Y'know, the first thing the new Tarkin brought to mind was LA Noire. To be honest, I think LA Noire did the whole face-scanning thing much better. Now, they had an easier job to do, where the whole game is already CG so perhaps the faces don't stand out as much, but it does feel like they did a better job.

I actually think they tried to control Tarkin's face a little bit too much. I think there will perhaps be a 'realization' in the industry that adding a host of very subtle random fluctuations to a face will make it seem more real.

I found the discussion about lips sticking together to be fascinating, and that's certainly headed in the right direction. There's probably something about gravity being applied to faces that make them seem realer, too. Like that they subtly jiggle and bounce as they move and that at a miniscule level the skeleton of the skull moves first to push the musculature and skin of the face around second. Those kinds of subtle movements are probably what could make this kind of thing realer.

I learned something fascinating about the Irish today https://youtu.be/fK2GGyaFBok

I find this fascinating,and i love Nerdwriter. *promote

Interested in what makes you say that. Did he dis Bernie and promote Hillary before the primaries? Was there an obvious bias? I was completely unaware there might have been a bias, and would be fascinated to see what makes you say that (other than just your words). Any articles or videos? It would disappoint me to no ends if he played favorites between them before the primaries. I like Stephen and love Bernie.

Fascinating.

I find models of this type fascinating.

That is absolutely incredible. Recently moved away from San Francisco after 15 years, counting my blessings that I only experienced one 6.1 tremor. That one was scary enough to make my knees shake on end for many minutes afterwards but also not exactly dangerous enough -to not be a little fascinating. But, once you start getting into 7+s, I'm sure it's absolutely terrifying beyond description, especially liquefaction, freaks me out!

That mariachi skull was super badass. Mexican & South American cultures are so fascinating. Most of us in the US hardly even know a tidbit about it. I moved down to the border into the mountainous sonoran desert in Arizona and have definitely heard that there's been an up-spike of deportation & border patrol goons since the election....

Ah well yes, he did support Trump. So if that alone makes him persona non grata, thats fine.

For me he came closest to explaining the fascination that people have with this phenomenon of post-truth, from the actual angle of a republican. Or maybe I just share some insane traits with Scott.

I find neither Scott nor Trump "persuasive" BTW, just interesting.

That is a super fascinating youtube channel right there. Thanks, dude!
I love to hear the opinion of japanese people on this. It's very unexpected and interesting. Really changed my perspective a bit.

This was a fascinating video.

I agree with @dplint that the video where Cenk discusses who he is voting for is important, too:

I was 14 when they landed on the moon. I remember watching it live on TV. I was fascinated by the space program and I still am. I eventually moved from NJ to Cape Canaveral in 1980. Got see all but 5 space shuttle launches in person, plus many rocket launches. It was a great time.

Fascinating but later on his kid will lean on it and all those glue joints will just come apart.

The beginning of interplanetary humans. Fascinating and awesome.
