenty of discussion about simulations, emergent phenomena and group think. Definitely bordered on pretentiousness (there was an episode which adapted Taxi Driver) but still very enjoyable.

My memory of the original movie is that it was that there was about 5 minutes of the characters philosophizing on the difficulty of self-identity in a cyber world amid an hour and a half of sexy sci-fi robot murder sprees. I think they can match that.

Star Citizen Vanduul driller 2016

lv_hunter says...

People are paying them to develop the game. As far as i know, very very people have spent up to 100K.

Even if someone has the best stuff. If they're terrible pilots, a good pilot with a cheap ship can easily beat someone in a expensive ship.

Yes people are pumping money into it, development is taking time, but the game is huge and a lot ifs being developed as far as ultra HD graphics, going from huge area flight and ground based combat.

"Oh but battlefield has flight and ground based combat!" yes all within a confines of a couple 10 KM. The bengal carrier is supposed to be in complexity of a couple BF maps crammed into one area.

But going back, once the game goes live fully, no one will have the ability to purchase in game ships with real money, though who knows, that might change.

But going back to "pwning newsbs" any one with a decent ship with excellent piloting skills can pwn someone with ha ultra expensive ship. This certainly isn't a , paying top dollar and being on top. If you're gonna pay top dollar, you're gonna be in the arena commanders playing vs bots and now vs other players in dog fight melees. Those people are going to be good because they're gonna be excellent pilots.

But, the game isn't all about dog fighting. You can be a miner, a merchant, a racer, an explorer, heck farming is going to be implemented as well.

But I mostly have a sense you don't actually understand the game in general. The game is leagues ahead of no mans sky just for the fact it'll be a persistent universe with players all over the place that you can interact with.

As good as this game looks, I can't figure out who on earth would pay top dollar just to get teabagged by some Saudi oil baron's son who had the requisite 3 million dollars to get the best stuff..

In all seriousness though - I don't understand how the real money investment is going to be justified in terms of gameplay. If you pay top top money then you expect the game to work, be good fun, and have a big advantage over all the people who can't afford all the good stuff (AKA "pwning newbs" in the parlance of our time). But if they don't keep the newbs playing the game, the game world will be empty, no economy or trade, it'll be a dead game - who wants to keep playing a game where some pay2win kid runs circles round you all day? So how do you keep newbies interested and keep them playing, whilst also still ensuring people who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars will have their huge advantage over everyone else? How will an economy work within that system too?

I feel like it's a recipe for either a dead game, or some seriously pissed off rich people. If the rich people don't mind dropping 100k on a game, will they mind dropping 100k on suing the developers? The frankly ridiculous buy-ins may have given them some very big headaches before the game has even started, in terms of economy and relative strength of the players. Starting to get no man's sky vibes.

On 9/11, This Canadian Town Welcomed In Stranded Passengers

Payback says...

It's a bit sad to say that the bigger cities were less "good". It's basically why I'll never live anywhere with more than half a million people. I find big cities cause people to be self centered and less empathetic. Big cities are constructs of wealth, not community . Humans react this way as a default. What this video shows is basic humanity. Cram them together and something is lost, the same basic humanity becomes an effort, rather than the usual reaction.

george carlin-how language is used to mask truth

Babymech says...

I know this is what he and a lot of others want to think, but for most of his examples, just like his example of stupidity vs learning disability, there are actual and reasonable grounds for the name changes. PTSD vs shell-shocked, for example, isn't a case of trying to be 'less offensive' - shell shock was an informal term coined by soldiers to describe a range of experiences and symptoms, and combat stress syndrome, PTSD, etc, were developed by professionals who wanted to make an actual diagnosis (to me, shell shock sounds a lot less harmful than PTSD, because I'm not 80 years old). It's a case of people with more expertise and knowledge than Carlin trying to create concepts that are actually useful. You could call it 'murder crazy' if you want to be 'raw' but that doesn't get us anywhere. This is the problem with Carlin's thesis - he brings in terms that he doesn't understand, describing situations that don't affect him directly, and tries to cram it into some 'old white man post-relevance get off my lawn syndrome' (OWMPGOMLS).

I know that a lot of people agree with what they see as his underlying point. I'm just saying that his examples here don't support that point.

asynchronice said:

I think you're taking a very narrow view on the point he eventually arrives to at the end. Shellshocked/PTSD/Battle Fatigue is the perfect example of the exact same thing being watered down into it's least offensive 'sounding' form. It's not two different things (say stupidity vs dyslexic).

How I Met Your Mother - Official Alternate Ending

VoodooV says...

The funny thing is that had they did this ending from the start. I would have thought something was missing. It's too perfect/happy. So I sorta understand why they did what they did originally. Still, like Yogi said, the show went on way too long. They never have the good sense to end it when it should and they keep dragging it out for money's sake for way too long until it sucks and we're sick of it.

Also what sucks is that we really don't get to know the mother much. Sure, getting to that point was great. but its still lackluster when they try to cram an entire relationship and a whole personality into one season.

NBC Censors Snowden's Critical 9/11 Comments from Interview

MilkmanDan says...

I agree that what Snowden is saying here is important -- and I personally agree with the concept fully. BUT, that being said, I don't necessarily think that NBC is guilty of "censoring" him here as a result of some hidden nefarious agenda.

The whole interview posted here is 43 minutes long. I'd guess that it is has been trimmed of some comments from Greenwald and probably the other journalist that it was mentioned made the trip to Russia with NBC. Tack commercials on top of that and you have what I'd assume is a 1 hour show on TV.

I'm sure that NBC recorded *way* more interview footage than could be crammed into a single hour, and I'd wager that his comments here didn't make the cut not because of censorship or in an effort to alter the thrust of his message, but rather simply in an effort to fill the time allotment of the show with the most interesting and relevant content possible (as judged by NBC).

So, while I'd jump at a chance to legitimately criticize the media in general and NBC specifically here, I don't think that accusing them of censorship is particularly fair. On the other hand, I might disagree with NBC's choice to cut this particular content because I do find it very interesting and relevant personally... And that in turn makes me wonder what *other* interesting stuff didn't make the 1 hour cut!

Questions for Statists

chingalera says...

*promote the discussion? Or, regardless of the meat involved toss the shitty video because the child in it is on a path to self-awareness that involves something so foreign to your sensibilities that you cram your heads in a bucket of your own bullshit and, "Carry on?"

Fantastic Toy Commercial For Future Girl Engineers

My_design says...

OK, so everyone can comment all they want about camera cuts, who did what in the commercial, whatever the f#ck you want to say tear this apart, deconstruct it or knock it down. But I'm a sixteen year veteran of the toy industry, and I see potential. I see something here that moves past the crap that Mattel and Hasbro, Jakks Pacific, Spinmaster, New Bright, Jada, MGA and others cram down the throats of kids at places like Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R Us. I'm guilty of being a part of that machine, I admit it. But I'm not necessarily happy about it, and seeing things like this makes me even less happy about it. Especially that I now have a 4 year old daughter. So I truly hope that this thing takes off. I wish them the absolute best of luck, I'm going to be voting regularly for them to get the spot, and I look forward to buying their product.
